A young woman no older than 21 walked around her small but spacious apartment. Her green eyes flickered around the room being to used to studying the unstable and dangerous. She darted back and forth around the room grabbing things and replacing them, she was like an ant who happened to have just lost her queen and doesn't know what to do. Although if you had asked her she would tell you that if she was an ant who had just lost her queen that she would take over and become the queen. She would not let her "queendom" fall.
Toni ran to the bathroom, not forgetting to grab her contacts along the way. She put her hair in one long braid that went down her back. She hated hiding herself. It meant that everything she wished had all been a dream actually happened. She was going to have to stay hidden for the rest of her life just because of that imbecile. She then put in her red colored contacts that glistened like blood and her thoughts started to run wild.
Toni's thoughts traveled back to that day when her whole life changed. Her life, her world, was turned upside down by that person. She knew who killer was but no one believed her. She saw it happen right in front of her eyes, but people thought she was just attention starved. But who would actually be so attention starved that they would go as far as say they saw a murder and even go to therapy sessions for it? And believe me those sessions were not cheap. The therapist acted as if you were dumb or you would break at any moment. They spoke to you like a child as if you had mental problems and they also beat around the bush, which is one of my few pet peeves.
She growled a very menacing, almost animal like, growl. "I will find you," she said to herself.
She was interrupted by her phone ringing. It was not a normal ring. It played the song, How I Could Just Kill a Man by Rage Against the Machine. She checked the caller I.D. and saw it was Harold Pain. Harold Pain was one of her few friends and colleague. They had been friends and colleagues since college and their first cases, but the only time he called her was when some useful information on a murder or crime came though, not that she complained.
She answered the phone with a quick hello and waited for his information flood. He went on and on about how bloody and violent this crime was. He talked about how it had to be a hate crime. That he was having trouble keeping the press from asking to many questions. He was never really good at taking care of the journalists but can you blame him; they are savage animals when a crime like this happens.
"So you have to come quick to get to this scene before the higher-ups come. Also word on the street is L is going to be there to see the crime for himself," he exclaimed.
"Pffftt, yeah right L would be there, like he would do that after the Kira case. He would probably send someone to do his dirty work for him. But I'll be there in like twenty minutes," Toni replied with a stern voice that said don't-do-anything-without-me-being-there and hung up the phone.
She sighed deeply as she said, "Another day, another death."
Toni threw on some loose pants and a t-shirt she found in the back of her closet. She then headed back to her closet wondering why she didn't get her black customized converse in the first place. Staring at her reflection she mentally nodded to herself for a job well done. Of course the outfit wasn't the best thing she could have worn, the pants had holes in them and the shirt was something she had just grabbed at the last concert she went to, but it did the job hiding her burned shoulder.
She grabbed her keys and a small snack and walked out into the apartment garage. The cold wind outside hit her and she scolded herself for not grabbing a jacket, and the holes in her pants didn't help either. She sped over to her very stylish, yet functional Corvette, jumped inside, and immediately turned on the heater. After her and the car had warmed up she speed to the crime scene paying no heed to the speed limits posted around her.
I know it's short but this is just the introduction. I would love some feedback but I'm not one of the authors like AHHHH I must have reviews before I update.
