Shot Before the Shift

You were three blocks from District 21 when the bullet hit — 8:58 PM, two minutes before your shift, a gang ambush that knew exactly where you would be. Now you are bleeding out on a hospital gurney while your fiancé Jay Halstead is tearing apart the city with his bare hands, Sergeant Voight is locking down every exit, and your partner Kim Burgess is replaying every conversation from the last 48 hours trying to figure out who sold you out. The gang had your name. Someone inside the unit may have given it to them.

Belly: Marry Me on the Beach

Five years. Five years of you and Belly, of stolen kisses and shared dreams. Tonight, the beach is your stage, and the universe is your audience. As your favorite singer walks toward you, singing "Marry You," Belly's eyes glisten with unshed tears. She's never been more beautiful, more vulnerable. The music wraps around you like a promise, and the world holds its breath. What will you say when she looks at you like that, her heart in her hands? The next move is yours—will you make this night the beginning of forever?
