1 The Stranger (MAIN STORY) Part 1

Third person P.O.V

The Present (23/02/2019)

"Congratulations to Detective Ashley and her partner Detective Khloe in solving this terrible case that has been going on for months!" Mayor Johnson said

Ashley's P.O.V

Hi. The name's Ashley but call me Ash. I'm a detective of the G.P.D. As you should know my partner Khloe and I are the the most bravest, hardworking, determined detectives in the force. We took on many gruesome and challenging cases each and every day. I remember our first case. I didn't think it would affect us but this particular case changed our life. This is how it went down.

2:30 pm

Ashley's P.O.V

"Hey Khloe!" I shouted. "What's our first case?" I asked with excitement.

"I think you need to sit this out." said Khloe

"Okay then."

I grabbed my chair from my desk and sat down. My excitement slowly faded when I looked up in my partner and friend face. She was worried.

"Okay Khlo, shoot."

"Well, the guy's name is Maxwell Jenson aka Max Jen, 26 years of age, 6ft 2in, Arrested for bombing Chitown and surrounding areas, released in 2016 because of a plea bargain."

"Damn."

"Exactly. But that's not all read this."

"At 5:00 pm on August 18, Miss Nadine Starson reported that Maxwell Jenson was stalking and threatening her 15 year old daughter, Marylyn Starson and the parent requested to file a restraining order to the offender."

"This man is deranged and disgusting." Said Khloe

"I agree. Wait, don't we know her daughter?"

"Yeah. She was Shaline Ross best friend."

"You mean the teen that killed herself because of her abusive foster parents."

"Yup. I felt guilty that we couldn't save her, Ash." replied Khloe with a sad look on her face

"Me too. Because of that Marylyn hates us."

"Ain't that the truth. Now back to the present, we had to interogate her and Miss Starson."

"Let's go then."

We both got up and walked out our office.

"Detectives! How's that case going so far?" The deep, gruff voice of the Captain of the Glasdale Police Department, Captain C. Lawnders.

He was 6ft 4 inches, 27 year old caucasian male with amber red hair, a stern face, brown eyed and had a well built body which attracted every female in the force. Well except me of course. I considered him as a brother since we were kids. He, Khloe and I grew in the same neighborhood and went to the same school. Ever since Khloe always had a crush on him.

"We were going to interogate a family that the culprit targeted this year sir." I responded

"Ok. Keep up the good work so we can catch this asshole dead in his tracks."

"Yes Captain." Khloe and I both said

We both walked to the parking lot, got into the cruiser and drove off to the Starson residence.

3:30 pm

At the residence

Once we arrived we went up to the blue and white home and knocked at the door. We were both greeted by Miss Nadine Starson who was in a galaxy theme apron.

She was a middle aged woman with brown hair which was in a ponytail, hazel brown eyed, average height and a wedding ring on her finger.

"Hello detectives. I never think I'll see you two again." Said Miss Starson in a calm voice

"Hello Ma'am. Sorry to bother you but we're here to interrogate your daughter about Maxwell Jenson aka Max Jen."

"I don't think that's a good idea. My daughter is still shaken up because of that wrenched man!" Miss Starson exclaimed

"Ma'am please -"

"NO! My baby has gone through a lot in her life and I don't want her to hurt anymore!"

"What's going on Mom? Why are you yelling?" A voice upstairs asked while making their way down to the door.

The voice belonged to Marylyn Starson. She was like any teenage girl except She had bright pink dyed hair, black gauges in her ears, a black choker and was wearing anime themed clothing.

"Oh. Its them." She said with a sneer look on her face

"They wanted to asked you a few questions about what happened with that poor excuse of a human being."

"Really now. Guess what detectives I'm not in the mood so you excuse me, I have homework to do now."

"Wait Marylyn we -"

"You heard my daughter. Please leave at once detectives." said Miss Starson before slamming the door in our faces.

"Well then. What should we do now Ashley?" Khloe asked

"On Max's file, there is an address. Wanna check it out?"

"That's the only thing we can do for now until they decide to call us and calm down."

"Yeah. Let's go."

We walked back to the police cruiser and drove to Max Jen 'address'.

5;00 pm (Evening)

As we arrived at our destination it was so quiet although the house was old and decrepit and this area of Glasdale was empty and abandoned.

"Why would anyone live here? This house looks like actual shit."

"Beats me. Hurry up Ash, this house is giving me the creeps." said Khloe while running up the old and squeaky stairs.

"Khloe wait- "

BOOM

A big explosion swept Khloe and I away from the house landing me on the ground while Khloe landed on the windshield of the car. This was obviously a set up. He planned this from the start. Oh no.

"KHLOE!"

I used all my strength to get up and ran over to my best friend lying on top of the windshield.

"KHLOE WAKE UP! PLEASE WAKE UP!"

Her blonde hair was matted with blood and was covering her face while her body was limb. I started to shake her up but she isn't waking up.

"Oh god! PLEASE NO!"

My vision was getting blurry as I felt tears rolling from my eyes.

"NO!"

I went to the vehicle and got to the radio.

"Dispatch."

"This is 178, officer down. Requesting backup and emergency help at Valdam Avenue, repeat officer down."

"Hang in there detective. Backup is on the way."

I felt dizzy. I guess the concussion is kicking in. The last thing I saw before blacking out was my best friend still on the windshield.

"Khloe I'm sorry."
