Lance's P.O.V

Chaos. That's all I've been told to deal with, even if it's my job; the same as my younger sister, Adele. Then, she disappeared. I found out where she's gone, but it's gonna be hard to get her back. The mafia and law enforcers don't see eye to eye. One of the members probably caught snooping into their business that they obviously didn't like so they took her. I asked the chief if I could go investigate alone. He was hesitant but due to my track record, he said yes.

The only thing left to do now is change my identity, a little bit of my appearance and keep a low profile. They might frisk me so I'll have to keep my badge at home. I can't let them know that I'm looking for my sister or else this entire mission will go up in smoke.

"Lance." the chief's voice called out from behind. "Here's your card."

"Thanks, chief."

"I may not like this idea, but I wish you luck. I'm hoping for your success, because if not, then the entire police department loses two of my best cops."

"I promise we will come back safely."

"I'll hold you to that, and good luck, again."

I turned in about face and walked off to go change my entire appearance. I go to the store to buy red hair dye and bleach, go home to dye my hair from black to crimson red. I go to my optometrist to get colored contacts, changing my eyes from green to brown, which gives it a hazel look. I then get dressed into a casual yet formal outfit. A gray zip-up hoodie albeit unzipped, a red V-neck T-shirt underneath, and black jeans. Feeling confident in my appearance, I leave the house at the crack of midnight, driving around the city to find the mafia syndicate that not only took my sister, but also caused some major gang/police violence that ended with a number of police casualties. I'm the only officer with the balls to complete this risky mission, one that will forever change my life.

Tobias's P.O.V

There are times where I think to myself about all the events that happened ever since I became boss. So many people died 3 years ago because SOMEBODY decided to start random shit with police and so there was a huge bloodbath between the mafia and law enforcement. My dad ended up being one of the few that died, and because of that, I became the boss. My brother wanted to become the head haunch of the mafia but I'm the older one, and the rules state that if the boss dies, it is the duty of the eldest son of the leader to become the next leader.

To be honest, I hate being in charge. Although it does have its perks, it tends to get boring. Then I find out that we got a cop in custody, a female cop at that. I have to know what she's up to or else she's gonna pay with her life. My brother deals with the interrogations, and if they don't spill the beans, he kills them. I understand he does so to keep the mafia secret from the public, but killing whoever doesn't talk is blowing our cover. It paints blood on my hands because I'm the boss, but I can change the rules as long as it doesn't break our moral code.

Instead of my brother interrogating the cop, I go in to find out what I can. I pull up a chair and remove the blindfold from her face. She gives me a dirty look and yells, "Let me go!"

"I won't unless you tell me what you're doing snooping around in our business. If you don't cooperate, you'll be dead, and I won't be the one to pull the trigger."

"And the blood will be on your hands."

"I can live with that. So are you gonna talk?"
