Toyo City

The House

John Goro, his name were whispers and words sewn with rumors. He is labeled a detective that has no remorse for criminals, some even say he plants evidence. Not all of the gangs know him of course, but he still hates them. Still causes trouble...

For Goro it was his day off and he simply was going to the local gas station, he lives outside of the city for some comfort since it's always loud and there are gunshots and every week there is atleast one attempt on his life for a break in. The usual.
John was walking to the store and looking at the trees, his steps were slow and with a sense of calm and for alot of people these trees were labeled a miracle to still be here, it was a bill that was passed to save and preserve Forrest and help them regrow, that was in 2038. He arrives at this dingy, small, beaten down gas station that only had one pump and was barly taken care of but had decent business, John would walk in and hear the radio playing and the doors bell jingle, the radio was playing some song that trended in Mexico in 2001 but John didn't quite know it but he couldn't understand it either. "Hay Mother Medela" John said in his normal cold tone as he goes into the back of the store and to the cold drinks isle, she looked down from her bombs and bullets magazine and gave a "Hola" in her old tone, she looked like she was around 80 and used to be a nun in Mexico for the cartel, not anything shady or illigal but to heal their wounds and hear their prayers. She was a mean old lady for sure though, John went in the back and grabbed a cold soda and came over and places it on the counter. "Mind giving me my usual if that's alright? And none of those platinum crap..."

He spoke with a abit of roughness as he places the money on the counter. "So Goro, any sins you wish to speak of?" So said as she got up slowly. Her bones creaking as she grabs the cigs and slides them over. "Not really, shot a rapist and killed him... so no sin there" He said with a hint of him being proud as he waves her goodbye and she sat back down and read her magazine. He walked home, his body remembered the pain still of his ribs being broken, he walks a full mile and makes it to his house, it's nice and alittle hidden by a path near the tree line. He calmly goes up the steps and into his house and retires for the day...

The next morning he got up for work and received a phone call, he answers it with a yawn.

"Mmm... yeah, huh... funny enough that's near me. Yeah well fuck off about the door I already fixed it."

He slams down the phone in his house and got in his car, the door was fixed and he was still getting yelled at for it breaking... but that's not surprising when corporate is involved, they didn't care about him just the property, he drove down the road for a 1 hour drive and got to the spot... it was a house big and white with barred windows, it was a couple who lived here and they have reported their daughter missing but wont let the cops anywhere near the upstairs.

The reason John was called was because they found her dead lifeless body on the road, he was sent the photos and such on his phone, her internal organs busted and she had bruises on her body and her nails were broken or coming off. She has been missing for a day and dead for a day... John had already a idea of what happened but decided to talk to the mother and father first. John walks in as cops take pictures and chat with each other, the two were in the living room, the father had a black eye and the mother had a deep cut that's stitched up on her face... the air was tense and humid with stress and fear, he sat on the opposite couch and looked at the two gingers, the mother was a natural ginger and the father wasn't, clearly cybernetics.

"Sorry for your loss, by chance did she have any stalkers or enemies?" John asked a normal question, clearly something happened here, maybe the kidnapper attacked them and they were so scared that they didnt fight back? Or maybe they murdered her and she fought back? No evidence of that yet. "W-where was she?" The mother spoke in a worried and shaky voice, she was starting to cry but trying to hold herself together. "She was found on the road... a bus driver found her on his route" John said telling the full truth, there no point in lying in these types of situations. "You, fatty get them something to drink" He said looking at a obese police officer as he stood up and quietly crept to the stairs in the next room, one of the officers looked at him about to say something but John quickly shot them a look that spoke volumes, like he was going to beat him later till he swallowed his teeth type look. John was slow and careful as he crept... and crept... step by step.

He made it upstairs and walked over to one of the rooms and opened it and saw a queen size bed, the couples room. He closes the door silently with light click before slowly walking to the next door and opening it abit, before closing that one too. It was the bathroom. He walks and honestly just tride the doorknobs atill one was locked and when one was he assumed that was the door.

He pulls out a lock-pic and jiggles it in the lock atill it opens and looked inside, a girly room with a state of the art eye watcher model year 2040. He closes the door and looks around the room, and feels the soul of said room, it was lonely and quiet, no birds chirping, no smell, just crisp cool air. He looked down and saw nothing but when he turned to look at the door John felt in that moment before turning that they were innocent... that they were honest good people but then he saw the rooms door... it was clawed up and scratched to hell near the floor, like someone was on their belly and trying to claw out of the room... he felt uncomfortable with the sight and knew that she must have died in this vary house... he went back downstairs and wasn't quiet about it, the parents looked at him with anger and shock and he outright says "So... what about the scratch marks upstairs? Didn't see a family cat...?" Before anyone would say something the father started softly crying said confessed. "W-we killed her... we killed her... we killered little Susie" He was a mubling broken man and the wife said rubbing his back and comforting him "w-we didn't mean to, she attacked us with a knife and..." John watched as they explained and cried infront of the cops and him, the two seemed sorry but they may have been sorry to have been caught... but from what John could peice together they were attacked first? And they locked her in her room in a panic... a cop was about to hand cuff them when "hold on, I don't think they are the killers" the father a broken man looks up at him with confusion and sorrow mixing together like a disgusting pool of emotions, the other cops were puzzled too.

"Her organs were busted open, did she ever had transplants by chance?" Goro asked as he stood there, unvered and yet puzzled himself. The father couldn't speak he was too far gone in his grief to speak so the wife nervously spoke in his stead "y...yes, she got in a car accident last year and needed replacements. Bu-" before she could speak Goro rudely interrupted her and asked "where did she get that thing up stairs the umm... eye dropper? Eyes... ugh"  He forgot the name of it at a horrible time and the mother corrected him saying "eye watcher... she got it from a friend, what... what does that have to do with anything? It's just a dumb thing shot got as a gift..." She said as she was clearly confused and scared for herself and her husband.

"I don't think you two killed her but her friend may have... her eye watcher may have a deadly malware on it, so she may have gone psychotic before it opened her organs... but I don't know for this one, I'm going to leave now but I think you should give us permission to scan it that's all..."

John turned and left, he felt sick at the idea of someone's body being a puppet for a sick pleasure... he got in his car and left for the city to his office to work.

The family had the eye watcher checked and goro was half right, it made her hallucination badly and was put with a deadly virus then once she was locked up the virus started and caused her to puke blood and claw at the door atill she died, the mother and father were pardoned from their panicked attempt at hiding her body as they were innocent...
