Candyman

A Story from The Grid

2013

How does the dark half of a split personality win the girl? It's Madness. You don't know I exist. Don't feel bad. No one knows I exist. Except him and he's an asshole. Sure, everyone thinks he's a hero but I know better. Because I live in his head. You see, he's not the hero everyone thinks he is. Sure, he'll own up to being gun slinger in the Old West. No problem ticking off the big bounty on his head and how many bodies hit the dirt at the end of his smoking gun. Will he tell it's because of me he didn't die? No. Because I'm the flaw he doesn't want to show. The dark, killer side. The one that keeps us both alive. And that's how it would have always been. Until her... I swear she knew I was there. And the bastard just had to break her heart. For that, he's going to pay. Even if it means we're both going to die.

Welcome Back to The Grid Jess William Bailey has a history of being a very bad man. But that was the past—now he’s the most brutal of the bad-asses as leader of the Wires—the toughest and deadliest warriors on The Grid. He makes no excuses, feels no guilt for what he has to do and keeps both at bay with women, drink and violence. But his time is quickly running out and Jess has a solitary goal to make sure he leaves at least one good thing behind—his daughter, Sophia. A child that has been raised by the woman he still loves, Emma and the man that used to be the former dark-side of his split personality, Reno Sundown. The last thing Jess has time for with his collapsing time frame is the beautiful, tough San Fran police detective, Beth Daniels getting in his way. Beth has always been the one to handle everything that came her family’s way and all she has left is her mother who isn’t able to take life’s hard hits. Beth has worked obsessively in the police department to become one of the toughest detectives with a high crime solution rate. But there’s a serial killer in San Francisco and the city’s women are the targets for the cold-hearted murders. She thought she found the psycho doing the deed. But Jess William Bailey is a whole different brand of killer—one she’s told to stay away from. Which she would be glad to do—if somehow she could. The Cowboy is totally country. The Cop is completely rock-n-roll. Can their two very different beats combine to form a heartbeat of a lasting kind? And can it survive when Hell wants to kill the song?
