It started as a joke during lockdown. He’d queue up a ten-hour loop of “Liberty City Police Dispatch” on YouTube—the scratchy, clipped radio calls: “Unit requested at the docks, possible stolen vehicles.” “Suspect is armed and… unstable.” The hollow click of a car door. The distant, echoing pop of a 9mm.
He picked up his own phone. It was dead. But the ringing continued.
