Infinity's edge

chapter 2,3,4

After the long voyage they both took rest and Had a great dinner while watson introduced his fiancee to Allan and Nancy, his wife. Allan was in service for more than 10 years and his post was 1 level lower than supreme police director. And with the salary he has built himself a paradise. After that day the next day view they decided head to brodstein park. It is a famous park in all States ravien. They reached there and while others were looking at the view, Watson was stuck in a thought that was not that pleasant

11/2 years ago when Watson and samwell were still working at the South zone police department there was a case filed about a missing daughter of a merchant. He was incharged of that case. It was just 2 years after dropping out of the detective university to take the job as a police officer due to His father's unfortunate death. He was still motivated to be an investigator that the department has ever seen. So him and samwell got right on it. They went to the merchant's house, asked the typical questions such as "when did you last see her, was she upset when you last saw her, where did she tell about going,..." And so on after collecting those informations Watson's diary had this much "Sara luuaa. Daughter of a merchant named jacob luuaa. Last seen in a red top and black jean. She is 5ft 3in. Last said to be going at friends house for a sleep over. They then head to each of her friends house, Sleep over was there but sara did not reach. They tracked her last contacts and there was a name "Tracy" Which her parents didn't hear Even once from her. They decided to call it from another number they called and asked whether it was "jake" To know the man in the call. The man said no. We then asked who he was, the reply shocked us. It was the cheif of South zone Mr Sean Paul. They did not inform anyone, and decided not to until they have found substantial evidence. They then went to the office and took a look at the diary, they looked at the day she was missing and found that chief wasn't in night shift he took off from evening. They then traced his tower location and found that he went to West zone. Earlier they had traced Sara's tower location she was also in West zone at a hotel called "viastre" They immediately went over there and took the CCTV recordings and found that they had indeed met there. With these evidences they went to the office where they found that chief wasn't there.they called him without mentioning this case, he said to come over at Brodstein park. When they were about to leave from the station were blocked by jacob luuaa asked if he could come with them. He somehow knew that they were doubting chief and he thought because it's a police chief the truth might not be revealed, so to make everyone know he had shooten a live on a social media platform and put it in his shirt pocket. They reached and out all the evidence because he wasn't ready to come to the station without knowing the reason. At that time because of Jacob's live people started gathering, He said "NO, NO I WANT TO SETTLE THIS NOW!! ".He was furious " It's true that we meet and we often meet sometimes. We were having a relationship and was even about to reveal it to her parents, as usual we met that day. After having a fun day we dispersed. We both came in different vehicle so no one spots us. After that i haven't seen her". With that they were confused. Watson immediately called the station and asked " Hey mia, immediately check and say whether there has been any unidentified person who died in a car crash in West zone "." I'll make a call to West zone department and check. Hold on to the line". After a moment she said "yes there has been an accident on the highway to southzone". After hearing that they immediately took jacob luuaa and went over there where he was able to identify that it was sara luuaa. They knew they messed up after seeing that jacob had sent live. They were frustrated to falsely accuse the cheif. And with that reason they were unable to look at cheif the same way. They were ashamed of themselves and knew that they won't be able to properly do the work in the South zone so they decided to apply for a transfer.

It was truly embarrassing for both Watson and samwell. Well here he is thinking about it, He got out of the thought. All of them got off and went to a restaurant near the park and had lunch there. It was delicious food and then went back home to try out the bow and arrow test. Basically allan had set himself a target and some bows and arrows, which often they do so all of them decided to try it out until Allan got a call from his subordinate. It seemed really important and breathtaking one could understand the level of seriousness of the matter by looking at his face. Allan called Watson to accompany him and went to the brodstein park they had just visited. There was a big crowd and somehow they were able to make past the crowd. What they saw was frightening and sort of caused delusion in their minds. A man with a prison outfit hanged on a tree. They had just, not been 1 hour since they left brodstein park.

Watson had a feeling that it wasnt a suicide but a murder, primly because the man was a breakout from the prison of West Zone, why would he suicide after he broke out. Watson by looking at the scenario and observing, had aroused a doubt, would this be anyway connected to the shadow murders?. After that incident Watson and gloria went back to North zone. He was able to collect the copy of files of the recent scenario from Allan and gathered around with all the other members of the investigation group. "The recent death of an inmate in brodstein park arouse lots of political concern. And we could suspect the series of deaths so called " Shadow murders" to be the one behind this as well. I need you both to collect information regarding all the men who died by hitting lightning while we both are going to investigate further on the inmates death" Said Watson to John and dany ordering them to gather details.

Watson and samwell both went to the prison to gather details but they weren't able to give a full description on the inmate named Barry Thomas. The registered details says "

Name : Barry thomas

Age : 26

Barry thomas was caught by the East zone police department for illegally smuggling 'tefgyam' (a metal like substance which are rare and only found in Ravien) along with His containers of car parts and add ons. Previously an owner of 'Sala Cars' a car company exporting and importing car products ". This was all there was about him later they questioned some of the inmate who were closer to Barry according to the guards. His character wasn't always a suited Character for an owner of a renowned car company owner. He escaped after 3 years of prison with 2 more pending. 5 years of prison was given because of illegal smuggling and police after raiding his place found unlicensed firearms and few dangerous tools which in court made judge believe that he is a dangerous man. The guards where able find how he escaped, The jailer Mr. Juanito Gonzalez helped out by passing this information "There were 5 days where we had to change the eating area to outside because of renovation. Somehow without anyone noticing he scraped newly put cement so that he was able to escape through. He was able to somehow know the renovation and the day they were putting cement because we kept it highly confidential. And we specifically divided one of the days to just recementing the walls and the floor. He dug underground and vanished before we found him missing" . Watson and samwell thanked them for their cooperation and head back. As they drove back, Samwell raised a question "weren't the first guy we encountered Mr Tobias Harris someone related to car export? ". After they head back to the station they took out the files of other deaths by lightning and there were people of various occupation. Nothing in common, neither any clue nor any faults. It's either just rumors or its a perfect series of murder. At the time they had no clue what to do, where to go, who to interrogate.

Watson have attended and completly solved lot of murders. He for the first time felt defeated. They went to the place where a man recently died by lightning strike and took inspection. It was one mister josepa aureliin, from there he noticed drag marks and since he died besides the newly constructing side walk the drag mark was permanent. Watson knew that the "shadow murders" were over now its going to be murders in sunlight. The reason for this thought was because of the fact that the murderer didn't even try to get rid of the drag mark. Their strategy must have changed.

"Hello (heavily inhaling and exhaling), isn't this Allan? ". The caller asked. Allan had saved this contact number. " Yes George what happened? ". " Me and my camera man were shooting the sea for my company's show then I saw logan gerani in a ship he is about to sail away be quick". After he heard those words Allan immediately took off in his car and reached the port and disguised himself as a worker to track his whereabouts.

Logan gerani - A Cold blooded murderer and infamous d**g exporter. He has been a top priority for the police force to catch. He has been on hide for the past 5 years. He last escaped from the Court itself so this matter is really embarrassing for the police force. Watson didn't want him to escape again so he wanted to know his hideout then go on to hunt. He managed to fit in as the new guy. But then when he made a conversation with a guy called fran, He was able to know that there was going to be full check up of the crew. He was in trouble and the ship had already started sailing and to his unfortunate logan himself caught him. Logan gerani was once caught by Allan and after that in court he had escaped. Logan wasn't going to forget Allan. He told his men to carry Allan and tie him to a pole.

All of this was witnessed by that reporter from earlier George. As he saw this he immediately called the police but the signal was off he decided to take the car but it was blocked. He could see from the parking lot through his binoculars, logan throwing allan after shooting him three times. George felt guilty for him to call allan which caused his death. And soon the ship sailed away. He immediately took his car and went to police station as soon as he could and reported the scene he had just witnessed the police force sent out immediate rescue team out to the ocean. Days were past they weren't still able to recover Allan's body. The force sent condolences to Mrs. Allan and family at that time Watson found out about this. Police force offered several forms of support from financial assistance to counselling services. Nancy Allan and Morgan her son decided to go to her parents house after the rituals were done. Their condition were despair, not even a body to do rituals with. The priest prayed for Allan and After 3 days Both Nancy and Morgan decided to leave the house. Allan insisted that he would drop them off. The big mansion was being left behind their family was heart broken.

It took quite a while for them to reach her house but maybe it's because of the never ending stream of sad memories it felt that they reached fast. Her parents invited Watson for Dinner. After having dinner He left. On his way back He received a call from one of his friend's dad. Name was Marcus his son Leo and watson had studied at university together and even were room mates at the Investigation university. " Hello son, it's Me Leo's Father. If you're free tomorrow could you come around the house I have something important to tell you". That was an anchor weighing him down, from that call onwards he was aching to know the matter. Luckily there wasn't much farther to go. He finally reached, parked his car in the garage. "Hello, It's been a while". " Indeed it has, you should've come when Leo came back. " The old man said. "Well I've been busy with a lot of cases but i did meet him though", " Yeah". "So what's the matter, what was it that you were longing to say" Asked Watson. " Well it's a long story, 23 years ago and i remember it like yesterday because at that day onwards I had lots of doubts which I kept with my self. That day evening the house beside me were sold a Russian businessman named Theodore belcheier. That evening a truck came in with the furnitures and i was excited to meet my neighbors so i enquired the men who were delivering furnitures about the families arrival and what type of man we should be expecting. They said that Theodore belcheier was one of the wealthiest man in Russia and was from a renowned family of artist. He was calm gentlemen the main reason for arrival at ravien was that his business patners betrayal. He came here with everything left. And they said that the family would reach maybe the next day Or at midnight. The next day i met him, However he was neither a good speaker nor a great gentlemen I thought maybe it was the business fail that changed him recently Your brother Allan came here to meet his son Freddie for some case and later Theodore came and they broke out a verbal war, basically abusing Allan in every way. Recently his son has been missing but he didn't care to file a case, basically I doubt that he has something to do with the death of Allan. " . "No Sir he was killed by Logan, It's clear. " "Got any evidence?. Would it make sense though? The d**g Lord Logan gerani himself sailing in a boat that too in the port of South zone? There's high security in South zone especially since they sent out and in some of the first grade weapon to support the ravien government. ". Watson was shocked that he wasn't able to think about this matter. After saying goodbye Watson took off in his car immediately to pick Samwell, John and Dany. They gathered around in a rented van as their base for planing. They immediately took off to South zone and investigated more on Theodore belcheier , they checked their acquired identity all of those match perfectly. He didn't know what to do.

He decided to stick to the shadow murder series, they individually went to all the victim's houses and talked to their family apart from the fact that they all are related to car and export business, there weren't much to go through. John Miller then collected their job statistics report and it showed them that all of them were once in a completely different job which has nothing to do with car's or export. This was confusing for the investigation team. "Breaking News, Today noon precisely at 2:10 our honourable Governor Mr. Rick Scott went. Governor was attending a function at South zone's Yra Highschool and according to the reports after the function the Governor went to the Bathroom and never came back. After a while the guards went in to discover that Governor have been abducted" They saw this news and was shocked Cheif jay called and ordered to meet him at his house, after reaching the house Cheif gave him the keys to the car and both headed to yra highschool. There were D.I and several police officers of higher rank Supreme police officer Mr. Henry Martins spoke to watson. " Mr. Watson yes?, Officer Jay told me about your investigation team and unfortunately we have no choice but to disperse the group. The thing is There was this message sent to DI head officer Brandon Williams and Me. It was the absuctors we were speak and come to a common ground. They said they will release Governor sir if we accomplish their conditions. So I'm stripping your team off of the duty to investigate this Case". " May I ask what conditions? " He enquired but he chose not to utter a word about it and said that it was highly confidential. Watson was disappointed, He aq got back to the van and told them the order. They dispersed leaving samwell and Watson behind as they drove away. Samwell pats His shoulder and says "somethings are meant to be lost, consider this as one " Samwell drove him to his house and he left to the office.

Later gloria was aware of the situation and she encouraged him to keep this behind him that day he realised that "People with power decides and we just comply...... Unless we deviate from their path totally!!! " He was struck by this thought and had a crazy idea. "Hear me out gloria. I am going to resign from the police force and carry out my ambition of becoming a full time private investigator and my first case will be the shadow murders" Gloria was a supportive lady and she encouraged this decision of his. He knew this was the path he was meant to have travelled. Next day Watson meets cheif in his office and discusses the matter and cheif tried to persuade Watson into rethinking his decision as there was no going back from this. But he chose not to comply and later the paperwork was done and he had officially resigned from the police force. "You've been my mate for the last 8 years. Although yes it is going to be a pain to work without you. I am not gonna weigh you down of an opportunity of pursuing your wish. Good luck" Samwell said. They got a bit sentimental and they hugged. The truck came in and took all the furnitures away to the new location "East Zone". They got themselves a beautiful apartment and an office near it for the " Detective agency " The name of the office was "Allson Detective agency".

Just got in the apartment, it was beautiful modern and a great value for money. It had lots of cleaning to do as it was not been used for over a year and the previous owner had left a mess of newspapers and clothes and so on. "Gloria, What does a newly started business need? And what will we achieve if we took on the Shadow murders case". "Well a newly promoted buisness needs promotion and if you take on that case and find the culprit you will get more clients " said gloria. "Exactly!, I have decided to take on this case." "Give it your best!" Said gloria. He went to the cheif justice of ravien, Dave floran. They had a good conversion, afterwards Watson asked about having an investigation like this. "Well it is completely ok if you investigate however if you are looking to present it to court consider having retired or working police officer. Even though you can investigate yourself cases like these is better off done with a group It can help in the court aswell as in threatening situations".

After the meeting Watson came back home. Gloria was clearing the mess and cleaning, so Watson decided to help out by clearing all of the different newspapers and magazines. While doing so He stumbled upon an intresting article which took him back to the "Capture Gerani mission" incident. He read about it 10 years ago. Logan Gerani Capturing mission,10 years ago, the government were planning all sorts of renovation for the public. There were a lot money collected from the public and some from the taxes. Government sent out a special team to raise fund for this renovation and this team completed collection by 5 days scattering across the country. The collected cash was then loaded in a truck and send to the white house for further planning. Before the white house there was a long bridged highway and within both the land where the bridged starts and ends stood the police forces. In between them something absurd occured. Bunch of armed men from a chopper got down on top of the truck and put C4 (a attachment bomb) to the driving compartment which caused a big crash. Immediately alerting all the police force, But the heist was planned to perfection. When the police forces got in the car and drove towards the bridge there were a small heavy string which could hardly be seen streched tied to the vertical ends of the bridge causing Cars to flip over and then from the chopper they threw bombs and thereby silencing police. Before reinforcements could come the men loaded the bags into a submarine and fleed from the scene. Later with some substantial evidence such as video recording of a pedestrian it was inevitable that the master brain of that heist was Logan Gerani formerly a d**g lord. With this incident and full public going rampage Government took a big dangerous step. They formed 'COVERT VIGILANCE FORCE' it was a team of specially picked members to capture Logan at any cost.

They had the authority to kill and arrest anyone as their main priority was to capture Logan. Can evidently see that government is furious about this matter. However they needed to keep this mission silent, as they think the public would be concerned of this. Only people from the top brass knew about such organization. In one month time they had enough leads to go through and while checking all the possible places in disguise they were upto nothing. And one day they got a ground breaking evidence (which wasn't stated in the newspaper ) and with that they decided to move. They had already needed to injure 5 men and kill 2. After they picked the trail they were surprised to see that he lived in a busy market area. They saw him and immediately guns where fired. An immense shoot out occured and with enough men Logan was able to buy himself time to escape. With that shootout the public came to be aware of the secret group. They had shot down 17 men, Public were terrified and protested against government for taking such a careless step and with a lot of public pressure the group was taken to court. There wasn't better for them either with publics concern some individual spend quite some money to hire a great lawyer and he made the judge aware of the fact that even with these 17 deaths the force wasn't able to contribute. Later the court found those killings to be guilty and dispersed the group the cheif and a young member were let to live, while others were hanged. It was an instance which terorized the different forces. The young member Mr. Henry Davis was sent to prison and just got out this year after his 10 years being served in prison. The cheif with his former glories were given no punishment. This was the article Watsom knew that him alone can't take this case so he rushed back to the chief justice and talked about this. "There is no way that the government is going to fund a private agency to solve a case, especially when DI is handling this case. Normally the contractor gives the money to fund the Entire process, and since it is out of your intrest in solving and to get to know more on the death of your brother you have the responsiblity to fund the process". He got to the office after the renovations were done and sat on the chair thinking. Gloria walked in and saw her fiancée thinking hard, she asked what was the matter and he told her what the cheif justice told her and what his idea was. He wanted to employ remaining members of Covert vigilance force."try to talk to the chief of the squad about this maybe he'll be intereted". He thought for a second and thanked her for the advise and head straight to his house which was in south zone. After a long voyage he got there and was even able to meet him "Sir, my name is Watson and I was the assistant cheif police officer of north zone station, i recently resigned and i have a proposition for you. I know your retired but the country could use your help". "If its something i can do i will for sure give all the assistance i can so fire away with your proposition " " The reason I resigned was because, we were 4 people working on the Shadow murders case and we were stripped off of that responsiblity and even were warned not to investigate that case. Recently I've got a lead which my intuition says has a major role in this series of cruel murders. I was hoping that the remaining members of Covert Vigilance force would help out on this". "Hm...." He shifted his head down and started fidgeting with hands and his face showed a great sign of disappointment "those days are over and I don't think i have it me anymore. We were restricted to Be in the same case. The remaining of us that is, I saw henry last month he settled down and is about to start a new life in high range. I wish i could help you but I can't the government won't allow". "Dont worry about that I was able to speak with Dave Florian the chief justice and i asked wheather i could investigate this case and he said I'd need a retired police officer on watch and is better to have a team when encountering such deadly cases". "Even still i highly doubt i have the mental capacity and capability to be part of a mission this serious " The retired cheif Nathan Dutt replied. "Sir think about it and while you do that I'll talk to Henry. Please give me his address ". He was hesitant to give the address as he knew it would disrupt the peace Henry got at last. But he gave it anyways, and off was watson. Gloria was nervous about the commitment watson had to this case and she expressed her feeling on a phone call. Watson had stoped at one of the hair pin before the high range to drink a tea "Should you really do this, I mean its not going to benefit you in anyway if you fail. And there's only a month left to the date we said to get married " she was clearly worried "honey, this isn't just for the people now if what Anthony's father said was true I highly think that the death of my brother wasn't from Logan Gerani but whoever is behind this. Don't worry, I promise I'll finish it in 20 days." He continued to sip his tea. He then took out a small note pad and wrote everything he knew till that point. After 3 hours he reached the address Nathan gave him. It was lonely place a house in the middle of a big field of crops, he give the door a knock probably asleep now as it was already late at night. He didn't want to disturb the sleep he went back and slept in the car. Morning Henry calls Watson by knocking on the glass of the car "I'm sorry who are you?" Asks Henry. " Henry? Can I talk to come on lets grab something to eat at the restaurant nearby and talk. I came here after visiting Cheif Nathan ". He entered the car and went to a nearby restaurant. Henry seemed like a nice guy a Quite introverted character I told him my project and whether he would be intrested to join them and it wasn't surprising that he said No to it. I tried persuading him but no luck. After we ate he got back to the field. The man i heard he was had already been rinsed away, Looks like prison took a toll on him
