Hi Everyone.

I apologise if it isn't clear, who is saying what; I tried to keep it sounding as close to the actual game as possible and as they don't announce who is saying what, I did the same. If it is overly confusing, please message me and I will be happy to change it for the next chapter.

Thanks for reading!


You are Ramona Thomas.

You are awoken from your sleep, by the phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hi. It's Bill, I just called to tell you that I am going to be home late tonight."

"Again? Is there not anything you can do?"

"Sorry."

The line goes dead. You let out a sigh before returning to your bed… but something is not right. You glance around your apartment. Everything is in place except for…

You stumble backwards at the sight. The door has been opened. The chain has been broken. And you realize in that moment… there is someone in the house.

You feel your heart start to beat rapidly. You race out the door, hoping you can escape. You step out of your apartment door and breath a sigh of relief. You continue to run, but… you can't. A tall figure stand behind you, holding you in a deathly tight grip. Your struggle but it is no use… he is stronger than you.

"Please, you can have anything you want but just don't h-hurt me."

The man lets out a thunderous roar of anger, before you notice him touch something shiny… He has a knife. You feel heart beating faster than it ever has before… before it stops beating altogether. Before you realize, he has placed the knife through your heart. And in your last moments on earth, you hear him grumble.

"Lies, they are all lies. You tell me you will love me no matter who I am. You lied to me. You lied!"

You are now Mal Fallon.

You arrive at the police station. As you walk into the bullpen, you half hope that today will not bring another crazed murderer but as soon as your eyes meet that of your co-workers, you know otherwise.

"So, anyone care to fill me in?"

The Captain turns to you, holding up several photographs of the crime scene, which you would rather not look at.

"Ramona Thomas, stabbed in the heart by our mysterious assailant. Agent Williams will fill you in on the rest."

"Are there any witnesses? Anyone to interrogate?"

"No witnesses, although the neighbors claim to have heard constant fighting between her and current boyfriend, Bill Port. It's a probable cause at most, but it's all we have."

She pauses for a moment.

"Detective, I want this case done properly and promptly… before he kills again."

You feel your eyebrows twitch as a confused expression washes over your face.

"But Captain… I don't understand. Who's to say we are dealing with another serial killer here? He hasn't killed before, his MO is not overly unusual…"

She cuts you off midsentence with a sigh, realizing she has revealed too much.

"There is no hiding anything from you, is there Fallon?"

You exchange a shaky grin, before she continues.

"Usually, I would not consider this anything more but we have evidence to believe our killer… is working with Genevieve Collins."

Your mind suddenly drifts back. You are in your apartment, speaking with Genevieve Collins. You replay the event in your mind. There were so many things you could have done differently… if you had done it right. Your only comfort is knowing that The Kraken was brought to justice, but still…

"Mal, are you with me?"

"Oh, of course Captain. Apologies."

She nods her head before you start to speak again. It is clear she is uneasy talking about this.

"So what evidence are we talking about here?"

"Mal, I am sorry but I am not at liberty to say. I have already revealed too much and if…"

She stops herself mid sentence, then worriedly pacing back into her office room.

You exchange an uneasy glance with Natara, and without even speaking you know exactly what each other are thinking.

"So? Details?"

Natara jokingly scoffs, then handing you a file of notes, theories and pages of profiling.

You look to her in disbelief.

"Natara… We are not even sure our killer will kill again and here you are with all of this."

She sighs in agreement.

"I know but… I need to make sure. After what happened with Shawn, I just can't afford to…"

You stop her. You can see she is having difficulty talking about this.

"Okay. I understand. So, ideas?"

She laughs at you mockingly.

"Well that's for you to read over!"

Your laughter is cut short by a howling scream somewhere in the distance. You check your gun is in its holster, ready to burst out the door before you hear a man grumbling.

"Lies, they are all lies. You tell me you will love me no matter who I am. You lied to me. You lied!"

You have reached the end of Chapter 1.
