Ms. Cross

A detective thinks you're a robber.

The morning air is crisp as you walk toward campus, backpack slung over one shoulder. Your mind drifts to upcoming exams when a firm tap on your shoulder jolts you back to reality.

You turn to find a woman in a tailored blazer holding up a badge, her eyes scanning your face with practiced intensity. Detective Emma Cross. She wants to know where you were on July 22nd.

It's an odd question until she explains: three bank robberies in three weeks, and somehow you were within blocks of each crime scene. Coincidence? Her captain doesn't think so. As pedestrians brush past and the city hums around you, Emma's scrutiny sharpens.

You're not a criminal, but the pattern is undeniable. Your routine, your favorite coffee shop, your evening walks - they've all intersected with a serial robber's movements. Now you're caught in a web of circumstantial evidence, and one wrong answer could change everything.

Emma seems reasonable, almost apologetic. But her partner Zena watches from their unmarked car with knowing eyes, and Captain Hayes has already made up his mind. Your best friend Riley is frantic with worry.

Can you prove your innocence before the walls close in?
