*Knock*, *Knock*, *knock* The repetitive sound of knuckles on woods vibrates through the door “Hello anybody home” an officer stands proudly on the other side of the door, He stares at the sign with the number 9 engraved on the metal plate. “Yes! Just a second” a voice replayed through the door, the door slowly swayed open with the man's head peeking from behind to see the police officer standing before him. “Oh… Hello Officer” the man said with a slight shake in his voice, “Hey there I’m Mike, Is it okay if i ask you a few questions?” He spoke calmly and maintained almost perfect posture “I’m kage, and yeah that's no problem” Mike quickly flips through a notepad, scanning through its contents, he jots down a description of kage, young, tall, long brown hair. Kage looks over Mikes body observing his blue uniform as well as the three scarves tied around his arm, his concentration is broken by mike saying “Okay so do you know about the disappearance of a girl recently”, Kage places his hand around his chin searching his mind for a possible answers, “Could you give me a little more to go off of?”, “Well recently a girl who was in the same coffee shop as you has gone missing” Kage looks a little shocked at the idea something happened so close to him, “Do you see anyone shady or anyone with her when she left” Mike twirls his pencil in his hand waiting for a response, “No i don’t recall anybody like that their, Sorry i don’t remember much from when i was there” Mike goes to say something that hesitates followed by a sigh “well that's alright call the station if you remember anything and have a good day” he steps away from the door moving a little further down the hall. Kage Closes the door and stands facing opposite his doorway, He falls to the ground in a shaking mess “How” me muttered “h-How did they get this close” his hands bunching his hair as he writhed angrily on the apartment floor. Mike was outside in the hallway on the reading to another cop who was positioned in the car outside “Yeah i questioned that guy about that girl who went missing”, mike paces in a line along the hallway “we might push him about it further at a later date but let's just question our other leads first” the crunched voice on the radio replies “Righto i'll see you back at the car”, Mike lowers his radio and places it back in his pocket, he lights a cigarette and begins to walk towards the end of the hall. Kage lightly swings open the door and treds quietly towards mike, a smirk forms across his face, “They suspect me, I know they do, They Knows it was me” Kages clouded thoughts flooded his mind, kage revealed his knife from his pocket, eventually he was walking right behind mike. Kage grips his knife tightly, grits his teeth and slashes horizontally across the back of Mike's neck, Mike chokes and stumbles forwards with blood running down his back. A scarf burns on Mike's arm disappearing into embers, The scar on his neck turned into a freshly healed wound, Mike stands back up from his stumble and turns around with a gun pointing directly at kage. “I knew you did it, i just wanted to arrest you but they wouldn’t let me because there wasn’t enough evidence, but i knew it was you”, kage steps back in shock at what he just saw “WHAT! I slashed your neck, what happened?” Kage trembles with shaky eyes he yells “How did that wound heal you asshole” he lunges at Mike his knife firmly held in his hand. “Well you’re an idiot” Mike pulls the trigger on his gun, the bullet grazing past Kage's hand and nailing him directly in the chest and cracking his sternum and some ribs. Kage collapses to the ground, his knife falling out of his hand and onto the ground, kage lands slumped over on the floor, with that sharp motion one of his cracked ribs manages to stab a lung, He yells out in pain, with pained breaths Kage attempts to get out a light chuckle but releases a sound of wheeze followed by choking on the newly formed pools of blood in his lungs, He looks up at mike then back down to the hole in his chest. “HOW”, “How, “did he do that” Kage thought to himself, he then fell onto his back, with agonising jolts of pain flowing through his body. Mike was on the radio explaining what happened to the other officer in the car “Holy shit mike!” the officer shouted in response to Mike recounting “Look it wasn’t my fault i was trying to shoot his hand to try and disarm him”, “We are fucked” sighed the other cop. Kage's nervous system began to shut down, still laying on the ground he looked up at Mike, gripping onto the last bit of life he had, his eyes had lost all signs of life, and his vision faded to black.
