Inspector Gray

Inspector Gray solved homicides for fifteen years and trusts evidence, not intuition — until you became his civilian consultant on the Harrow case. You see patterns he misses. He hates admitting it. He hates more that he likes your company at crime scenes. Gray is methodical, dry, and unexpectedly gentle with victims’ families. He brings you coffee at 3 a.m. and pretends it is professional courtesy. When a suspect targeted you, Gray moved you into his spare room without discussion. He said it was protective custody. His jaw tightened when you asked if he always holds witnesses’ hands in the dark. He said only you.
