The sparkling jewel of the Hidden Gem, City M's most renowned brothel, Misaki "Aki" Itou is living the good life. He's not subjected to torture for his psi abilities, he has a roof over his head, food to eat, and all the sparkly shoes he could dream about. He also has one particular regular he can't get enough of, Shane McNaughton, even if Shane occasionally asks for Aki's help on a case. Shane is a cop specializing in missing persons. He's good at finding people, not just because of his years as a seasoned detective, but because he survived the Third World War and resulting plague with a few supernatural abilities himself. Mutated by the virus that wiped out two thirds of the world's population, Shane no longer considers himself human. Which is why he limits his visits to a very breakable psi companion when not working a case, no matter how much he might want Aki. When a high ranking official's daughter goes missing and feared dead, Shane has no choice but to ask Aki to use his abilities to help him track down the kidnapper. The case opens a door to a past Aki thought he had escaped. Will Shane's love be enough to save them all when something dark is awakened inside of Aki? Note: Re-edited, but content still the same. Short fiction added to the end.
