A veteran of the Vietnam War, Jake Matheson is no stranger to violence, and SWAT was a perfect fit. He never expected to get PTSD while at home. But he can't explain it any other way. Men just don't keep walking when you punch him full of half a clip from your M-16 and they don't flip over armored vans with one hand and fling them across the alley. And the guy called him a Ventrue pawn. What the hell does that mean? It means something, Jake just doesn't know what...yet.
