WHY DO YOU DESERVE TO LIVE?

I'M ALREADY CONDUCTING THIS INVESTIGATION

*OFF THE BOOKS" SO A LITTLE BREAKING AND ENTERING WON'T

HAUNT

MY CONSCIENCE.

I'M ACTING ON

FAITH.

BLURRING THE LINES OF THE LAW TO SEEK JUSTICE SEEMS FITTING AT THIS POINT.

FAITH THAT THE GOOD DOCTOR WILL UNDERSTAND. SHE KNOWS HOW IMPORTANT THIS INFORMATION IS.

DOCTOR PRICE WON'T REPORT A BREAK-IN TODAY. SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT RIGHT AND WRONG AREN'T

BLACK AND WHITE.

SHE KNOWS THAT IT'S THE LAST FLICKER OF HOPE TO FIND CYNDI.

AND

BLURRING THE LINES

IS

MY LAST HOPE OF FINDING CLARITY.

HEY,

YOU!

YOU CAN'T BE IN HERE!
