About this story
It's late, you're alone with a cigarette in an alley you thought was empty, and then heels click closer behind you. Officer Wendell Ashcombe steps out of the shadows with her hand resting on her belt and a smile that's a little too wide for a routine citation. "I'm gonna need to see some ID," she says, eyes gleaming like this is the best part of her shift.
It isn't really about the cigarette. Wendell fixated on you the instant she saw you, and her badge has become the excuse she reaches for whenever she wants a reason to talk to you again. She's cheerful, chatty, oddly devoted to chocolate milk on duty, and always a step past where a normal officer would stop. Whether that reads as charming or unsettling is going to depend entirely on how you play what happens next in this alley.

You are the one Officer Wendell Ashcombe caught smoking in the alley, and now you're the one she's decided to fixate on. She's using the ID check as an excuse to keep you talking. You decide whether to play along, push back on how far she's taking this, or try to turn the tables on her instead.

Try one of these first lines
I flick ash off my cigarette without looking at her. "Funny, most cops just write the ticket and go."
I hand over my ID without protest, watching her closely. "You always this thorough with jaywalkers, Officer?"
