AFTER I WAS put into the prison, about an hour later, the prison bars opened again.

“You have twenty minutes.”

said the guard and a figure entered the prison. Levine. I stood up instinctively, I gulped and my mind went blank. He didn’t speak at first. I saw the guards leave, leaving me and Levine as the only people for the yard.

I was a prisoner who was prohibited for visitors as a part of the court sentence but he had been specially granted to meet me once and for all for the next six years.

“Or maybe… this will be the last time ever”

I thought back then. I couldn’t blame him even if it was. What right was there?

“Kenneth.”

he said. I finally looked at him, it was strange for me to hear my own name.

“Finally, I got to call you by your name”

his eyes were teary. He had cried, I realized looking at how red his eyes was.

No. No. No. He can’t be like this. He can’t be this kind to me. At least he should hate me. He can’t forgive me this easily. Levine. You can’t love me this much.

“Ken….

    MY LIFE IN the prison for six years was a period of time to collect myself together from the pieces that were scattered during the time of 17 years that I was broken; from the time I lost my parents. Though my memory was lost and though I didn’t know I lost them, still… there was a heavy burden inside me which limited the peace in my mind.For me to realize what that burden was, what I had wanted was a pause in my life; a little time to resurrect myself. Until those years, that I sat in the corner of a dark room with the metal bars in front of me, I did not come to the awareness why it felt so heavy. Finally, when the relief flooded in to my life, how much I wished I had that pause earlier? Maybe then… none of these would have happened.Guilt. It was something that was embarked deep within my conscience and when it got dipped with regret, it had the ability of tearing my soul apart. Killing was not the only thing that bought me guilt and regret. I was a person loved by a lot and still

    "IF I HAD to call something as the turning point of my life, I would be calling that day as it. From the day I was born.... there is not a single thing in my life that didn't change. Everything changed. The way I lived, the occupation I did, the people I loved, the decisions I took, the paths I chose, the identity I carried and even my name; Kenneth York. They changed. People questioned them and I myself questioned them. I'll start from the day where everything started to change. Thinking back from now, it was exactly forty-two years ago and I was just a three-year-old kid. Unlike now, those days, the people of the Jailbirds City lived a non-hectic, relaxing and a care-free life; just managing through the days while helping and caring about each other and... happy; at least most of them.But this City has a Story. A Story which holds Memories. Memories which hold Scars and Scars that say... We Survived. My father and my mother were reputed Intelligence Officers and there were three

    THE SHOCK OF seeing my mom and dad die in front of my own eyes was a bit too much for me. I think I lost my conscious back then. I don't actually know. However, what I know is that there was a time period that day, which I couldn't remember what happened or what I went through.I remember glimpses of someone carrying me and at that time I couldn’t figure out who. He was clutching me in his hands, firm. My little head rested on his chest and he was so warm that I felt secured."Don't worry. You'll be okay. You're safe."I remember him saying faintly. My eyes felt like burning from crying and I felt like spinning that I found it so difficult to keep my eyes open. I saw the background dark and orange through my watery eyes. Dark should be because it was night and orange maybe fire. That's all I remember and the next time I opened my eyes, I was lying on a bed.My mind blank and empty.The first thing that came to my mind while I was drowsing on the bed was smell. The soap smell. I smelle

    THAT DAY, LEVINE and me walked down the prison corridors checking cell by cell. Prison Rounds were always fun. It is not like anyone can escape from Catastrophe prisons because it was most likely impossible and so what we had to do was just walk while chatting. Both of us weren't in charge for the prisons and only about once in a year we went around, that was also if we felt bored or if there was nothing else for us to do.That certain day was exceptional. It was after a mission that only me and Levine handled without letting anyone else know. There were two reasons. First. It was just to capture a single person. Second. Levine and dad didn't want that to go too far and the most interesting fact is that, not until the very moment we imprisoned him, Levine did tell me who that person was."Who is that?"I remember asking from him while walking back after imprisoning that man."A traitor."replied Levine short."Traitor? We have such people?"my eyebrows raised unintentionally while I c

    THOSE WORDS I said to him.I’m ready.Though I said those words, I wasn’t sure of myself whether I am. My heart said I didn’t want to know and part of me wished nothing would change and things will be the same but.... it was so cruel to bear when I knew it was impossible. But what was I supposed to do? I was the person who triggered the way for that change.“There’s something we hid from you all this time. You must have felt that you’re different and that must be why you decided to leave”I was amazed how he exactly recited what was going in my mind from a long time.“Go on Levine.”Curiosity inside me was killing me. My heart raced to know the words he was going to say next.“I don’t know how you will react to this Cod but… please, no matter what words come out from me within the next minutes, I want you to know that you’re my little brother and no one can change that. Ever."I nodded.“Even though I’m not your real brother…. Please… Cod… You’re still my brother.”Levine, he was suff

    IT DIDN’T TAKE me much time to adjust to the normal life. I was a bit aggressive as a kid but the Catastrophe’s training, made me different. I was rational all the time. I dealt well with people around me and I found the normal life very interesting. Relax. That is something that I never felt in my life before. I didn’t even know what relaxation was, until that day I came out of Catastrophe. I loved my life out of the territory so much but also at the same time… I missed the adventure and the excitement I felt when I was there.I missed the fights we had, the trainings I went through each and every day, the nights I spent guarding and defending the territory with Levine and yes… I missed the nights of little talks I had with my dad and my big brother. Then again… being a genius in adapting to the environment from the very beginning, I adapted to that life as well and adjusted to it and started loving it like nothing.That life was normal and was not strange to me when it should have b

    NEXT DAY I was taken to an interrogation room with my hands cuffed. I was no different than a pulp after getting beaten up the whole night before. It took me a few minutes to look around the room after I was made to sit. My brain concentrated only on the pain cringing through my body and I felt like I was torn apart. That was the usual way of punishing someone with the crime of killing. I knew it but it still sucked! My mouth tasted blood and face felt like it was burning. Legs were nearly numb and I felt as if my whole rib cage is falling apart.Still. I was okay.The pain surely made me suffer a lot but I could withstand it.Then, I looked around. The room was dark and lights were on and that was surely not a normal interrogation room. It was far duller.I automatically inclined my head. I do it when I’m puzzled about something. It happens instinctively.“Don’t worry. This is just an interrogation room.” said the boy who was standing in front of me to my right. Then I realized he wa

    THAT DAY, AFTER the Interrogation, they uncuffed me and put me in a normal prison cell with other prisoners. Then, the following day, they released me. I did not have proof to prove myself innocent about the charge they were having against me as the KCO killer but they did not have enough proof to hold me up either. I never saw Fyn or Frost when I was released and I was wondering why they were releasing me in the first place. When they uncuffed me the previous day, I knew I had convinced them that I’m not the KCO Killer. But still, I was a killer. They should have at least punished me for that and being a teenager who was actually not good at holding back my curiosity, “Why am I being released?” I asked the Police Officer who was documenting my release papers. He gave me a “actually what the heck” look and said, “You are out of charges.” “What do you mean I’m out of charges? I killed one of yours.” I asked back again to which the policeman took a deep breath. “I’m sorry but I c

    “ALLISON. SHE SHOULD probably have hated me and still do not know why she didn’t back then. It was a huge betrayal and if I was in her place, I guess I won’t be that merciful. Back then, at the Interrogation Room I wonder who she saw me as? I guess in her eyes, I was a monster... which was obviously right. Up until now, even if twenty-five years had passed, I never had the courage to reach and ask her anything about that past. We never spoke about it. None of us. It was just like, that we have put a rule to ourselves to keep ourselves shut from that experience.When I first agreed with Link to kill, what was in my mind was to bring justice to my parents. But true, whatever my reasons were, I had no right to kill, I had no right to take the law to my hands but… they said my mom and dad was murdered by the law for no reason so, I saw no justice in that law. I had no memory so I didn’t know that they were lying and I didn’t know what I did was all wrong but true, I had conscious and it w

    IT WAS SO clear how everyone of us wanted the same thing. We wanted him to prove that we were wrong, we wanted him to say he was not the killer, we were ready to go through a hell and do an investigation from the beginning if there was at least one single proof saying that he was not the Killer.“No matter whatever the reason, how could you do that to us?”That was the first time I saw Dylan’s voice breaking so hard and I’m quite sure that was the first and the last time in Ken’s life he felt helpless. Ken may have been at a memory loss but he still knew how much we cared for him and trusted him. That day, the Intelligence Interrogation Room had its first official interrogation which made the Intelligence and the criminal party both felt like they were fallen on their knees and… for no doubt that was the last such.Ken didn’t say a single word but his eyes said it all... and I’m so sure the reason behind his silence was that he knew no matter what he said there was nothing he could ch

    KENNETH WAS A killer of 31 humans. One of the best Killers in the history which the Intelligence handled. A perfectionist. A person who got caught by Intelligence only because he wanted himself caught. I don’t think the Intelligence would ever be able to figure out who that killer was if he didn’t reveal it to us that day. He was the best killer and the only killer who didn’t get beaten up in the Intelligence. When he was bought to the Interrogation Room, not a single scratch was on his body and even the scratches from the Link territory fight were healed. None of our people had the strength of raising our hands against him because Kenneth… he was one of us.Out of all, my brother Dylan was in the most pain because I’m quite sure not even for a second, not for a second! he thought that the killer was Kenneth and he loved him so much from deep inside.But when we looked at the big picture, we did realize a lot of things. We realized why the killer was a perfection. Of course, he should

    PATRICK WAS TAKEN aback and his false calm and kind face turned dark. He stared at me with glaring eyes. So, did I.Then his voice cut the dusty air, calm and sarcastic“Then I don’t think I should be telling you how stupid you are.”I felt my anger rising.“It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s all over now.”I whisper to myself.30 seconds away. I calculate.“Now! Shut your mouth and work for me asshole! And if not! I won’t think a second to push a bullet through your head!”Deep inside, it did a kind of hurt because I trusted him. Now there’s his real self. I thought and I smirked. 17 seconds more.“You know what? All this time you thought this was your game. But trust me when I say this… You are wrong. I’m the Protagonist here. Now, as much as you used me as a cardboard token of your game, I’m going to use you to achieve the target of my final conclusion. This has always been my game. It’s not Killer Cross Over, it’s Game Over.”I said“What the hell are you talking?”“Too late, mister. They

    AFTER THAT DAY, I never went back to the Intelligence, dying young wasn’t one of my life goals. But to be honest… I regretted living back then and I actually didn’t care if I died and a part of me said that I deserved to die by the hands of the people I betrayed; my friends, my more-like family. But still again, I had things to solve before I could make such a decision.What had been done is done and me repenting, regretting on that past is useless. What I had done cannot be reversed and I myself will have to live with those painful crimes I’ve committed either I choose to or not. But I have a way to change the future. There is no way I’m going to miss it and I will bring proper justice now.I kept repeating this in my mind.The address I told Allison was the entrance to our organization which was the same address Levine told me that day before I left Catastrophe with Intelligence. When Levine told me that, I already knew it, because I was the killer and I was surprised that he knew i

    IT WAS A mess and I was the mess. I was so angry and frustrated about myself and I wanted to kill all the members of Link.That night, I read the letter given to me by my dad; Catastrophe dad. I soon realized why Levine asked me if I regained memory because there in that letter was… the true memory of mine. Inside those memories were the truth. Levine didn’t know I was the killer but still he knew that the answers laid inside me. There was the name of the Organization as “Link” and then there was this thing.To my little son,“Link”. This Organization killed your parents, my dear son. I think it’s time for you to know these things. Levine may have told you how to find the territory.Also, my son… Don’t cut off my strings I have with you when I say this. I’m not your father but I love you equally much.I paused. That was when it came to mind that until the day he died; he didn’t know that Levine revealed the truth to me. Pain.I didn’t even know where all it was coming from. But that w

    This nature of mine first sharply appeared inside the basement of my cottage when I had to decide between holding a gun or not. By that day, even though Levine told me not to hold a gun I had already held it like hundreds of times as the KCO Killer but when Dylan told me to take the gun, I hesitated and rejected putting my life on risk thinking of the promise I made to Levine. It was me, my own self that was on action as the Killer, then again… it was me, my own self feeling weak about holding a gun due the promise in front of them. That weaknesses and promises never came to my mind when I was working as a Killer and to me it felt like…. I had two people trapped inside one body. Then again, there are somethings I possessed as a Killer and an Intelligence officer both reminding myself that I was the same person. My confidence and perfection. I never lost that whoever I was. In the explanation of this story… there are two things that I equally possessed. First one. I acted my part as
