Kane's Wrath

When Tony drove up to grace's store, he saw the police cars and the ambulances parked out in front of the place." What the hell!" He mumbles out, parking his car and sitting there for a minute or two trying to process the scene in front of him, 'What the hell is going on around here?'  He hastily opens his car door getting out and stands there looking at the large crowd of people that surrounded the store.

He had never seen so many police officers at once in his life. It looked like a scene out of the TV show C.S.I., Tony Steps away from his car quickly walking over toward the two police officers standing over next to the yellow police tape.

Tony tries to get the two officers' attention standing there, but with all of the commotion going on around the place they paid him no mind. Tony finally succeeded in grabbing one of the officers' attention when he started to go underneath the yellow police tape. The officers noticed Tony and yell at him to stop. "HEY, You! Stop right there! What do you think you're doing? You can't go in there!"

The larger officer of the two grabbed Tony by the sleeve of his jacket stopping him from going any further inside the store."No one's allowed to go in there, this is a crime scene!"

"Get your hands off me! I have every right to go into this store. I work here! Someone called me at 2:30 this morning and said something wrong here. Now, somebody better start explaining to me what's going on around here!" Tony said angrily, the officer lets go of Tony's arm.

"First, I need to get your name!" The officer said to Tony.

"Tony Reid."

The officer standing next to Tony yells over at his partner. "Hey Soul, go get Detective East, tell him Tony Reid is here to see him. Tony stood there nervously in the cold trying to stay out of everybody's way, that were coming in and out of the store. When he turns and glances over towards the display window at the front he notices the blood smeared on the window's glass.

His heart started to race in his chest sweat beaded upon his face, he felt as if he was going to be sick, he brought his hand up quickly over his mouth, trying to keep down the bile coming up in his throat.
Tony began to lean himself over to catch his breath.'Oh my God! Was that blood he'd just seen?' He shut his eyes tight to let the wave of dizziness pass, as he opens his eyes he sees the shadow looming on the ground next to him, his eyes travel up towards the person the shadow belongs to standing.

The man that looked to be in his late twenty's too early thirty's at most wearing a black trench coat, gray T-shirt, a pair of dark washed blue jeans and a pair of black combat boots. He had a strong build to his body like he once had been in the military, dirty blonde hair, mustache and goatee. This guy looked tough, like a damn Viking a movie.

Tony came back up from his knees slowly trying to get his bearings, he closed and opened his eyes a couple of times before he looked back over at the Viking man clearing out his throat a few times he begins to speak."I'm sorry, I'll be okay in a few moments."

"You must be Tony Reid, I'm Detective East." The Detective shook his hand and proceeded to talk to again."I'm the one that called you earlier about this situation here Mr. Reid, about 1:15 this morning our officers were patrolling this area of town and discovered a very gruesome sight at this store. Mr. Reid, I would prefer not to discuss the details of this situation here, I would rather discuss this with you downtown at the police station.

"The police station! Then why did you have me come here? Detective, what's going on?"

"Mr. Reid I think it would be better if we go downtown to talk about this!"

"Okay, do you want me to drive, or will an officer take me?"

"You Can drive yourself, Mr. Reid, I'll follow behind you."
