Detective Derek Adler made a name for himself in New York City after dismantling the case of the Velvet Mist. He spent the Jazz Age dancing and making one-night connections, allowing whispers to follow him during Prohibition as he ended his nights stumbling loosely back home, making a fool of himself with no repercussions. Born with a chip on his shoulder, he could do no wrong, and well into the Great Depression, he remained beloved.
Beloved by all, that is, except for James Anderson, who vowed many years ago to expose the detective for who he truly was: a liar and a coward. 
It isn't until 1936 that the men's paths permanently intertwine, stringing together the horrid truths of the details of the Velvet Mist case.All Rights Reserved

Quarantine Madness by BenedictMangwato

It all started with some virus, i think. Some nasty bug that got off the Wuhan express and left the world locked up in their own homes. I didn't care though. Hell, i liked the peace and quiet: No damn girl scouts knocking on my door asking for cash, less traffic, and more beer for me down at the local pub. Yes-sir-ee no complaints here. Well...That was before some sick fuck came along and decided,"hey maybe i should start mercilessly slaughtering people. That'd be a great use of everyone's time." Anyway lets get this shit show on the road. The name's Duke van Dukhevic, my friends call me duke. You unfortunately aren't one of them, but cheer up, if you shut, listen and do as i say.... ...You still wont be my friend; but you would have had a experience so new and exhilarating, it would make for a great story. Anyway, lets get started....
