    Summary

    Some little scene sketches from early in Marty and Rust's partnership, and parts of the 1995 investigation. Not in chronological order.

     

    In Louisiana Rust creates his own structure. His work is necessary and not overtly cruel to the larger human organism of which he is a part. He is entitled to the things that allow him to do the work: mattress, cigarettes, books, shoes.

    He is not entitled to Marty but has ended up with him anyway. This will backfire.

    Summary

    Credence had first noticed him coming out of an alley -- noticed because it had just been a little odd. Men like him didn't come out of alleys. They walked down the streets with their shoulders back and their boots shined fit to be a mirror. They stepped out of glinting new cars and acted like they owned the streets they drove down. They didn't move like Graves did.

    They never noticed Credence.

    Summary

    Their introduction had been one embroidered with physical affirmations. Officer Graves sitting across from him, strong hand curling around his neck, promising without words he’d take care of him.
