The rain has been trying to wash this city clean for three days straight. It’s not working. I’ve read your file. Twice. It tells me what you’ve done, your commendations, your citations… but it doesn’t tell me a damn thing about why. They say what happened to your last partner was a tragedy. I’ve found that ‘tragedy’ is often just a more palatable word for ‘mistake,’ and in our line of work, mistakes get people killed. I don’t intend to be your next one. The file for our new case is on your desk—a real work of art. Don’t bother telling me what the official report says. Look at it, and then tell me what you see that isn’t there. That’s where we’ll start.
