Give Me Strength

Jai

I’m no stranger to murder.

I’ve killed...felt the sticky warmth of life on my skin.

I’m a killer...just like Skull, and I don’t deny that. The difference is; he kills for pleasure, for the sake of it. I kill for purpose, to rid New York City of scum, to make it a safer place.

I murdered four men in cold blood just to make it here; to prove I’m not on the straight and narrow, in hopes to win the trust of Skull and his thugs. The men I killed weren’t innocent by any means. They were convicted criminals of the worst kind and they got the justice they deserved. I made sure of that.

Skull knows what I am, and he doesn’t trust me because of it. I’m surprised he didn’t put a bullet through my head the second I descended into the tunnels. Either he assumed I’d have back up, or he’s curious to see if I’m as good a fighter as my brother.

You see, Skull is under investigation by every law enforcement agency this beautiful country has. Of course, it takes these government agencies ages before they actually get around to doing something about it—policies, laws, rights, and all that bullshit that protects the criminal more than it should. As soon as Skull’s case left our department and went to the ‘higher ups’ I lost it. I wanted to catch Skull. I wanted to be the officer to slap cuffs on him and make his life fucking hell.

But no.

They took that away from me because the FBI deemed Skull’s case too complex for the NYPD. Too. Fucking. Complex. They treat us like children. Incompetent children.

I don’t trust anyone with the case but me. Skull doesn’t have me in his wallet. I want something money can’t buy. I want revenge. I want blood. I want my brother back.

That’s right. I’m a cop—a rookie, really. I wasn’t in the line of duty for long. Once Skull’s case was lost to the FBI, I punched Detective Louis Balleun in the mouth, earning myself a nice suspension with no pay. It didn’t bother me. It gave me all the free time in the world to go after Skull myself. I knew my suspension could only help my cause when I decided to hunt Skull down. I tried to do it legally, but the justice system left me with no choice. Once he’s dead, no judge or jury will convict me.

I’m surprised Skull didn’t tell Kitten I was a cop. Instead, he used it to undo the seam of trust we’ve manage to stitch. She thinks I’m hiding something from her, I can see it in her eyes. I could tell her—it’s not something I’m ashamed of, but I can’t risk it. If anyone else catches wind that I’m a cop, I’m as good as dead. Seventy percent of the population down here are criminals—men and women my precinct has put away at one time or another. Skull, I can take on, but a hundred other hardened fighters? I’m as good as dead.
