Note: For the fabulously patient elebridith, who does enjoy bribing me. Follows Trouble is a Trusted Friend... There is an overarching plot, and some things will make more sense having read that first. But I'm structuring each story to mostly be able to stand alone. Many thanks to neierathima and lucdarling for the read throughs and kicks in the ass. First person, Kane POV.

Summary: An associate of Hutton's winds up dead, and Kane is called in to investigate. But Kane isn't the only one in town who wants to know what's what, and as usual, there's nothing simple about it.
