《Jane's hidden past ✔️》5

Jane pov...
The DNA found at the scene from the apprentice had no matches in the system. Korsak, Frost, Maura, Riley and I all head back to the scene to see if we can find anything different. Riley is coming with us as we know that she could be targeted and it would be safer to keep her with us. Ma, Tommy and Frankie are at the prescient in the cafe as Ma is still working and we wanted them to be under police protection but they don't want to be at home.
We look all around the house for anything we might have missed or overlooked in the first search. Riley stays with me while we look around. I find a receipt hidden under the couch from a local Starbucks purchased with an eftpos card for the date of the murder but there was no trace of the purchase when we checked bank records. We finish searching the rest of the house and find nothing else that seems relevant to the case. Korsak and Frost head to the Starbucks to look at the security cameras to see who made the purchase.
Maura, Riley and I head back to the prescient and head to my desk while waiting for Korsak and Frost. Riley and Maura share stories of me that they have, I sit there and listen to what they share and think about how I never thought that I would see Riley again and now the people I care about have met her and will want to know more about her. Korsak and Frost come back with the security video before the stories are too embarrassing, as soon as they are back the stories are over and it is back to focusing on work.
We watch the video and it is confirmed that Hoyt was there buying coffee with a man who looks early thirties, Frost runs his face through facial recognition which gives us a hit. The man matches a Kane Myers. He has records for assault and breaking and entering but all charges were dropped. Currently works at a locksmith shop and lives a few blocks away from the shop. Frost and Frankie will go to his work, Korsak and I will go to his home and Riley will stay in Maura's office while Maura works in the morgue.

Korsak and I arrive at Myers apartment, the door is partly open so we go in. Korsak and I split up to check the apartment. I go in the bedroom and check that it is clear and move to the ensuite which is empty, I turn to leave when I am hit on the head with something and hit the ground. I go to fight until Hoyt pulls a gun on me and the apprentice covers my mouth. I am taken into a hidden room behind the wardrobe and the door gets sealed shut at the same time as I get another hit to the head and black out.

God complex
A hero is summoned to another world, vanquishes evil, yadda yadda, saves the kingdom and lives happily ever after. There is no such hero in this story. Just a desperate youth with great ambition and very little to lose. A zero to hero style story set in a country clearly inspired by modern USA with just as many issues and the minority of mages often pulling strings from the shadows. I am also hoping the whole thing won't turn out edgy enough to cut me. I want to rely on actual good writing rather than cheap powertrip gimmicks. edit: Please don't mind Zetari's salty review. He is quite literally making up any use of the torture and human experimentation trope and says MC is blank after 4 chapters where he conveniently stops reading just at the start of his first character development. For extra entertainment, I will be uploading chapters two at a time and compose a relevant poem through the chapter names. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Man Who Walked in the Dark
Just because it can be found, doesn't mean it should. All things found, all things fixed. Jude Demarco was the best private detective Nicodemia Station had ever ignored. Detective, handyman, medic. He was a bulldog who tracked down every lead and wouldn't let go until the bloody truth died dripping in his jaws. Even if someone got hurt. Even if someone got killed. You lost it? He can find it. When a collector arrives in a private cruiser from Earth looking for a stolen painting, Demarco has to decide if a few dimes are worth dealing with the worst of the worst in Nicodemia Station. It'll pit him against crime lords, government bureaucrats, and, even worse, the Catholic Church. If there's anything folks get too passionate about, it's art and religion. No sane person would take a job that mixed the two. Then again, sometimes a person just gets desperate.
