Date: 2007-06-15 05:27 pm (UTC)You're no stranger to the seamy side of life. You've seen and heard it all, maybe even done a little if the situation called for it. However, you have your code and you're sticking to it.
You can be a loner, but if you happen to see Dashiell Hammet's Sam Spade or Raymond Chandler's Phillip Marlowe give 'em a nod.
