Chapter 1: The City... *Lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers*
As the sunset bowed to its final appearance as the view was its stage...so my life felt that way....
As my violet eyes scanned the horizon, the city once my haven, now my grave...
My hand, frozen on the trigger switch of the Magnum I now held to my head...
A drop of sweat rolled down my face, past my brow and eyes, and hit the cold concrete room top floor...
That's what my life had been, starting out as a little boil of sweat on God's forehead, and slowly, event by event, rolling off the Almighty One's cheek as if he couldn't care less...
Does God really exist? Was it this fucked up life he planned for ME!?!?
Angrily, I grimaced, then an image popped in my head...
It was her...the only salvation my life ever had...
I reached out my hand to grab the vision, but it disappeared without much as a tear...
but that's exactly what rolled down from my eyes to the ground...
Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner Sometimes I feel like my only friend Is the city I live in, the city of angels...
The beautiful city, now going to hell...yep this is all God's plan...I said as my gun hand shook a little...
Lonely as I am, together we cry...
The Magnum fell with a clunk, as I buried my blonde and red hair and face into my hands and began sobbing...
I drive on her streets cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills cause she knows who I am She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy I never worry, now that is a lie...
Then I found myself moving towards the building's edge, overlooking a highway...as I stood on the edge I began to ponder quietly...about the day she died...
Well, I don't ever want to FEEL like I did that day... Take me to the place I LOVE; take me all the way...
It had all happened so violently...my body started to tremble with sadness...
I don't ever want to FEEL like I did that day Take me to the place I LOVE; take me all the way, yeah, yeah, yeah...
I knew there was only one way out of this madness...and then Ill be together with you again Tea...I collected all my strength, and plunged into the air...as I fell, it seemed endless, and partly relieved of all the angst in my life, of all the murders, humiliation, and loss...I thought about what life I could have had...
It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there It's hard to believe that I'm all alone... At least I have her love, the city she loves me Lonely as I am, together we cry...
Tears whipped behind me as I feel towards the City, my grave...thinking about the un-born son I would have had...
Well, I don't ever want to FEEL like I did that day Take me to the place I LOVE, take me all the way Well, I don't ever want to FEEL like I did that day Take me to the place I LOVE; take me all the way, yeah, yeah, yeah...

An Hour later, the police arrive...sirens screech as a caution line is drawn around the area of the crime scene.
As the humid summer sun began to fade into the night, the police announce Yugi Motou, 18, Dead on Arrival.
The only things they could find were his broken corpse, and a broken picture frame...
Inside it was the picture of Yugi, and a young girl his age...very much in love...
To understand the present situation, you must go back 2 months ago...to where it all began...
As we leave this scene of horror, as the community mourns one of their own, we return to the past...to a very sad day...a day that would decide the fate of one boy...one man...
