Badboy Ace novel Chapter 2

Ryn's pov

Ace was from the Reeds, they were called the dragons and was the most feared mafia in the world. Those two dead men must've been from another gang judging by the snake tattoos on their necks.

"Are the body's cold officer?" I asked. He looked up confused before checking the temperature of the bodies.

He nodded "Yes."

It meant that those men had been dead a long time ago and it also meant that they probably weren't killed here but somewhere else. I sighed before looking around. Ace really knew how to cover up his tracks.

A slight movement from a small shop before me had my attention brought to it. I looked through the glass doors to see a plump man looking at the scene. His eyes diverted quickly when he realized I was observing him.

Nate saw my line of vision and raised his eyebrows at me. I nodded to the shop and we both proceeded to the frightened looking man. When we entered I noticed how the older man's body tensed up at our arrival.

He was behind the counter and rather looked flustered in an uneasy way. "How can I help you officers?" He stuttered before clearing his throat. I looked around the small grocery shop and noticed how it was empty.

Nate walked up to him and started asking questions while my gaze seemed to be stuck on the door to my right. I hadn't failed to notice how the man kept glancing at it in jittery.

"Where is that door leading to sir?" I asked. If it were possible his already tense body became more rigid.

"Uh it leads to the back alley." He stuttered. I hummed as I saunter towards it.

"Nate ask him questions and take notes on it!" I called out as I opened the door.

"Wait don't you want back up?" Nate rushed out. His eyes kept shifting from the nervous man and to me. I shook my head no and gave him a smile trying to ease his anxiety.

"I'm just going to have a look, I'm armed if anything goes wrong." I claimed and pointed at my duty belt that held my equipment. He nodded reluctantly before I turned around to go out the door.

The man was right, it led to an alleyway that was empty. My eyes looked around for anything out of the ordinary and before I knew it I was far from the shop I came out of.
