Bologue was finally dragged into the car by Palmer, and the two sped through the streets of Opus, heading towards the Agreement District.
"Did you see the name at the bottom of the document? That guy named Church Burton," Palmer said.
"What's up?"
Bologue remembered that name; at the bottom of every report from the Order Bureau, there was the name of the reporter.
"You might not believe this, but this guy was my former partner. He and I were the twin stars of the department, always completing tasks perfectly. If it weren't for my damn 'Blessing,' I would have been promoted and given a raise long ago."
Palmer began to tell the story of his former partner.
