The detective at the desk sighed while reading through the latest news on his desktop. "A lot more deaths, sightings, but no luck on actually finding them..." He mumbled to himself, taking his eyes off the screen and looking back at the report he was writing to his higher-ups, tapping his pen on the table. "More than hundreds of deaths so far, but for some reason everyone just let it go like it's not a big deal..."

"Joe? You there?" A woman said, briefly before walking into the office. She had tangerine hair and green eyes, and She was carrying what seems to be a folder full of files.

Joe nodded, turning to the other. "Did you get the files?"

"Yeah, I did." Cleo replied, walking over to his desk and setting the folder on the table. Joe thanked her, and immediately opened it. "If you don't mind me asking, why are you suddenly so interested about this?"

Joe didn't respond for a minute, seemingly too focused on reading the contents of the folder. "I just don't get why these incidents don't get investigated more, it's a serious issue." He took out one of the files, which had also had what seemed to be a photo of a person attached to it. "The death toll has significantly increased when these so-called 'assassins' appeared, and yet nobody has even bothered to do a thorough investigation."

Cleo just nodded, not really wanting to disturb Joe, who seemed to be busy examining and taking notes. She walked over and took a seat in front of the desk, briefly examining some of the files. "Who's this?" She asked, seeing one of the photos.

"That guy?" Joe turned to which one she was looking at. The man in the picture was wearing a green colored outfit and a brown jacket over it, they also had a scarf concealing most of his face. "That's one of the most popular and high paid hitmens in the city. He goes by the name 'Freeze Eye'."

"So I'm assuming all of the people mentioned in this folder are hitmens?"

"Mhm, yeah. These are all information about their profiles, sightings, what weapons they used, and lists of all their victims." Joe took out another profile file from the folder, placing it where both he and Cleo can see it. "This is another high paying hitmen- or I guess you could say Hitwomen."

The picture on the file showed a woman who seemed young. She had blonde hair, she also wore a pair of goggles and a red scarf, which concealed most of her face. She was also carrying a crossbow, which was probably what gave her her name. Displayed in bold text beside the photo, the name "CROSS SHOT" was written.

"'Cross Shot'... yeah, I've definitely heard that name before." Cleo mumbled, before looking at another file. "Oh, who's this?"

"That's another hitwomen, she goes by the name 'Virror'. She's not that well known." Joe replied, putting the file more in the open so they could read it better. "She's very rarely sighted, and like you see in this photo, it only shows the back side of her hood. She's known as a very tactical person, and her appearance is usually first signified by a mysterious incident happening that causes a loud distraction so she can easily eliminate her targets."

"I see." Cleo muttered a reply, going onto the next file. "How about this guy?"

"Oh, that's 'Swifters'. He's probably the most infamous out of all of them." Joe took out the file containing information about 'Swifters'. According to the photograph, they had grey hair, and wore a black bandana. They also wore a mask that concealed half of their lower face, and had a slash scar on their right eye. "He's actually not only known as a hitmen, but some people also call him a dealer. He's mostly a weapon dealer and is rumored to be the one supplying the other hitmens in the city. He's very popular in the blackmarket."

"Oh, so he's a big figure in the underworld?"

"Mhm. And because of his popularity, unlike the other hitmens, his real name is actually known, but is not shared to the public."

"That's interesting." She then moved and looked at another profile. The person in the photo had a mask covering most of their face, along with a dull red scarf. Their name was written beside the photo.

'Watching Shadow'
