    Summary

    Hoffman was weird. He was more than weird.

    Strahm knew he was weird and he was going to get off his ass and prove it.

    The knife he’d been jimmying around the edges of Hoffman’s apartment window jiggled a few more times and Peter prayed that it wouldn’t snap, he’d broken his last good knife not by attempting to break and enter another police officer’s place but by trying to pry a stone out of the sole of his shoe. The tip had broken clean off and the stone had remained lodged firmly in the rivets of the rubber.

    It hadn’t been the worst thing to happen that day though. That would have been the biro pen sticking out the front of Strahm’s trachea.

    ~~~

    Strahm breaks into Hoffman's apartment. Hoffman breaks into Strahm's. Everything is perfectly balanced.

    Summary

    It is a well-known fact around town that Bob Ferguson doesn’t have a job, per se. And three months after the Battle of Baktan Cross, it becomes that time of the year when their resident retired revolutionary kook commits a new act of carefully planned, humiliating public disturbance to claim mental disability checks for his and Willa’s financial sake. In truth, it has become its own kind of annual, bring-your-kids, mostly family-friendly town custom where people bet what type of trick Bob “Rocket Man” Ferguson will come up with this time to appear crazy enough for another round of government money.

    Normally, it would be his daughter Willa who, for realism’ sake, would drive them both back home for rest after the pro forma booking and release from the police. However, her new role as part of the resistance demands her to help and transport some immigrants caught in a raid two counties over, and thus cannot pick her father up.

    Kindly, Sensei Sergio decides to lend a hand.

    Summary

    Adam's eyes met the man's in a fleeting moment, and stayed fixed there, magnetized.

    He was tall, and he wore an expensive-looking coat. His eyes were a deep, crystal blue, wrinkled lightly at the corners as if someone had just told him a joke. They held Adam's gaze with a curiosity that verged on recognition. His mouth was quizzical, on a knife's edge of smiling. Adam felt suddenly as if all the breath had been knocked out of him.
    ---
    Adam Faulkner-Stanheight knew his own worth- that is to say, little-to-none. His girlfriend? Frustrated with him for wasting his life. His job? A complete dead end, working retail in December. His photography? Just a hobby, and one he was afraid to really pursue for fear of failing.

    And then Dr. Lawrence Gordon walked into his life, sending his world into a tailspin with his understanding smile, soft voice, incisive words, and the kindest eyes Adam had ever seen.

    What Adam thought would be one more mindnumbing holiday shift brought a chance encounter that would change his life- for better or for worse.
