“There are good men, amazing men, exceptional males out there, but too many.. They seek to erase us from existence. To force us to disappear within our communities.

“In the past, I've worried about my job's toll on me. I don't know how to compartmentalize; I don't have a trained detective's battle-hardened worldview. From the very beginning, I gravitated toward mission persons because I know I'm not cut out for murder and mayhem. Yet lately, too many of my cases have turned bloody, and I have the nightmares to prove it.”
