The call came in just after 8 p.m.
Neighbors in a small apartment complex had reported shouting, crashing noises, and what sounded like furniture being thrown around. By the time Marcus and his partner, Darnell, arrived on the scene, however, everything appeared calm.
Too calm.
The apartment door opened after a brief knock.
A woman in her mid-thirties stood there.
Her name was Camille.
She looked tired, but not frightened.
