Intro

I am cornered, how did it come to this? I have no back up and I have no more bullets. All of this just doesn't add up, they knew I was here. How? The only people who knew about this case are the chief, the girl who is involved in this one and the coroner. I don´t think the coroner, Sonja ,would have told them or anyone else. Did the chief set me up? The girl couldn't have because she is in hiding.

„Detective, we all know that you have no more Bullets and that you are alone. When you surrender now ill let you live as my plaything or you can choose to be my Dog. When not then ill be sending your Corpse back and that little kid is going to be so disappointed, didn´t you promise her to take us down.“

The woman laughs evilly, as I try to find a way out of this situation all I can think about is that girl. Her eyes wide as she identified her parents bodies and the look she gave me as she said she wanted revenge. I want to see her and show her how revenge really works. I want to take these people in alive and watch them rot in jail for what they did.

Wait how did she know about the girl and the promise, is there an informant in my office? That's impossible, I checked all the people personally for the chief. I just need to by some time, so i can get out of this alive. As I stand I hear bullets being shot but not in my direction. „ what the Hell is going on? Who is that? What is she doing here? How did she find us?“

„ It doesn't matter just catch her, she isn't aloud to escape here alive.“

As they lose themselves in the confusion, i run out the back door and quickly get in my car, hoping and praying I get away without them noticing. All falls silent, I then see a person running out coming towards my car. I drive to this person let them in and drive off. I look around to see if we are being followed, when i see that we are alone i pull into a motel and park the car behind the building. I then pull out a medical kit to see to my wounds.

I look at the person who saved my life, they are sleeping, I pull back the persons hood only to find that this person is wearing a white mask and wakes up due to the light. I can only see the persons sky blue eyes. I have so many questions and as I am about to ask them the person put a cold finger to my lips and says: „We shall talk later, its not safe here. Finish up quickly, in the meantime I shall draw a map we need to go it. There we can talk freely, no one knows about this place, so we will be safe there. I do as I am told and finish taking care of my injuries, the person then hands me a map and I decide to trust this person and drive there. Its a 8 hour drive from our current location and upon arriving all I see are trees. I am scared at first because it feels like a trap. I decide to stop the car, the masked person looks at me in disbelief. „ Why have we stopped? I do not believe I have given permission to stop before our arrival.“ She says.

„ I´ll be honest with you, I feel like this is a trap. There are no buildings and I don't hear any birds singing. Where the Hell are we and what do you want from me?“ „ Drive a little further. There is an underground entrance. There we can speak.“ She says.

I again do as told and drive to the underground entrance, there are lights and computers all over the place. Its like an underground Police department. It has all the technology we would need in order to catch the people behind all of the recent murders. I start looking around and notice a file laying open with my picture in it. There are also notes on me and how I do my job.

Who is this person and why do they have so many things? How do they know me? Where did they get this information? As I am about to ask I feel a sharp pain in my side and remember my injuries. I faint from the pain and lack of sleep, i feel cold air entering my body and I close my eyes.

Chapter 1

I wake up at 4 to do my usual routine, I go running for about an hour, go home, take a shower, eat breakfast, watch the news, get dressed, and head to work. As i am watching the news I get a call from the chief.

„ Morning, I need you to come in A.S.A.P, We have a new case and I am leaving it to you. You will be working alone until we figure out who did it, ill give you the rest of the details when you get here.“ With that the chief hangs up.

I turn off the T.V. , get dressed, and drive to work. Upon arrival I see the chief waiting for me outside. He looks at me and I can tell this ones gonna be a tough one. The chiefs eyes are colorless and the bags under his eyes are more black than usual. Which means he woke up extremely early this morning to figure out who to put on the case.

„ Chief, whats going on?“ I ask.

„ In my office, i want to talk privately.“ With a solemn look on his face we go to his office.

I can tell he isn't happy about something and with the coroner already standing in his office I don't know what to think.

„Detective Darwin E. Franz, this is our new coroner Sonja Tranor, She is the one who found the bodies this morning.“

„ She found the bodies?“ I ask.

„ Yep, she said the child of the 2 people left for school and then she heard a strange noise at her neighbors house. She went to go and check to see if everything was okay then she found them. Lying next to each other holding hands. It looked liked they killed each other, the only problem is that there is no letter or anything like that. How should we go about this one.“ I look at the chief in disbelief, why is he asking, shouldn't we confirm that these people really are the parents of the child and then determine this as a murder case. As I look for the words to say the chief is staring at me like he wants to show me or warn me of something. I look at him and ask, „ What is it?“

He looks at me with saddened eyes. „ The child is 16 and is legally an adult in this matter, we need to ask her permission first if we can do dissect her parents bodies to see if they were really killed or not. Also at the crime scene there was a file on you lying on the floor. You are our top Detective, do you really want to take on this case, if it is one.“

He sends Lenny away so we can talk about it some more. He doesn't trust her and is afraid that she might have set it all up. As I tell him I will be talking on this case, a beautiful blonde haired girl with large sky blue eyes walks in. She looks at the chief with a smile.

„ I was told to come here, but to tell you the truth sir, I think you have me confused with someone else. My Name is Cristashia Moon Shadow, I was told my parents were murdered this morning after I left for school.“

„ Miss shadow this is Detective Darwin, He will take you to identify the bodies, please follow him to the coroner.“

I stand up and walk with the shadow girl to Sonja. As Sonja pulls the blanket away from the faces, the girls eyes start watering up. I look into the wide eyed girls eyes and see that she feels alone and powerless. Sonja pulls the blanket back over the face, I then wrap my arms around Cristashia and walk her out of the Autopsy.

We sit down on a bench and I wait for her to say something. She looks up at me with fire in her eyes and says, „ I want revenge for what they did to my parents. I want to find them and rip their hearts out. I want to watch them bleed until they beg for death. They don´t deserve to live.“

I look at her and can tell she is deeply hurt, as I try to find the right words the Chief comes over and asks if we can call this a murder case and have me start working right away. She says in a creepy calm voice, „ yes , please do so.“

I look at her and say, „ I promise to capture the people who did this, they will pay for what they did. Although I must warn you now, First I will be alone, and secondly I won´t kill them. The judge will put them in jail until they rot and their bones become dust.“

She looks at me her blue eyes shining and hugs me. She thanks me for taking such a hard case on. She tells me everything she knows about her parents and tells me, I can search the house for clues.

As I get into my car to go to the Shadow house I notice a girl standing in the alleyway across from the Police Department. I wonder if that's a friend of Cristashia´s, I ask a younger Police officer to go and ask the girl what she is doing there. I drive to the crime scene to see if i can find any clues as to what happened and who did this. I drive up the rode past my house and take a left into the more suburb area where the rich people from town live.
