• “Today Mrs. Galiea of the head of Galiea Mob family has been confirmed as the thirty-second victim of the Hiloway Vampire.” officer McCullen, says out loud to his partner beside him. “The news always takes things out of context.” officer Aluan says has he drinks his coffee and stares out into the distance in front of the patrol car. There is nothing but an empty street in the darkness of night. Steam rising from the streets as the heat from the sewers hits the cold air of the January night. “Well who ever or whatever this is it is helping to make our lives easier. Less mobs to fight over for protection money the more we can make.” McCulllen says chuckling as he folds the paper up and places it beside him. “Speaking of, we should go see if that ching-chong has our money.” McCullen says as he starts the patrol car and then as the engine starts a large mass hits the front of the vehicle with a loud crash smashing the window out and startling the men inside the car. Swiftly McCullen and Aluan jump from the car and swiftly check the mass that has landed on their car. “What the hell?! A jumper?!” McCullen yells as he looks up towards the buildings above them and then back at the man who now lay bleeding on the hood of the patrol car.

    Aluan moves to the body and turns it over and checks the pulse and as he moves his hand he sees on the man's chest a police badge and grabs his Mic and begins to yell “Officer down!! We have an officer down on Harbinger ave!! Possible suicide!!” and he quickly runs to his car to grab road flares. Aluan turns shoves his body into the passenger side of the car and then suddenly he hears a loud crunch and pain shoots abruptly and violently through his body and he falls down and starts to scream when a hand shoots from the unnatural darkness and grips his jaw and swiftly crushes it. He hears heavy breathing from in front of him and then he hears it as it smells his face. Then he feels it as it licks the blood rushing from his jaw and then he feels extreme pain run through him as it slowly bites him, chuckling under it's breath as it slowly crushes Aluan's throat and then everything starts to blur as the thing pulls back and looks into Aluan's eyes. Upon it's deformed and mutilated face he sees what appears to be a smile. It's teeth covered in blood and it's eyes as dark as space and then with a loud snap Aluan sees nothing but darkness. “Last night we lost three of our best officers.” boomed the voice of the mayor and president of the world from the TV sets beside the gruesome scene, “Today is a day of mourning in Hiloway City and across the world.”

    “Hiloway City, a utopia and the capital of the world. A perfect place to live. What a load of s**t.” Detective Marceu says as he watches the bodies of the officers being thrown bodily into a white van by men in black suits. “
