I toyed with the idea of Flickerflame going directly to the law about this---become an agent undercover, as it were. But it just wasn't....him. He doesn't play well with authority figures. But Frost, with his numerous connections, has to have a substantial number of cops, feds, etc. on the take for him to operate. More on Frost's connections, and how they play into Flicker's plans, later.
I like that second panel. It's a really good picture of Lafferty emerging from the fireball...
Heidi Gulliver's fate will have a direct relation on Flickerflame's relationship--or lack of same-- with the Next Level.
Second update in the space of a single week! Maybe late on a Saturday---but at least it's here.
I'll try not to leave Flicker neglected for so long again.
