Detective Mark Calloway had seen his fair share of crime scenes, but this one was different. The small apartment was spotless—too spotless. No fingerprints, no signs of struggle, and no murder weapon. Just a body, perfectly positioned on the pristine white couch, hands folded as if in prayer.

Crunch . Content Warning.
I love the sound of a good crunch. I love gravel crunching under tires; It reminds me of the way autumn leaves crunch. It reminds me of the way snow crunches as my foot compacts snow into tighter layers. The sound of something giving way under the pressure of something heavier, stronger.

London Undercover
Long before Detective Wayne Bateman became a private eye, he was an undercover police man within the city of London. He infiltrated some of the biggest gangs to haunt the land, putting an end to their mischief with plenty of evidence to lock the bad guys up for good! There is one truly thrilling tale to tell however, one that gave him the ambition to leave this role behind and go out in his own. In this story; Wayne saw the darkest recesses of the criminal underground, the scum and villainy that cursed (and unfortunately still does) London was incredibly evil, degenerate, cruel and ultimately disgusting to behold. It polluted his mind with newfound horror, disturbing him with the harsh reality that people could actually be this despicable beyond his wildest nightmares. It was the gang known as The Vipers that Wayne was assigned to investigate. The gangsters wore dark green tracksuits with white stripes, this was their identity so that everyone involved knew they were part of the same crime family. There were hundreds of these men and women, all of whom were rough as a dog's ass and were most definitely involved in the drug trade that was spreading through the city like a deadly virus. This was in 2014, when dubstep music was all the rage and nightclubs were sharing the likes of Speed, Molly and Cocaine under the counter. However, as you are about to discover, there was something far more sinister going on behind the curtains. To join the gang was simple, if you could successfully commit a mugging and return the money to the gang leader, this seemed to prove you were loyal to the The Vipers and certainly weren't a cop. Before that, Wayne had to intricate into the gang's society first, learning how to speak in a much rougher accent than his own, that being Cockney and behaving like the locals who dwelled within the council estate near Camden. He first met a young lad who was a part of the gang known as Carl, a mouthy teenager who got into a fight within one of the pubs. It was clear who Carl was due to his gang colours, tracksuit and the things he was saying about getting the whole gang down here to defend him against this absolute beast of a man who was almost forty. Carl didn't stand a chance against this juggernaut, so Wayne stepped in and knocked out the beast within an instant. Everyone in the pub gasped, as the giant fell onto the hardwood floor.

Shades for Vengeance
Part One: A City of Rain and Lies Rainfield City, a metropolitan expanse where the sun was more of a faraway fantasy than a reality, dwelt in permanent gloom. The skyline, jagged and filthy, threw black shadows over tiny streets and dilapidated buildings. The affluent lived in the sky, in glass skyscrapers, while the poor battled on the rainy, dirty streets below, where hope was as uncommon as bright skies.
