New Hope

Only minutes after been notified about the case Kily is run to the midtown market alleyway. Reaching the entry, she slows to a walk. As she steps in to the alleyway, she in hit with the metallic smell of blood. She finds herself covering her nose but is still able to smell it. Holding her head high she rounds the corner and what she sees makes her wish she did as her farther told her to do years ago. The mount of blood everywhere Kily feels like she is about to fall to her knees. Looking around the small body in middle of a pool of blood a bare foot print next to the body. Her eyes more to the old looking knife laying just outside the blood pool. She finally looks to the walls seeing ‘live is going to change here.’ Written in blood her mouth goes dry also seeing the number 5 under the massage. Stepping back the way she come other law officer move around her taking pictures of the body in the middle of the alleyway and the walls. Kily finds herself needing to get out of the alley as quickly as she can. Stepping out in to the clean air all Kily can see is people watch the law officers going in and out the alley. Some of the people are yelling out questions and taking pictures of them so they can take the people of new hope. Walking past everyone of them she gets to the over look seeing the low town and the Dark city. Closing her eye lets her mind go back to the alley using her photographic memory. She looks at the bare foot print in the pool of blood guessing the foot size is around seven or eight. She shacks her head. Thinking about the knife see has never seen one like that before and she has seen a lot of them. Her eyes open looking to Dark city wounding if maybe the knife is from there. Unsure she walks to her law officer’s headquarters heading to her desk she makes some notes on what she seen. After sometime Zandr a Law officer like herself walks up to her desk as pail as a glost his bule eyes look distant his shaggy blonde hair is a mess like he had ran his hands through it a lot lately. His voice is rough “did you see the alleyway?” I nod my head as I write something down about the letters of the massage. Kily looks up at him. “I was asked to look and take notes is was terrible I almost come not stay long enough to do that.” she found her own voice quiet He touches Kily shoulder “I want to get the person who did that and shot them in the face.” He says anger pulsing off him. Kily nods her head not wanting to have him hang around too much longer. She goes back to writing. Zandr gets the hint and leaves her to her thing. Thinking she may have finished she reads over her notes feeling that is all she can do she puts the in order and takes the to the chef’s offices and sits them on her desk. She turns to leave as the chef walks in holding the knife with a worried look on her face. The chef looks at Kily and nods as she takes the knife and looks at it feeling she was right early. “Chef I have never seen one look this I feel it could be from Dark city.” Kily says still unsure of herself. “I think you may be right Kily I have only seen knifes like this over the past month I have tried asking the council member who has the power of the Dark city but he is so lazy to do anything.” She spits out the last part. Kily hands back the knife to the chef and walks out the office back to her desk. She packs her desk up and leaves the headsquares heading home thinking she may ask her mother if she can help the chef get clarence to go to the Dark city and find out about the knife.
