Eyes and Ears Everywhere
In the background, Officers Davis and Johnson remained still, eyes trained on Melissa while the feed from her mic streamed clearly through their earpieces. Every word was noted, every inflection recorded. The bar’s noise faded into insignificance as they listened intently for any lead.
Davis gave a slight nod at one part of the conversation, while Johnson marked a line in his notepad. They both knew the power of silence, of tone, of implication. Every pause or hesitation from Steve might carry the clue they needed. They just had to stay alert—and let Melissa work.
