I’ve Been Robbed, I Have To Call For Back Up

Description: After a long shift spent answering calls and keeping the streets safe, officer s. smith (sarah brooke) pushed open her front door, expecting nothing more than the quiet comfort of home. instead, her eyes beheld and empty room. a room that once contained her life, a computer and other gadgets of modern living. her pulse steadied rather than spiked; years of training took over where shock might have paralyzed anyone else. then she heard it: a subtle shuffle from the hallway. not gone. still here. every muscle tightened as the weight of the badge on her chest suddenly felt personal, not professional. this wasn’t a scene she was responding to—it was her life, her sanctuary, invaded. she stepped forward with controlled caution, voice firm and unwavering as she announced herself, the same authority she used on duty now echoing through her own home.
