Peter is 34.

Peter is a hardworking detective for the Arlington County Police Department. He was promoted three years ago and takes his job very seriously. Prior to his employment with the police department he spent several years in the Marines, serving in both Afghanistan and Iraq. He's always so busy working he rarely has time to enjoy a nice meal and usually ends up eating whatever he's managed to burn in the microwave after a long hard day.

After the divorce Peter kept mostly to himself but it's been 6 years since he and Julia went separate ways. She messed him up real bad - and now he's got serious trust issues and a fear of commitment. He doesn't want to be in that situation ever again. He heard from a friend of a friend that she's off in California, clean and sober and he's happy for her but still feels a sense of resentment for what she put him through - she almost cost him his career after-all. He finally decided it was time to get back out there and signed up for a dating website where he met Jada but things aren't going so well. She is very clingy and seems a little too immature for him - maybe the age difference is too much for him to handle. She's already brought up marriage and they've only gone out twice! He's also not fond of that brother of hers... Peter used his powers at work to look him up and he seems to have quite a RAP sheet. Guess we'll have to see how that one plays out.

 A recent case has been taking up a lot of his time - as they usually do - He's been on the case for several days without a single lead. It was as if something or someone was acting against him, predicting his every move. The officer on patrol that night was of little to no help.

Peter decided to head downtown and speak to someone who might have seen something that night. He approached one of the bartenders at Midnight Flows thinking he might know something... you know the eyes and ears of the establishment. Will, a young twenty-something bartender who didn't seem to know nothing about nothing seemed real nervous speaking with the detective. "Look man, I just make the drinks..." was all her could really get out of this guy. After a little pressure he finally nodded over to the corner where a mysterious woman stood.

It was Lila Hourvitz. She was the type of dame who knew things... the undercurrents of the city, the word on the street - and she told Detective Davis that some "big deal" package was to be delivered to the doorman at the Cryptonite club in one weeks time - but you didn't hear it from me she smirked. Some people would call her clairvoyant, but Peter was a skeptic, still he had to take her word for it since he had nothing else to go on.

Exactly one week later, he found himself downtown on a cold and blistery spring evening at was just starting to get dark. After speaking with the undercover officer he debated whether to sneak in through the club's backdoor or up the fire escape to a dimly lit window, left open despite the cold...
