Summary: The android revolution had been won, but its leader was lost. Captain David Allen and his team did everything they could to keep Detroit from falling apart after the assassination at Hart Plaza. They'd seen the early warning signs of deviancy during the war, and prepared themselves for what it would turn into. They warned everyone else to do the same, back then. No one wanted to listen.
He'd bet they wished they had, and they were 10 years too late.

Summary: Detective Reed was known by many names back when he ran with the worst of Detroit, underground and undercover. Unlike the rookies fresh off desk duty, he knew exactly what the city was like after dark. So when the EMP detonated, and the lights went out, "Gavin Reed" was on a short list of names enlisted in a new DPD-FBI joint task force. Also on that list?

Final Note:
While you're waiting for these to get planned and posted, feel free to leave me a comment on any of my other works. They may not be the original stories that so many of you have encouraged me to write, but I'm confident they'll read like one. I've learned a lot over the years, and I'm excited to put those lessons to good use when I pick up where I left off - on all accounts.
