Summary
It's 2007 and the story shifts. Robert Robertson flees his childhood home and follows Elliot Connors.
The lessons he learns are cruel and put him on a path he was never meant to take. It's a slow downward spiral to become the man he is today: Red Mongrel, wanted fugitive, criminal and vigilante.
He hopes for a change when Shroud escapes after twelve years of prison, and gets more than he bargained for. Maybe fate is stronger after all.Bookmarked by nzzl

Summary
The thing is, these so-called “Heroes for Hire” the SDN sends out are not like him. They are government polished, rule-bound, wrapped up in red tape and shiny press briefings. They operate like glorified cops, all clean reports and legal backing. He, on the other hand, is an independent contractor in the loosest sense. An indie hero, they call it. Not bound to protocol. Not recognised either.
He works beside detectives, not for them. He goes into the places no one else wants to go, digs through the filth others won’t touch. He finds the evidence that won’t stand up in court but still tells the truth. And when it’s over, his name never makes it into the case file. The report just reads “uncredited assistance.”

Summary
Courtney studies him like she’s searching for something, an exit, maybe, or a permission.
She tucks his hair away from his eyes, drags her thumb lightly across his lower lip, still red and shining from her kiss. There’s something almost painfully sincere in her expression now, her brows knitting just slightly as she looks at him.
Then she asks:
“Do you want to run away with me?”
or, the roadtrip au no one asked for

Summary
At some point, Robert paused in the dark, looking around despite the fact that the level of light had not changed. No- but the wind had died down, and he realized with a frown that he could not hear anything of the forest any longer. There were no insects, no frogs or birds. It was so silent, he thought for a moment he could hear his own heartbeat.
The hair on Robert’s neck stood on end, his arms covered in goosebumps. He froze, looking around. If there was anything he knew, it was that this was the sign of a predator. When he turned, he thought he could see a shadow moving within the night.
But he found that he wasn’t afraid.
