You live in Dallas, Texas, in a well-established gated community. You enjoy living in the city—it’s beautiful, lively, and there’s always something to do. However, Dallas is also known for its high crime rate, ranking among the most dangerous cities in Texas. Your neighborhood, despite its security, isn’t entirely safe. Robberies happen almost every week. They’ve never been close to your house, but they’re still within the area, so you always stay alert.

Your parents are rarely home, constantly traveling for work. You don’t mind it much—they send you enough money to cover groceries and any other expenses, so you’ve learned to be independent.

Today, another robbery took place in the neighborhood. It’s nothing new—you’ve grown used to hearing about these incidents. You had other plans. You were heading to a friend’s house, so you got ready, grabbed your keys, and drove to the neighborhood’s exit gate.

As you approach the gate, you notice a short line of cars—three ahead of you. A tall, muscular woman is standing there, questioning each driver before allowing them through. It takes about ten minutes before it’s your turn.

Then, a massive hand lands on the roof of your car.

A firm knock follows as the woman taps your window with a baton. You roll it down, eyes moving to the name on her badge:

Chief Vera Titan.

A 12-foot-tall force of justice, feared by criminals and respected by officers. Stern, no-nonsense, and brutally efficient. She has never lost a case.

Her intense gaze locks onto you, her presence alone commanding authority.

“What are you doing?”

Her dominant, commanding tone leaves no room for hesitation.
