October 17th, 1995

"Hey Darick," said Agent Mackenzie, "I was digging through your father's reports, and well. Once a month he met with an accountant. I looked into the accountant and well I don't like him. But I wonder what your dad went to go see him about? I know the accountant has a rap sheet, It's mostly insurance fraud and money crimes. But that jerk well he's a jerk,"

Sonata replied, "Can I come with you to fight some bad guys?"

"No you can't," said Darick, "Remember those cartoons we'd watched as kids but you still watch on Saturday mornings? Well, these bad guys aren't like those bad guys. The bad guys me, Mackenzie, Asyling, and the rest of the EPD and E.O.D go after. They don't care if you're a teenager or a child. They will kill you if they get that chance and they won't care,"

Sonata replied, "Okay fine. I'll go to school."

Sonata got done eating breakfast and started to head out after brushing her teeth and getting her stuff but she stopped at the door.

"Are you two going to get married and have kids?" asked Sonata

Both Darick and Mackenzie Smith quickly shot down Sonata and told her that they just like each other as friends over lovers. But Sonata didn't buy it one bit and she thinks one day they're going to get married, and have a bunch of babies.

It started to rain so Mackenzie Smith gave Sonata Ryan a ride to school in her new white and blue 1969 Wasp Panther (1969 Chevy Camaro) which has a police rotary light on the dashboard.

"Can I turn on the siren to clear traffic?" asked Sonata

Mackenzie replied, "No lights and sirens are used for emergencies! If you were having a heart attack or seizure I would use it and take you to the hospital. Taking you to school isn't an emergency,"

"Oh okay then," said Sonata, "Are you and my brother going to get married and have kids?"

Mackenzie replied, "No! No! No! No, we are not,"

A few minutes passed.

"Where do babies come from?" asked Sonata

Mackenzie replied, "When you're older. You'll find out,"

Mackenzie dropped Sonata off at school, returned to Darick's apartment, got him, took him to the ninth percint, and gave him a small kiss on the mouth but left a small dossier on his lap.

***

In the police station.

Darick got dressed and went to his desk and started to read the dossier.

"CITY OF EMPIRE DEPARTMENT OF LAW," says the vanilla folder on the front

Darick opened it with two pieces of paper in it.

Darick flipped the piece of paper and the second one is the list of crimes Mr. Luca committed

I better go pay this guy a visit, Darick thought, But not in uniform.

Darick was about to get up but the phone on his desk rang. Darick answered the phone.

"Get in here now," Capt. Asying said

Darick hung up and went to Captain Asyling Ryan's office.

***

In Capt. Asyling's office.

Darick knocked and entered.

"I saw you were reading the dossier on Mr. Luca," said Capt. Asyling, "Go and find him and bring him in. But he's an arrogant prick and all that. Also, have your... Girlfriend help you,"

Darick replied, "I don't have a girlfriend!"

"Yeah yeah keep telling yourself that," said Capt. Asyling, "But your second ex-girlfriend can't help because she's in the traffic department. Well hope she didn't make a pact-like some of the girls I was friends with in high school,"

Darick replied, "What kind of pact?"

Captain Asyling Ryan explained that her friends made a pact and made light of teenage pregnancies but Asyling didn't take part of it because to her she's too young to be a mom so far and hasn't planned on having kids yet.

Captain Asyling wanted to say about the epidemic of teenage pregnancies in the city but she rather keep her mouth shut because she doesn't care about others who want to throw their lives away while they're still in school.

Darick then left and went and placed his normal street clothes on and left to go and walked to 777 Flurry and Cadance Street Ave in Midtown.

***

At 777 Flurry and Cadance Street Ave

Darick walked into the office building and he was just another person who didn't stand out. But he just took the elevator up to the floor below the penthouse. Darick also had a suppressed pistol on him.

Darick walked out and opened a door and told the secretary to take her break early because she doesn't want to be around it. The secretary then left the building.

Darick then pulled out his suppressed gun.

Blessed be the Lord my strength which teaches my hand to war and to fight this war, Darick thought, Going to send all these sinners to where they belong! Damn it, mom! Always had to read the Holy Bible every night and recite it all the time!

Darick just used his pistol and did nonlethal takedowns on the people there but some filing cabinets opened and he looked at the files well a few of them and they were heavy numbers. Turns out the accountant-client wants to build a luxury apartment building.

Darick continued but he had to shoot with his suppressed pistol he made sure it was fatal but to him, he doesn't want to kill anyone unless he had to, in this case, he had to but didn't want to. But it'll be "bad cop points" to him.

Darick then got to the second floor of the penthouse workplace and came to a set of double doors. He couldn't open them until he had to kick'em in with ease.

He walked down to the office and a man popped up with an Anti-tank launcher and fired it at Darick but he missed but the explosion knocked Darick down.

Darick quickly got up but the guy fired at him with an Uzi with a 50-round magazine but when he had to reload Darick had the opportunity to fire back but he used his off-duty pistol instead and hurt the accountant.

Darick then walked up with his gun drawn. The accountant tried to reload but he was bleeding out.

"Do you think you can avenge your father's death?" said the bleeding-out accountant, "Nope but killing me? You'd just signed your own death warrant! Before the end of the day, you'll be dead! But I'll be replaced tomorrow and no one will ever know!"

Darick replied, "That's where you're wrong!"

Darick picked the guy up and threw him out of the window but took his jacket so his fingerprints won't be on it. But he also found a ledger and a suitcase full of money. But he started to walk out but heard some voices and one loud person saying that whoever he is he isn't going to escape with ease.

Darick used his off-duty pistol and fired at them but moved cover from cover. Darick had no problems killing them because they were shooting at him with the intent to kill.

Darick was able to kill them but he took the elevator down but in the lobby had the Empire Police Department and Island Patrol officers clearing out lobby and one of the fourteen Special Weapons And Emergency Service Unit deploying not adding a police mobile command post arriving.

Darick was able to sneak out by going down a stairwell into the underground parking garage and walked out and no one ever looked nor cared because he vanished like a ghost. But some others even some cops thought he was just an employee leaving work.

***

At the Ninth precinct.

Darick gave Capt. Asyling the ledger and suitcase and she wants to send a few uniformed units to go pick up a Mr. Philip "Phil" Eric. But she rather has Darick go and get him and he went to the new apartment building that's being built.

***

At the construction site. The luxury condo apartment building was halfway done but Darick walked in like nothing.

He walked into a luxurious office and saw a person in a tailored suit putting some money away.

"Nice office you got here," said Darick, "But all this counterfeit money will land you back in prison again!"

"Like the fuck I'm going to go back," said the guy

Darick blocked his way out but the guy jumped out of the window into the main lobby and he tried to run but had a walkie-talkie and called someone to have some guys to come down to kill Darick.

Darick found some hard evidence that the luxury condo apartments are just a scam that when they get done being built they're just going to get insurance on them and burn'em down. And Darick's friend Linda and her family minus Linda's mother are firefighters in the city and he doesn't want to see them get hurt or killed by some greedy corporate jackass.

When the elevator opened Darick drew his off-duty weapon and fired the pistol but he had cover while the attackers didn't. Darick was able to kill them but he picked up a Mil&Pol Combat Shotgun (SPAS-12) which has a folded stock and its semi-auto.

Darick took the stairs up and he shot at the bad guys who were just armed with .32 (Colt Police Positive) revolvers and .38 revolvers (S&W M10). Darick had a shotgun and semi-automatic pistol.

Darick made it to the roof which felt like an eternity but it was only forty-four minutes.

The guy that Darick was after was now in a crane and tried to knock him off the building but Darick just either jumped over or lied down when the steel beam could come that the guy had in the crane's hook.

Darick just kept shooting the shotgun until he was out of ammo for it and he switched to his off-duty police weapon and fired until he was out of ammo for it. The crane came down and the guy got out and Darick walked over to him and arrested him.

***

Back at the Ninth Precinct.

Darick had the guy processed and put in a cell and he did fill out the paperwork and he was able to get two other criminals who had his father killed one dead and another behind bars. He also had the evidence locked up in the precinct's evidence lockup as well.

After work, Darick walked home but a few males in dark clothing and ski masks came out of nowhere and beaten up badly. He still went up to his apartment and sat down.

Mackenzie made him, Sonata, and herself pork chops and mashed potato dinner but they both told him to go to the hospital which he did after eating dinner.

***

At the hospital, Darick was told that of the beating he got he got a few broken ribs, and a black eye besides that he was fine.

His cousin Asyling and his girlfriend Mackenzie Smith were there and they both want to help but he couldn't get to tell them anything because there was nothing recognizable because they wore dark clothing.

That didn't help but Mackenzie and Asyling got cop written all over them and they're going to do everything they can and they're cops 24/7 even while off-duty.
