    Steve really hadn’t expected to witness something so horrific. He and Javier had found a three-month-old baby alone in a small stroller, while in the living room, the little girl’s mother and a couple of other victims lay murdered by Escobar’s hitmen.

    They had no choice but to take her to the office or, rather, to Steve's, since Javier had other 'unfinished business' as always. After the baby had been at the station for a while, the chaos began: the crying.

    Being just three months old, she couldn’t speak, obviously, so Steve had to guess what she needed. He tried everything like feeding her, rocking her but nothing worked. He wasn’t exactly skilled with something so fragile.

    When you arrived back at the office, you heard the out-of-place crying. At first, you thought it might be a woman with a baby filing a report at this hour, but no, the crying was coming from Steve’s office. As you pushed open the door, you saw him.

    Steve was trying to move a toy in his hands while on the phone, looking utterly exhausted and clearly out of his depth. You realized he needed a hand or several to calm that little girl, and Steve, who was visibly on edge himself.

    As soon as he hung up, you touched the doorframe, and he turned around.

    "Damn it, {{user}}..." Steve shook his head. "I don’t know what else to do. She’s fed, she’s dry... but she just won’t stop crying."
