The briefing ended in a weird kind of way. The outburst of powerful aura Star released was scary. After arriving at the hall, they began to read their roaster list. Theo was part of a crime investigation squad while Larry was part of a K9 squad. After that, the newbies were shown their desks. It might be a coincedence, but Star's desk just happened to be besides Theo's. The whole morning was quite uneventful since Theo didn't recieve a call from his squad. When it was lunch time, the officers began to hurry out to grab a snack or two at a nearby cafeteria. "Sup buddy?" Larry wrapped his arms around Theo's shoulder. "Boring" Theo sighed. "You'll get used to it. Especially since you are part of the crime investigation unit. Honestly, you should join me in the K9 unit" "No thanks" Theo quickly rejected. Seriously? if he joined the K9 unit, how would he earn cash and feauture points? "Suite yourself" Larry shrugged. They arrived at the resturant but just as Theo wanted to enter,
Detective Warren flipped the document on his office desk, onto the next page. He began scribbling something down with the bic pen. Apart from the sound of the bic and whooshing of the AC, the office was dead silent. At that moment, the door opened up a bit and a head popped out through the crack. It was Chris. "Oh, it's you young man" Detective Warren glanced at his wrist watch. It was ten minutes past lunch time. Just what was this guy doing here? "Can i come in?" Chris enquired. "Sure. Sure" Chris walked in. The police uniform on his body added a certain miniscule change in his aura. He took the seat opposite the desk. Detective Warren smiled. "So?" "I don't want to join that team" Chris laid his complaint. "Oh?" Detective Warren grew curious. "And why is that? You must now that since you were appointed to a team, you must stick to it. If i change you carelessly, my subordinates will start harbouring thoughts that i am impartial"Chris sighed. He knew from the start that
When Chris and Sky got to their desk, the latter brought out the case file, tossing it at the former. "Huh? isn't this too big of a major case for the both of us?" Chris complained. "Unlike you, i'm a veteran" Sky grumbled. The case was actually simple. A chicken resturant was suspected to be illegally smuggling drugs to customers. Their jobs was to gather enough clues to warrant an arrest. "What do you think of the case. I'm giving you the chance to air your views" Sky snorted. "I think we should pose as employees and monitor the business from within. That would be pretty feasible right?" Chris recalled a cliche tactic used in almost every mystery thriller movies. "Idiot. We are police detectives, not private ones" Sky rolled her eyes. Chris wrinkled his brows. Private? police? weren't all detectives the same? "Fine. You are just naturally stupid" Sky sighed, rubbing her temples. "We are going to give that restaurant a swift look". Chicken Villa was a renowned local food j
The next day, Chris jogged straight to the precinct building. The previous night, the system issued him a new daily task. As for the previous one, it no longer gave any rewards.

When he arrived at the precinct building, he recieved a notification-[You have completed Daily Mission: Fitness Program. You have recieved the below rewards]-[+5 feauture points]-[+ $300] Ping! Theo brought out his phone and checked the message on the homescreen. It was a credit alert of $300. Now his total amount of money totaled a whooping sum of ten thousand bucks! Never in his life would he have imagined he'd get such an amount of cash.Wit
"Thank you for showing up detectives. I am sincerely grateful" a male voice laughed as soon as Sky parked their car at the spacious parking lot. They both alighted and saw a middle aged man in butler suits, pushing a man in wheel chair towards them. The man in wheel chair seemed to be in his early thirties. He had a warm smile on his face. "He must be the friendly sort" that was Chris first impression of him. "My name is Fred Bush" the man in wheel chair introduced himself. "You are the adopted son of Liam Bush? plus you were the one who filed the report at the police station?" Sky shook his hands. "Hah. I don't like being.." Fred smiled wierdly. "Introduced like that? sorry" Sky apologized. "Alright. Why don't i show you both around?" Fred volunteered. "We are not tourists. We came here for investigations" Sky was quite blunt in her proffessionalism. "Ohkay. I'd lead you both to the garden then. We'll discuss over a cup of tea"Sky nodded in agreement. "Why couldn't you be
When Chris exited the mall, he saw Sky gaping at him. Her mouth wide open that ten flies could perfectly fit in. "Good show right?" he didn't bother feigning ignorance. The facts were clear as day. He wasn't normal. Like how could a normal human defeat a bunch of super powered freaks. "So you are a Deviant huh? i never thought of that" Sky no longer stared at Chris like he was trash. She raised her hand. A packet of chips flew out of the mall and began floating mid air. "You are a Deviant too? but wait, i don't even know what a deviant is" Chris gwaked. When he recieved the system, he believed himself to be the only one with super powers. At that time, he would stand at the peak of the world. But after seeing Sky, those thoughts vanished. There were others like him. "This isn't the best place to talk" Sky fished out a phone from her pocket. She put a call across to Detective Warren. After a while, she hung up."A squad of patrol officers are on their way. Our job ends now" Sky
Chris got home quite early. He ordered a medium sized box of pizza and downed it with a bottle of Dr. Peppers. Today dealt him a really huge surprise. Not only did he get alot of feature points, he also got two new skills. Pistol Efficiency Analysis The latter was so amazing that Chris was having a hard time believing it worked. According to it's info, he could scan anything and glean out information from them. The context was he could scan anything! Chris wore a ski mask, gloves and a hoodie. Then he left the house. Like a badass vigilantee, he moved stealthily through the streets. Finally, he arrived at his destination. Chicken Villa. However the scene Chris saw left his jaw dropping. Although the door was shut, he could hear the loud electro dance music and multi colored lights from within the building. He brought out his phone and took a picture. Walking over to the door, he knocked twice. The door swung open, revealing a burly bouncer with multiple piercings on his f
When Chris arrived at work the next day, he went straight to Detective Warren's office. The veteran Detective was having an early morning coffee when he walked. "Why didn't you come with your partner? i thought you both were inseparable huh?" Detective Warren crackled. "I came to turn over my investigation on that case involving Chicken Villa" Chris replied. "Apparently, that restaurant also acts as a night club" "Was there any suspicious activities?" Detective Warren dropped the mug of coffee. Chris sensed the gravity of the situation. He couldn't help but reconsider his decision to stop investigating the Chicken Villa case. Was there really something going on in there? Just as Chris made to reply, Detective Warren's phone rang. "A minute please" he apologized before taking the call. "You found a lead to that case?.. no.. Impossible!.. you know what, i'm coming there immediately" Hanging up, Detective Warren grabbed his coat and turned towards the waiting Detective."Sorry
