QUOTE: "BORN FATALE IS THE FEMME" FROM THE NOVEL THE PRAXIS CONTINUUM (A.GLASS 2018)
"...You went rogue after New York five years ago. And the last I heard, on a gun running job, you didn't make out of Connecticut..." He then looks at the two men standing either side and then looking back at Fieke. "...Rumor had it you were killed. What happened?"

"...And I pulled the trigger."
