Chapter 9 - "One, two or various?

In a police station, underground, a fight breaks out. 20 chairs around a large table with papers scattered around, of these 20 chairs only 5 were occupied, two men were arguing fiercely,

-What part didn't you understand, you son of a bitch!

The old, gray-haired man pounded the table with great force.

The man in front of him laughed in his face, while running his hand through his hair.

-Do you want me to draw? -Ri in a mocking tone.

-But what the fuck, you're going to argue until when?-The blonde-haired woman grumbles. -Sinval, Lucas, be men.

-Stay in your baranga-Sinval grumbles.

The woman stands up, ready to rip the man's beard off.

-Stop acting like children, get back to the point.

With just one sentence, everyone calms down. Lucas takes the lead and begins.

-As I said, we have to stop hiding from the media and talk about this murderer. -He is interrupted.

-I said no! If we do that, the city will panic, people will lose confidence in the police, and it will tarnish the honor of our city, which is said to be the most peaceful!

Lucas points his finger in your face and starts talking.

-Don't give me that, you son of a bitch, you just don't want anyone to know about the killer because it would hurt your business, and you'd lose a lot of profit.

Sinval is about to jump out and attack Lucas at any moment.

-Human lives are more important than profit! So we need to warn everyone to protect themselves.

Sinval stands up and grabs the collar of Lucas's shirt and pulls.

-Busted! I'm going.

Jack hits the table, interrupting the fight.

-Calm down. First of all, it's really not good to tell the media about the killer, he's someone clever, if we spread the word about him it'll only bring headaches.

Lucas shows his middle finger and then scratches his head.

-The media won't stop trying to screw me, they've already broken into my room trying to get information! After all, they've noticed that the police have increased their patrols, which has caused quite a stir!

-Lucas, we have more than 4 million inhabitants, and that murderer knows that very well, he's using that number to his advantage, think, what would happen if we did that?

Lucas begins to think.

-Ah! Do what you want, but I'm warning you, the moment I realize that the killer is running off the rails, I'm going to tell everyone!

Lucas gets up, ready to leave.

-I've found out information about the killer.

Lucas quickly grabs Jack's chair and spins it around.

-Tell me everything! Every piece of information about this bastard.

Jack looks up calmly.

-Sit down. -Lucas sits down, anxiously waiting for each piece of information.

Jack throws photos to each of them.

-Her name is Alice, she's the daughter of an ex-delegate, she was imprisoned for two years, and when the killer released her, he gouged out her eyes, tongue and hands.

Everyone is shocked by the barbarity they have seen, that murderer has once again done something shocking.

-Listen carefully. For two years she was tied up and blindfolded, but she always said she heard human screams, I investigated, but I found nothing about missing people who were never reported, I'm still looking for clues, but I still haven't found anything.

-So you're telling me that the killer is kidnapping people? But for what? For money?

-Sincerely? I don't know. If I'm speculating, it's probably for money.

The woman starts talking

-I don't think that's it, the clock incident, all the organs were scattered over the wall, a letter made with blood, and even the bones were chained up. The way I see it, the killer is trying to hide something, creating even more chaos to hide a lesser one.

-"Let's close the meeting," he is interrupted by Lucas.

-"Voice, appearance, eyes, height, we've found nothing! She must have seen something! You didn't ask her anything about it!

Lucas bursts out.

-I found out that... maybe the killer is several people, but I'm not sure and it's just a hypothesis, that's why I didn't mention it.

-What? What do you mean?

Everyone is in doubt.

-She said that every time he appeared, his voice was different, and even his appearance, and once his voice and appearance were feminine, but she said she could never see his face, she said it was as if his face didn't exist.

Lucas gets up and hurries away. Sinval and the woman follow him.

-Is that you? The only time you spoke was to stop the fight, Léo.

-Why should I? It's annoying, I'm not going after this murderer, so leave me out of it.

Léo stands up, puts his hands behind his back and heads for the exit.

-What if he invades your territory?

Léo stops.

- (Laughs) If so, I'll make him disappear from existence.

Léo leaves, and Jack sighs.

"There's nothing to be done, if things get worse I'll have to beg and kiss Léo's foot, if I even have a chance of him getting involved, I don't care."

Léo Grimshaw, the first king, or rather the strongest king in the entire police force, is the one at the top, all 19 kings have scars, all caused by him, his precinct contains only him, and his area is said to be the safest place in the world, with a non-existent crime rate and non-existent robberies. This area is known as the luxury region of the entire city. "A walking disaster", or rather, one of the 20 kings, "disaster"
