Chapter 1 The Newbie

Thick drops of blood stained the cold street ground of St. Valen. Iris’ nose scrunched in disgust when the metallic smell went up through her nose. The trees danced along with the wind, their gentle rustles were the only sound lingering on the dark empty alley which is a few blocks away to the police station. Whistling while watching a man struggle to run away from her—blood oozing from his shoulder covered with his hand like it can make any difference about it—her rosy thin lips curled a menacing smile while she hides herself in the shadows against the bright moonlight. The man fell to the ground, whimpering like a dog with his shaking eyes trying to see from the dark. “Come on, get up. The police station is almost there, you can do it,” she teases him. A low chuckle escaped her mouth as she watch the vehement fear compel him to lift himself up but his knees stood like bags of water. “P-please! Don’t kill me!” the man pleaded, his whole body q

Chapter 2 Her First Case

  “So, what do we got in here?” Iris asked while scanning the papers neatly piled up on Max’s table. “Well, we got an on-going case right now, this is uh..” Max trailed off in his sentence as he flicks the papers trying to find the total cases of Nightcrawlers. Iris is watching him with amusement in her face. “..case 13” Max clicked his tongue from frustration. “I’m sorry you had to deal with a difficult case for your first job.” Iris snapped from daydreaming. “Oh, I don’t mind, I actually love being thrilled,” she said and lets out a fake laugh. “Really? You must be good then, the Chief does not just put anyone in this case, you know, conflict of interests plus the level of danger, but he said that you were recommended to him by his friend from another department.”

Chapter 3 Eyes and Ears

  Ten minutes. They were late for just ten minutes, and the Nightcrawlers managed to keep Mr. Boller’s mouth shut, forever. “Hey,” Iris nudged Max who was staring outside Mr. Boller’s window. The police came in after they received his call and the forensics have already moved Mr. Boller’s body out of the building. “You okay?” Iris asked, trying hard to sound worried. Max faced her and gave a forced smile. “Yeah, I’m fine. I’m sorry, you must have been scared.” “Don’t get me started,” Iris responded, resting her back against the wall beside the window. “If only,” Max’s voice was full of frustration. “If only we came earlier, we could have saved him and catch those bastards.” He sighed sharply. Sorr

Chapter 4.1 The Murder of the Westons

    “Are you okay?” Iris dropped her hands, and smiled at Max who’s frowning at her.   “Yeah, why? What is it?”   Max looked down on her hands and squinted his eyes.   “What were you trying to put over the cabinet? Let me do it for you,” he said and stepped closer reaching out his hand. Iris stepped back, she was cursing inside her head while struggling to form an excuse.   “Detective Carter!”   The both of them looked back when a police yelled for Max’s name. He quickly ran towards him forgetting all about Iris. She sighed in relief and let the tiny camera float up to the cabinet, positioning it where it will give a view of the entire office. She was looking at Max and the police officer discussing over a paper when she successfully planted the camera.   “What happened?” Selene ran immediately to Max after she succeeded with her age

Chapter 4.2 The Murder of the Westons

    “There are three possibilities behind this photo,” the Chief’s voice echoed on his whole office. Several officers, Max and Iris sat on the couch, all attention gathered to the Chief who was walking back and forth in front of his desk. “First, this woman in the photo did kill the Westons.”   The Chief stopped in front of his desk eyes unfocused and deep in his thoughts. He put both of his hands over the table, leaning to support his balance. “Second, the killer possibly came after her and killed the Westons. And lastly,” the Chief shot a look to Max. “She is an accomplice to the murder.”   Max looked at the bulletin board where they pinned the printed picture of Mr. Weston and the killer. The woman, unfortunately, was standing with her back facing the camera. They could only see her hand with a nude nail polish, a coat covering her body figure, and her dark mid-length hair tied in a ponytail. Sh

Chapter 4.3 Unveiling the Truth

    Iris Dane scoffed which slowly turned into a laugh. She cannot believe what the secretary just said. Ms. Roxanne and Max turned to her when they heard her suppressing her laughter.   “Detective Anderson?” Max called her out, his eyes talking to her to stop her inappropriate action. Iris cleared her throat, her eyes glistening with tears as she tried to hold her laugh.   “I’m sorry,” she said and paused to concentrate on her breathing. “But isn’t funny, that we actually blamed Mr. Weston for having an affair with this woman but it turns out, she was the one having an affair!” she said with so much amusement. The people near the lounge glanced on their way with the sudden raise on her voice.   “Sorry, what??” Ms. Roxanne asked, bewildered by Iris’s statement. Her eyes went back and forth from Max and Iris who’s finding the situation hilarious.   Max frowned at his co-detec

Chapter 5 The Lion's Den

   “Iris!” Iris looked at Max who was running towards her, his eyes roaming around the place. “Did you find Ms. Roxanne?” he asked, catching his breath as he stopped from his little marathon, his eyes were angry. He reached for his phone at his back pocket and called someone, Iris was just staring at him blankly. “Hello? She got away! Surround the area and search for every cars within the vicinity now!” he exclaimed through the phone. He looked back again to Iris. “The killer…” he said, exhaling sharply. “Is Ms. Roxanne! I’m such an idiot!” Iris frowned at him, confused of what he said. Max brought out the picture of Mr. Weston and Roxanne and handed it to Iris. “We had the killer right under our noses! And the proof was freaking staring at me the whole time!” he hissed angrily.

Chapter 6 Victoria Ruiz

   Iris eyed William from afar, he had taken Max away from her. He led him to the stage where a line of lustful women gnawing at Max as he ask them about Victoria. Minutes passed, she jumped off from the bar stool when she saw Max finally walking back to her, face exasperated. “Victoria’s not working here tonight. Apparently, she hadn’t come at work for a week now. But a lot of them attested that the car was an old one and they never saw her use that car for a long time now,” he said, letting out a deep sigh. “So? What are we going to do next?” “The owner,” Max whispered and turned to William who was still at the stage, conversing on the ladies. “He handed me her address, he said to keep it a secret because they don’t disclose information of their employees.” Iris snorted. “And what makes yo

Chapter 7 Meeting the New Sergeant

    Max’s eyes flew open and he immediately jerked himself up. Iris lowered down the newspaper she was reading when she heard the couch creak, shooting a look at the disarrayed man who just woke up from his deep sleep. Max was blinking at her and squinting his eyes.   “What the fart!! Iri-” Max’s scream was cut off and a flying pillow came slamming his face back to the couch.   “Why the hell are you screaming?!” she hissed, glaring at Max. It was only 6:00 in the morning and the sun hasn’t come up yet to take the sleepiness on Iris’ eyes. She stayed up all night fighting the urge to kill Max and throw his body out of their building so she could lay herself at the couch.   Max pulled himself up again and brushed his face aggressively with his hands. “Iris? What the hell are you doing at my house?!” he yelled and yanked himself off the couch. When he tried to walk, his weak knees wobbled at the we

Chapter 8.1 Nipping in the Bud

  “Let’s go. Anderson” Max tapped Iris’ shoulder. She looked up on him with a questioning face.   “We’re going back to Victoria,” he said as he flips the sleeves of his jacket to its right side. Iris sighed and stood up, she looked on her peace lily wondering if William already got rid of Victoria. When two of their members came in last night, she ordered them to bring her body to their hideout. And since there has been no signal for her to hunt and deliver Victoria, she’s assuming that she has been taken care of.   “Get yourself ready, I’m gonna go tell Claire we’re leaving, okay?”   “What?” Max was startled with Iris’ tone of irritation, he turned to her with his eyebrows furrowed.   “I mean, she’s coming with us?” Iris said trying to hide her annoyance.   “Yeah, she needs to. She’s part of this case now too,” Max answered, still weirded out. Iris just bit her lowe
