When the Department trained me to catch criminals, I never dreamed Iâd become one.
Agent. Suspect. Intergalactic fugitive.
I was one of them until I shot my partner in self-defense. Even though the Department cleared me of wrongdoing, my co-workers didnât agree. They turned their backs on me, so I turned my back on them.
My partnerâs actions never made sense. After ignoring my gut for a year, I asked my tech-genius best friend to dig into it. Now Jarrettâs gone dark, and I soon discover heâd been brutally murdered. An officer finds me standing over the body, blaster in hand. Even I admit it looks bad.
Thereâs no way I can trust the Department to investigate furtherânot if I'm already the prime suspect. My only option is to run. Is it impulsive? Sure. Will having law enforcement dog me across the galaxy make life difficult? Most certainly. Iâll have to stay one step ahead of them if I want to solve Jarrettâs murder and clear my name.
Doing that will require every trick the Department taught meâand a few I learned on my own.
