1:the dead officer and the traitor.
Sella pov
I was sitting on my desk going through cases files discussing it with my partner detective Alex copper when suddenly I heard an officer calling my name.
Detective Patterson news just came, the dead body of our undercover agent appeared in front of the police station.
Detective Alex and I both ran outside to see the body of our friend officer Jacob lying on the cold pavement. Civilians were all around the place. cops assembled a yellow tape around the crime scene. Local news reporters were trying to talk to officers to get a scope for their rather boring afternoon news.
As I stood there trying to process what i'm seeing, the forensic doctor approached the body, time off death seams around 12 hours ago. Signs of beating and torture are all around the victim's body. The doctor carefully approached his badly bruised head the cause of death seems to be skull fracture. He opened his mouth saying yup just as I expected the tongue was cut off before his death. The Drakos family signature mark for traitors.
Sergeant gaffers came and put his hand on my shoulder
"Detective Paterson I know that officer Jacob was a very close friend of yours maybe you should take the rest of the day off."
My eyes were fixed on the severed tongue, anger took control of me. I bit my lips and clenched my fist
"There's no way i'm going to rest until I find who did this and lock him in jail to rot forever."
I walked inside the precinct with pure anger. Everyone avoided my evil gaze as they know any bad move will mean an endless brutal fight. I entered the brief room slamming the door behind me. All that anger and frustration was wallowing inside me.
I looked around there was nothing but chairs to release that anger. I started kicking them one by one.
No one dared to stop me or even talk to me.no one except Alex my friend and partner for five years now.
Alex pov
I walked in closing the doors gently behind.
I took a moment looking at her short wavy black hair falling on her face her wide black eyes surrounded by the sea of anger reddens, a tear was trapped between her lids.
All what I want to do is to hold her, to bury her head in my chest and to wrap my hand around her so she can cry in my warm embrace.
I know it was just a fantasy and a faraway dream I should just keep it locked away deep down in my heart.
I snapped out of my thoughts and shouted
"Sella will you just calm down. This anger storm you are having won't help at all."
She ignored me and just kept on kicking and punching those chairs
I walked closer grabbed her by the arm turning her towards me.
Calm down I know you're angry and sad about Jacob but the important thing now is to work the case and put those bastards in jail.
She looked at me with those pretty black eyes a single drop of tear escaped. It made a trail on her perfect ivory skin. I want to wipe it off, but just as I raised my hand she freed her arm from my grip.
"It has been three years since we started working on this case. Three dame years and every single time we catch a clue we end up with a dead end or a dead colleague."
I want to comfort her "its OK we will catch them eventually it's just a matter of time I promise."
"Yah a matter of time. When after you die or maybe after I die. It's just a stupid case we will lose more people just to catch low rank body guard. You know what the Sergeant was wright I will take the day off."
She walked away and out of the room.
I followed her letting out a deep sigh.
I closed the door behind me and turned just to see our fellow officers were standing outside the room with coffee mugs in their hands watching the raging detective. Like it was some kind of TV show.
She gave them a terrifying glare made them turn their eyes away and start a small talk pretending they never witnessed a thing. They felt relived as she walked away without yelling at them.
I smiled mocking their behavior.
Officer Stan was so pissed.
Stop acting like a smart ass you are not better than us in this situation.""
I walked closer to him.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
We all know that you have been trying to get in Patterson's pants for years.""
Me feeling the embarrassment I denied
"What are you talking about were just partners nothing more."
"Oh please we all can see the way you look at her"
From across the room the voice of Officer Daniel yelled
"She would be lucky to have you."
Stan came to me wrapped his arm around my shoulder
"You know Rita really likes you. She always flirts with you like that. Maybe you should give it a shot."
I pushed him away from me
"I'm not interested in Rita."
"Well I guess we all desire what we can't have."
I smiled gently to end this silly conversation. This not the time for high school drama. We should focus on taking down the Drakos family drug dealing gang.
Sella and I have been working the case for three years now but to no avail.
I sat on my desk going through the files, the pictures of suspected gang members and the testaments of the eye witness. Trying to find a new lead maybe a clue we missed anything that might help us catch a member.
While I was sinking in this mess I felt the presence of some one siting on my desk.
I looked up to see it was Rita with her long legs, a caramel skin, a light brown straight hair and a honey colored eyes. She was wearing a black leather jacket and pants with a white shirt underneath, the shirt's top buttons were opened it revealed her cleavage. She had a mug in hand filled with black tea.
"Hey I'm sorry about Officer Jacob. Was he a good undercover?"
"He was. He has given his whole life for the case literally.
"He changed his name, his personality trades and appearance and he even cutoff all relations with his family and friends."
"So how did he get caught?"
"I don’t know. On his last days he was suspicious about a trader inside the police force."
She stood putting her hand on my shoulder
"I hope everything works out for you and detective Paterson. But only when it comes to the case."
"Thanks."
I turned my eyes to see Stan raising his thumb for me. I rolled my eyes and turned my back on him.
Damon pov
In this abandoned empty building where no source of light exists accept the moon light; I took a seat next to the window. As the sounds of screams became louder, I reached to my pocket pulled out a cigarette pack and a lighter.my hands and shirt were filled with blood from all that punching. I lit the cigarette and looked out the window. It was clear sky night with a full moon.
I turned my head as I heard my younger brother and my must trusted man Apollo
"Boss he is ready to talk"
I stood up taking the last breath of the cigarette before i flicked it to the ground.
"OK let's go talk to this fucker shall we"
Apollo and I walked in a room lit by candles. Apollo closed the door behind me. I saw the man they were torturing. Blood was seeping out from every part of his body.
"Donny, my friend how does it feel to be tied by the hand and hanging from the ceiling. Those screams were loud how many broken ribs do you have. How many teeth did you loss?"
I looked at the other three men besides Apollo in the room
"Good job guys leave us alone"
I walked closer to him grabbed him by the chin looked at his face.
"Look at me"
He didn’t open his eyes. I tightened my grip and yelled.
"Look at me you fucker"
He opened his eyes slowly. His eyes were empty he knew it was his last moments on earth. But I will not let him die in peace not until I get the information I want.
"You fucker think you can steal from the Drakos family and get away with it."
He looked me in the eye and started to cry
"Please Mister Damon kill me. I beg you"
"Stop crying like a little baby and tell me who gave you the information about the meth shipment."
He turned his eyes away without saying a thing
"OK you want to speak the hard way"
I walked towards a desk in the corner of the room. I pulled out a picture from a file. Then I turned around and walked back to him holding the picture from its right corner at the level of my chest.
"Donny, do you know who this is"
His eyes widened in shock and fear
"Do you think you are the only person with a special informer?"
He eyes filed with anger. He moved his body randomly trying to get free. he shouted
"Don’t you dare drag her into this."
I put both my hands and the picture behind my back and leaned my face toward him.
"I don’t want to but I will. I will defiantly do anything I can to get a the name of snitch out of you."
He looked down with shame like he was defeated.
"Please she is only fifteen. She doesn’t even know anything about my work"
He took a deep breath and continued
"The man told me if his name was out he will kill my daughter. I don’t care about him I just want to keep her safe and out of the business.
I turned around and walked to the desk. I grabbed the chair placing it to face the hanging man and sat on it. I took the file and placed the picture back in it. I lit a cigarette, took in a deep breath and looked at Apollo who was standing in the same spot the whole time. Then I turned my eyes back to Donny.
"Look man i'm not that kind of bastard who drags innocent family members into this kind of business, But if I had to I will."
I took another breath of the cigarette and let it out
"If that man told you he will kill her then trust me i'm capable to do much worst. I can drag her down her strip her and let my men take turns on raping her. You will hear her screams as she asks for you to help her. Begging the men to stop f*****g her, but they won't stop. And just after they all have had their way with her I will tie her to this chair and rip her nails one by one maybe give her a few face scars.at this point you will probably give me the name that I want. And as an act of mercy I will put a bullet in her head. You will watch your daughter's Soul slipping out of her body. And then I will put one in your head too"
I took the last breath out of the cigarette and rubbed it on the desk to turn it off. I walked closer to him looked him in the eyes. He was devastated at the thought of his daughter being hurt like that.
"But there is a third option. I will give you my word that your daughter will be under my protection all the time. I will give her a new life away from the business without her knowing what her father's job is. Only on one condition you give me the name"
I know he gave me his trust as I saw the relief in his face
"It was Lucas. He told me the exact time and place the shipment will arrive. He wants to take your business and take out as a revenge for killing his brother and uncle."
I looked over to Apollo to give him an order.
"Tell the men that Lucas is our new enemy"
As Apollo left the room to obey the order I continued.
"And how did exactly did Lucas know about the shipment?"
"He wouldn’t tell. But one time I listened in to a call he made.it seems someone in the family trying to take your place as the boss."
The news didn’t surprise me as I already know there was traitor in the family.
I took the gun out of its hustler. One shot in the head was good. He died instantly
The men rushed in to take care of the body. I walked out of the room Apollo was standing outside the room. He asked
"Did he say anything else after I left?"
"No he just asked me to take care of his daughter"
I took one last look at the full moon and mumbled to my self.
"Let the hunting games begin."
