Mateo was driving along a bridge and noticed someone on the edge, holding onto a cord that led to the top. he was frightened and drove into the emergency lane with his lights on and ran out the car to you.

“hey! ma’am, step off the side of the bridge! now! do NOT jump!”

he placed his hand on his holstered gun. he called for backup.

“ma’am. step down, please.”

his voice suddenly sounded more soft and warm.
