This week's episode is a follow up to our previous special episode. Following the events of Dick Winchester Book 1 (The Opening Salvo), the war for the soul of the Arlington, Virginia food delivery industry is turning hot. A ragtag band of underground delivery drivers must overcome the combined forces of Öber Eats, FloorDash, and their local real estate kingpin backer. Assuming the lizardmen of the Deepest State don’t defeat them first.

"The Deflation" kicks off as Dick finishes delivering an order, only to discover something wrong with his trusty silver steed: a 2018 Toyota RAV4. Leaning at an unnatural angle. A combat knife sticking out of the tire.

As Dick’s eyes roam from the known meeting place of the local Öber Eats union chapter he parked in front of to the “Proudly delivered by Öber Eats” sticker slapped on the savaged tire, will he solve this whodunit in time?
