Twilight Murders

My eyes open, blurred and distorted the color seamed to have smeared from reality as I slowly came to. My chest felt like some one was drilling hot irons into it. My head was throbbing as well, I try to sit up but the pain is to much and I collapse back on to the ice cool snow. Slowly the color refills my surroundings, its still night. My memories are coming back, i blink a few times to clear my eyes completely. I slowly let my head swing to the side... whats that on the snow, its crimson and smells of iron, could that be. My eyes now focused on this red liquid, I notice it is blood, but who's blood is it. I try once again to sit up the pain rattles my body as I force my self to sit up, the blood had come from me. Looking down I notice four bullet holes still seeping warm blood out on to my clean pressed shirt. How much blood had I lost, is the bullets still in my chest, I need to get to a hospital right away.

A graying male tiger staggers to his feet from an alley way, dual light green eyes searches over the snow covered streets as he props him self against a light pole. He finally colapses into the street to the sound of an engine gurgling past him stops. Darkness draws the male tiger back into his sleep.

My eyes open quickly as I fell warmth under me, the pain its gone. Was i dead, no this couldn't be heaven. No not yet, I am going to find that slag that shoot me and left me for dead in that ally. I twisted my legs around pushing my legs from under the blankets, i felt a sting in my chest and arm, my paw draws quickly to the ivy in my elbow and rip it free, the alarms sound as i stumble to my feet. Nurse have rushed in, one is a big male rhino, He tells me to relax. Ha how can I when I know there's a sick freak out there killing any one he fells like offing. I grit my teeth as I push back against them, no use I might es well lay here for awhile. One of the females that came into the room stuck me in my right upper arm, a sting of pain as the darkness creeps back in on me. No use fighting it the darkness has called me in.

The light passes of a long day, A sound heard from a patients room. The sound of a nurses shoes scuffing the floor as she enters the near dark room. Her light orange red and black ears flick as her eyes slit. A gag warped around her canine maw as she try's to scream out, soon the nurse stops fighting and faints. A figure's head peeks out the door and soon the figure darts out the stair well and down the flights with out a sound.

I hope that nurse is alright, and i wasn't to harsh on her. The male draws down his fedora covering his eyes from the new falling snow. His eyes slitted as he walked down the snow covered side walks. I tug my collar up to keep the cold wind from blowing down my neck. I knew i should have worn that vest. Thinking of the vest what time is it? I look to the clock and deiced to start walking faster, it was late I needed to get to my office. There's no taxis driving, not a sign of any one on the streets, just my luck. My legs grow numb as I climb the stairs into the police station, eyes quickly glance on me. I don't like this, I feel as if something bad was going to happened. The cheif walks, Oh great hes coming this way, i already know what hes going to say. Go back to the hospital, rest up and than come back to work. No time to listen to this, I lift my fedora giving a glance around to find away to avoid him. A purp some one has brought in mutters something about how I should be dead, that I had been shot earlier. I move quickly, I reach my office. Quickly I lock the door behind me, flip the file open on my desk. Looking of the file trying to jog my memory on where i was. Finally a flash,I know what was going on, I was so close when the door knob twisted and opened. I flipped the folder shut and looks at the chief as he walked in. He said exactly what I thought he would say, I stood and slowly walked out the door. I really wish I could have gotten that folder out of their with out a problem. Oh well, I will return to the crime scene of my own shooting and find what I can there.

Yellow tape sounds the area the breeze picks up and cause it to wave uncontrolled. Snow blows into the ally way as the graying male tiger steps into the mouth of the ally. He looks slowly around as a car passes behind him, he glaces over his shoulder as he would walk into the ally way, His paws dug deep into his coat pockets as the wind riped through his heavy trench coat. His facial fur becoming ruffled from the wind. He came to where his body had lain the night before.

I brought my left hand to my jaw line, rubbing slowly trying to think of that night. Small blotches came and went, nothing as to what brought me to this ally. A drunk bum passed by coughing and wrecking of old whiskey and piss. Useless bums, always leeching off the working man, I thought to my self. Peering deeper into the ally I noticed what looked like tire tracks, Walking to them i also notice something shining in the snow. I slowly kneel down on my haunches. My claw pulls out a brass bullet casing. Was this a expelled shell from the gun that shot me, the only thought i could bring to mind. My eyes came back to the tire tracks, i lent down close to them. A pain, oh please don't let them stitches have ripped open. My hand clung to my chest, no not yet thank god. My fingers move to the indent in the snow. I was right they are a day old, maybe longer. I fallow the tracks out of the back of the ally into a street that was freshly plowed, yet another dead end. I laughed, the other night was nearly my dead end. I laughed harder than a pain raked my chest and I went silent. I move back to the scene of the crime. Something flickers in my mind, Murders go cheek the morgues. I moved out of the ally the sun was fading behind the city sky line. The clouds where breaking and light was shining through slightly. I waved down a taxi quickly as the wind picked up causing my fedora to lift some and reveals my eyes as I squint to keep the snow from clotting them.

A taxi slowly pulls up in front of the city morgue, the male climbs from the cab as he hands the driver some cash. He finally had changed out of his blood soaked clothing into a freshly clearn suit. The male stood at the bottom of the stairs and sighed softly. his lips moved and the only sound heard was the whistle of the wind, night had fallen and moon was just cresting over the skyline. The male ran up the stairs and knocked on the heavy wooden doors. A small Amerdillo male appeared in a crack of the doors, slowly motioning the tiger inside.

Well that was easier than expected, lets find out if that sicko has been busy. I thought to my self.

The male tiger removes his hat "I am sad to come to you this night, I was hoping to have been here earlier but I was investigating another case" The tiger said, reaching into his coat drawing out a badge and id.

"I expected one of the Detectives to be stopping by soon." The armadillo said softly "Come, come with me Detective Farris, I am Lenord De'Vulous the care taker here"

Lernod lead him to a closed glass door, he slowly opened it to reveal a stair well leading down into the basement. Lenord motioned for Farris to fallow behind him. Slowly they walked down the dimly light stair well.

"I thought you would like to know we got a body in a few moments ago" Lenord said again softly "A young bear cub was horribly mangled earlier today. I don't know if it will be relavant or not" as he lead Farris into a room with lockers on the wall a table covered with a sheet sta in the middle of the room.

It was cold in the room, I don't want to see this cub. But I have to see if this sicko attacked again. I slowly walked over and my eyes felt a sting of sadness seeing this creature laying on this table. Hardly any figure was left, what has this monster done to this kid. It was truely this mad mans calling card on this kid.

"Lenord, How long has she been dead?" Farris asked quietly placing the sheet back over the mangled corpse.

Softly Lenord spoke again "About" he placed a claw to his head scratching softly as he did a math problem "2 to 3 hours"

Farris' eyes light up as he would walk close to Lenord "Tell me where she was found, I need to know now" roaring out his last words. Lenord stumbles back some

"In the abandon building on St. Marth street" Lenord said softly once again, then got a questioning look "Wait, Detective Farris. You got shot a night ago, where you not?" his eyes narrowing on Farris

"Yes, and the last thing I do is to catch this mad man than be it, don't worry I am fine to hunt him down" Farris said quickly moving up the stairs.

As I cross the street the strong smell of sex, and alcohol rushes up my nostrils. The sound of music playing loudly from the bars echo out onto the starlight street, I am now on St. marth Street nothing but run down buildings. A few hookers casing for a Joe, I am not interested in what they are dong. One comes up to me and try to sell off the same story we hear a lot, her kids are starving she could use the money. I brush past her as she starts tossing profane words at me, I ignore them all. A elderly couple rush past crossing the street to find warmth in a low class resturant. I come to stand in the shadow of a long abandoned apartment building, My hair starts to bristle as if something abnormal was about to leap on me. I start up the stoop, reaching the door I try the handle. My luck its locked, looking over my shoulder, no ones around, i use my shoulder to force the door to swing open. I walk in slowly, my right hand slowly sliding into my coat grasping my revolver, my foot steps the only sound. The building smelt of cleaning supplies, water stains running down the wall. I started bugging doors in, On the third floor I hear what sounds like some one speaking. Stepping as quietly as i can i come to the door, it was cracked. I peeked into the crack seeing a male pacing over a chalk outline of a small figure. I feel a low growl coming up in my throat, I slam the door open, my revolver coming to pin point the male. My voice cracked out in a fierce growl "Don't move!"

The male swung around and stared wide eyed at my revolver as he dropped a pistol, and softly gulped out "I did nothing, you ain't got nothing on me."

I knew he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, I moved to him "So why are you here than?" anger griping through me as a pain started to swell in my chest.

He in awe replied "I...I was... I was supposed to meet some one here."

A smile crept my face "Than we can wait together." I motioned with my revolver to sit on a chair that was plainly stripped of time.

He moved to the chair, a young wolf male. Nearly in his prime sat on the chair placing his hands on his knees as his right bounced some.

I watched him as more foot steps came up the hallway, I looked at the male he was now still as a brick wall.

He looked up "Hes here, hes going to kill me"

I looked at the door, and sunk back into a shadowy corner. The male stood up quickly i snarled and snapped softly "Don't tip him, I will kill you, and who ever it is with out warning" My back bushed into the corner as i watched a figure move into the room, a tall older wolf stepped into view. Was that him, a flash came to me of the other night of a tall figure firing a pistol. I shook my head, no this wasn't him. He was to broad, my eyes narrowed and stepped out "Don't move, I have a few qust..." the broad wolf drew with a jerk, a pistol in his hand he fired multiple shots, I leap from the corner behind a wall for cover.

"Come out you stinking prick tiger, and I will make this quick" the voice deep and breathless. Another fire rang out.

The other male spoke "Why, I told him nothing. he surprised me and you surprised him" the words struggled as I lent out and seen the younger male on the ground holding his chest.

I heard his foots running from the apartment I took chase, the pain swelled more in my chest. I am not going to let this prick get away. I brought my peace up and fired a shot. The broad wold stumbled as the bullet passed through his left leg, he landed face first into the snow, he spun on his back and fired more shots. I ducked quickly behind a parked car giving out a loud roar. My ears perked as the male spoke up "Them bullet holes getting to you old man" he laughed hardly "I am not speaking one word to you swine" as one other gun shot rang out, it was muffled.

I jumped from behind the car the males mouth blew smoke as I stood there "Just great, only lead to what happen is here now dead" I went over and ruffled through his cloths finding a card from one of the local bars, a smile pressed my lips "Oh look you dumb fuck, you left a good clue" as I would now realize i was speaking to a corpse missing the top of his skull.

A tiger walks into the bar smoke swirls the air as the rank smell of stale cigarette smoke and liquor is mixed in. Heavy breath as he walks into the bar, a few boars playing pool look at him they where dressed slobly in biker rags and leathers. a few few coyotes remaining seated at the bar, a mink bar tender rushes back and forth trying to keep them happy as she serve them drinks. The male tiger plops down on the stool near the door, the mink smiles to him.

My eyes adjust to the light of the dual bar, them boars might become a problem. I dare say I recognize this mink, but from where. I sit there and she finally wonders down to me. I order a rum and coke, she scurry away to make the drink, She returns with the drink in hand. Now this is the point I need to be a sly as possible. I place the card on the counter and she gasps softly. I knew it, this had to be where a huge find would be.

"Can you tell me where i may find the man this card belongs to" Farris said heavily to the female mink.

She nodded quickly "yes, hes in the back room, if you want i will take this playing card back to him" she tried to grasp the card out of Farris' paw

Drawing the card back "Nah i will take it back to him" Luckily the playing card was wrote on with the bars name and a time, that wolf was a real nimrod.

She swallowed hard "Oh.. okay, just through that back door and take a left."

I stood up not even bothering to have tasted the drink, most likely stale. I walked to the door as i heard one of the boars sequel out.

"Hey you, you rotten swine" he would laugh "Get your rotten kitty ass out of my bar punk"

I felt a shock of wood cress my shoulders as one of them had cracked me a crossed the back with a pool cue, His mistake. I took the broken piece of cue.

"Hmm seams you broke your cue" Farris said, he knew he would have a bruise on his back.

The boars eyes flared "Hey man just get out of my bar"

Farris laughed "Your bar" the mink was rushing to the phone.

A thought flashed into my mind, the cue idiot. I flung the broken cue a crossed to slam the phone off the receiver, great idea, now for this fucking swine. I slammed my fist into the face of the one that snapped the cue a cross my back, He stumbled back against the pool table the second one was moving around the table, he was slightly more broad than the first one. I had no time, not even a moment to move out of his rock hard fist as it slammed into my chest. Knocking the air out of me and warping my whole body into pain, the lights fluttered as i would quickly grab a bar stole and slam it against the boars face. Thank god, he dropped like a rock, the other two panicked and ran from the bar. My chest felt wet, i quickly cheeked my chest with my paw. Nothing, thank god just small seeps from the wrappings. I kept my arm crossed my chest crossing the floor to the door, I pushed it open to see a small female rabbit sitting behind a table two male wolfs sitting in front of her with their backs to me. Perfect I thought, I quickly grabbed both males under their jaws and yanked their heads back.

"Hello boys, how are we tonight." Farris said with a pain tight voice.

The male wolfs laughed hard as Farris' nails dug into their jaws. The female jumped up and ran out as quickly as she could. One of the males spoke up "So the great Detective Farris lives still"

"Hmm seams so, we might have to finish what the boss started" the other said

A grin pressed Farris' mouth as he would slam the wolf on his left back on to the ground, placing his foot in his chest. Farris looked at the other male "So what boss would this be"

The male spit in Farris' face and laughed. Farris stomped the one on the ground sending him into howling pains. The sound out side the door was of people hurrying out the door, as Farris lifted the wolf in his right hand out of his chair, his left hand balled up and slammed into the wolfs face, than again, and again. The one on the ground remained howling in pain as Farris crushed his friends face in. Each blow Farris brought into the wolfs face could be heard as clear as a bell ring, each blow was bone shaking. Soon the male Farris unleashed his furry on dropped into the corner whimpering as a beaten dog would. The one on the ground was clambering to stand up, Farris turned quickly and landed a hard shot kick right into his ribs. The wolf howled out loudly as he griped his chest gasping for air and now curling up.

"Now we going to talk, or are we going to have to make it harder?" Farris asked as he rubbed his fist slightly, the pain in it was numbing out the pain in his chest.

The male gasping for air choked some "We only know that the boss was going to make a move on First National Bank"

Farris growled softly "Has he been murdering? as he moved to the male, gripping his collar drawing his face near the wolfs face

"yes, he has. he claims this city as his... and your Farris he swore he gunned you down" he coughed hard, it rattled his body.

Farris laughed hard as he would pick the wolf up "So you spill your guts so easily" as he put him in the chair brushing him off, now playing the good cop aspect. "Tell me, when does your boss plan on hitting this bank?"

He was coughing hard, I must have got him good. Wait is he coughing up blood, I couldn't have got him that good. His eyes are dilating, no he cannot die on me.

Farris quickly moved and tossed the wolf on the table and started to listen to his chest. Their was a flutter than a thud, than another flutter. Farris had ruptured the wolfs heart, he was bleeding out inside and Farris would now have to turn on the other one. The wolf on the table goes limp as Farris turned to the male coward in the corner.

"Are you going to talk, or am I needing to rough you up some more" Farris said in a calm tone.

The male shook his head "I am not going to tell you nothing, you can kill me. Your not getting a word out of me" as he spat on Farris' shoes, a mix of mucus and blood.

Farris smiled, and picked him up from the corner. placing handcuffs on him he walked him out of the back room. "Hey Mink, call the corner this ones coming down town, the other one... well lets say he bleed out to much information"

My mind dulled as i was breaking up these guys, I had no car to take him in. First thought was to take a cab, Nah he could try to get away. I slam him up the hood of a car, put my elbow through the wind and unlock the doors, I shove him inside the car. I climb in the driver seat and rip open the steering column. Easy enough how it is to hot wire a car, I push the car into drive and take off. I know the perfect place to question this 'big bad wolf' and he won't like it as much as I will.

A car drives up the street and slams on the breaks, an old run down building towers the car. Farris climbs from the car and drags the wolf out, nearly dragging him into the building.

"Welcome to our police station" Farris said slamming open the doors, taking him to the third floor of the out line little child, he slammed the wolf into the chair. the chair flips on its back and the wolf tumbles to the ground. The wolf is wielder with disbelief.

"Hey man I ain't saying shit, so let me go." the wolf grunted as he clambered to his knees.

"I will once you tell me what I need to know." as he would move over picking him and the chair up, this time placing the wolf into the seat.

"I want a fucking attorney to see what you did to me, i will have your badge fuck head" the wolf snapped.

Farris laughed as he would reach into the wolfs breast pocket drawing out a wallet "Is that so Mr. Callbris, we will see"

He tossed the wallet on to the floor, as he would look around the room.

"Hey man whats with this chalk line on the ground? That's a kid right?" The wolf spoke calmly

Farris turned to him quickly "Yeah, your boss did this to a small bear cub a few hours ago, you got a problem in being some where some one has died?" Farris snarled at the male, threatening him to go on.

The male swallowed hard "Hey my boss killed no kids, you got this wrong"

Farris' brow and eyes narrowed at the male "What do you mean Mr. Callbris"

"He don't kill kids, only ass hole cops like you prick" The wolf said.

Could this be true, Is he speaking the truth. If hes never heard of his boss killing kids it could be true.

"Alright Callbris, if your boss doesn't murder kids, maybe you can tell me who does" Farris said cailmly

The wolf swallowed hard and finally spoke up "Theres a big wig trying to bully in on the under scene his names Taris, or Tanaris one of the two. He claimed he shot a cop the other night. He was in the bar the other night gloating about it. The boss was none to happy about it, He got a huge bounty on his head from every Mob in the city. I guess the cops are even searching him out... Wait your the cop he shot aren't ya'?"

Farris snorted "Don't let good information degrade your grammar, Now tell me what you know what hes after."

Mr. Callbris shakes his head "Something about letting the world burn, and sending the innocent on their way."

It sounds like the truth, he is murdering little kids all over. The bosses would have a hit out on him, along with a huge bounty by now. I'll let this guy go sit awhile in lock up. Why does it still feel like somethings about to happend though, that your going to die felling.

A faint laugh is heard out side "Die Mr Farris, YOU DIE NOW!"

From out side the building erupts as flames break out the windows, the building trembles as a explosives start sounding at the base of the building.

Quickly I need to get out of here, but what of him, unlock him and RUN. I quickly unlock the handcuffs, Good hes running out the door, now for me, I run behind him but soon the floor its giving away. I stop and watch the wolf falling into a blaze, hes screaming in pain, what now. Quickly I turn and start rushing up the stairs. Floor 4 rushes past me as I leap up stair to stair, soon the flame rushes up the middle of the building. This guy really wants me dead. The railings are now on fire, is this the end of me. I rush up higher and higher my lungs are on fire, i am gasping for air as i rush out the rough top door, now what. The building sways under my feet as it starts to shiver as it is about to collapse and send me into a fiery hell of pain and death.
