"So, what's the case about?" Allison inquired, her sharp gaze fixed on Zed, who sat across from her, the sunlight from the tall windows casting shadows across his tense expression.

Zed leaned forward, planting both hands firmly on the desk between them.

"Last night, one of my employees broke into Eclipse Industries and destroyed several vehicles. He acted out of revenge—it was all a terrible misunderstanding that spiraled out of control. Now Mr. Damien is demanding retribution. He's already asked me to cover the cost of the damages, and he wants the perpetrator behind bars." Zed's voice was firm, steady, but his eyes betrayed the weight pressing on his shoulders.

Allison tilted her head slightly, lips pursed in thought. "I see. And I hope you didn't talk to anyone else before calling me?"

Zed leaned back in his chair and scratched the back of his head, his silence giving her the answer she expected.

"You've already spoken to the police, haven't you?" she asked, one eyebrow rising in a

  • They are all dead

    The masked men emerged from the building with the hostages, leading them briskly toward the black truck parked just outside. "Get in!" one of the masked men barked, yanking the truck’s side door open. One by one, the hostages hesitantly climbed into the vehicle.“The truck isn’t big enough to contain all of them, sir,” one of the men called out after a brief count.The leader paused, his mind racing for a solution. His eyes scanned the surroundings—and then he spotted them.A row of high-end Platinum cars, sleek and glistening under the parking lot lights, lined up like prizes on display.“Well, that should solve our problem,” he muttered with a smirk. Without wasting another second, he strode toward one of the vehicles, Steve still slumped unconscious over his shoulder. “Oh? The key is here too,” he chuckled, noticing the remote fob hanging on the side mirror. He plucked it with ease and unlocked the door.With a quick flick of his wrist, he opened the car door and dumped Steve unce

  • When Zed's not home

    The two masked men ascended the staircase without hesitation after receiving their leader’s command. Their boots pounded against the steps with steady determination as they climbed toward the top floor, where Zed Zimmerman's office was located. The journey up felt tense and silent, the air thick with the weight of potential violence.At last, they reached the top floor. The hallway was quiet—eerily so. The office door stood at the end like a sentinel waiting to be breached. Zed’s office was the first thing they spotted, its polished nameplate still gleaming under the ceiling lights. Without exchanging a word, the two men immediately advanced, weapons clutched tightly in both hands, their fingers hovering over the triggers, eyes narrowed with sharp vigilance as they scanned every inch of their surroundings.They halted in front of the door. A brief exchange of glances passed between them—an unspoken agreement—before one of them raised his boot and drove it hard into the door.BANG!The

  • Death for Leverage

    “Turn around and get out of here! Once you’re gone, I’ll let him go,” Steve bellowed, his voice echoing through the large, cold room. “Take one more step forward, and I swear I’ll kill him! You said I’m not a killer—seems you’ve already forgotten how I took down a few of your men downstairs.”The leader cocked his head, unmoved by the threat. “And what do you think happens when you kill him?” he asked, his voice steady and calculating. “You die. There's no way we’re letting you walk out of here after that.”Steve swallowed hard. His throat was dry, and his grip on the gun began to tremble. He clenched it tighter, willing his hand to stay steady. Cold sweat trickled down the side of his face.“Drop the gun, man. Let’s talk. You don’t have to die like this,” the leader continued, tone shifting into something almost resembling sympathy. “Like I said—we’re only here for one man. Zed Zimmerman. I know he’s hiding up there with the rest of the workers. Bring him to us, and no one else has t

  • Trigger point

    Steve felt someone grab his right leg from behind, and before he could react, the figure yanked him backward with brutal force. He lost his balance and tumbled down the staircase, rolling violently alongside the masked man who had pulled him down. Both of their weapons flew out of reach during the fall. The chaos ended with a heavy thud as their bodies slammed onto the landing."Ugh..." Steve grunted, wincing in pain as he lay sprawled on the floor. His right hand instinctively clutched his ribs, his teeth clenched tightly to keep from crying out.The masked man was quicker to recover. He sprang to his feet almost effortlessly, as though the tumble had barely affected him. His eyes darted toward the pistol he’d dropped on the floor. Without hesitation, he began moving toward it.Steve saw the man’s intent and his heart skipped a beat. Eyes wide with urgency, he forced himself upright and charged forward, ignoring the pain in his ribs. As the masked man bent down to reclaim his gun, St

  • No warning, only death

    Sanders stood silently inside the elevator, her arms folded tightly across her chest, her face devoid of all emotion.Ding!A soft chime echoed through the narrow space a few moments later as the elevator reached its destination. The doors slid open with a mechanical hiss. Without hesitation, she stepped out with a measured, almost regal gait. The doors closed behind her with a metallic thud, sealing off the chaos below.Her eyes shifted toward the wall beside her, locking onto a red emergency power switch. It was one of the main control switches that regulated the company's power grid. Flipping it would either plunge the entire building into darkness or restore its energy—depending on its current state.She moved towards it with determined steps. Without a moment’s hesitation, she reached out with her right hand and gripped the switch. A deep breath escaped her lips before she yanked it down with force.Immediately, the overhead light bulbs began to flicker erratically. Sparks danced

  • Platinum bloodbath

    Steve leaned behind the counter, panicking. His heart pounded violently in his chest, and cold sweat trickled down his face. He swallowed hard before taking a quick peek, and when he did, his eyes widened in sheer terror. Lying on the floor were several of his co-workers. They were all sprawled out in a pool of blood, and the entire floor was covered with shattered fragments of the glass entrance door, which had been blown to pieces by gunfire.He shifted his gaze to the side and spotted the rest of the surviving co-workers who had managed to take cover just before the shooting began. Each of them was trembling in fear, their faces drenched in sweat, eyes wide and unblinking. Their minds raced, trying to comprehend who these men were and why this was happening.Were they robbers?But something didn’t add up. Robbers wouldn’t just show up and immediately start shooting. Even armed criminals typically demanded something first—money, valuables, access. They only resorted to violence when
