I got told who my father actually was. He was a cop. But he was dirty, and the reason that I had grown up in witness protection. Ellen, his former partner, knew that the minute I stepped into the academy, his entire sordid history would be dropped on my head, and she didn't want me to go in unprepared.

[And being an eighteen year-old boy getting his hero shattered in front of him, he did what would become his signature move. He ran the fuck away.]

I left witsec and went to New York to try and find my own way in the world. I met Mozzie, and the rest is history.
