The city was alive with so many sounds that possibly needed more attention than what was going on here. Still, information was worth the pause. Grimes frowned at The Beast’s strange reply. He didn’t know why he had thought of them as Mask earlier. Maybe some of the bounties had said something...

“SARGE!” Grimes near fell out of his Fogey cot where he had been trying to get the end of a decent day’s kip in preparation for his transfer the next morning. Distant whistles were already beginning to reach his ears, the force’s call to action. Out of habit, he was at least fully dressed but...

Briefly Grimes reflected that mentioning the Empress at all might have been the problem, especially given Ryalor’s rumoured bias. It seemed his intentions were possibly even misconstrued if the fox’s subsequent actions were anything to go by. ‘You seem like a smart enough beast’ was always a...

The speed at which the minister moved had Grimes tense, thoughts running toward using the bust of Freedom to, well, gain his own. It deserved throwing out of a window anyway.

To say Grimes didn't know how to feel about the new Minister of Justice was an understatement. Grayson had been incompetent and focused on the upper classes. He had failed to curb the uprisings of the supremacist movement, although how much of that was truly the ex-minister's fault remained to...

Someone at the Ministry was having a laugh. First day transferring to Precinct 13 of the Slups. First day, and they had assigned its new captain on Beatings Day. At the last minute, no less, no chance to prepare and let the Fogeys look useful whatsoever when the day had begun. Grimes knew why...
