Michael Weston is recently promoted, becoming the youngest head of a branch of secret agents. His lover of two years, Timothy Miller, has finally moved in with him and they both work for the same organization. At the moment, Michael’s satisfied with his wonderful life. The first case he has to personally deal with is a mysterious murder, but Michael can’t make heads or tails of it. All the clues lead to dead ends. It certainly doesn’t help when he discovers his high school bully and crush Ian Davis is somehow involved. Things get worse when Ian confesses to harboring years of infatuation for Michael, which pisses Timothy off. Meanwhile, the number of casualties in the murder case keeps increasing. Will the three men be able to find a mutually satisfying solution? And can Michael solve the murders before someone else is killed?

“Don’t worry, Mike. We’ve been chatting with Terrence.” Jessica gestured toward his assistant. “Now, update, please. The e-mails have been great, but Ryan and I still need your verbal report once in a while.”


Mike quickly updated his two mentors, ending it by informing them of this abrupt request for a meeting with Joshua Watson.


“Mike, Jessica and I know of your combat skills, but I think I also speak for Jessica here that meeting with a potential suspect alone in your meeting room is a bad idea.”


“Ryan, I—” Mike began, but Jessica cut him off.
