Author Note:
This is my first-ever written novel, and English is my sed nguage, so don’t expect a masterpiece at the start but I will try to get better at writing.
If you have structive criticism, you post a review. I will read it and reply if I , but if you just want to post a 1-star with 'trash novel,' don’t bother your review will be 100% useless.
I have other things to say, but I don’t want to write a 500-word author note, so I’ll stop here.
Hope you enjoy the novel, happy reading!

Approag midnight, the streets were always bustling with beggars and thugs. It is a crime-riddled area after all, and the financially well-off won’t be caught dead downtown. You were never safe ireets with the gangs and the various pickpockets that want nothing more than to empty your pocket or worse.
In the middle of Downtown lies a ‘beautiful’ three-story apartment building with nearly no graffiti. The Crow headquarters, the Crow is the gang that trols Downtown. They deal in drugs, thefts, murders, and a lot of other things, as long as they obtain mohey do anything.
On the 3rd and st floor lies the apartment of the boss of the ikael Angelini. Mikael is an orphan who grew up in dowtown and uands it perfectly well because of this. At 14 years Mikael created the Crow and from there, they have tio grow, to the point they are now, where they are the lord of Downtown.

Laying on a bed in the 3rd-floor apartment is a handsome young man with bck hair, a well-defined body with defined muscle, and a hint of abs that were showing. He is also tall, approximately 6’2 (188 cm).
When Mikael woke up, it ossible to observe his striking green eyes, like 2 beautiful emeralds. The instant he woke up he instinctively took the gun that ced under his pillow like every m. I Have a feeling that today will be special, and probably not in a good way if I take in t my luck,’ he thought with a small smile.
Just after that Miakel went into the bathroom to take his daily shower, after his shower, he put on a white t-shirt, his bck cargo pants, and a stylish-looking bck Jacket. Of course, he didn't fet to attach his Glock 17 at his waist.’ If I fet to take my Glock I could end up itting suicide in the forest with 6 bullets in my back hahah…No, seriously I would be very dumb to trust my people because I know that the sed I am perceived as weak or without defense I am dead and the first to kill me will be my guys before my enemies do it.
Ring Ring Ring
Mike heard his ph. He took it out and saw that it was Jamar’ probably his most loyal man. Jamar khat without me his sister would be oreet selling her body for a little bit of food’.’ It couldn’t be me because I trust nobody and he is essentially putting the life of his sister in my hand '. Thought Ironically Mikael.
“Hello Boss, there is a problem with a cop. She is disturbing my men” spoke an annoyed Jamar.
“They are at it again hmm, who is it this time?
“Don’t know her I know that she is a small cop that doesn’t know how it works here.”
“Jamar, you should have taken care of this alone, but never mind I'll take care of it. You will e with me so that ime you will know what to do. Also, give me the address so I e but it will take at least 30 minutes before I am there” Mikael spoke exasperated.
“Ok we are at the park on 21st North Street” spoke Jamar
Mikael ehe call just after hearing this sentence. After having a fast breakfast, he got out of his apartment and got in his car a Bck 2024 Acura Integra. He started the car and accelerated away quickly.
After 20 minutes of driving, he reached his destination, a small but peaceful park with a lot of vegetation. There Mike saw a tall buffed Afri Ameri man with dreadlocks sitting on a ben the park. Just after Mikael got out of his car he saw the Afri Ameri man e to him.
“Boss Mikael, the cop is nearby just oher side of the street. She is in her poliiform and she isn’t trying to be sneaky at all to catch the guys i of selling. I think she wants to put pressure or something so that the guys ’t trade.” Jamar spoke
“I'll go talk to her, e with me and don’t talk, just listen and learn.” spoke an exasperated Mike
Mikael walks towards the police car with Jamar following him. He sees a young adult polian just outside of her police car leaning on it and looking at Mikael and Jamar. She has mid-length blonde hair and honey-colored eyes. She is wearing a dark blue polian uniform with a ag on her right shoulder with the name of Leia. She is also wearing a nightstick, a teaser, and of course, a Glock attached at her waist.
The beautiful police officer asked intrigued, “Hello, how I help you?”
Mikael looks into the female cop's eyes, gives her a charming smile, and says “Hello, Miss Leia, did you hear of the proverb" curiosity kills the cat? Because I have heard that a cat was inquisitive around”
She frow the disguised threat and responded by saying ”I am doing my job by being curious and iigating criminal activities in Downtown.
“I Know but from what I heard the st cop that was a little too curious had a tragid. From what I heard it was a break-in gone wrong, the burgrs were surprised by the police officer, they killed him and just after escaped from the house”
“If you think that you will scare me you are wrong because I am not pnning to let you tio do your criminal activities unpunished like before” she spoke bravely even when she was a little scared.
“Think about it carefully because who said that the act would touaybe it will touch a random family or even your mother I ’t know”
This threat visibly affected her as she looked horrified by what Mikael was saying.
“How could you be so evil? You have to implicate i people and my loved ones? When you're having a problem with me? Spoke an ed Leia
Mikael was visibly amused by her rea.’ The goody-two shoes like hers are too easy to ter. You only o mehe lives of i people and they will panid don’t know what to do because they will want to stop you but they will also want to not cause the death of i persons.’
“You misuood, I won’t hurt anybody I only am saying a possible sario that could happen”
“Boss, look at the sky what the fuck is that. I think this is a sign that I have taken a little too much drug retly.”Spoke an astonished Jamar.
