Hi, I'm Iris Brown.

I'm a detective, and try to find real justice.

When I was a child, my parents were murdered and the police couldn't find anything about the murder. That's when I decided to become a detective.

Fast forward years later, I got a job as a detective in a police agency. With my detective skills, I was able to solve a lot of murder mysteries. The more I worked as a detective, more I realized some people give up on real justice. Even some of the police didn't pay attention to what needs to be done. That's where I came in.

One day, we received an anonymous call saying that they captured some people in their warehouse. "How are we gonna find them?!" "Don't worry, leave it to me." I found out that their location was in an abandoned building on the outskirts of town. We barged in causing an ambush. As the police attacked the criminals and freed the victims, I noticed one of the men was getting away! "Stop right there!" I went after him, stopping him in his tracks. "You can't escape true justice!" "Hahaha, what are you? Some god?" He just laughed about my sense of justice. I turned around to calm down. Just then, I heard the man scream! I turned to see he was dead. And there was another man. He had long hair and was dressed in black and gray and he had 2 eye colors. He was holding a metal pipe. That must have been how he killed that man. "Shhhh, what happened here is between you and me." He then disappeared. "What happened here?!" The police chief came and saw the crime dead on the ground. "It was a man with a mask on!" "Yeah, yeah. They always say that." "How could you not believe me?! I'm the greatest detective you have!" "Stay out of our business!" I don't know why he of me like that? And how is that man with the green and blue eyes?

Over the next few days, I've been trying to figure out who that mask man was. As I was investigating in an ally way, I was grabbed by two muggers! "Hey pretty lady." "Don't mess with me! I'm with the police!" "I'm sure you are. Hahaha!" I punched them right in the face! Showing they shouldn't mess with me! "Wow, for a second there I thought I had to save you." I turned to see the same man from the other night! "Come, let's get out of here." "Wait! Who are you?!" "My name is Nathen. Come on." Nathen brought me to a abandoned apartment. "Is this where you live?" "Something like that." "Why did you kill that guy that night?" "I had to. I have to stop them." "Who?" "The people who took my sister." "Sister?" Nathen the showed me a picture of a girl with dark hair and green eyes. "Her name is Crystal. She's my twin." "Wow, I can really see the resemblance." "Listen detective, if you turn me in, then I'll never find the men who kidnapped my sister." "Don't worry, that's why I became a detective. To solve mysteries like these." I agreed to help Nathen to find this gang he was looking for. "And one more thing, don't tell anyone about me." I had mixed feelings about this but, I made a promise. "I won't."

For months I'd help Nathen with his mission while working on my other cases. I knew if I get caught I would be in big trouble. Especially with the police chief. As I helped Nathen on our investigation, we couldn't find anything that would lead up to it. "Can you tell me what this gang's called or what they look like?" "How should I know?! It happened so fast!" It sounded like he was frustrated with trying to find his sister. "How long ago did your sister get captured?" "I don't want to talk about it!" He slammed his fist into a metal pipe line. Little bits of water was dripping down. "Nath-" "Shhhhh." I was confused. But it looked like the sound of the dripping water was calming down. This must be like ASMR to him. "I like the sound of things dripping. The sound of something so quiet." "Not so quiet." We ended our investigation for today and agree meet tomorrow.

One day at work, I was searching some old files to help with trying to find the organization Nathen was talking about. I found a file about a case of a pair of twins that gone missing. I asked the chief about it but he just scold at me. "This case had no leads!" " it maybe if you just tell me about it." "Detective Brown, I'd had enough of your so called detective work!" He slammed the file at me and walked off. That guy was a sourpuss. I'm going to figure this out on my own. I looked in the file to see that the last name of the twins is Lux. I found the address of where the twins live. I knocked on the door to a woman opened up. "Hello mrs. Lux, I'm Detective Brown. I'm here to ask about your twin children." Mrs Lux broke down about how long her kids went missing. "It has been years since I saw them. I don't know could of happened to them!" "Can you show me a picture of them?" "Of course." She showed me a photo of a boy and a girl with dark black hair. But when I looked at the boy, I saw that he had two eye colors, one blue and one green. "Your son's name wouldn't happen to be Nathen would it?" "Yes." And that means the girl is Crystal! Now it all makes sense! "Thank you for your time Mrs Lux." I left to go find Nathen. He's got some explaining to do.
