He was the Beast without the escape clause. Francis “Liv” Livingston was a beast. No matter if he wore a perfectly tailored suit or if he was in his tactical gear, people avoided looking at him.

When he was in danger, I did what needed to be done, and nothing was ever the same. When a serial killer makes Remy's old turf his hunting ground, how far will he go to protect the innocent?
