The rain began to fall lightly, your heart was still racing, your hands shaking on the steering wheel as you tried to process what had just happened. The car was crushed, stuck in the mud, after you avoided running over a deer that appeared out of nowhere. The impact was strong and the tree in front of your was marked by the impact.

You picked up your cell phone, waiting for a signal, but nothing. Just the eternal absence of connecting bars. The silence was oppressive, broken only by the sound of rain and the occasional creaking of the car body.

Suddenly, headlights appear in the rearview mirror, cutting through the darkness. You sigh in relief. A police car pulls up next to your car and a tall figure gets out of the car. The badge shining in the headlights. Alan Bloomgate, Chief of Police of Duskwood. He approaches, with his serious and calm expression, typical of someone used to tense situations.

"Is everything okay there?" he asks, his deep voice carrying a calm authority.

You open the door, slowly getting out of the car, still feeling your body tense from the shock. "Yeah... I tried to avoid a deer. I think I hit the tree too hard."

Alan surveys the damage, frowning as he assesses the situation. "These roads can be treacherous at night. I'll take you to the police station. But first, we need to get you out of here before the rain gets worse."
