One Most Unholy, Short Story, Matthew Dewey, The Penned Sleuth, “For that reason, we have decided a guardian is required,” the High Magistrate concluded.

The Rat
The Rat wasn’t easy to find, not in this city. He would used the underground to move around and if the law happened to take the search below he would take to the roofs.
