January 25,
A year later
The darkness spelt impending doom. A gloom so palatable it fell like a thick blanket upon the streets.
There were noises and creaks at the corner of the street behind an unused warehouse, perhaps rats?
It was more of a shuffling sound. Feet. Men.
“Is everything going according to plan?” A voice tore through the darkness. Not just the regular or run-of-the-mill kind of voice, this was one which commanded authority, sucking whatever remaining life out of the already gloomy darkness.
“Y-yes sir, the trail has gone cold. The police have other pending issues to deal with now than to focus on one dead cop.” A timid, less calculating voice replied.
“And all evidence?”
“Annihilated, Sir. The police have hit a dead end for almost a year now, Sir.”
“Fair. You're no longer useful to me.”
“Wha–?!”
There were suddenly more shuffling noises as more men came out of the dark then a thud that sounded like a body hitting the ground.
Then came silence. Deafening silence.
