Chapter 1

The shuffling of paper felt relaxing in the sunny afternoon. I blinked the sudden sleepiness away and sipped from my coffee for reinforcements.

It seems our caseload is getting smaller, boss, DeMarco commented without lifting his eyes from the screen of his laptop.

I guess the momentum is wearing off. You know, you were once famous, now you’re just regular, I said and surprised myself with the fact that I wasn’t entirely joking.

Didn’t we have that woman the other day? Give me a second. Here, Dylan intervened, offering Smith what looked like an empty file.

Oh, this one. Yeah, I remember. On the bright side, with our waning fame the crazy ones wane as well.
