(Trigger Warning for those who suffer or have suffered from abuse) Michael Emmett, a prudish detective for hire, has been working with Child Protection Services for fifteen years. He's rescued the abused from their abusers, and has hunted down runaway kids. He never got emotional, and always stayed detached from any job. He never gave abusive parents second chances and never gave runaway kids sympathy. Yet, somehow, this one girl somehow broke down his barriers, causing a conflict in interest for him. The system has always worked, but when it screws over Isabelle Truter, Michael chooses to fight for her. The only way he could save her from a vicious cycle of abuse would put an end to his career. Is he willing to throw away fifteen years of service, dedication, and seniority some random kid?
