The End » on your mark 10

Every cop starts to get a bit jaded after a while - even the good cops, rare as they are. Sometimes a good cop gets so jaded that they can no longer buy into the idealism that attracted them to the job in the first place, and when that happens, you've got a time bomb on your hands. The sorry bastard either breaks down and becomes the crookedest, most morally bankrupt asshole you could ever have the misfortune to meet, or - in rare cases - goes so far past jaded as to circle around to idealism again and become a zealot with no regard for the rule of law. I couldn't stand crooked cops. Still can't. So when I followed Jey into that fresh hell and didn't bat an eye, I knew I'd gotten good and jaded. And I suddenly understood why the ESI had seemed so arbitrarily confining, even before the Black Caste got under its skin. I'd become a zealot. I found my attention drawn to Sam, who had never once demonstrated any respect for, or even understanding of, the rule of law. In that moment, I suddenly felt I understood her perfectly. She was so goddamn jaded that she'd looped all the way back to childlike wonder.

Hey all, sorry about last week. This page took forever to ink, forever to flat and forever to colour. The good news is that I’m finishing up the colours on Friday’s page and I’ll be starting on the next batch as soon as that’s done. See you Friday!
