"But she looks just like you." Victor Crane said to Anima on the rooftop of the police department. He held up a picture of a girl wearing the same cat outfit that Anima wore now.
"Looks like I have some psychotic fan. I want to inspire people, but not in this way." Anima said, putting on her best disgusted face.
Victor Crane glared at her, his suspicions growing. "Will you help us stop her?"
Anima shrugged. "Sorry, but not a priority. I have to deal with the otherworldly first."
"We understand." Duke Miracle added, sounding like meeting on top of a rooftop with a mysterious being was a normal thing.
The picture of the girl is clipped onto the white board at the precinct. "You buy her story?" Victor asks his partner.
"No, but what can we do about it? There is no way to confirm or deny her story."
"I am inquired to believe it. I have no reason not to." Victor replies.
"Leonidas is riding our asses on this case." Duke grumbles.
"This is a top priority. She wants the best detectives on this case."
"So A'raho and Retessal are a no?" Duke laughs. "I was hoping they could take the case. I have a few others I have to work."
"We were taken off all the Crimson Crime Syndicate related cases." Victor snarls.
Duke picks up a file. "But how can I? See this file?" He begins. "Nineteen dead after a Nightclub bombing. Four were there for a bachelorette party."
"A shootout occurred just because they wanted to kill the owner." Victor sighs, remembering about all the tough visits he had to make to the families. "They are dangerous people. We could be fired if she found out we were knowingly working a case."
"The Black Hand and Crimson Crime Syndicate have been at peace for the last few months. If an all-out gang war breaks out, the death toll could be in the hundreds if not thousands."
"If only we could find the CCS's leader." Victor ponders. "Or the King's Crown."
That is easier said than done. No one knew how many there were or what they looked like. Hell, no one even knows if King's Crown exists. They are rumored to be Shard's inner circle and the only ones who know his real identity. Each CCS member has a codename to provide privacy. They even work in groups with each group only knowing their own members.
