Pox and Ember are currently assigned to search for the missing woman, namely the 22 years old Nella Jeggins, who worked for the Freak Out Club. Freak Out Club is the cheapest, loudest, and the best club found underground and across the Pinephil Stadium. Officers and detectives, including Ember, from different police departments, have confiscated narcotics in this club before but months after the court ordered to shut the place down, the club simply added “Out” to its name and re-opened its doors to entertain more wasted people.
‘It’s just salt,’ the lawyer of Freak Out Club once said on the court before that annoyed Ember and made the officers a laughingstock. How blatantly insidious are these people, power and influence could truly shield you from justice.
Pox walked behind Ember as Ember made her way past the
A shadow was cast from the tall snake plant. It was standing near the open window, allowing the sun to strike past the billowing curtains. And half of Raverine’s face was touched by the soft edges of the sunlight. His face was lifeless and his body did not move an inch. Raverine was laying his back on his bed while staring at the snake plant, upside down in his vision. His head was hung on the right side of his bed with his fingers touching the floor. His mind was filled with nothing but the boy’s face, grinning at him and proudly flashing the blood dripping on the tip of his tongue.He cursed under his breath and washed his face with his left palm. A ding sounded that made Raverine bend his body upwards."Mister Agustine, a new message was sent from nine-nine-nine, would you like me to read it?" Alex said in a deep, synthesized voice.Raverine heaved out a frustrated sigh. "Yes, Alex.""Five thousand dollars. Cecil building. Straight to
Raverine wore a black hoodie and loose denim jeans. He even bought an anonymous mask so that he could hide his whole face from the sellers. The only hidden weapon he has is his punches, kicks, and the tiny and slim knife he hid. The knife doesn’t really look like a knife, more like a flexible blade wrapped around his belt.He used his black Kawasaki Ninja H2 motorbike instead of his car. It was faster and better than his sedan car in case the trading won't end well. Instead of stopping in front of the building, he hid his motorcycle five meters away from it where he could easily jump on it and ride away from the place. He went down from his motorbike after parking it a meter away from a rusty bob wire. He took off his black helmet and covered his face with the Anonymous mask. He lifted his gaze and saw a hanging poster on top of the building."To Future… Cecil building..." he muttered to himself and exhaled deeply.The upper floors of the building w
“Sir, believe me, I have sufficient evidence on my claim. Just hear me out.” Ember circled around her desk and walked by the Chief’s side. She heard Chief groan, implying that he wants Ember to stop talking but Ember went on with her explanation. The information she has on her hand is sound but if she were to mention her sister’s name on this, it would mean a lot of trouble so that detail is out. “A suspect name Sullivan Machoss will be selling an illegal product at the abandoned construction of Cecil building tonight. The product was smuggled from Portland to the capital city. I got this information from someone I know in the capital city police department, who is working on this smuggling case as well.”“Detective Ember...” Chief Wills sighed and patted her shoulders, "I don't need to send my boys to raid some trading of an illegal product, you say. I mean... you can't even state the name of the product. Surely, a picture of t
Ember turned her motorcycle's engine off after parking it near the road and withdrew her gun before walking towards the fence surrounding the Cecil building. Ember gripped her gun between her hands and positioned it below her. Careful she must be as she walks on a ground occupied by crushed stones that could create unwanted noises and must not be caught. A black motorbike standing behind a rustic bob wire caught her attention and approached it with light steps on her feet. She inserted her hand into her pocket and held her camera. She opened the back camera and removed the flash and sound of it. She took a picture of the motorbike's plate number and body.When she was done with taking pictures for evidence, she then hid her camera and quickly crouched when she heard someone walking nearby. She prepared herself and held her gun leveling her eyes. The night was dark enough to conceal her shadow and figure. Little to no light was emitting around. She controlled her breathing and
Pox went to his desk and turned on his computer. Ember followed him and stared down at the screen of his computer. Pox opened the documents and clicked a file entitled 'DD'. Pox sat on his chair while Ember is standing behind him.Pox inhaled. "Okay, so basically, DD is a doughnut shop, which means Dunkin' Doughnut," Pox said, sounding so proud of his discovery. He looked behind and stared at Ember’s frowned face.Ember shut her eyes and open them to glare at Pox. "Are you? Are you playing with me, Pox?" Ember exhaled. “Do you think that’s the evidence? A doughnut?” Ember pointed to his screen.Pox gulped before answering, "No..." Ember groaned and sat on a chair beside Pox. Ember crossed her arms on top of his desk and rested her head on top of it. “Well, you were so stressed about this ‘DD’ so I tried to look up for it.”“And you think that whatever the internet presents to you is good evidence. Wher
Her blood. It has a metallic odor. The once cold blood blazed in warmth and desire. Raverine kept thinking about how he finally found it. The human who took hold of his cravings. The mature clean-blooded human had been wafting by Raverine's nose the entire time, oblivious to how tasty it would be beneath the human skin through the human flesh.His trembling hands clutched his motor handle tightly, attempting to blur the words that disoriented his vision and mind. His mind was only filled with irrational thoughts. Thoughts that reveal his true vampire nature.It's madness. When he smelled the tiniest burst of that woman's blood out of her shoulder, it felt like he had a severe fever. His eyes would show how thirsty he was if he wasn't wearing his mask. He nearly turned into a monster that moment, with bright red glowing around his night-like pupil.If he was not able to control himself then he would not hesitate to pierce his poisonous fang and suck out that woma
Raverine stayed late in his restaurant, he cleaned the kitchen as he kept thinking about how he will approach the clean-blooded human without harming or intoxicating her. In circles, Raverine is trying to come up with a realistic plan but it all comes down to persuasion and lies.Raverine went to the back of the kitchen to smoke a little while. Smoking helps him think, and he thought it would only take him one smoke but two wasn’t even enough. But he had to leave now and make a move. Once the final smoke was puffed out of his mouth, he rubbed the butt of the cigar to the wall. He wiped his hand on his pants and was about to open the door.But his hand stopped from twisting the door knob open and slowly turn around to the shadows watching him in the same alley where he smoked.Raverine smirked and brushed his hair up. “Did I just wake up the vampires from their coffins?”“We are always awake…” the man hiding in the shadow said then snickered. “Quite proud of you, bird.”The voice echoe
Pox wondered what brought that Scavenger’s Hut chef-owner, Sir Agustine, into their department and looking for Ember. Then Pox remembered that Ember went to visit his restaurant after she visited Mrs. Grace Jeggins’ apartment. Perhaps Ember got something from that guy that may help solve the death of Nella Jeggins.Pox immediately called Ember to inform her about it. With just one ring, Ember instantly picked up the phone.“Ember! I got—”But before Pox could complete his sentence, a boisterous noise from the Ember’s end wrecked Pox’s eardrums. Pox pulled his phone away from his ears and cussed.“Ah, shit… What was that, Pox?” Ember whispered and Pox heard her shushing the people making the noise. “What’s up, Pox?” Ember said, this time it’s louder than earlier.Pox scratched the back of his ear and groaned. “What was that, Ember? That was so sharp and damn so loud, almost made me deaf. What’s going on there?”Ember cursed under her breath and answered, “The cacophony of Satan’s angel
