Nighthawks

POW! Shots started being fired and as Nathan jumped behind a crate and prayed that Frank didn’t kill him he started thinking back to how this all started.

It was 2013 and Nathan Harper, a young man with brunette hair and the face of a god, had just got finished with a tough case. To relax he decided to go to a little quaint place called Phillies Café. Little did he know this place would be where he would start a new case and reopen an old one. A case that involved his heart and a woman he used to love.

He entered the café and sat down.

“Waiter, can I get a coffee?” he asked.

The waiter turned around, made Nathan’s coffee and then gave it to him.

“Thanks.” He said in gratitude.

No sooner that he uttered that word a beautiful woman with long flowing red hair and beautiful blue eyes came in. She looked like a little piece of heaven in her dress. After he snapped out of the trance she had had him in he noticed the gentleman following behind her. He was wearing a black dress shirt with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

As soon as they sat down he was able to take a closer look at the two of them and he gasped. Thinking back he probably shouldn’t have done that because as soon as the man noticed him he took off with the woman. The reason for his gasp was because that woman was the former love of his life, Anna Stewart, and the man she was with was none other than the notorious gang leader, Frank Gravanzo. Anna Stewart was the love of his life we he was younger. They were planning to get married but Anna broke up with Nathan when he started spending more time working instead of spending time with her. Frank was a different story. He had warrants out for his arrest that include murder, drug trafficking, extortion, robbery and much more. The reason he ran was because he recognized Nathan.

Not to brag or anything but Nathan is a world-renowned detective that has solved cases from the United States all the way to Japan. He has done cases that range from homicides and murders to divorces and civil suits. He has pretty much taken down all the major gangs except for one. If you guessed Frank Gravanzo’s gang you would be correct. He has eluded Nathan for years and Nathan has been waiting to take him down. But now that he knows Frank has Anna it’s become personal.

Wait what are you doing Nathan? You should be chasing him down not ranting about Frank and yourself in your head!

With that thought in mind Nathan took off after Frank, but by the time he got outside Frank and Anna were long gone. Even though Nathan was disappointed that they left it only made him even more determined to find them. Nobody can hurt the only woman he loved and get away with it.

The very next day Nathan started trying to find any leads he could to track Frank down. He put another warrant out for his arrest and asked his fellow law enforcers about any information they can give him about Frank. He even got desperate enough to try and get information from convicts he put in jail but he came up empty. Just as he was about to give hope he thought of another plan that might take awhile but it was the only plan he had. He was going to go to the café everyday and wait for Frank to show his face again.

Everyday Nathan would wait for Frank to return to the café and everyday Frank never came. Just when Nathan was starting to give up hope Frank showed up again at the café. Granted it was two weeks later but he still showed up. Nathan was over the moon with happiness because he knew he would now have the opportunity to find Anna. As soon as Frank sat down Nathan went straight to him so he could confront him.

“Hey Frank. How are you doing?” Nathan asked with sarcasm.

As soon as Frank turned around and looked at Nathan he started to get up to run but Nathan stopped him.
