Second chapter and this is set after Mayumi Yamano's death and is still Adachi's pov although with some flashback (Can't wait to get past the opening murders),Hope its good.
Adachi you have to be better then every single one of them, you have to rely on nobody understand? People will come and take what they can from you and then will leave when they don't need you anymore. Deep down everyone is ugly and once people see your ugly they'll leave and forsake you just the same.

It's far too late to say shit has gone crazy as the crazy already happened, But to see a certain bitch that you pushed into a TV turn up dead and hanging on a telephone pole tends to drive itself deep down past crazy until it hits that part called denial and then the guilt attacks.
It's not my fault hell it was an accident I pushed her in, but what happened to her? Heck why do I care about her anyway? Not like somebody important or decent died, just a useless whore. Bitch was a reporter anyway, she probably ruined more lives as a reporter to get that oh so juicy dirt on her victims before she dumped them like trash, probably was going to do Namatame the same way or maybe she wanted him for the money.
A whore is never loyal.
Flashback
Amagi Inn Lobby (Before death of Mayumi)
I found Mayumi waiting in the corner of the lobby just as I told her to meet me earlier.
I told her "I had something important to her." And for all she knew it could have meant I had dirt on her that could put her comatose career into the ground permanently so she had no choice but to listen to me and make sure just to be safe.
She noticed me coming from around the corner and said "So who are you and what this "something important" you called me out here for?"
I noticed she was giving me one of those strange looks that said "freak stop wasting my time" and as I got closer she took a few steps back which confirmed my feelings but I needed answers first.
"What they say on the news isn't true, it it? All that talk about you having an affair and whatnot... it's all a lie right?"
She took a superior tone with me and replied "why do I have to explain myself to you?"
She didn't tell me anything but her answer was close enough.
I stepped closer to her as she took a few more steps back.
"I see... So you don't deny it. You caught my eye but it turns out you're another worthless bitch..." The go lucky voice was gone and I strained the last few words with my surfacing rage.
She started to get scared and said "what's wrong with you?" like I was the one at fault for being a lying manipulative bitch.
She stammered "D-Don't make me call for help!" as if her little threat scared me and it seemed so pitiful that I wondered how could I fall for such a whore.
"Shut up, Shut up, Shut up. I think you need to see how it feels to fear for your life, it'll get your head on straight."
I felt a smile cross my face as I stepped closer and closer eyeing her form until she had nothing between her except the TV and me.
She was the verge of tears now asking me what I was going to do.
I was gonna show this whore her place and use her as she wanted to be used.
I grabbed her and tried to bite her but she stepped back and all I heard was her scream as she went in through the TV behind her.
Flashback end
At first I couldn't believe what had happened, I had pushed her into a TV and nobody saw a thing. I went home and for what it seemed like all night I stuck my hand in my TV only to see it go through and the same glow engulf my hand as the picture swirled and twisted. By the night I didn't give a damn about Mayumi and figured let the bitch handle whatever she was in and it wasn't my problem up until we found her dead body the next day.
Media, police and everybody were all over the death of famed reporter Mayumi Yamano and figured that her man she was cheating with Taro Namatame or her husband were the prime suspects and amazingly no matter how hard the police searched the crime scene they couldn't find any evidence that led to me.
Somehow the TV world kills people and doesn't leave any evidence of marks of death. It was the ultimate thrill knowing that I got that bitch and now I was starting to feel a lot better about my discovery.
Maybe being down here in hick's folk Inaba won't be so bad after all but this headache was killing me.
"Adachi..."
I looked over at Dojima who was sipping his coffee while he shuffled through some paper work.
"You doing okay? I know you had a thing for the lady and for this to happen and I was a little too harsh earlier when you got sick after seeing her but you have to be professional in front of the civilians as they count on us."
I shook my head and threw on my trademark grin "No no I'm doing alright Dojima-san I mean it was just a small crush, besides we have a job to do."
Dojima sat his cup down on his desk and yawned while he spoke "Adachi lets go ahead and get some rest for tonight okay, We looked all over but the perp left no trail behind, doesn't matter anyway as people like this usually screw up when they try again a second time."
Stayed out till 3am and even now as we drove home we discussed tibbits of the case, Namatame was the main suspect but with a solid alibi it looked like they were looking at the wrong guy and with no other leads the inaba police were hoping for the suspect to be stupid to and try something else so they could catch the killer and muffle the criticism from the media.
We had no evidence, no real motives as Namatame and Mayumi were lovers and the only other motives we had were just an up and coming serial killer. So far it looked like I was in the clear. As I rolled the window down the cold morning air ran through my hair and face and I could feel my headache start to come down, or at least the pounding stopped.
Dojima dropped me off home at the apartment complex I lived at just down the road from from the path that led to Junes and with a wave he drove off and left me and myself to cold morning air.
After climbing a level of stairs and 5 doors down I found the apartment I had been living in for over 6 months. The place was a pad of sorts with two rooms and a small bathroom (living room and the room I slept in). Since being a cop was a demanding job of sorts needless to say I kept my place in pretty crappy order. my magazines, beer bottles and ramen cups splattered all over the table near an orange beat up couch I managed to save from the dump when I got here (Lady downstairs was gonna trash it) while a small TV rested on nothing but an old computer box I has used to ship my computer here which was sitting in the right furthest corner of my room where my bed was, excuse me I mean my mattress I lay on to sleep. Now that I think about it I didn't bring that much stuff to inaba when I got transferred here (Only important thing I had was my computer).
Most people won't think me for being a computer nerd and even when asked I may deny or change the topic but whenever I wasn't working I would either drink, eat, barely watch TV or I would sit on the internet for long periods of time. On the internet I would look at porn (Come on I'm a healthy guy) or I would go to blogs and talk about different things as the internet is the only place where you can be honest and not have it bite you in the ass, Let's just say the internet's craziness attracts me from time to time as its extreme to a point however tonight I skipped the computer.
I went to my phone and hit the answering machine button with my fist (it's broken and needs force to work) as I grabbed a beer from the small little fridge on the floor, I threw myself on the couch as the answering machine sputtered and choked before getting itself to work.
A cheerful chime sounded and a voice quickly said "You have 2 messages."
"Beep!" "Mr. Tohru for shopping at Junes and being a valuable customer you get 10 percent off of your next purchase at Junes!! Thank you and congratulations!!!"
The excited voice died
"Next message..."
"Hello Adachi this is mommy calling you."
Damn it's her again checking up on me.
"I'm calling to check and see how you're doing as you never much call me anymore since you transferred."
I screwed the cap off the drink and slowly swallowed my beer like it was an elixir.
"I know you won't call me back or you won't today as you're busy but I wanted to tell you I want to talk to you sometime, I want to see how my son is doing and hear his voice."
I pushed myself off the couch and ignored the sick feelings that were coming over me at the sound of her voice.
"I just wanted to say..." Her voice stuttered for a bit...
"Just call me when you get the chance okay bye!"
Her voice died and I heard a click.
"End of messages..."
That's my mom... Always proud...
Just to prove that this was all still real I got up and with beer in hand, walked towards my TV and on my knees put my hand through the TV and watched it swallow my hand whole as it came to life. What was in there, what kind of power was this, and why did somebody like me have it?
I pulled my hand from out of the TV and watched it die and go blank and as if coming back to reality I felt the exhaustion and barely made it to the mattress before I crashed with beer in hand and fell asleep.
I dreamed that night..
I dreamed that I was watching Mayumi running away and crying, she was screaming and shaking all over but I couldn't hear and then all of a sudden her body started to break into pieces and blood started to pour out her eyes, mouth, hands and body until her screams finally could be heard and she choked on blood that was coming out by the gallon out of her mouth and it mixed in with the screams. I tried to turn away and hide my eyes but all I could see was beneath her torn body parts her organs stretched like the telephone pole wires that she hung from and her eyes turned golden yellow before I started to scream.
I woke up and just made it to the toilet before I started to hurl..
