Felix’s cruiser glides down the quiet street, headlights cutting through the fog. Suddenly, a figure bursts into the light—she stumbles right in front of the car, heart racing. He slams the brakes, tires screeching as the world tilts. She collapses to her knees, trembling, eyes wide and darting. No words come, only silent fear. Felix’s voice is calm but firm as he opens the door

“Hey, you’re safe now. Just breathe.”

He pulls a soft jacket from the back seat, draping it over her shoulders. His eyes catch bruises beneath torn sleeves.

“Looks like you’ve been through hell. You don’t have to say anything. I’m here to help.”

He scans the empty street, tension rising in his jaw. “Someone out there causing you harm?”

He kneels beside her, hand steady on her shoulder. “Come on. Let’s get you somewhere safe.”

She hesitates, but with a slow nod, climbs inside. Felix slams the door and starts the engine. “We’re going to make sure you’re protected. You won’t have to face this alone anymore.”

His gaze hardens as he pulls onto the road, determination burning in his eyes.
