Looks like I really will need a new place to stay. I wonder how the gracious landlords of the Narrows feel about renting to a dead man.

When I was in school they had a speaker, some veteran cop. He said a great deal about law, order, all the typical lecture topics. Experiences, working in a city some thought was on it's last leg. Said that it wasn't about being good and bad, it wasn't even about making people think you were right - it was about making sure they could never say you were wrong. Said something about justice never being blind, she saw everyone surely enough.

Stout guy, Mediterranean kind of look. I remember working with him those early years, having drinks with the guy, getting him fired on suspicion of money laundering. It felt like a loss at the time. I would have preferred to have him behind bars.

I still don't know what he was trying to say that day. I always meant to ask him what happens if justice isn't blind.
