description: Reports to write forms to fill coffee to drink leads to run down. Guss life had been a tedium and boredom hed grown comfortable with. One that he sought out after hed come back from his tour of duty. That was before Melody a contractor more or less blew his life up as if it were a building packed full of c4. Then pranced around the ashes of it like it was the end of the world and she was conjuring up the end times herself. All while breaking in a rookie by the name of Vanessa into the PID. A gung-ho and eager young detective looking to prove herself. Then commandeering and recruiting a cleaning lady that turned out to be an Elven Dryad Sorceress who viewed killing people as little more than emptying the trash can. Gus had lived through it though. Made it work for him and had come out of it without too many new scars. An adventure that he hadnt wanted any part of that involved the Fed being blowed up a stadium full of Paras all going into a feral rage and breaking off a plot hatched by what felt like an organization that rivaled the Fed. Which apparently was all in a days work right up until they fired you for doing that work because you made the brass look bad. Without a job more people relying on him than ever and no direction Gus is going to have to put on his big boy pants and figure something out. And soon. Its a good thing that hes a Boogieman. Because being an apex predator that made the entirety of the Paranormal world fear him was something he could fall back on. He could lean into it and make it work for him. Hed done it before when he was in the military. Made a name for himself out there in the bloody desert. He was The Hunter. A name that the Elven mothers now used to instill fear into misbehaving children. A name that grown men and women wouldnt discuss in polite company. Except despite Guss best intentions to get back to his stable non-life hes going to get thrown right back into the fray. Whether he likes it or not hes about to be handed a new problem thats going to mess up what little remained of his life. Unfortunately his past was going to catch up to him and meet up with his future.
