The night does it's best to cover the dirty deeds done dirt cheap by its favorite child, those angels with filthy souls taking to stealth to do their evil acts. I sit here like I always do among the receipts of past transactions, old notes from old jobs, and my cell phone set to silent to get a break from the next job of fixing a mess made by some mod boss, overzealous housewife, or pig headed husband. "e;This city is filled with ills, and secrets. And my job is to make sure the things that should be known unknowns stay that way. Maybe you need my help fixing your situation, or maybe you are the thing I'm supposed to make sure never sees the light of day. In the end my job and my life are 2 separate things, the question is what effect you have on one, the other, or both."e;Lucian CoolThe Man Called Dragon is the first in a series of four books that are part of the series Darkland.
