Where is my mind.

As the grip of the bulky man loosened and my feet found the ground, the terrifying realization of my vulnerability in the hands of these gang members became overwhelming.

It was Detective Alden Pierce, his movements was swift but noticeably hampered by an injury. His gray hair and long coat made him a blured figure against the backdrop of the alley.

The first attacker, the one with the scar, lunged at Pierce with a wild swing of his bat.
