PROLOGUE
20/03/2016
It was 6:00am and as usual my alarm clock woke me up. I got up, showered and got dressed. As I left for work, I got a phone call. It was Harris. "Morning, John! There's been another murder on 5th avenue. We need you at work ASAP!" said Harris. " Okay, I'll be there in 5 minutes!" I said. Sorry I never introduced myself: My name is John Hawkins and I am 45 years old. I work for the MIA in London. The MIA is a Murder Investigation Agency that is known well for it's successes in uncovering murders. As I walked down the cold and chilly street, I felt a presence. I turned around....nothing. I walked on not knowing that someone.....something was watching me.
