The small city of Isba

It all comes together

Standing at the door of the supposed abandoned warehouse, I held my gun with a steady hand. This was my best chance to finally discover the truth about my brother's murder and I felt I was ready to take on anything that I might discover within those walls. The door creaked open and I slowly peaked inside, only to see nothing. Creeping my way further into the building, I analized my surroundings. A wide open space with a few boxes made up the first floor, and there were no signs of a door other than the one that allowed my entrance. With nothing of value found in the first floor, I slowly ascended the stairs. As I reached the top, my hands began to sweat and my heart pounded in my ears. This is where I would discover the truth.

My head rose above the stairs and allowed my eyes to roam the floor of the new room. This floor had a large support wall, which hid the bodies of three voices I heard. I silently crept up the rest of the steps and stood near the wall's edge and listened in on the conversation. "You do realize that we have to dispose of the current police force if we are going to instill actual judgement on this city." A gruff voice stated in an almost sarcastic tone. "Of course I do, I have everything under control. If you would just focus on your own job then you wouldn't be bothered." A warm voice that was almost familiar spoke before a female voice began. "She's been really close on our tail as of late. Care to explain, Trevor?" My eyes widened and I stepped back in surprise.

The room was silent, 'They must have heard me!' I thought as my panic spiked. Without any more hesitation, I spun on my heel and bolted down the stairs, and not a moment too soon. Racing down the stairs I heard two pair of shoes chasing after me. Jumping down the rest of the stairs, I dived for cover behind the closest boxes I could find. The footsteps began traveling around the first floor in search of me. I would definitely be caught; I reached into my jacket and pressed a button on a specialized mechanism I kept on me for this occasion. Completing my actions not a moment too soon as a pair of hands suddenly reached out and gripped my wrists.

My gun was immediately taken from me and I was roughly dragged out from my hiding spot. My eyes instantly landed on a face I recognized so well, "Trevor." My eyes widened in shock as he squatted in front of me. "Well I didn't think you'd meet my friends like this." The Trevor I thought I knew and loved said giving me a sickeningly sweet smile that would usually make my heart race. I gritted my teeth, "What are you planning to do to the police force, to my dad!"
