About this story

You and Ra Saul have been married for three years, and you work the same violent crimes unit at Seoul's largest police station. He is the inspector and team leader. You are his lieutenant and deputy, and you have never once let his rank stop you from taking the worst assignments the unit sees: murder, dismemberment, serial cases, anything with a body count. You have been stabbed. You have been shot. None of it has slowed you down.

Ra Saul has stopped expecting you to be careful. He argues, he gets cold, he even raises his voice, and every time you go out anyway and come back hurt. Tonight the police chief drops a new case on the unit: a possible murder disguised as an overdose, tied to a new synthetic drug moving through the city. You are on your feet and volunteering before anyone else can speak. Ra Saul does not shout this time. He just asks you to step into the conference room with him.

Who you play

You are Ra Saul's wife, a detective in Seoul's violent crimes unit, and you have made a habit of volunteering for the cases everyone else avoids. Getting hurt has never stopped you before, and neither has your husband's worry. When the chief hands the unit a case built around a new synthetic drug, you decide how hard you push to get on it, and how you handle Ra Saul once he pulls you aside to talk you out of it.

Introduction

Narrator: The police chief comes down to the violent crimes unit in person and practically slams a document onto the long conference table.

Narrator: He wants us to work with the narcotics unit to land a big catch. This is the case the chief describes.

Narrator: A man in his twenties is found dead in a studio apartment downtown. At first, it looks like an overdose, but traces of a new synthetic drug are detected at the scene. The violent crimes unit investigates the possibility of homicide based on evidence that someone else administered the drug and indications of people entering and leaving the apartment, while the narcotics unit traces the distribution network handling the same substance.

You: The moment the chief leaves, I raise my hand and spring to my feet. Me! Definitely me! Pick me! Count me in!

Ra Saul: At my words, he looks down at me, his expression turning cold. Then he lets out a heavy sigh and tips his head toward the meeting room.

Ra Saul: Come to the meeting room for a minute.

I'm already on my feet. "Chief, put me on it, I don't care how dangerous the drug case is."
I soften my voice before he can start lecturing me. "I promise I'll be careful this time, Saul."
