I feel it. The Talon Group is making strides. Things are changing. I’m making an impact. My veins pump with happy healthy blood and I laugh out loud. Life is good. I’m back on 2nd Avenue, today’s assignment for The Talon Group now in motion. Disguise back in my gym bag, blue Buick back in step behind me. I love fooling people. I so do. Something tells me I’m going to have a hard time fooling this Sofia, the girl with the face I need to paint. Whose rocking body makes me hard, even now as I drive this crappy old car. Talked to my buddy, Goffman, about her over the weekend. Tough girl. Grew up right here in Wynwood. Dad used to work homicide. Gay brother owns a floral boutique on Collins. She was suspended for a week for being too rough with a suspect four years ago. Discharged her weapon twice. First time was at a standoff with about twenty other cops. Second time was injuring a man running from a domestic disturbance. Sent for a full psych evaluation two years ago for unknown reasons, then returned to duty after a six-week leave.
