A series of clicking noise could be heard in a room.

  "Nashi Niro" Gino mumbled.

  That was the victim of the murder was found this morning. They haven't gotten the autopsy report yet so they wouldn't know when she died and how. However, the how was obvious enough for a normal person to figure it out.

  "None...none.....none"

  Currently, Gino was writing a report to the city's security since Julo was the one that found the body. He wasn't in the department since they were currently interviewing him.

  "A strength based Uncoiled may be involved"

  He typed effectively without missing a single key and mistyping. After all, he had work like this for a couple of years now.

  'I wondered how my co-workers are doing'

  He suddenly thought about his co workers and immediately dismissed the thought as he focused on the report.

  "and...sent"

  He got up from his chair and walked to the door when a notification popped up on his screen. Normally, he would just wait until he was back on the computer, however, he had a feeling that ignoring this one would cause his life to be put at risk.

  He read the text.

  The person who sent it was his supervisor, he replied almost instantly after he sent the report. It seems like the higher ups were waiting for the report to come in.

  —This is probably done by a gang or some sort. From the look of it, the culprit is most likely the skull crusher. More specifically, the one from the ripper gang or whatever what that means.

  —Don't get confused because of the other gangs with the same name. This one is the one that has been rampaging for the last 2 years.

  —The interviewing report from the police station suggested that the one that attacked her was in the same gang.

  —We currently have enough evidence to terminate the gang in question, so go with that if you have the resources.

  —They also said to make Julo an Uncoiled with contribution points and make it seem like he deserved it.

  Gino's eyes darted through the message and turned off the computer.

  He stretched before leaving the room to find Julo in order to interest him in joining in the mission.

  He really didn't want to let such a weak person join a seriously dangerous mission but it wasn't like he had a choice.

  He found him sitting in the receptionist seat and looking a little down. However, he didn't notice Gino as he was entirely focused on his laptop, working on something.

  It was only after he waved his hand that he noticed him.

  Julo smiled and raised his hand, seemingly trying to say hi.

  "What do you need?" He asked. There were some fatigue in his voice but one could easily miss it.

  "We're short on people, right now, so I was wondering if you can help arrest a person in a gang"

  Bullshit.

  It was simply bullshit.

  They were not short of people but Gino had to make it sounded like they were desperate in order to sound more convincing.

  Gino hate doing this but since it was a order, not a request. He had no choice but to do this.

  Julo didn't say anything for a short time before replying.

  "I don't think I'm the right person to do this. There are better options out there, you know."

  Gino suddenly paused for a bit, not knowing what to do in this situation.

  It was then a voice sounded from behind.

  "People knows most police officer in the area. You are the only one that people do not know."

  Julo looked behind Gino and stared at the man behind. It was Winston.

  "Other than the members, of course."

  He smiled.

  Gino looked behind, his stare seemingly saying 'what are you doing here'.

  As if Winston knew what he was saying, he gave him a look that said 'You're terrible at lying'.

  Flustered, Gino rolled his eyes and looked back at Julo.

  "You in?" Winston said, expecting a yes from him. If he says no then he couldn't do anything about it. It wasn't like he could force him to join.

  Julo looked puzzled for a while before making a decision.

  I wouldn't mind becoming a officer. Hm, my physical ability are concerning though. He thought for a bit before deciding to say yes.

  His physical ability weren't needed much when he had a perfectly working gun. If a individual managed to take his gun away then he have a plan to resolve that. Albeit, a bit risky but it was better than nothing.

  "I'm in" His tone had some nervously in it but that was to be expected.

  "Great" Winston said with a loud voice and a smile.

  He took out a paper that seemed to be a contract. He handed it to Julo. He took a look at the contract and read it carefully. It was a promotion contract.

  He had signed one when he got here but that was a normal contract where he couldn't leak the information he learned and more.

  However, this one seemed to be a more serious kind, it said he couldn't tell anyone what work he does and to tell them he's working as a police officer and a detective if somebody asks.

  Despite this, one thing caught his attention. It was about being able to become an Uncoiled if one managed to get enough contribution points.

  Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

  Julo was like any other individual, he wanted to gain special power, albeit not as extreme as other people.

  From what he knows, every member were an Uncoiled other than Gino's since it was classified.

  He took a pen and wrote his signature which drained a bit of the Pen's ink. Just as he was about to give it to Winston he remembered something. He pressed his thumb on the fingerprint part.

  With that, he gave it to Winston.

  "Here's the target" Winston gave a sheet of a paper to Julo.

  "If you need the security camera then you got permission to use it. Although, some cameras are off limit."

  Julo took the paper and decided to get to work for a bit.

  "I'll get going to now" Gino said as he walked into his office.

  Although his work was done, he wanted to play a few games to take off the stress he's having. There weren't a lot of games he like but the one he liked were really enjoyable to him.

  He sat down and turned on the computer.

  "Let's play, I guess"

  ***

  A person with black hair walked into the building. He didn't come here since he was a bit busy, yesterday. As he walked up the stairs, he saw a door he was familiar with. It was the entrance to the main part of the building.

  The first floor was mainly for people wanting a detective, it was full of some detective they hired to stay there. If a case have an Uncoiled or some Versile thing then they would need to call Gino for help.

  He opened the door and walked in.

  There he saw Julo sitting in the receptionist's chair and reading a document.

  So he got hired as a receptionist huh. He thought to himself.

  Just as he was about to go to the living room he noticed something at the corner of his eyes.

  A symbol that only low level classified document have.

  "What are you doing with a classified document?" He asked.

  That's when he finally noticed him, he waved a hand and replied.

  "Gino asked me to arrest a gang member and coincidentally it happened to be the one that killed her"

  "Oh"

  He heard about it from Travestita from his phone. It was really unfortunate, really. He decided to not bother him any longer since if Gino asked him then he doesn't need to question him.

  The possibility of him lying didn't even cross his mind since him getting these documents would mean the main security department gave it to him. And, the security department was really secured.

  He walked into the living room and sat down.

  ***

  "The skull crusher, huh" He mumbled.

  What kind of edgy name is that? The ripper gang? Did some 13 years old named these gang?

  Currently, he was trying to figure out the location of the person. The higher-ups already figured out that he's the culprit behind the killing. As for how? They just managed to catch him while viewing the camera since fortunately it wasn't raining and it wasn't blocking the camera heavily to the point of covering the face.

  'Likes working out, loves drinking coffee' I could work with this.

  Julo searched for the nearest cafe and gym available, it might take long but since he didn't have a deadline, it was ok to take as long as he could. He was really weak and because of this he couldn't go and just arrest him since he might resist.

  He needed to take this slowly or his life may be at risk.

  "There's a gym 5 minutes away from her house" He mumbled. He checked his gun and adjusted the voltage on the shock to be able to work on an Uncoiled's enhanced body. He could adjust it to work on a higher rank like Gino but he doubt that he could get a surprise attack on them and it was a bit overkill for an Uncoiled. He would also need to wait 30 minutes or so to recharge the gun and because of this, if he missed then he was as good as done.

  He stood up and left the building to find the 'skull crusher'.

  Just as he was about to leave it started raining. Thankfully, he wasn't fully out of the building yet so he had enough time to change into his raincoat. He changed into his raincoat and left for the cafe first.

  He didn't know much about the cafe other than the fact that it's pretty popular around here. Although, it's not as popular as Moe's Delight. Still, it's a popular liked by many. Julo was looking forward to trying it after he was done with the mission. Who knows, maybe he might get a favourite cafe. It's still fine if he doesn't like it, he had many places to go to. Albeit, he liked the restaurant back at home way better than here.

  After a while of walking, he finally found himself in front of the cafe. He opened the door and walked inside. Instantly, his nose filled up with a sweet aroma of several items. For a moment, he forgot about what he was suppose to do only to snap out of it. He sat down on the nearest table and grabbed the menu. However, before he ordered anything, he looked around searching for the crusher.

  And he found him.

  A man with yellow hair and a slim body was sitting right beside Julo's table. Julo looked at him and then turned back to the menu. Pretending to just look around for the waiter.

  After the waiter arrived, he got a few foods to eat while observing him. He watched him in the corner of his eyes and bit into the food. His eyes wided at the taste of the cake.

  He took a chuck of the cake with another bite and so on. Thankfully, he managed to snap out of it a few seconds later and to look the target only to see the seat empty. There were a few items he didn't eat and left. Julo quickly got up to follow him when he remember the cake he was having.

  'No, this is a serious matter'

  Resisting the temptation, he put 100 on the table and exited the cafe. He looked around frantically searching for him, after a few seconds he managed to lock onto the target. He was only a few meters away from the cafe and seemingly looking for something or someone. However, he soon gave up and walked away.

  Julo followed after him. Of course, he didn't make it look too obvious, consistently switching streets and more technique he knows of. However, he didn't get any stalking training beforehand and due to this he didn't know if he was being obvious or not but he could only hope he wasn't.

  After a while, the crusher entered the gym and started working out.

  Julo took out his laptop in a nearby alley for the security cameras. Fortunately, the laptop was water proof so he wouldn't need a roof to use it.

  On the screen, he could see him lifting weights that shouldn't make sense for his body.

  The scene was almost like a comedy comic book, a thin looking guy lifting a heavy dumbbell. However, this was a huge worries for Julo since he was sure he would be knocked out cold if he gets hit by that.

  He looked carefully at the camera to look if he's heading for the exit.

  Eventually, he opened a water bottle and drank it. It looked like he was done for the day.

  He walked out of the camera view towards the exit. Julo double checked his gun to make sure it was on the right settings.

  He switched the camera to the exit and waited for him to come out.

  He waited. Waited for around 2 minutes.

  Julo impatiently switched the cameras to find him in one of the views.

  Wait wait wait. He double checked the cameras to make sure he was just missing him.

  'Shit' He was missing. He was just in the gym a moment ago but he was gone before he exited the building.

  'Calm down' Julo took deep breath and thought for a second. The only two explanation on why he disappeared was that he exited through the backdoor or he was just simply using the bathroom.

  However, these two possiblity was very unlikely since the time it took to the bathroom and backdoor exit was above 4 minutes since the place was huge.

  Unless, he ran.

  "Are you worried?" A voice suddenly sounded from behind.

  Julo's face suddenly paled and did what his instinct told him to do.

  Dodge.

  Julo moved to the side to dodge a non imaginary attack. However, the attack wasn't that imaginary, the wall suddenly dented and the building shook a little. It was then he looked closely at the attack that he realized that it was a fist.

  The fist was strangely blurry that only revealed itself after being closely observed.

  "Huh"

  Julo suddenly felt a feeling of dread as he dodged to the right.

  Air suddenly blasted on his face was he felt that he had narrowly avoided death.

  "Hm"

  Julo raised his hand to shoot the taser but just as he almost pressed on the trigger he hesitated for a second.

  "That won't work on. I have device on me that explodes if I die."

  Right after he said that he tried to punch the gun out of his hand. However, Julo flinched and the gun fell onto a nearly trash can.

  "Geez, how unprepared are you"

  Julo dodged again.

  "Fucking loser. Can't even beat a normal person" Julo provoked him into making predictable moves. However, he managed to see through it and keep on punching.

  Julo dodged again. However, this time he lost his balance for a moment but that moment was enough for the crusher to deliver a move that is undodgeable.

  Julo raised his arm to block the attack but it was only buying some time. The attack made him fall to the ground and unable to fight out. He laughed.

  "Why did they even send you?" He taunted him with a grin.

  His arm raised yet again, the direction was now after his head. The humid wind was dragged along the fist as it slowly made its way over to his skull in Julo's view.

  On a wet trash bin, a metallic gun shifted slightly to the right within Julo's view. Hearing the movement, the fist paused as his neck spun to an unnatural degree to the source of the noise.

  However, it was too late.

  A flash light of light spread across the surface of the surroundings as the bright red crimson blood slowly flowed out of his head.

  The noise echoes as Julo pressed against the wet floor before using another trash bin as support.

  As he got up, Julo looked at the lifeless body with a bullet in his head.

  "Get fuck, loser" He mumbled.
