Marcus stepped out onto the front porch, keeping his hands open and visible as two officers slammed him against the railing and snapped steel handcuffs around his wrists.
Victor walked up the porch steps, leaning in close with an arrogant, venomous grin.

Marcus didn't flinch. He looked Victor directly in the eye with the same icy composure he had shown in the park.

Chief Miller hesitated, glancing at the mayor before stepping inside the house to pick up the open file.
