Chapter 2 - Heartless.
You are now Ben Grayson.
3 months ago: The sound of an ear splitting shriek wakes you up, causing you to lunge straight up onto your feet. Your eyes suddenly burst open, but to your surprise you are still stuck in the same room that you've been locked up in for 3 years now. You sit back down onto your bed as you stare at them same four walls that close in on you: day in day out. You walk over to a dusty broken shelf that you keep all your processions on.
You then feel around and pick up what appears to be a newspaper. You pick it up and walk back over to your bed. The moonlight beams in through the window, and that's when you stare at a tall young, muscular man, smiling charming right back at you.
You then scan the text. 'Hero Cop Risks His Life To Save Many People from Bank Robbers.'
You growl in anger as you throw the newspaper down onto the floor in frustration. As that day where your whole life was destroyed, comes haunting back to you. You lost every thing that day... And now you are determine to get your revenge for what he did. Everything you loved was taken away from you, by one person and one person in particular.. Detective Malachi Charles Fallon.
You are now Mal Fallon.
You sit in your vehicle with Natara and Detective Jamie Shepard. Their is an uncomfortable atmosphere lingering in the car causing an awkward silence. Before Natara breaks the ice. "So Detective Shepard how long have you been with the NYPD?."
He smiles at her as they both catch each other eyes: meeting in a deep gaze. "You can call me Jamie you know? And I have been their since I was 18 and became a cop when I was 21." he says charmingly.
She smiles at him, and seeing them both smiling at each other, tears you up as your jealousy begins to boil from deep inside of you.
"Miss Williams can I just say you have the most mysterious, sparkling set of beautiful eyes I have ever seen." Natara giggles like a school girl that has just met the boy of her dreams.
"Thank you...Jamie." he grins widely at her. As you can see her smooth olive cheek slowly beaming glowing red as she blushes uncontrollably
"Oh come on. You have got to be kidding me, the nerve of this guy." you mutter under your breathe.
Your grip tights on the wheel as your body tenses up. Natara notices and places a hand softly onto your knee. As she softly pats it. "Mal is everything alright? You've hardly spoke a word since we left the station?" she asks as a concern look flashes across her face.
You start to sweat as your heart races, before gulping hard. "Y-yeah fine...Everything is just per-fect." you say reassuring her even though things are far from it.
She studies you for a brief moment, you're just hoping she believes you. Before she tries to say something you interpret her. "So Shepard what made you come all the way over to San Francisco? Pay not good over their." you playfully tease.
"No the pay is fine over their, I moved here because I have some problems of my own going on at the moment, and I needed to get away from it all for a while. But also I really wanted to meet and learn from the both of you. You both are an inspiration." he says as he chuckles softly.
You look through your mirror to the back seat of your vehicle where Detective Shepard is sat. That's when you notice a unusual bright red mark on his arm, he notices you looking and quickly pulls his sleeve down. You are curious about the sudden reaction, and still at the bottom of your gut is telling you that their something not right about him. But what?
Before you have a chance to ask him, you arrive at the crime scene. The three of you exit your vehicle and head towards that familiar scene you, have seen a thousand of times before. You approach the crime scene and that's where you are greeted by Detective Ken Greene. "Hey Mal. Hey Natara. Err..."
Ken leans over and whispers into your ear. "Who's the guy with the girl locks?." you grin before sighing. "Ken this is Detective Jamie Shepard from the NYPD he has just transferred here and will be joining our force. And Jamie this is Detective Ken Greene."
Ken looks at Detective Shepard and politely smiles. Detective Shepard extends his hand for Ken to shake. "Nice to meet you Detective Shepard."
"The pleasure is all mine, nice to meet you to Detective Greene." You look over to spy for Kai but their is no sign of him anywhere.
"Hey Ken where's the dork?." You say as your jaw clenches.
Ken jerks his finger behind and that's where you notice Kai running towards you with an excited expression painted on his face. "Detective macho stuff, Agent hottie boom bottie."
You sigh before grumbling under your breathe. "Oh that expression on his face is never a good sign. Ugh I think my day has officially become a whole lot worst." you moan.
He runs up to you, panting heavily like he has just ran a marathon. "Hey guys you should really check out what I found at the crime scene your hearts might just literally pop out."
You raise an eyebrow. "What the hell are you talking about Kai?." you saying glare at him.
Kai pause as he notices Detective Shepard stood their. He then turns to you with a smirk: the type of smirk you hate. "Hey Mal I think you have some competition on your hands." he says nudging your shoulder.
"Kai!.." Natara scolds as she frowns at him.
He sighs. "Right...Well... Erm.. As I was saying I found something totally fricken awesome at the crime scene that you all need to check out. You might say it's heart stopping."
"Kai!.. Enough with the heart jokes just leads us the way." you say as you frown at him.
Kai shakes his head. "What! I was just trying to lift the mood a bit."
You are now Natara Williams.
Kai has just lead you to an alleyway where a young female in her mid 20s lays. A pool of blood surrounds her and as you get closer. Your stomach begins churn as you approach the gruesome sight, you spy and that's when you see she has a massive whole in her chest. Where her heart is meant to be, that is not their anymore... that has now disappeared. You look over to Mal as he stares right back to you, his expression matches your own and his face has rapidly drained all of it's original shade of colour.
Detective Shepard kneels down by the body, he doesn't seem faced by the grim sight, as he begins to examine it closely. You fight back a lump of sick that lingers deep within your throat, before you swallow hard and turn back to face Kai.
Mal coughs, before regaining his composure. "Who's the victim?" he asks, his tone has become serious.
Ken looks over to you both. "The victim is Victoria Woods, aged 24 she owns her own business just outside town. And was last seen last night around about 11.30pm by her boyfriend, before her death."
"Anything else Ken? "you ask trying to retrace her steps, as your mind goes through all of the different possible situations that your brain can calculate.
Detective Shepard rises upon his feet. "Well her main muscle that's keeps her heart in place has been torn out. And her main arteries have been slashed, that connects to her heart. I say the knife entered through the middle of her heart and the killer pulled it out with some force. I would say she died instantly." everyone looks to him astonished by his sudden knowledge, before they look back over to Kai.
Kai grins in amazement. "Wow..I could really start liking this guy...But yes he is correct." you see Kai flash a smile over to Detective Shepard and as you glance your eyes around you can see Mal looking like he is distracted by something. That something is wrong with him.
You look over to Mal as you smile in his direction, he notices and returns you his charming infectious smile, you just can't help but to love about him. Before you continue speaking. "Kai was their any signs of a struggle?." Kai shakes his head in disappointment. "Sadly no but we will double check that when we do a autopsy on the body."
"Thanks Kai." you say as he grins at you, before the four of you start walking back to Mal's vehicle.
"That was one horrible site I have saw in a while now, that poor girl, she had her whole life ahead of her and now it all gone. Who could do that to someone I mean seriously that is just outrageous?." Ken speaks up, clearly he is in shock after seeing such an disturbing sight.
Everyone goes silent for a brief moment: still thinking the same thing that Ken has just said.
Mal looks at you as he speaks firmly. "I don't know, but we are sure going to find out."
You are now Ben Grayson.
2 days ago: You stand outside of the San Francisco mental institution that you have been locked away in for 3 years now. You grin widely as you are finally released and are now back onto the streets of San Francisco. You take a moment to take in the air as you softly inhale ande exhale, before looking around at the beautiful lights that hit against your face. You chuckle as you take out the picture of the young Detective Mal Fallon that is firmly in your pocket.
You keep walking with the picture firmly placed into your hands, you finally approach the place that you have been looking for as you read : San Francisco Police Department.
You smirk mischievously as you lower your voice into a husky harsh whisper. "Am coming for Detective Mal Fallon and your partner Agent Natara Williams. You're so going to regret that day where you took everything away from me. So you better be ready because when I am finished with you their is going to be nothing left. I'll make sure of it."
You laugh before you walk into the darkness, disappearing into the shadows.
