Book 1, Prologue: Saying goodbye to a loved one

((Flashback: Two Years ago))

It was a gloomy day the clouds were dark like a sudden rain, and below us we see a family morning the death of a child. It was Johnny's funeral Angela didn't want this day to come, but sadly this dreaded day had came like a great wind. Kneeling down Angela kissed her son saying her final goodbye, and as they closed his casket Jasmine kissed his slowly saying her final goodbye as well. However Jasmine cried more than her mother at the funeral, for this was Jasmine's brother who lye dead in the ground. Angela tried to save her son from the horrors of the streets, but even her efforts fell short now that he has died like his father.

Terrance came by after the funeral to talk to her, but Angela wanted to know what happened to her little boy? Terrance didn't want to tell what happen to Johnny, yet he would be lying to her if he didn't. So he told her everything he saw that day, and what he had to sat shocked both Angela and Jasmine.

Angela: "Terrance please tell me everything that happened dear, and that will bring peace to my little heart. At least he will be able to rest in peace, but I still miss my little boy Johnny." Terrance looked at his Brother's wife slowly in her eyes. this was going to be hard to tell her, but he never kept anything from him nor his brother...so he told everything that happened.

Terrance: "I was walking down the street quietly that afternoon, and it was a beautiful day noting was going wrong. Then I heard something coming from the distance near that building, but I knew it was a person screaming loudly from all the way here. So I checked out the place to see what was up, then...then I...I saw Johnny lying on the ground motionless. I saw him laying there blood was slowly flowing, so I tried to speak to him to see if he was still breathing. I said "Johnny wake up boy you ok? Johnny come on now don't play with me...Johnny please wake up!." Then I saw that he wasn't breathing he was dead, and I called the cops to get help for him. But I did see somebody else standing up near a window that was broken, and I can tell you he looked evil by his face. However he hid in the shadows from me, so I couldn't make out his face quickly. The police chief came to me to see what happened, but that shady character told him to keep quiet. "Tell him it was an accident nothing else, I cant let him know what really happened. So it's safe to say someone killed him Angela, and I'm so sorry I didn't want to tell you...but I had to tell you what really happened." Angela cried slowly as she looked at her son's little picture on the wall, who could do this to her little boy.

But she wasn't the only one who heard this story, Jasmine was in the room so that means she was in a furious mood by her looks. She went to bed crying slowly as she looked out the window, but just because he's dead doesn't mean he isn't with her. Jasmines window was open to get some fresh air, but she didn't think that it would also carry a message. She could easily hear her brother's voice in the air, it spoke with "Sister...Why are you crying? Don't cry now Jasmine I'm still with you in spirit, even if you cant see me physically anymore. Be strong fight the syndicate and there leader Jasmine, but don't forget I'm in the wind if you ever need me." Taking heed she went to sleep trying to get this off of her mind.

((Two Days Later))

Angela was cleaning the Dining Room quietly at the time, but it was raining heavily outside the window where she looked out. But the moon quickly changed with Jasmine entered the room heading for the door, and she had a coat on to protect her from the rain. This was quite odd for Angela she never goes out much, so with a little snooping she asked her where she was going.

Angela: "Jasmine you shouldn't be in a bad storm like this child, where the heck are you going in this type of weather?" Jasmine looked back at her mother with a sharp stance. But she did say something that got her mother alarmed.

Jasmine: "I'm going nowhere momma don't worry about me, and I wont be long I'm just handling something personal that's all." Angela thought something wasn't right by all of this. Soon she saw Jasmines gloves to prove her hunch right, and before she could leave Angela grabbed her jacket tightly.

Angela: "Jasmine don't you lie to me like that I know this, and do you really thing you're aren't going far by wearing those gloves? I know where you going Jasmine I can see it from your eyes, so your going to avenge your brother by beating the syndicate aren't you? Jasmine two days ago I just buried your brother Johnny, and I don't want to do the same for you child. Your heart's hurting Jasmine I can see that dear, but fighting isn't going to solve anything for us. Now go to your room Jasmine rest your head, and let the police handle things dear." Jasmine was mad about what her mother said. She tried to tell her that the police is just as corrupt, and there was no other choice but to fight them.

Jasmine: "But mother the police here work for the syndicate, so good luck waiting for someone to respond to that. Momma we have no choice but to fight them now, yet you think that this will pass quickly. The people here are too scared to challenge their power, and that leaves us with too little options. I'm sorry momma...but I have to go." Jasmine still had her jacket on when she left, As Angela looked out the window the rain wasn't to heavy at all, but it was still drizzling.

In Jasmine's mind she wanted to find that person, and she wouldn't rest until she caught up to him. Whatever it take's she going to avenge her brother, even if it means dying she wont take a break. Her journey begins we wont know what to expect, but somewhere far off someone was celebrating a great victory.

((Syndicate Headquarters))

At the syndicate headquarters Axel was sitting in a gold throne, and right beside him was his queen of crime Blaze. They were celebrating happily in their new office, but Axel hasn't forgotten about his former friend Johnny.

Blaze: "Oh isn't this wonderful your the head of this new syndicate, but it's a shame Johnny didn't choose to join you. But it seems that he didn't get the memo soon enough, well at least we don't have anyone challenging us now." Axel smiled as blaze kissed him softly on the cheek.

Axel: "He was a fool challenging me so there no harm do, and now that we rule the city we can get to work again. So Blaze, what should we do first?" Blaze smiled sweetly but there was something on her mind at the time.

Blaze: "Axel, what did you do with Adam, Skate, and Max?" Axel looked back at her as she asked that question. But he told her not to worry about that, and he's already handled that situation.

Axel: "Oh don't worry about that babe I've handled it, but I had to beat them to their senses to get them to join me. But I also warned them I wouldn't hesitate to kill them, so they wont be double-crossing me anytime soon. Besides they pledged their loyalty to the syndicate...personally." Laughing they both enjoyed the quietness of the room. But little did they realize someone one on there trail, and she was going to make some waves.

Jasmine: "Syndicate Boss I hope you here me from out here, and I'm coming for your cowardly tail but when I find you...I will kill you!" Something big was about to happen now. But we might have to wait to see the first episode.
