Summary: He didn’t know many people who did things, was the thing. They was either in the game or they tried to stop people from playing it. And of course there were those who were played.

Summary: Why his wife felt the need to move the family up here was beyond him. And oh, he had sure as fuck agreed, needed to get away from the department that still associated him with McNulty’s fuckup, but this- this was too much.

At this rate I'm never gonna get any work done.
