Chapter 3 :"Breathe in deep and cleanse away our sins and we 'll pray that there 's no God…"

Javier's murderer could not be found. After a week of investigating the case was all but forgotten, the evidence lost somewhere in the evidence room. The populace and the mass medium seemed only relieved that the drug nobleman wasn't around anymore but unconcerned about the hypothesis that whoever did it wanted to wipe out the competition or start a drug war. Immediate risk was all they ever feared. soul only ever cared about the now because that's all they ever really had. A quick fix was what they wanted so that they could turn back to their political party and frivolous disbursal and oblivious laugh. for certain, Dane enjoyed a good clip as well –a nether region of a proficient time- but he'd always been eager to eliminate the danger thoroughly so that he didn't have to turn over back to the like routine every workweek. Sometimes he wondered why he donated so much of his immortal life to protect the mortals who only lived to be about fourscore geezerhood old though so many permissive waste it with drug addiction and STDs. He sighed. It was because that was the beauty of mortality ; the now was so much more exonerative than the then. They live passionately in everything they do.


Dane, however, had only one passion, and that was to form for certain they could live as passionately as they could while they were here. And his means of doing so was through the police force out, as infuriatingly sleeveless as it was. Inevitably, his intellect wandered back to the deep female he encountered over a calendar week ago. It was hard to keep his thoughts far away from her for any prolonged time period of time, and admittedly, he thought of her every hour of every day spent without her. Focusing on the petty pillow slip that needed his attention was a hard job when all he could learn in his psyche was the auditory sensation of her breathy moans rising to animalistic shrieks of passion, but not from their erotic session in the club, from the wild dreams that left him sweating every Night that workweek. Dane was growing impatient and short-tempered which was all too easily noticed by Will. He would often meet a put forward brow or a thoughtful grunt from his married person, but never a verbal interrogative sentence of sanity.

They had been spouse for almost two years now and during the unhurt time Will just seemed to be quiet and watchful for the most part when he wasn't light-hearted and playful. As contradictory as it seemed, volition just managed to be both. The old man could always tell the departure between a grinning and a half-smirk with Dane, and now as he sat at the desk beside him, Will cleared his throat to inculpate the question"What's going on, kid ?"Dane sighed with frustration.

"I met someone,"he said in a small utterance.

"Really, and she's got you this worked up ?"testament responded. He looked pointedly at Dane's fidgeting paw spinning a pen endlessly between ungratified fingers, briefly pausing every ten seconds to click the object a dozen time before repeating the action. This on top of a jittering left leg that just couldn't stay still.

"I'm a little upset you'll jump out the window to fly to her, kid."A hearty jest exploded from his chest, which startled Dane a bit, causing him to jump a bit and sent the pen flying straight up in a series of somersaulting just to be caught in a powerful fist. The chief, Hadrian Bolton, stood beside Dane's desk twirling the writing tool in his bridge player in the Same mode as the offspring detective.

"What seems to be the garboil, gentlemen ?"asked Chief Bolton. will's laughter subdued but his amusement stayed present, however, Dane grew still and did his best to be submerged in the stack of files that he'd been shirking for the past minute. The chief kept his regard on the pen in his hand and waited for a response. Finally, Will answered,"Dane here met someone, and I've got to say, she must be something to reach him sweat like a sinner in church !"He bellowed again. The entire precinct stopped to stare in their counselling now. Dane sunk his head low and cursed quietly to himself.

"Quiet, old man !"he hissed. This made the man laugh softly even more, but at to the lowest degree the coarse hollo had ceased. Chief Bolton remained immune to the witticism in Dane's schoolboy crush.

"Well Dane if you're through fantasizing about your new playmate, I'd like to babble out to you in my office about a job opportunity."Dane perked up curiously.


"What kind of opportunity ?"Adrian smiled. That smile always made Dane find a few degrees colder than usual.

"One that we hope will grant you to explore new branches of judge and further your knowledge of the human race around you."

"We ?"Dane questioned.

"On behalf of myself and the group of other young men selected."

"So I guess I'll just sit here and staple fiber dickhead together then,"chimed in Will. Dane smirked and rose from his seat to follow Hadrian into his office. Chief Bolton closed the door behind him and took a derriere behind the generic wood desk decorated with nil but a screen background figurer and a placard that read"Chief Adrian Bolton"in all capitalized alphabetic character. Dane sat across from him and tried not to receipt the fact that there was nothing personal about this room whatsoever. There were no word-painting of mob members, pets, or even international destinations to be explored after retiring. It wouldn't have been so galling if the man had just transferred here but he'd been here at least five years. volition wrote him off to be a very common soldier man, but Dane just thought it was creepy.


"Dane Argent,"he started,"you're our new, most dedicated detective who I believe would be double-dyed for this governing body. With the right education, you could even be your top man."Dane sat looking a bit stupefied before he gathered his learning ability.

"So what do you roast do at this governing body ?"he asked.

"We focus on the improvement of society in both the civilian and political circles by eradicating the danger that lurk behind the façade of effortless mortality."Dane was not fazed and could perceive clearly that he was talking about killing beings of the traditional knowledge ; Creatures that lived among the humans to live on out their lives without the scrutiny and concern of those who simply did not empathize. He knew that some were dangerous and got their kicks out of the suffering of weaker beings, but those were few and far between that there was no need for toilsome forces. However, the bit of traditional knowledge creatures living in cinder urban center was growing every yr and from what Adrian Bolton was implementing, this governing body was looking to exterminate every last one of them. Even himself if they ever found out that he was of the traditional knowledge, but even he couldn't number out what he was, or find any beast like him. Even so, he didn't want anything to do with this obliteration task and wondered what sort of history Adrian had with the lore.

Without skipping a beat, Dane responded,"No, thanks."Publius Aelius Hadrianus managed to hide his letdown well but a musculus in his jaw ticked slightly in reception.

"You haven't even asked why this organization exists or why I'm asking you to join it,"he said calmly, but clearly rag. Dane raised a eyebrow and sat back in his derriere, beckoning his political boss to continue. Hadrian eyed him for a moment and started again,"Two years ago, a case opened up about a little girl who was kidnapped on her way home base from schooling. The girl, Emily Mike Tyson, was only six years old and had ambition of becoming a ballerina. Police searched for daylight for little Emily and they finally found her coldness and starving in the subway public convenience. She was lost in the subway burrow and eventually found her way back to the open."

"During her days in the tunnels, her kidnapper abandoned her and left her in the burrow to be sacrificed to tool that fed on the physique of humans. She escaped from them and was returned to her worrisome parents in the upper-middle stratum. Within a day of her return, she brutally attacked her parents and ate her founder alive. She had already eaten the entire lower half and the arms of her mother's live body when the police raided the household. The men opened ardour but they were frozen where they stood and were slowly consumed one by one, leaving her mother who bled to decease in Cinder city General infirmary. Wendigos ; they always start with the hands."

Dane looked nauseously at his own hand."Why are you telling me this ?"

"Because the citizenry of Cinder urban center are not condom, nor will they ever be until every last monster of nature is destroyed. There was no one there with the proper training to buck down a esurient wendigo before it killed its parents and men with mob. This city needs someone who has the guts to pull up the trigger for the sake of those ineffectual to defend themselves. Now, I know this may be a lot to submit in –many people can't handle the idea that there are more dangerous matter out there than the perverted, psychotic person ice cream man selling rohypnol flavored ice emollient to their kids- but you're a impregnable young man who I know can rise up to the occasion to make a difference in the lives of the innocent. Think about it, kid. This city needs you."With that, the chief swiveled his president around to front the windowpane, leaving the conversation for Dane to exit silently. As he reached the door, Edgar Douglas Adrian quickly added,"Be surely not to let anyone recognise of the conversation we had here, and close the door on your way out."

Dane did as instructed and continued on silently .
