1 The beginning of the story

I was sitting on the passenger seat just waiting for something to happen.

"So, do we have something to do today?"

"Just patrol around the neighborhood."

"Like every day. You know, I hope to do something more meaningful in the future than patrolling around the neighborhood."

"You need to look at the good part, after a hard day of work patrolling around the neighborhood, you can go home and spend some time with your girlfriend maybe even having some fun if you are a good boy. Oh, yeah, I forgot you are 25 and still doesn't have a girlfriend."

After the remark, Larry gave to me, I raised my middle finger and said a starting soft but ending hard "Fuck you!"

After driving around for a few more minutes we stopped to a red light. I was just looking at the people passing the street in front of me and trying to guess how their day had gone.

Then a fast-moving car came from the right and into a glimpse run over some people crossing the street.

"Fuck… call an ambulance!!" Larry said to me. After he turned on the sirens and started chasing the car that just passed by, me meanwhile I called an ambulance, reinforcement and can feel my heart taking a race to hell and back. 

After a few minutes, we started approaching the car and were exactly behind them, just ready to say something when I felt pure, from the pits of hell to the room where I am judged for my sins, terror and started seeing how the car in front of us came closer and closer until all I could see is black. After a few moments of pure silence, I could hear gunshots and sirens all around me.

"Luke! Get the fuck up from the car its gonna explode!"

I opened my eyes slowly, I was still inside the car and Larry wasn't beside me, after looking around me and trying to sense what's happening I could see and feel in front of me a huge blazing, making my skin peel off, fire.

"I said get away from the car!"

Could be heard from my right. I tried to move but couldn't.

"This is it, I am going to die."

After I said that I could feel a hand grabbing me and pulling me from the car.

"Luke! Look at me"

I turned my head to the direction of the sound, it was Larry.

"What happened?"

"The motherfuckers broke in front of us and made us crash"

"What happened to the driver"

"He survived not like the passenger with him and got shot down after exiting the car"

After that again I fell unconscious and wake up into a room inside a hospital, I couldn't move and called for somebody.

"Hey! is somebody there!?"

Then from the front door, some people that I don't recognize and a familiar face enter the room.

"Larry?"

"Who else could come to visit your sorry ass if not me?"

After I Pause and look directly in Larry's eyes.

"Am I in hell?"

"Did the crash unscrew a few screws from your head?"

"Again, Tell me, I am in hell?"

"Close, you are in the hospital after the crash you have been."

"What's with all the unfamiliar faces"

"They come to talk with you so just answer their questions."

After twenty years.

I was laying on my bed watching some old movies and getting ready to sleep when I got a call from my boss.

"We have a homicide case I will send to you the address, come fast."

"Why this happens always at night before going to sleep, I hate my fucking life!"

After, I got dressed fast, barely found my badge and finally, I put in the gun that saved me numerous times from danger that I may, or not gotten myself into it, into my holster, then ran to my car and off I go to the address he gave me. After arriving at the location I had a feeling that something bad is gonna happen but as duty calls me I entered inside the house, on the first glance everything seemed normal but after climbing the stairs I could feel the metallic smell of blood in the air and searching for a bit I found a police officer outside the door of what seems the bedroom, looking me in my eyes and asked.

"Who gave you permission to be inside?"

I showed my badge to him and asked.

"What happened here?"

"The wife found her husband laying on the bedroom floor with presumably his organs beside him."

"Who could do such things to another human being, what's the name of the victim?"

"Larry Robinson"

"Larry, Larry Robinson? it can't be, I heard he moved and retired somewhere after I became a detective, show me the victim!"

"Inside the bedroom"

As I walked inside, the smell changed to an intense smell of putrification.

"There he is"

As predicted it was Larry's body, once so full of life now laying on the floor.

"Any evidence showing what happened here?"

"No, besides the body and his organs beside it, there's nothing to indicate what happened here.

"Who the hell could have done this to poor Larry."

Night, the same day 

"Ok, no proof of somebody breaking in, the wife with the grandkids were shopping that day with witnesses proving what they say, and I don't think he could have done that to himself." To relax from all this bullshit I went on a walk around my apartment. It was pretty late that night so there weren't many people around, perfect for a walk with the objective of relieving stress. After admiring the sky filled with stars maybe already gone because of the vast distance the light has to travel, a loud gunshot can be heard, then another, and another. I make my way to where the sound was coming from, gun ready pointing in my front. The sound was coming from between two apartment complexes. As I approach the sound, before taking the corner I can hear some grunting noises making my heart stop for a moment.

"What animal could make this horrifying, mind, and body melting sound."

Then ready to find a lion that escaped from the zoo, I take the corner. A ray of light with the intensity of a new bulb placed in front of your face hits my eye making me blind for a few moments. After a loud screeching sound making my eardrums to dance inside my ears can be heard. My blindness goes away and can see.

To be continued.
