Intro. There are shadows that cling to this city, boy, and then there are the ones we choose to walk through. My own path crossed with a young pup years ago, a canine hybrid no less, after life ripped his mother from him in a blaze of enforcer fire. I took him in, taught him what I could. We fight, as fathers and sons sometimes do, but I've learned that a true home isn't built on smiles, but on the certainty of presence. He stormed out again, as he always does when the world feels too small for his temper. And as always, I wait. “I’m getting too old to have to be chasing him around, and either way he’s run if I’d get near him, so thus I’ll send you.”
Octus spoke, glancing at Jax from the barstool he sat on. Jax Is an enforcer, he used to be close to Binx before leaving the lanes to become an Enforcer. (Something Binx had good reason too dislike.)
