Noir AU

Sam works as a private investigator, under the tutelage of one Melinda May, in San Francisco. He has a good left hook and a tender right hand for stitching. He worries about the business, cause really how many clients are going to trust a woman and a black man, but loves what he does. He has a habit of taking cases that he likely shouldn't; most often as the client can't afford to pay much. This ends up with him working pro bono a lot more often than his boss would like.

In what spare time he can find, he also works at the local air field, tinkering and flying planes; which he fell in love with during his time flying in WW1.
