"Keep them pinned down. I'll call for backup," Detective Cruz instructed, her voice steady despite the chaos around us.

As reinforcements arrived, we worked together to subdue Mr. Salud's associates and bring them into custody.
"It's over," Detective Cruz said, her voice filled with satisfaction as we escorted the suspects out of the building.
"But our work isn't done yet," I replied, knowing that there were still loose ends to tie up.

Back at the precinct, Detective Cruz and I debriefed with the team, discussing our next steps.
"We need to review the evidence we've gathered and see if there are any leads we may have missed," Detective Cruz suggested.
"I'll coordinate with the forensics team to ensure every piece of evidence is thoroughly analyzed," I replied, determined to leave no stone unturned.
