~ The ocean's midnight zone is a region where no sunlight at all penetrates the frigid water. Thus all animals there are predators or scavengers. ~ Kaiko works for the mafia by choice. In fact, he loves his job, to roam through this dark and dangerous city. And he's damn good at it, he always traces down his targets. Ari is a mistress of disguise who can become anyone- anyone but her actual self, daughter of one of the city's most powerful families of conglomerates. When Ari's brother Zuko goes missing she asks a private investigator for help, not knowing his true motives. A dangerous race begins. Who will get to Zuko first? And at what price? Author's Note: I have thought a lot wether I should publish this or not. Writing about a fictional character is one thing but about a real character is another. So I want to make clear that the artist was merely the inspiration for the male protagonist. In my stories I try to capture a certain vibe and Kaiko was created through the impression I've gotten from I.M.'s "God Damn" MV. Usually I finish a story before publishing it so I can control the storyline. But this work somehow demanded a different approach so I want to try developing the story as I keep writing. It's possible that some changes of published chapters will be necessary or inconsistencies may occur. ! Contains mature content, strong language, depiction of violence. Potential trigger warnings will be issued at the beginning of the respective chapters. Lastly, enjoy! Let me know if you like it by commenting and liking! Thank youuu ~~~All Rights Reserved
