True, I drank too much, hated everybody, almost, but I was a damned good cop on the job. Then, I found a murder that did not exist. Then another. It took me to places I have never considered. It has taught me things I should have learned at my mother’s knee. It sent me on a trip so close to hell that I felt the heat. And I lived. I loved… and I sobered up.- Ally Whitedove
