Chapter three
Jillian zipped through traffic in her little mini cooper to try to get to the police station as quickly as possible, she even found herself driving a little above the speed limit, nothing that could really get her into trouble but her own recklessness surprised her. Jillian knew herself very well, she was the most straight laced person on earth. In fact she was such a 'by the book' person that she didn't really have any friends. She didn't drink, she didn't smoke, she has never been arrested, she has never been late for work or missed an appointment, she didn't go to the cinema because she would rather curl up at home with a good book and she doesn't like to go out of her house unless she has to. Her colleagues at work call her robot Jill and wet blanket Jill behind her back when they think she isn't listening but she didn't mind. She knew who she was and she was happy with who she saw in the mirror, that was why she felt that it was bizarre that she had suddenly become more adventurous and the moment she noticed her momentary slip, she immediately reduced her speed to the legal speed limit and drove carefully until she reached the police station.
Jillian parked her little car, adjusting it repeatedly until it was perfectly positioned between the lines in the police station parking lot in a textbook perfect way. She got out, locked her door and headed towards the door.
When Jillian went inside the police station, she was met by a familiar sight of a security checkpoint. Andromeda city was an extremely violent city and had the highest rate of gun violence in America so all government buildings and even some privately owned ones have these security checkpoints set up at their entrances. The security checkpoints consisted of a metal detector and a couple of armed guards with metal detector wands. Jillian didn't wear any jewelry so she just put her keys in the tray that was used to put personal items that contain metal and walked through the metal detector without a problem. The guards looked at her with strange expressions when she passed through but they waved her inside without saying anything.

Once inside, Jillian clipped the ID that identified her as an official Prosecutor of the city and headed towards the interior of the building.
Because her job involved working with the police so much, she was very familiar with the police station. Andromeda city had a large well funded police force that was housed in a rather large ten story building with five wings that radiated from the central building like the five petals of a flower when seen from above. Each of these 'petals' were big enough to be separate buildings, they even had their own separate helipads complete with a helicopter resting on top.
The building layout was a little confusing but since Jillian knew the way, she walked through the hallways without hesitation but as she continued to go deeper into the building, she was surprised to see that there were very few police officers in the building, much fewer than the amount of officers that she usually saw when she came to the station because of her job. The whole place was almost completely deserted and the officers she did see were rushing about like their asses were on fire, not even taking a second to glance towards Jillian.
She was wondering if it had anything to do with the war that old man Jeff had told her about when she reached the entrance to one of the wings of the building, the 'petal' of the flower that was entirely dedicated to homicide.
Jillian had just made it through the door, still deep in thought about the war between the Macalister family and the Manelli family, when she ran into an equally absent minded man and fell down on her ass.
The man she had run into was rather large, his well defined muscular body clearly visible through the white shirt he was wearing. He had a close cut military style haircut, handsome features and usually had a friendly smile on his face but it was absent today. Instead he looked exhausted and had a haggard expression on his face. He had dark semi-circles beneath his eyes, dark enough that they were clearly visible even though he had dark brown skin. His brown eyes, which usually shone with vitality, looked dull like the eyes of a doll but after the little accident, the man looked up from the file he was reading and his haggard look vanished as he noticed Jillian on the floor. He immediately knelt beside her with a look of deep concern plastered on his face.

"Jillian, is that you? What the hell happened to you ? Jesus, if I had known you were in such a bad shape, I wouldn't have asked you to come."
The man Jillian had ran into coincidentally turned out to be the man she was looking for, Detective Edward Briggs.

I am letting you go... to meet all the people you’ve killed,” Ophelia’s smile turns psychotic as her cheeks begin to blush underneath the bloodstains, “Can you hear their screams...? Because I can...

8 117Copy, Paste: The Misadventures of Milo Two
Milo, 30, has everything going for him—with the exception of a paying job, girlfriend, or anything resembling an active social life. None of that is about to change, but he will be transported—copied?—to another dimension where the rules are pretty different, so that’s…something. Join Milo as he bids farewell to his sister’s spare bedroom and says hello to the magical world of Altabar, where he’ll encounter scary monsters with lame names, meet new friends, and learn where not to pee.
8 132The apocalypse happened and it was named- The system’s advent
The world either ended or it began when the system came online. People can now be immortal and the laws of reality are intertwined with what the people of earth know as RPG game systems. All of this and yet it is only the begining. What is in store for humanity when everything they thought was just smoke and mirrors turns out to be as real as they are and far more deadly. One man went back in time because of an event that shouldn't be possible to a place he had forgotten. For him it was a chance at redemption for a life he is ashamed of. It was a chance to make things right with the people he couldn't face before it was too late to say sorry. A changed man will attempt to defy logic that he doesn't even realize exists. He tried to be the dashing rogue and failed, he tried for the overbearing shield bearer and was worse than useless, he tried to be the rightous paladin and not even the dark gods would accept him. The only path left was the 'weakest' of them all. Ok so alot of you probably reading this are people who have read my previous works and I can only say 'thank you for your incredible patience' so much before it gets awkward but for those you who don't know this is my third story and no I haven't dropped the other two it's just that tragedy struck when I was writing them and I haven't been able to get my motivation for them back yet so I'm trying this as essentially a jump start to get back into the fight so to speak. I'm really hopefull that I can pull this story off the way I want it to be but only time will tell so here's to hoping, now let's get this show started.
