This story is taking place in a universe which is laid out in the future. Technology is a daily life and makes lots of things possible. There are no flying cars though but upper train stations for example, which are going high about the ground. Other small things are also possible, like holograms and food machines, producing meals on their own.

Of course there are much more, robot pets, house dors with finger prints system, machines that will help you to dress and everything is listening to your voice so you even don't have to push buttons anywhere. In this universe even the poorest have some technological stuff at home, most of them self made but still functional.

But in this times the streets of the big citys are full of crime and you only can live in peace if you are a member of a gang. If the gang is well known and wealthy you will never have to work for anything anymore, except for your dutys within the group. If the gang is a low level one the only thing you can expect is their protection, which sometimes is more than you can ask for.

The city with the beautiful name Cristal hearts is the place where this story begins. It's a city like New York where it's said that your dreams will come true. That's why a lot of people want to live there to claim their luck. But there are lots of broken dreams lying in the slums of the city and the people living there can sing a song about how pitiful their hopes were and that reality is a cruel friend. Most of them even don't have enough money to go back and are living from one day to another knowing that tomorrow they could be dead, either because of starvation or through the hand of a gang member.

The most famous gang in the city is the black rose. You can easily notify them because of the tattoo they're wearing on their shoulders near the neck. Or because of the necklace. They are really skilled and powerful and almost every other gang would think at least twice before considering to cross their way. There are only a view smaller business who aren't paying them for protection or being blackmailed, but every bigger one already does. It's an honor to be recruited by them, because they are taking only the best and most loyal ones in. Or if they see a use in someone. They recruit by chance so you have to be lucky to be noticed.

Their leader is the most feared man in town. He is everything, beautiful, graceful with high manners, a mesmerizing smile and a skilled way of talking to lull everyone into his wished position.
Aden Rose is the name who let everyone shudder in fear or respect and even hatred. He is only 25 and already gave his name a meaning.
But that's not only because he is always wearing a smile on his face. No one wants to see him getting actually mad and when his smile dissappear hell is going to freeze cause of the sharp cold in his eyes. He is extremely dangerous, faster than anyone and has perfect fighting skills.
He is never seen alone because of his right hand following him around.

****************************************************************************************

The right hand of Aden is Jack. He is called the boss's dog behind his back, because he is always beside him like a sticky shadow. You just can't meet them apart from each other on a regular basis. Where Aden is there's Jack too except if the leader told him otherwise. Jack is just half of a year younger than Aden and a cool, emotionless guy. He is the dirty worker of the gang, assassinations, kidnapping, cleaning the corpses...
Jack isn't a man of big words and keeps his silence, especially in front of strangers. Still it's quite interesting to have a conversation with him once you get past his quiet nature.

With the age of 43 he is definitely the oldest member and also the only one who actually managed to get his high class standards without a gang.
