"You know people always say, God never makes mistakes but..." Ace begins, "You ever think of all the things God created, the high skies, the endless seas, the eternal gardens... You ever think of all the things he made, You were the one mistake that slipped through?" He tries his hardest to keep his voice monotone but his shaky demeanour gives him away "Ace..." "Like your life was written from the start for the purpose of destruction? Like you were made to be the villain to everyone else's hero?" He scoffs, not even being able to look me in the eyes. "People search this life forever, wondering what their reason to not give up is, what their motivation is. What their purpose in this scary world could possibly be-" His eyes finally find their way to mine. His rough hand taking its place on the soft spot of my cheek as his thumb rubs my jaw.

"I hear the familiar sound of footsteps approaching, and I don't need to look up to know it's my supervisor. He stops in the doorway, watching me shove the last file into the box on my desk. "Almost done with these boxes, huh?" His voice pitches up with an awkward cough to clear his guilty conscience. I look up to him with a blank gaze. It's all he deserves right now. He knows he messed up making me leave this late into the game. It's written all over his body language as he leans against the doorway, fiddling his gnarly fingers. He lets out a sigh, shifting his weight. " Listen, Kendrick... this isn't how I wanted things to play out." "Oh? Somehow I find that hard to believe." "Look, I didn't make the decision. It came down from higher ups. The cuts are everywhere, Kendrick. We had to trim the fat, and you got caught in the middle." He pauses, rubbing his forehead. "But there's a chance for you. They're transferring you to Philadelphia. They've got a case that's still open, one that needs someone who can handle the pressure. It's high-priority, Kendrick. It's a fresh start." "Philadelphia?" I scoff, pushing the last file into the box. 'I've heard about the department over there. Pretty messed up team.' "Yeah, I know the history. It's a mess. But this... this is different." He meets my eyes, his voice firm. "This case, Kendrick... it's high-profile. they've got a lot of suspicion on the guy already and they need someone who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty." I narrow my eyes. 'Who's the case about?' He hesitates for a moment, his gaze flickering before he speaks again so silent it may as well be a whisper... "Zephaniah Davis."
