Dire's Strait - Protect and Serve

Meeting after a meal is recommended, never before. Agent Dire of the Paranormal Defense Department is in such a predicament. His relationship with Max Detroit, a Frenchman with an appetite, is problematic at best. For to Max, fine dining and love are two sides of the same coin, the distinction between them often hard to judge, much like good and evil. When another agent is kidnapped by paranormal drug dealers, and sword-wielding assassins make another attempt on Agent Dire's life, Max intervenes.
But what is his motive? And just how does the delectable Agent Candice Neith fit in?
