The Judges of Justice Mel Leonard

Cole Asher has spent twelve years as a CSIS Intelligence Officer, until today. Today, he was dismissed for hitting a superior officer whom he suspected of being a double agent. It is now 10:30 a.m. Wednesday June 16, 2004, he is thirty three years old, has no pension to look forward to and no skills other than that of an investigator and the ability to kill another human being in seconds without remorse, thus his options for making a living are few. To make matters worse he has just been stopped by the police and given a $100.00 ticket for speeding. He feels that the size of the fine is unjust. After all he hasn't hurt anyone. As he drives away from the stop he thinks about how murderers are given more forgiveness than what he just received and his anger almost overwhelms him. Had he not received that speeding ticket he might not have become the man this story is about.
