Chapter 1 – Being Watched
"Come on man, hurry up!"
"Shut up will ya? You're gonna wake up the whole neighborhood!"
Rorschach watched the men from shadow of the rooftop. He knew they were handling with drugs and child pornography in the boxes they were loading into the truck below. As soon as the men went back in the garage, Rorschach quickly dropped down the fire escape without making any sound and landed near the truck. Opening the driver side door, Rorschach reached inside and tore the ignition off the steering wheel.
As he was closing the door, he heard two distinctive thuds of bodies hitting the floor inside the garage. Quickly making his way to the garage, Rorschach leaned around the edge and peeked inside to find the men he had been watching were on the ground. Carefully entering the garage Rorschach noted that both men had small dart in their neck. The ding of an elevator caught Rorschach's attention and he caught a glimpse of a woman's back with raven hair in a bum and wearing a reflective jade green top before the doors closed.
Reacting quickly, Rorschach ran for the fire stairs and quickly ascended to the top floor. When the elevator arrived and the doors opened, the ink blots on his face shifted quickly as he saw the elevator was empty. Stepping to the edge of the elevator, Rorschach was poised and ready as he peeked in the corners but upon finding no one there, he clenched his fists even tighter. Letting out a heavy, ragged breath, Rorschach turned to leave when he heard something. Looking up to wear the sounds came from, he noted the exit in the ceiling was left open and he rushed back to the fire escape, climbing to the roof. As Rorschach burst through the fire escape door, his fast reactions allowed him to catch a dart in his hand before it hit his neck.
Looking around the roof, Rorschach saw the woman from the elevator standing on the ledge of the building but it was too dark to make out the features of her face. "Who are you?!"
"I am you, someone who cleans up the filth that litters this world." She spoke with an accent Rorschach noted, but did not recognize. The 6 inch, spike stiletto heels she wore clacked on the ledge as she stepped to her right.
"How do you know me?!" Rorschach asked, anger in this raspy voice.
"You're not the only one to ignore the Keene Act, nor the only one I've been watching."
The sound of the garbage truck grew louder as it drove by. Without warning, the woman fell off the ledge of the building. Running to the ledge, Rorschach leaned over to see the woman standing on the roof of the garbage truck. With her back to him, he could only see the same features as before in the elevator. Clenching his fist, Rorschach remembered the dart in his hand. Looking at the dart, he noticed the tip had been coated in something and the end had a small piece of jade shaped like a snake. Staring down once again at the road the garbage truck had gone, Rorschach turned and walked into the shadows.
