Ghost detective: underworld

Chapter 1: My life

Today is November the 21st 1930 I am lead detective of the Chicago police department. I've had a rough time getting here. Bad beatings and rough times on the streets.

I was a bad kid at first I had trouble learning and struggled in school nobody would help and my parents treated me horribly, every time i got a bad grade they would take the paddle and hit me with it, over time red marks started to appear on my butt and lower back.

The next day i return home from school and i come in the door and see my dad sitting on the stairs  with his eyebrows facing downwards with the angriest look in his eyes, this is the angriest i have ever seen him.

He tells me that school just called and told him that i received an F in the exam and later on in the afternoon the teacher caught me fighting with the school bully and he saw me give him a bloody nose and a black bruised eye, the kid deserved it so detention was worth it but i didn't think she'd call my parents, i thought detention was enough.

Dad got up and walked to mother and shouted for her to get the paddle, i turn around and shout that i won't let him do this.

so i decided to  tell him i have had  enough and i am going to run away from home and get away from all the trouble maybe i could find some calm.

I rush upstairs and burst into my room and throw all the closes i have upstairs in my wardrobe into my bag, i zip the bag up and run to the door and open the lock, Dad comes towards me angrily but mom puts her hand on his shoulder to hold him back and calm him down.

I unlock the door and rush outside and run to safety to find somebody i knew.

Dad walked away and mom watched me at the doorway and i looked back and saw her wiping away a tear with a tissue, i run into the night.

I decide i can find sanctuary at my girlfriend Sophie's house.

I run down the street and round the corner and walk down her driveway and knock on the big brown door, her mom Lindsey a slightly chubby lady with red hair opens up and sees me and greets me, she asks what i am doing out so late at night, i tell her i had a dispute and i need to talk to Sophie, Sophie comes down in her white night gown and long blond flowing hair. she comes out the door and holds my shoulders, i tell her we need to talk about my problems somewhere private, i tell her i know the perfect place with the perfect view, i take Sophie's hand and she turns to her mom and waves and says she'll be back in a minute, her mom tells her not to be long and to be careful.

We make our way to the nearest bridge and when we got there we rest on the bridge rail and take in the nice view,  she asks why i brought her down here? She asks if  if there was something she was forgetting like an anavirsery or something? But i turned to her and explained i just wanted some peace and a moment to feel loved, she put her hand on my back and rubbed it and kissed my cheek and she tells me not to worry because she loves me so much.

Suddenly some thugs wearing jean jackets and ripped jeans and various coloured Mohawks that were smoking quite away from us didn't like that i was in their territory they looked mad, they walked towards us angrily and asked me to get off their turf, Sophie saw the thug walk towards me and cowered in fear behind me safe knowing i'll protect her.

They walked beside each other and pulled out their knives, Sophie looked at me and suggested we run i hold her hand and run as quick as i could to find some help and get these kids off my back.

We get off the bridge and onto the near city near the houses and Sophie and i scream for help but there is nobody on the street, it's late and everybody is asleep.

But they were still on our back and eventually they ran at the same speed as me and Sophie and caught up to me and tackled me to the snowy ground, Sophie let go of my hand and ran to a safe distance and watched screaming and crying not to hurt me.
