Instead of letting go of the past, I lit a match and followed the smoke. In a city where the law wears a crooked smile and justice comes in shadows, one agent dares to chase the truth buried beneath the ash. After a failed raid exposes more than bullets and bodies, the hunt begins-not just for a fugitive, but for what died the day her mentor did. Loyalties blur. Lies feel like truths. And the one man she shouldn't trust might be the only one who understands her. This is the story of Eileen "Chapman" O'Sullivan-told through your eyes. Reader x Mordecai Heller | Lackadaisy Fanfic | Noir | Slow Burn | Moral Dissonance Reminder: This is AU, credit me if you want some inspiration. _________________________________ Update: My old readers who have read this before, for your information, the chapters here have been revised.
