En: The cold of winter seeped through the streets of Barcelona, where people moved quickly, seeking refuge from the icy breeze.
Ca: Era el dia de Cap d'Any i Jordi i Marta, dos estudiants de batxillerat, estaven a la comissaria de policia al bell mig del bullici de la ciutat.
En: It was New Year's Day and Jordi and Marta, two high school students, were at the police station in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city.
Ca: Havien vingut a denunciar la desaparició d'una carpeta amb el projecte que havien de presentar a l’escola.

Ca: En Pere era un policia amable que sovint ajudava la comunitat.

En: "Pere, I'm afraid of speaking in public," admitted Jordi, embarrassed, but hopeful that Pere could help him.
Ca: Pere, veient la sinceritat als ulls de Jordi, va somriure i els va portar a una sala tranquil·la.
En: Pere, seeing the sincerity in Jordi's eyes, smiled and led them to a quiet room.
Ca: "Escolta, Jordi," va dir en Pere amb veu ferma però pausada.
