Los Angeles, the land of opportunity. This city is one of the few popular cities in the United States of America. I believe in justice, but I also find there's injustice to everyone. Ever since the death of my former commander and not-friend-but-not-enemy Cole Phelps, only half of the Suburban Redevelopment Fund is going to jail. Dr. Harlan Fontaine, the leader of the syndicate, was killed by one of his patients. The other half of the organization who has escaped justice is the Mayor, the Police Chief, and lastly Roy Earle, the corrupt Vice cop.
My name is Jack Kelso and this is my story.
As I drove to City Hall, I wonder to myself as I looked to the pistol I was holding in my right hand. Am I ready to do this? Well, the answer is yes.
I walked to the top of City Hall to find the Mayor, Police Chief, and Earl meeting. I gotta say they looked surprised to see me.
"Jack?" said Earle. "Look who it is, Jack Kelso. One of the finest men in L.A."
"Thank you, Roy," I said. "You know the reason I came here?"
"What?"
I pulled out a pistol and shot the Mayor in the head. Both the Chief and Earle are horrified by this. They pulled out their guns and ready to shoot at me. However, I managed to wound them by shooting them at their shoulders. They were so terrified that they run away. Just then, the Mayor's men and cops have showed up. I decided to be a badass of taking them down so easily.
I went to a rampage that has never forgotten as I slaughtered the cops who are in my way of my mission.
I finally gunned down the Vice cops whom Earle has been with. As I cornered him closer, I pointed the pistol to his head.
"Now, Roy, you're finally getting what you deserved for ruining Cole's life."
Roy laughs off about this. "Is that you came here, Jack? To take back of what I have taken away from him? You must be joking, Jack."
I was so pissed off at his explanation. Me, joking about doing all this to take back of what he did to Cole back then? I'm not. I was so pissed I threatened to shoot him by his head.
"It's over, Roy," I said.
"I'm warning you, Jack. If you do this, you are dead man. You hear me? You're dead!"
I replied, "I don't care."
Then a gunshot is heard from the gun I was shooting. I shot Roy in the head and he fell down dead. The words he said are the last ones. I did it, I finally avenged my comrade. I was so relief.
What I didn't notice is that the Chief is pointing a gun at me, ready to kill me. It doesn't matter, anyway. I'm a dead man like Earle said. Might as well accept death with dignity.
"Goodbye, Jack Kelso..."
Then, a shot is heard as the chief drops dead. I looked to my left and I was so surprised to find out who it is: Herschel Biggs, the Arson cop.
"So you heard, huh?"
Herschel said, "I heard the call from the police about the attack on City Hall." As I saw the look on his face, he is worried for me. I remembered the times we used to work together in solving cases before he was partnered with Cole. "What the hell happened, Jack?"
I decided to tell the whole truth from him about how saw cops are dead including Earle.
"I killed them, Herschel. I wanted to stop them from shaming Cole's name."
"Jesus Christ..." said Herschel. I was right, he is worried about this situation.
"Am I going to jail for this?"
"As a matter of fact, no."
Those words coming out of his mouth have surprised me. What's going on here?
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I'm quitting," was the reply. "I want to work with you in solving cases."
"Okay, that's a good start," I said. Looks like I found myself a partner.
Not only I have given Cole the peace he needed, but also mine.
I decided to become a private detective.
