Prologue 

It was a sad night in River Valley, Kentucky. A night that would put a pit in the stomachs of even the most hard-scarred detective.

 A place that was supposed to be an upbeat tv type town had become a populous, city of crime in recent years. 

A boy only the age of eleven cried. But these tears could not be heard as for The sky had chosen to cry that night also. All the While The Killer got away.

Chapter.1. “New Job!”

Buzzz….”Earlier this morning the Bodies of 3 ex-cons were found dead on 351 sky street. The Police are refusing to release any information such as the manner of their death.

Zap.. I shut off the tv as quickly as I turned it on. I already knew the news ‘’Killer strikes again’’, It was the 7th Group murder, we’d seen this year!

There was a knock at the door interrupting my thoughts on the sad truth.

“Come in’’. 

In walked a man with a familiar, rather long chin, and a large gut; My Boss.

‘’I could hear you making good use of you're new office’s flat screen" stated my boss

‘’Yes sir’’ I responded

‘’Anything from the public yet, Scott’’ asked the old man hopefully.

‘’Nothing but repeats of our old news’’ I Informed him.

‘’Go ahead, and re-read the cases, you Might be able to find something’’ he responded 

Heading off to check in on other cases. 

The old man’s name is Anthony Charles. He used to be just like me until the man above retired. 

I am a part of the A.D.U; Ace Detectives unit.

 There are 3 ranks in this job, rank 1-News informant. In this rank, you get good with the people on the streets and get paid. Kind of like an informant.

Rank-2, Ace Detective, you get assigned a case, you work on it, and then present it to your Boss A.k.a the Master Ace Detective.

Ten years ago,  River valley practically went from a walnut grove to a Gotham city overnight, 

After governor Andrew Sims arrived at his house late at night, he discovered a group of mugs known as the Iece Beaters there. 

They proceeded to record and beat him. 

They played the video live at the cities newly paid-for theatres inciting a huge upheaval In the town. hundreds of the poorer living citizens of the newly booming town had decided they had enough of wealthy members. 

The gang's original members have since then been caught and tried, but the group's damage has  hooked into our old town and caused an upward slope of crime.

The emergency council decided that since crime matured so should the force working 

Against it thus starting the very first Adu. 

3 years later I was patrolling a small apartment complex in the middle of a thundering night when I heard the slight noise of a child crying. I decided to check it out,

There behind the apartment where the bodies of Jane and John Doe. That was the first time I had ever stumbled upon dead bodies, let alone one dead body. 

The sight was enough to make me throw up. After that, I was only barely attached to the case.  I felt as if I should be working solidly on that case but instead, they moved me back to patrol.

After that, I decided to join the A.D.U 

I started out as a news informant as most cops newly joined would  But, recently my hard work on a drug bust, and some ‘’position changes’’ earned me a place in rank-2. 

To think They had me on the streets working as a bartender in the lower part of town giving free drinks and getting free tips.

Well, anyways, let's get back to what's at hand.

‘’Case 1- The leader of black Iece and his mugs were found dead in an alleyway downtown. No bullets, except for Some Thin burns. No weapon found

Case 2- The face of WMOK (Wealthy members of Kentucky) was found dead in his mansion with a thin hole around 1 inch wide leading straight through his heart and out the other side. First-degree burns around the entry point no gunshot residue found on the scene. No weapon found.

Case 3-the few members of the black dog gang were found dead in a dumpster on 101

Whale street. Tiny holes leading from one side of the body to the other side similar to the WMOK case were on all five of the bodies found.

Cases 4,5, and 6 were all individual, not really big enough to mention cases. All we need to know is that They all shared similarities to the first and 3 cases.

Case 7-The 3 ex-cons names were  Jerome Helson, Tyrone Johnson, and Oliver Peak.

There were all reformed ex-Black Iece members. They served their time, all had

Families and all had moved on.    Still no weapon.

The original theory was rival gang killings until the autopsy came out. The weapon used in the cause of death is undetermined but, we know it's not any weapon we have seen.

We cannot theorize a suspect or charge anyone without a confession or a weapon.

So for now we have no choice but to wait until the killer slips up. And thats goes to saying that he will slip up.
