The Series

Summary

Ray is letting his work take over his life after shooting a 14 year old in self-defense, and Welsh and Fraser are worried about him. When Fraser tries to push his friend to share what he's feeling, he discovers that the trust between partners is not as strong as he thought it was - on both of their sides. Ray also learns that you can't always run from secrets - they have a way of catching up with you...

Reactions and Reviews

Tense plot (realistically deals with rape and Ray's denial), good technical aspects, good layout, but it really looks like the author just got tired of writing the story. It's like the last chapters are just missing. The story is wrapped up with a few paragraphs when it should've been a few dozen to hundred pages. I really felt cheated by the ending, like I'd missed something important. It's a disappointing zine in that aspect. [1]
