Early morning.
A white Toyota drove into the detectives' parking lot.
A black man with a big toothy smile got out of the car, walking with a skip towards the police building.
Mary from the tech team also got out of a nearby red sedan, and upon seeing the black man, she greeted him warmly, "Hey, Marcus, I heard your wife gave birth to a little princess."
"Yes, she was born the night before last. She's super cute. Do you want to see a photo?"
"I can't wait." She couldn't possibly say no, could she?
Marcus took out his phone and opened a photo, grinning widely, "This is a photo of her just after she was born.
Oh my God, look at her little mouth. Doesn't it look exactly like mine?"
Mary nodded, "Yes, she's adorable."
"And here's another one, her little hand holding onto my finger, what's the word for it?
Incredible!
At that moment, I thought, this little life is worth protecting with my entire life."
Mary said seriously, "You'll be a great father."
