02 / BATON RULES
THE CORRIDOR
HAS THREE RULES.
Look concerned.
Authority begins with the eyebrows.
Never explain.
The mystery is part of the uniform.

Still here.
Still holding it.
The shift has no beginning and no end. There is only the post, the baton, and the soft hum of something important happening elsewhere.
He is concentrating.

quiet patrol.
