The Ink Of The Bull
Detective Gideon walked into his office, then dropped his jacket on the desk before sitting down. Beside him was Clara, his colleague, who was appointed to him by his superior to partake in the current investigation that was linked to a recent bank robbery case that led to the death of two people. Clara swiftly turned as she noticed Gideon’s presence. “Thank goodness you are back. I wanted to share something impactful with you about the recent findings I did concerning the case.” Gideon stood from the chair he was seated in and walked up to Clara. “What is it you have discovered?” Clara then pointed her fingers to a board hung on the wall in front of them pinned with different pictures of scenes that had occurred concerning the investigation, including pictures from the CCTV cameras, and the victims who had been conflicted, adding clues that would lead them to the main suspect involved in the crimes. Gideon gazed at the picture shown to him by Clara, then shifted his gaze to her.
The Hunt Begins
She sighed, then placed her hands on her forehead before shaking it. “He has no chances of survival in this; the Black Bull cartels are dangerous. Countless officers had tried to get hold of them but failed, leading many of our men to their early graves.” Clara then walked to a chair and sat. “Though I warned him, he’s on his own now.” Gideon held his bag, which contained the evidence he needed to track down the black Bull cartels and finally bring them to justice. He got to his car and drove to his apartment. After bringing out everything he had put in his bag, he arranged them on the desk in his living room, staring at them. The reason Gideon was so persistent and genuinely interested in the case was because of a woman whose husband was killed in the recent incident. The woman begged him to do whatever it took to make sure the killers of her husband were brought to justice. Apart from that, part of the reason Gideon could put his life on the line for his job was because of what h
Into The Dark
She didn’t even know what kind of job Gideon was requesting, and she had already agreed. Gideon thought as much. Gideon pulled out the spray looking more like a perfume on a glass slightly transparent case from his coat and handed it over to the woman. He then pointed his fingers toward the elevator where the men stood. “I want you to get over there and spray those men with this perfume I’ve given to you.” The woman slightly raised a brow, then chuckled before letting out a smirk from her lips. “I understand what you are trying to do; you want to cause a fight in the club, right? Hehe, well, that would be fun.” It was obvious that the woman was drunk. She then stood from the sofa she was seated on. She stretches her hands towards Gideon. “You well know how it’s done; how much will you pay?” Gideon needed the woman; he knew the men guiding the elevator wouldn’t suspect, and because she was a female, they wouldn’t take her actions personally. Gideon dug his hands deep into his pock
Sins Of The Father
Gideon swiftly adjusted his coat before stepping forward. “How did you know of my coming?” “Hehe,” the cartel boss laughed before standing up. “I know of every single thing that’s happening in this city. The mistake you made was ever pushing forward in this investigation after fully knowing my men were behind it.” Gideon didn’t flinch at the threat the cartel boss was throwing at him. He casually smirked before replying. “I’m a police officer, so what did you expect? I’m doing my job.” The cartel boss chuckled. “Hmmm, that’s fascinating. I’m impressed. It’s nice that you are accepting your death willingly and proudly.” Gideon has only one task to get done tonight. If he does it successfully, he won’t only fix one of the disturbing crime problems in the city but will also be a hero because the cartel boss he was facing now has a bounty on his head, dead or alive. “What makes you think you can kill me? Anyways, I’m not here to take you down only; I’m also here to confirm if you are

Gideon kept hearing the mechanical voice ringing inside his head before his eyes gradually rolled open. Before him was the translucent screen floating midair, with the words he had just heard in his mind in text form displayed across the screen. Neither did Gideon understand what it meant. Gideon gently stood from the ground, but where he was currently was a fundamentally different place, a deep and dense forest, a place he had never been
A Ghost In The City
It was then that Gideon fully realised he had been dead all this while, and the clothes he was previously wearing, which were already decaying, were all real, not his hallucination. Gideon’s eyes widened as he asked, “You mean I have been dead for three years?” Clara began to mumble words in her mouth, as if already getting mental. “No, this can’t be possible. I saw him die.” Not quite long, the news spread across the department that Gideon was alive. His superior, Mr Muzan, rushed into Gideon’s office, and the moment he saw him, he froze. Muzan was a very close friend to Gideon despised he was his superior, though he was older than Gideon, and a very skilful and intelligent man. His intellect in the aspect of solving cases is unmatched by any. He went over to Gideon and softly held his hands. “I’m I hallucinating, or is this real?” Gideon stared at Muzan, but then he hugged him. Muzan had so many questions to ask, and so he invited Gideon to his office. Gideon sat on the chair
Unatural Strength
The man stared at what was happening; he was speechless, and in that moment he let go of the gun he was gripping tight, and it fell to the ground. The man dropped to his knees and at that moment he began to beg. “Please don’t kill me.” After the mutation that had happened, about fifteen years ago. Most humans weren’t affected, and the few humans who were affected in the city were seen as gods and feared. The man currently sees Gideon as one of them because he knows that death is for sure for him after making the careless move of pulling the trigger. Gideon was stunned as to what had just happened. “Dope, that means I have gotten a superpower.” The thought rumbled inside his mind as he thought about it. Gideon wasn’t a mutant; he wasn’t impacted by the chemical pollution outbreak that had occurred years back, so what had just happened to him startled him because he knew only mutants were capable of doing something of the sort. Gideon was confused; he touched his chest before looki
Shadow In The Apartment
Muzan still couldn't let himself believe what Gideon had told him about what had happened to him; he had assumed and finalized that Gideon must have probably faked his death.Gideon walked out of the headquarters to a new place he had rented. Though after his demise, his money was still intact in his accounts.He opened the door to the apartment and went in, but soon noticed some things that weren't right: the place where he had kept some papers and other things he used for his investigation was slightly shifted from where he had previously dropped them, as though someone had tampered with them.And with thoughtful words he muttered under his breath, “There's no doubt, someone must have come here.”Gideon was very sensitive to his environment, especially to things he valued like his belongings, and he knew the exact way he had kept the documents before leaving the house early today, when he rented it, which is clear evidence that someone must have come, but the question remains, what
Tracy Of The Past
Gideon went over to the man who had self-destructed, and the detective's night vision scanned the black bull tattoo on his wrist. After scanning it, it gave an indication for Gideon to retrieve the man's watch. The detective's night vision was as though Gideon was putting on mechanical glasses; it could scan objects, showing whether they could be used for investigation or not, and the watch, which was indicated for Gideon to retrieve, was embedded with the button that self-destructed the man, which means Gideon could use it as a track in getting to the cartel boss. Gideon slightly bent, then picked up the wristwatch and slid it into his pocket. He went over to the document he was in possession of and slipped it into his bag before heading out of the apartment. Before getting on his bike, he pulled out his phone and dialed Muzan's number before placing a call. “Hello, sir, I was attacked by black bull men. Can you assign some police to come get rid of the men in my new apartment?”
