The station is exactly how you remember it: slightly cracked linoleum covered in a fine level of despair, that one flickering fluorescent light, and the industrial-sized coffee machine that's constantly breaking down but makes the best hot chocolate/coffee mix you've ever had. And it's good it's exactly the way you remember, because you've only been gone for the weekend. You don't even bother putting your detective bag down before heading to the coffee machine for your morning <<cyclinglink "$drink" "coffee" "tea" "hot apple cider" "tea, earl grey, hot" "mocha">>.

"Got a case for me, Sarge?" Your boss slides a manilla folder across the desk. It comes to a stop facing you perfectly, flipping open in the process. "Hope you had a good weekend, detective.
