Kyle: 18
Early Days
As Kyle turned 18 years old, he joined the Gordon City Police Department (GCPD). When Kyle was a child Police Commissioner Grant saw potential in the boy, a future in the GCPD. Grant made young Kyle a deal. The deal was that if Kyle could earn a driver's license legally, that is pass the courses required before he aged out of his childhood street kids' network, then Commissioner Grant would make the adult Kyle a detective in the GCPD.
Settling on the full name Dakota Bruce Kyle, before turning 18 he earned his license. Dakota as in the states. Bruce was a spin on billionaire Bryce, his dad and Gordon's guardian Dark War. Bryce and Dakota never had never mentioned their relationship to anyone, Bryce never told Dakota and visa versa. They both knew, like they knew about Dark War, and that made it a family secret. Bryce's son Dominic didn't know he had a half brother.
While he was finding his feet Dakota slept on Grant's couch and used some of Grant's old suits. Upon making detective and history as the world's youngest fully fledged police detective, Dakota was partnered with Detective Francisco Rhyse. Homicide Detective Rhyse explained how they're supposed to solve cases as fast as possible before they pile up.
On his first case Kyle went to a street friend "Hey Charlie, it's Kyle."
Charlie said "You're a cop now."
"Detective, yeah. Help me on my murder case or I'll have to arrest you, I have quite a bit on you man."
Charlie said "Fine, you made your point. Where was it?"
Kyle said "No witnesses, take a guess."
Charlie said "You shoulda become a lawyer. Teen tall, blonde hair, white guy and street clothes, no suits for sports or court. That him?"
"Yeah. Don't lie to me or I will arest you. We know it's not a gang hit and not an intiation, it's not vice. What was it?"
Charlie said "I don't know. I thought it was one of the two."
Kyle said "You do the paperwork. Let's take him in."
Back at the station Captain Wayne Revard asked "Anything?"
Kyle said "Nope, got a perfect description but guy gave us the runaround."
Rhyse said "We think the victim was disrespecting street and criminal culture."
Revard said "Get back to work." He walked off.
They flipped through the file, Kyle said "As a kid I was taught to hide the reality of things from outsiders, normal people. We do it using stereotypes. We hated normals using the stereotypes. Do it and you'd get beat up or become a druggie, you'd be punished for insulting our culture. If the victim did get killed for disrespecting someone, he must've been damn good at it. He had no record. His work wouldn't give him the tools for something so strong. We're not dealing with a case of disrespect me and I'll kill you. Look at the body, he wasn't trying to be street."
Rhyse said "Any ideas on what we are dealing with?"
Kyle said "A run of the mill murder, could've been a million things. Wrong place, wrong time. Sirens spooked some mugger."
"I'll check dispatch." Rhyse referred to his computer, "Yep, a cruiser would've passed through around TOD."
Kyle said "Body cam might've caught something."
Rhyse said "Nope, it was a one person."
Kyle said "We missed a camera. That alley was a delivery site for donations for the homeless, both Wyatt and mayoral drives used it. I know, I set it. The camera was hidden, setup for donors."
He grabbed a crime scene photo, "There." He showed Rhyse.
"You know about this how? It was for donors."
"Donors practically stared at it during drop offs."
