After the attack

[t_coleburn]

Morning finds him on the floor of the kitchen, drunk, but not as much as he'd like to be. The front doors remain remarkably unscathed, but the front hall is a charred mess, as are the sleeves of his once long-sleeved shirt.
The books are gone, and the warning note telling him he will be summoned to trial later lies in a small heap of ashes on the floor.

Fragments... all he has for his trouble are fragments and clues.
