Little Liar.

Animal Nitrate (1)

I guess I was respected for as long as I can remember. My best friend is Alex and he's basically the sweetest Chief Constable there is. I remember when I was applying for the job he had a twinkle in his eye, almost like he had found the right man. Soon I met Matt, Jamie and Nick. Sometimes we go drinking together after a long shift. I love alcohol! Girls when you have alcohol in your hand will be prepared to hear any old tale. Alex warns me that some of them women are prostitutes and they'll rob me blind. I know he's talking honesty but he too needs to calm down. Nick is my go to guy for tips on keeping a bird longer than an hour. Nick has 2 kids of his own so he knows the ins and outs of romance. At least in our group. Matt is a talented photographer, no crime is ever not seen by us as he is able to camouflage in with surroundings. Jamie is the comedian and introvert of our group, he says he was going to become one of them comedians on a British show called Live At The Apollo. Of course sadly, yet happily he is in the police force and is amazing at handling youth. That's it about my friends.

I moved here because of an incident. I used to be in a gang called The Rascals doing no good to anyone or anything. In the UK I was seen by many (even the government) as a serious threat. One day I came home in serious agony as my boss Eva had tortured me by punching me hard until I threw up and screamed for her to stop. I was in so much agony I collapsed in my bathroom. My body was so thin back then as I was rapidly loosing weight and trying to stay alive due to torture. My girlfriend Agnes came home late from a party and found me bleeding big time. That was the last time I would be in a gang. Luckily no one knows my past. At least no one I think.

I was zoning out at my desk again. I have barely eaten all week, my boss tries to help me as we are already short handed. "Miles, I won't ask you again. Please eat, for us." Alex begged trying to get my attention. I shook my head to focus on him. "You can't stay here any longer." I heard Agnes sob behind me but it was just a trick of the mind. Agnes wasn't my girlfriend anymore, she was too scared of my life. "Alex, it's 10am I don't do food." I sighed rolling my eyes. True. Alex muttered something before coming over to my desk and was shaking in fear. I was one of his best men. "Please Miles, you haven't been yourself lately. If you need a break from duties. Let me know." He whispered seriously. I felt shivers all over me so I got up and headed to the main entrance. I needed the fresh air.

I breathed in the sweet but polluted air and let out a quiet sob. Memories of my gang years were tackling me hard. I watched people go by but everything was blurry. Sounds. Sights. Tastes. Smells. Feelings. All blurry. "Miles, we need your help on a case about an Eva Peterson from 2008." Jamie demanded when he saw me. I heard that name and began getting a memory of this EXACT case. I was also a part of it.

"Eva, don't do this. What if Brett comes here? Y'know to meet the guys in Echo & The Bunnymen. We need to be here incase." I pleaded. I lied that he'd be here. I was so done with gang life. But if I stopped I'd have no money. "Shut up Kane. Brett is on tour tomorrow we want to be a step ahead." James hissed before injecting me with more drugs. "Okay then Kane. You can stay here with my finest guard Tim. You guys will get on just fine." Eva laughed before leaving.

"Did you hear what I just said?" Jamie asked anxiously trying to pull me away from the memories. It was too painful. "Sorry. Yeah, go on. I'll help." I stammered shaking. Jamie pattered my shoulder and smiled. "Good guy. Good guy. Always ready to help aren't you." He replied before handing me the notes from the case. I started having nausea and nearly threw up just reading it. I knew Eva was still out there. She probably wants me dead. "Miles. Why don't you go home this afternoon? Me and the guys will locate Eva and her group this afternoon." He suggested. I choked on air. Other members. That meant me, James, Alfie and Edd. "Miles. Please stop overworking!" Jamie pleaded trying to stop my stress. I ran inside and locked myself in the bathroom.

I began hyperventilating and crying. All symptoms were unlike me. Asides the hyperventilating. I get that a lot. I heard the guys talking on the other side wondering what to do as this was unlike me. Unlike me to show a sensitive side. Unlike me to show a scared side. "Miles can you hear us?" Alex asked nervously as he was right beside the door, I began getting nausea and felt a ghostly hand strangle me. "It is so easy to hide but it's harder to stay that way." The voice giggled. Agnes. I began to feel like I was suffocating so I let out a murderous scream. Alex cursed and got his keys to open it just as I fell unconscious and a memory came up by surprise.

"Kane if you want anything to eat then maybe you should have gone with them." Tim hissed before coming up to me with a knife. I trembled before looking down. Everyone was gone. "Come on amaze me!" Tim smirked as got closer. I began sweating. "Dance for me Hornwood." He laughed before pulled me away from the wall. I gulped. He laughed wickedly and chanted, "Dance little Liar. Dance dance dance!" I nodded and began a basic tap dance.

He laughed evilly and got a rope and slapped me with it. It hurt. "No no no...do me something punky." He groaned through his evil laugh. Then the phone rang. I froze and was so exhausted. His eyes widened. "I will get that. Keep dancing." He smirked before answering it.
"Hey. Its Shadow speaking."
"Is Kane behaving?"
"Yes. He's doing well. Are you seeing the video."
"Its like being in the room with him. Make sure he's too exhausted to eat."
"Of course. I'll chat more when he sleeps."
"Thank you Shadow."
"You're Welcome Puppet"
Then he hung up and slapped me with the rope but it knocked me out.

I reawoken in another room "Tim...where did you go?" I asked looking around trying to work out where I was. A bed. "Ah, Miles you're awake." A voice said coming to my side. "Tim?!" I panicked as they stroked my arm. This wasn't Tim. It was Alex. "You've been out for 3 hours." He sighed, instantly worrying me. What did I miss? Why was I here? Did I die? "Who is Tim?" Alex asked confused about my panic. I began shaking my head. "TIM?!?!" I sobbed as Alex grew scared about me. "Nick...get me something to make him calm." He trembled rushing to the door. Nick nodded and went off. A second later he came in with an injection. Memories of my past grew again. I started begging for my life. Alex stopped and then it clicked. "You're scared of your past." He gasped just as Nick injected something that made everything black.
