MAD LAD

Mucko

For a moment, the silence hung heavy in the air, the only sound was the faint murmur of the TV from the living room, where Cassandra was still absorbed in the drama unfolding on screen.

The officer studied Ryo’s calm demeanour, perhaps expecting more of a reaction, but Ryo remained still, his expression unreadable.

"As I was saying, can you call Mr. Joe Kosana? We need to talk to him," the officer asked, his eyes shifting toward the hallway.

"He's not at home; you can come later"

"Not at home? That's oddly suspicious. Do you have an idea where he might have gone?" the officer probed further.

"He collapsed this morning and was taken to the hospital"

"The hospital, huh? And who might you be?"

"I am—I am his nephew," This was the first time he had to refer to himself as a nephew so it made him stutter.

As soon as the word ‘nephew’ came out of Ryo’s mouth, a grin appeared on the man standing beside the two officers.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ryo. I am Asaku Ken, a private investigator. I hope you will cooperate with our investigations" the man said, extending his hand for a handshake.

"Of course," Ryo replied blankly, shaking his hand.

Ryo was taking long at the door so Cassandra came to check on him. “What’s taking you so long? U creep?” She was then surprised to see the police.

“You must be Cassandra,” Asaku spoke. “Nice to meet you. Won’t you invite us in for tea?”

“P-P-Police? Please come inside,”

“Ryo, you keep them company. I’ll make some tea,” she added as she went to the kitchen.

“He already knew our names’’ Ryo thought to himself.

Now the two officers, Mr. Asaku, and Ryo were in the living room.

Asaku was a renowned detective, famous for cracking cases that had left the police stumped. Despite his small eyes, he had an uncanny ability to spot crucial evidence. His dark red hair contrasted with the perpetual smile that masked his face, giving him a youthful appearance that belied his years.

“I know it's hard on you since you just lost your parents yesterday, but still, your cooperation will be highly—"

“Do you know anyone who might hold a grudge against your parents?” Mr. Asaku interrupted the officer.

“I do not,”

“Where were you when your house burned down yesterday?”

“I was probably at the graveyard,”

“How was your father’s relationship with your uncle and aunt?”

“They got along well, I guess”

“On the night of the accident, did you notice anything strange with your parents’ behaviour?”

“No”

“When was the last time you went to your house?”

“I think four days ago”

Asaku continued to question relentlessly, while Ryo responded without hesitation.

“Mr. Asaku, you are being far too inconsiderate. What is this, an interrogation? The kid just lost his parents!” one of the officers spoke.

“I know what I am doing,” Asaku spoke. “Besides, he seems unaffected by it, ain’t I right?”

Ryo remained silent.

“Okay, last question” Asaku forced his narrow eyes open for the first time, “Did you love your parents?”

“I-I, I’’ This was the first time Ryo hesitated but before he could answer the other officer broke in.

“Mr. Asaku! How could you!?” the officer interrupted, banging the table. “Sorry, young man. We will come back when Mr. Joe returns,” he added trying to diffuse the tension.

“I was just joking,” Asaku chuckled, his smile returning. “No need to get so tense, officer. You’ll age faster if you can’t handle a joke or two.”

“But that was no—" The officer’s protest was cut off by a sudden buzz.

“Oh, sorry, that’s my phone.” Asaku reached for it as it rang. “I’ll have to take this.’’

“Geez, we were in the middle o—" The officer’s complaint was interrupted as Asaku abruptly stood up, his voice rising sharply into the phone. “WHAT? ARE YOU SERIOUS? I’LL BE THERE!”

His usual composed smile vanished, replaced by an expression of anger and stress. The other two officers stared at him, completely surprised.

“Let’s go, officers. Looks like we really are going.”

“S-sure, is something the matter?” one of the officers asked, still taken aback.

“I’ll fill you in on the way. Let’s go,” Asaku replied, already moving towards the door.

Cassandra came back with a tray of tea only to find that everyone was already gone. “Argh, damnit!” she muttered, stomping her foot in frustration.

An hour earlier, at the police forensic lab...

The two charred bodies were laid out on examination tables, and the forensic expert, Ms. Sana, along with her assistant, were the only ones present in the lab.

“Ugh- damnit, I just can’t figure out how his neck was crushed” she groaned.

Ms Sana, with her honey-coloured hair and youthful appearance, was relatively new to the forensic lab. This case was her chance to prove herself.

It was then that the whole building vibrated, seemingly like an earthquake she hid under the examination table and commanded her assistant to get underneath too. The earthquake ended quickly.

It was then that somebody cried for help for a moment.

She and her assistant rushed out of the lab and into the hallway, heading toward the source of the cry, which had come from the gate. As they hurried, Ms. Sana suddenly tripped over something on the floor.

“Ouch, you go on, I’ll catch up,” she told her assistant, wincing as she glanced down to see what had caused her fall. Her heart nearly stopped—it was a human leg, severed and bleeding from one end. Frozen in terror, she couldn’t move.

Before she could gather her senses, a blood-curdling scream echoed through the hallway. It was her assistant.

Ms Sana’s eyes widened as she saw a massive shadow looming closer. She tried to run, but fear rooted her to the spot. Then it came into view—a creature resembling an orc, towering over seven feet tall, wearing tattered human clothes. Its hands and feet were drenched in blood as it slowly marched towards her.

She tried to crawl away, but the creature caught up to her with ease.

“A WOMAN! I can finally have some fun,” it sneered, drooling.

“N-No, don’t come any closer!” she screamed, tears streaming down her face.

“Mucko, we don’t have time for this,” a woman’s voice interrupted. A striking blonde woman emerged from around the corner, her presence commanding attention.

“D-Don’t worry, I’ll be a good boy and finish quickly.” He replied, drooling even more than before.

The blond woman sighed and then went inside the forensic lab.

The orc man lifted the woman from her neck with one hand and shredded her entire clothes with just a swing of his other hand. Revealing her tipsy body.

Within minutes the blond woman emerged out of the emergency room.

“It's time to leave’’ she said.

“So quickly but I haven’t even started yet” , He spoke as he fiddled her breasts like a madman.

“You can stay here if you want”

“NO, I CAN’T PAPA WILL BE MAD, JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE I AM COMING”

The blonde woman left while the orc man kept ramming it in the unconscious woman.

“Looks like We can’t play much longer,” he said as he licked her face.

He then dropped her on the floor then started ramming it in, the woman’s head hit the wall with each strike. He then rammed it so hard that the wall started to crack, the women’s head was crushed she expired instantly.

“NOT YET” he spoke as he was near climax he then grabbed the woman’s back with so much force that his hands dug into her flesh. He then took her whole body and slammed it towards himself with such force that the Godzilla came out, bursting out of her stomach.

“oooooooooooo- that was good,” he remarked as he wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand.

The woman slid down as it calmed down onto the swamp of blood and c*m.

“I better hurry,” he said as he ran while wearing his pants.

“Don’t move or I’ll shoot” a police officer approached him but he just grabbed his head and smashed it in the wall before he could pull the trigger.

“So, how did the investigation go?’’ the orc man asked the blonde woman as he got in the car.

The woman smirked at first then said, “Yeah, no doubt about it. Zephyr is back”

Just as the investigator and the officers left, Aunt May and Uncle Joe returned. Uncle Joe hugged Ryo as soon as he opened the door for them.

“I am always here for you, Ryo,” he added.

They went inside only to find Cassandra gulping down tea.
