The drops of water hit the surface of the transparent glass that night of stormy skies, the silence swept the neighborhood of that old apartment and brought a melancholy atmosphere to the eyes of foreigners who passed through the city. The muffled noises of a female voice were heard from the kitchen of the old apartment, the voice echoing off the walls painted in beige paint throughout the storm that followed.

A young woman with a short haircut and dark color in her strands, white skin with freckles, brownish eyes, with a thin body that locks only a yellow shirt with a black bat symbol that went up to her knees had a cell phone in hands. She seemed excited when talking to another young woman on the other end of the phone, however, one of them was not happy.

- I still think it's a very bad idea, Maps. You know how Dave doesn't like you, if you accept this promotion for another sector, you will be colleagues!-Exclaimed the young Silverlock with nervousness in her words, she did not like the idea of her best friend fighting with her former supervisor.

- Don't worry, Oli. I'm going to make sure Dave doesn't bother me, but do you know that apartment we visited in our last year at Gotham Academy? - Asked the young Mizoguchi, trying to change the subject, she was not comfortable remembering that she would work in the same environment with a high-level asshole.

- Yes, I remember that place very well. Are you running away from that, do you really think you'll be able to live with him for nine hours straight? - Young Silverlock remembered the nearby apartment they visited to investigate, she still felt chills when she remembered that night.

- I managed to talk to the owner of the apartment, he had renovated the place 3 months ago and had a couple living there. However, they ended up discovering that the apartment was used by a serial killer for three years in a row to hide the bodies, they found bones in their basement.- The young Mizoguchi started with a lively tone of voice, she didn't care about the macabre facts, she liked stories like that.

- My god, there were still skeletal remains there !? How many victims were found? - Asked young Silverlock with horror in her words, she couldn't imagine the terror of finding the bones of victims of a serial killer at home.

- Only three victims who were missing from the last police investigation. Anyway, the couple ended up being disturbed by what happened and decided to move immediately, nobody wants to live there after the news spread through Gotham.- The young Mizoguchi continued with an increasingly lively tone of voice, her brown eyes shining with joy.- I talked to the owner and he decided to sell the apartment at an absurdly reduced price for me, Oli, the apartment is already furnished!

- You're kidding, aren't you? That apartment was the scene of brutal murders and the killing of bodies, don't buy it!- Exclaimed the young Silverlock with incredulity in her words, she did not believe that her best friend was thinking of doing this madness.

- Too late, Olive. I've been living in it for three days, it's not bad.- The young Mizoguchi revealed with tranquility in her words, she was not afraid of crime scenes.

- Maps, were you crazy ?! This place is close to the crime alley, you can be mugged, or murdered! - Tried to argue the young Silverlock by cell phone, but her best friend just rolled her eyes and hung up after realizing she had forgotten her dinner at the counter.

The young woman with the short hair turned her attention again to the surface of the marble counter, a white plate with a large portion of Mac & Cheese on the cheap porcelain. In the past few weeks Mac & Cheese have been her only meal, the young woman has been unable to buy anything else to eat since she will begin an investigation into one of Gotham police's closed cases.

Bodies with grotesque bite marks were found during the time that Gotham's dark knight had disappeared, a time marked by high crime and lack of faith. The newspapers did not explain much about the investigation of this case, after a month of investigation the case was closed, the police alleged lack of evidence that incriminated any individual.

She remembered that she had been indignant at the lack of attention from the police, the young woman, who was only eighteen years old, created a hitotese that a serial killer was out in the city and that those bites were his signatures. But her parents always shut her up and told her to trust the police in her city, it was always the same excuse, a wild animal had attacked these victims.

Leaving her thoughts, the young woman took the plate in her hands and sat on the marble surface of the counter, her meal was cold. She picked up her fork and began her reifeition, her tongue begged for another flavor that did not make she sick.
