I announced my retirement, and the whole SWAT team erupted in celebration. They popped champagne, hoisted me onto their shoulders, cheering. Only one person wasn' t celebrating: Ethan, my rising star colleague, pushing through the crowd, face pale, eyes desperate. He was searching for me. The media swarmed, asking how he felt about "Prophet Cop" Alex retiring. He forced a smile, "Captain Alex is a legend. We'll all miss him. He taught me everything I know." Lies. All of it. Because this wasn't the first time. In my previous life, a decorated SWAT leader, my career was flawless until Ethan, with his "danger prediction," arrived. He' d sense hidden bombs, get hunches about suspects' locations, always right. He became the "Prophet Cop." I became the joke. The team mocked me; the public called me incompetent. My fiancée, Sarah, also my second-in-command, had stopped me on our final mission. "Alex, wait! Ethan says it's too dangerous for you to go first." As I hesitated, she shoved me. I tumbled over the cliff edge, the last thing I saw was her cold face, standing beside Ethan. They didn't save me. Then, darkness. And I woke up in my own bed, phone buzzing with a message about a hostage rescue operation. The same day. The day I fell. I had a second chance. I remembered this day, the beginning of the end, when Ethan publicly overshadowed me. I wouldn't let it happen again. "Gear up," I ordered. "We're changing the route." But as we screeched to a halt, the warehouse was already surrounded. By the Narcotics Unit. And standing there, cuffing the last suspects, was Ethan. "What the hell?" Miller muttered. "How did they get here so fast?" I remembered this exact scene: We arrived late, a hostage died, and I was blamed. Sarah accused me of incompetence, Director Thompson, my mentor, backed her. My career was ruined. I stood there, watching Ethan soak up the glory, and made a vow. This time, history would not repeat itself.

Introduction

I announced my retirement, and the whole SWAT team erupted in celebration.

They popped champagne, hoisted me onto their shoulders, cheering.

Only one person wasn' t celebrating: Ethan, my rising star colleague, pushing through the crowd, face pale, eyes desperate.

He was searching for me.

The media swarmed, asking how he felt about "Prophet Cop" Alex retiring.

He forced a smile, "Captain Alex is a legend. We'll all miss him. He taught me everything I know."

Lies. All of it.

Because this wasn't the first time.

In my previous life, a decorated SWAT leader, my career was flawless until Ethan, with his "danger prediction," arrived.

He' d sense hidden bombs, get hunches about suspects' locations, always right.

He became the "Prophet Cop." I became the joke.

The team mocked me; the public called me incompetent.

My fiancée, Sarah, also my second-in-command, had stopped me on our final mission.

"Alex, wait! Ethan says it's too dangerous for you to go first."

As I hesitated, she shoved me.

I tumbled over the cliff edge, the last thing I saw was her cold face, standing beside Ethan.

They didn't save me.

Then, darkness.

And I woke up in my own bed, phone buzzing with a message about a hostage rescue operation.

The same day. The day I fell.

I had a second chance.

I remembered this day, the beginning of the end, when Ethan publicly overshadowed me.

I wouldn't let it happen again.

"Gear up," I ordered. "We're changing the route."

But as we screeched to a halt, the warehouse was already surrounded.

By the Narcotics Unit.

And standing there, cuffing the last suspects, was Ethan.

"What the hell?" Miller muttered. "How did they get here so fast?"

I remembered this exact scene: We arrived late, a hostage died, and I was blamed.

Sarah accused me of incompetence, Director Thompson, my mentor, backed her. My career was ruined.

I stood there, watching Ethan soak up the glory, and made a vow.

This time, history would not repeat itself.
