   Summary

   This fic takes place during the events of Feet of Clay. The book left me with a lot of questions and I was particularly curious about Drumknott’s perspective.

   We all know Commander Vimes is more than capable of dealing with the Assassins’ Guild and that he feels the most alive when someone is trying to kill him. But after I played with a handful of ideas for this fic and struggled and almost abandoned it, I wondered if Drumknott might see things a little differently…
