Author's note:

Thanx for the review guys! Although just one :) I used your tips and corrected my punctuations. Sorry about that! Must have really felt bad reading stories without grammer :D. sorry again! I used some tips from BG2 and an unknown reviewer. but what I don't understand is this: you keep telling me to use preasent tenses, but most of the fanfic's I read had PAST tenses in them! Even my novels have them! Really confused on that one.

Chapter 2:

The following day,

"So, what's new in the 'Christopher Brian' case?" asked the Lieutenant

"What do you think?" said Detective Darrel Albrecht.

"I dunno, what have you got?"

"sigh The body have been buried. But I don't think we need anything to do with the body now."

"You let the body GO?!"

"We don't need it anymore!"

"Yeah right! Anyway, what do we know other than the body?"

"We know that he had been mugged. And in the encounter, Brian was killed."

"Other than that? Any enemies?"

"Christopher Brian worked at a fast food restaurant. No he doesn't have an enemy."

"So how to get to the killer now?"

" . . . Think I have a source"

Sitting on top of a fire escape stairwell, was none other than The Crow.

"So you've finally agreed that I'm smarter than you yea Albrecht?"

"How did you know I'm here to ask you for your help?"

"Lucky guess."

"Okay so wanna help the guys in blue again?"

"You mean you don't you?"

" Well . . . yeah"

The Crow smiled a smile, which was not dangerous, but could shake the legs of many.

"So what's up?"

"Christopher Brian, born 1970 death 2002. Ring a bell?"

"Never heard."

"Guy was killed in some alleyway, relatives wanna find out who did it."

"Mugged?"

"Yeah."

"I'll see what I can do. Don't got stuff to do these days anyway."

"What happened with the band?"

"Timing out."

"Yeah, well you just stick to the case and lemme know what you can find 'kay?"

Darrel was looking at the ground but when he did turn to face him. The Crow had already flown the cope.

Location: Pawn Shop

That night, The Crow, Eric Draven, went back to the Pawn- shop on which he had his first clue long ago. But tonight, he went there for a whole other reason . . .

Knock. Knock. Knock three slow knocks on the closed door's window.

"Get lost MORON! We're closed." Shouted the owner of the shop, not knowing who might have returned.

"Change your hours." Came the reply.

The owner took no time in remembering that voice and figure.

"Hhh . . . hhow . . . how can I help you sir?" Gasped out the fear stricken owner.

"Open this door . . . or I might break it again." Threatened the voice. The owner hurriedly opened the door.

"Looks like someone re-decorated." Teased the lost soul.

"What do you want from me? I . . . I promise I . . . stopped buying from Shopping Network! Even decided to . . . to close this damn shop! These are my last supplies! Really!"

"Relax. I'm not here to take your life, just came to ask about someone else's"

"Wh . . . who?"

"Christopher Brian, was murdered in that alley" The Crow pointed out the window "Looks prettty visual to me" he finished.

"Oh him." the owner cleared his throat.

"Cops came by yesterday saying the same thing. Said the guy worked at O' Haley's, like their stuff, a bit too salty but their fries are . . ."

"Tell me about the man. What do you know?"

"Yeah . . . the cop's said that too! The guy was . . ." Just when the owner was about to finish his sentence . . . the front door behind the two souls busted open. As a zig – zagging figure, similar to Crow's. It spoke out.

"I'm looking for an electric guitar, something in a 6 string " The Crow hardly spat out in shock "You're a crow too?" The figure stepped into the light and yes indeed. He did have two black stripes crossing down his red-evil dead eyes. A crow was also sitting on this man's shoulder.

"Am I? Am I one of the so called 'crows'?" He started to laugh maniacally "The truth is . . . YES!" The evil soul grabbed Crow by the collar blocking him against a wall. " . . . And a very powerful one, hell a lot more powerful than you m'boy."

"Go to hell"

"Been there, done that" The evil soul released the collar and proceeded on doing a round-hose kick. It missed. But instead, stuck its foot in the wall.

"Better make plans on returning back bro!" The Crow mocked at it and did a low-round-hose kick of his own, hitting its lower ribs. The impact did enough damage for the evil soul to step back a few steps.

Now, both crows stood there nose to nose.

"I'm not just a crow you know" The evil one started, it opened its teeth as if posing for a photo shoot. It was revealed. This mysterious creature of the night had not only the abilities of a Crow, but also, two-side tooth which were sharp as a Dracula's.

"I am a Vampire – Crow"
