Summary
[Mickey doesn’t think much of the other WSO perched off to the side. Bob’s going to get eaten alive, that much is obvious. Mickey can feel the uncertainty rolling off of him. You need to be solid to get this job done, and yet somehow there’s this guy. Practically invisible and seemingly content to be so. Maybe there was a clerical error.]

Summary
After a mission gone awry, Ghost is forced to take it slow. Assigned to hunt down a notorious German smuggler, whose empire seems to have endlessly deep roots. Barred from action, in a case that brings his career and life to an abrupt halt, he is only insulted further by being made to work alongside the long-time competitor fraction KorTac. As he is slowly stripped from all of what makes him him, he is forced to ponder on who he is, his role within this world, and who he wishes he were instead. He comes to learn quite quickly that he cannot outrun his problems forever, as a lifetime of regret and hurt come crashing down around him like an unstable house of cards.
And at his all-time low, in personal and professional life alike, he meets König too. Stuck in the same position as him, the KorTac Operator gets under his skin and makes him throw aboard all his rules. As they dwell together in those blue hours, stuck between waking and sleep, he finds and unlikely companion, navigating the same pathway.
