Requiem for a Criminal Investigator By: Sean Walton As the second bullet sped by his head, Duke tried hard to push himself further into the adjacent doorway of the darkened hallway. The apartment first floor stank of urine and burned his nostrils as he reflected on his recent selection as a member of the elite Warrant Squad.
