Morning light had just begun to pour into the streets of Strongzinburg city as the rain came to a stop. Police were putting the final touches on blocking off the dingy alley with yellow caution tape when the detective unit arrived. Aiko, a fairly new detective, stepped out of the passenger seat from a dark tinted car. She was wearing dark dress shoes and a light black jacket over her white button up and black tie. It was the standard uniform for the detectives. Classy and clean. Her curls of long dark hair bounced as she walked into the crime scene.
Emi, the leader of the detectives, sprang up out of the driver’s seat. She had a badge that said “Captain” hanging around her neck. Her bright pink hair was a contrast to her detective uniform that matched Aiko’s.
The two detectives flashed their badges to the officer guarding the scene before ducking under the yellow tape and starting to look around." Apparently there were three calls last night reporting either a gunshot or a firework. Either way there doesn’t appear to be evidence of either one,” said Aiko.
“As we expected. Did the report mention a description of anyone involved?” asked Emi.

“Nope.”
They both walked slowly, scanning the ground with their eyes until they came to a bright chalk circle the police had drawn around the casing of a flash bang grenade.
“Yep, looks like it was him again,” said Aiko. “There’s been an increase in his activities lately.”
“You’re right. And look there on the ground,” said Emi pointing to a patch of asphalt where some dirt was obviously scuffed around. “Looks like there was a struggle, but there’s no body. No immediate signs of blood either. Suppose most of it could have washed away with all the rain last night though. All I know is that this person should consider themselves lucky that they didn't end up dead.”
Aiko bent down and with a pair of gloves on, put the flash bang casing into a ziploc bag. “We’ll take it in for prints, but it’s likely to come up negative like all the ones before it. From a glance around, there doesn’t seem to be any other evidence.”
“It’s hard to do much for this case with so little evidence to go off of,” said Emi. “ There’s no doubt that this was the work of the Flash Bang, but what is he after? Why does he keep coming after people? He’s got to be looking for something or someone.”
“The sooner we figure that out, the sooner we can catch him and put this case behind us.”
