Chapter Three: The Investigation


Background: The police force no longer existed in this society. Regional managers control and maintain areas that used to be made of counties. Private organizations were tasked with handling crime. The government paid a few while most people had to pay fees to them similarly to insurance.

When Victor arrived at the scene he immediately called for back up. This was the crime of the century. Bodies and bullet shells were everywhere and for some reason no guns were present. The scene did not make any sense to Victor. The victims had been obviously shot to death. Only five minutes later the Elusive Gruesome Organized Crime Unit or E.G.O.C.U. (The unit was mostly just called the E.G.O. instead) arrived and began taking control of the crime scene. Victor began to look for Yuri who was in charge of the E.G.O.. He spotted him down the road talking with some of the regions’ managers. Yuri looked around the managers and dashed on over to Victor. “Have you learned anything yet?” he asked. “There are no guns anywhere, but I do have a possible clue. Victor guided Yuri to where he thought a clue could be. The two arrived in front of a house with its windows shot out. It was the only house completely torn up by gunfire. “What might have happened in here?” asked Yuri while moving to the door. Victor went ahead and walked inside the house only to stop short upon a strong scent. “This is definitely the smell of a corpse, but where is it?”. Victor swiftly moved up the stairs to find the origin of the smell. He reached the top of the stairs and peered into an open room. On the floor lay a body riddled with bullet wounds. He was about to leave the room when he noticed a business card in the man's jacket. Before going to check it he left the room and called for Yuri to come upstairs. The investigators crouched over the body and pulled out the card. They were both shocked at what they found. The body belonged to a Mr. Koga from the most secretive private organization known as Detectives. “We need to contact the Detectives agency right away!” exclaimed Victor. Yuri, however, thought it would be best to avoid the rival agency until E.G.O. could claim credit on solving this mystery. Little did they know that a battle ensued over the Detective agency compound. “I think we should keep searching for more clues. I am going to grab some fresh air”. Upon getting outside Victor hid behind a fence and took out his phone. He was not a big official at E.G.O. and did not really care about claiming credit or getting money. That is why he made the decision to contact the Detectives agency and solve this crime. The phone dialed and rang, and rang, and rang. There was no response and the call was dropped. The entire situation felt very strange.


Victor left the scene without saying a single word. He got to his car, opened the door, sat down, and drove off. While driving the roads seemed abnormally empty. A few minutes is all it took to get to the Detective Agency’s Compound. “Now this is a sight worthy of any renown detective!” exclaimed Victor. The were bodies all around the compound. There wasn’t a strong smell yet so the crime had to be recent. Victor took to the ground as gun shots rang in the air. It took a moment for him to realize they were distant and not around him. While on the ground he took the time to investigate the bodies. In such a short time he learned the Detective Agency was being raided by the Traitor cult. “The Traitors are so hated yet so little is known about them. Why would they be here and what do they have against the Detective Agency?” he thought to himself. Gun shots continued to go off in the distance almost as if they were entering the compound… Victor quickly realized that was exactly what was happening. He sprinted to his car, grabbed his gun, and stealthily ran to the ongoing crime scene. Right before he got to the main entrance he was took cover behind some bushes. An enemy patrol was just about to enter the building when one man spoke up. “Get inside and take control of the armory! Do not stop of anything! If I see any of you come back outside I will shoot you myself”. Victor thought those words implied the man would stay outside and guard the entrance so he decided to sit and wait. After about ten minutes of gunshots coming from inside the compound he thought it was safe to peek over the bushes. Just as he thought only one man was standing outside and was luckily facing the entrance to the compound. Victor crept up to his opponent and pulled a knife out. He silently rushed up to the man and grabbed him from behind with the knife at his throat. The man did not hesitate he pulled out his gun and victor scream “DROP IT NOW OR DIE”. Out of nowhere the man shot himself in the head, “better to die than be captured” thought Victor. The image of the heavily geared Traitors was still fresh in his mind. Victor decided to once again sit and wait for something to happen. “Besides what could I possibly do by myself to help?” he questioned. After waiting nearly what felt like an hour four people emerged from the entrance. Victor was actually scared and listened closely and heard someone say, “We need to get out of here quickly and then go track down and kill the others”. Despite his inner quarrels, Victor stood up to confront the four people.
