Proctor

Chapter 1

New York City, the one stop place for some horrific crimes to ever be done. And also the place for some of the best investigators to be found. I myself can be considered an investigator, but on a much different scale. You see, most call me a crazy lunatic who kills innocent people. Because that's what they want the public to know, but I have much more a reason to kill than they will ever know. I only kill the ones who do wrong, and serve to protect the innocent as a somewhat vigilante, I don't wanna consider myself a vigilante as that is not my thing at all. I only do the things I do to prevent any criminal to have a chance at being free after doing a horrific crime. Many criminals have been let go too easily after doing things like manslaughter and rape. And that does get too me, someone who has ruined other lives being let back into society? Not a good thing at all.

I have probably killed 26 people since I started my job. It isn't easy at all, the cops are always out to get me at every crime scene, because they know I will be there to investigate. But they don't want people like me to get in their way, especially me. At the end of the day, if i'm solving the crime, someone will die in the end.  Of course no cops will die, I made it my goal to make sure no innocent lives die, and that only the bad will be dead. There have been many close calls of course, cops are always ordered to shoot at me if I am spotted, which isn't fun if I have to shoot back for warning shots.

They all say the exact same thing whenever they see me as well, everyone seems to call me Proctor. I don't seem to hate the name, nor do I fancy it. But it works, sounds cool, and is cool. So I guess after a few years of doing my work, I am officially the Proctor. Everybody talks about him, everybody fears him when they got no reason too, the Proctor is the one who is protecting the damn city, and the cops are out to ruin my ego whenever they can get the chance too. The hunt for my identity is also out their, but I don't ever make it obvious, all they know of what I look like is a guy in a long coat, with a hat and mask. Nothing else, just a violent person hiding in a costume out to find whatever crimes he can solve and finish with a deadly bullet.

But enough talking, I think we are gonna go fishing for some crimes to solve, this city is full of them.

Chapter 2

I hop back into my apartment from my window sill, where I typically like to watch over the city when i'm not in my so called costume that they say it is. I prefer it as my on duty clothing. Now that i'm getting prepared for my work, I decide to put on my work clothing before I use my CB radio that I illegally acquired a year back.

I get my clothes on, a cool looking brown trench coat partly wet from yesterdays weather, and a brown hat that can cover my face when needed. I head down to my study where I do all of my investigating, despite never actually finishing an investigation before the cops, I can certainly take pride in all of my work over the 10 years I've been in business. I remember when I started all of this, at first I just wanted to do stuff the proper way,  but that turned around rather quickly, not something I wanna talk about just yet, but the first mission of mine wasn't a good experience. It can kinda explain why I prefer killing the criminals more than locking them up.

On the radio I can hear the dispatch talking about a break-in happening on the other side of the city, which will be too far for me to travel, so that is yet another crime I cannot control, but that happens a lot, and I only investigate serious crimes that happen, so that would be no big deal to me if it was happening 1 block from here. Unless I could see a break in happening from my windowsill, then I won't have a problem going down there and shooting him. But I would also make my position of living easier for the cops to find. That would be the last thing I want them to know, a general area of my hiding spot for them to scan around 24/7.

But then I hear something extremely interesting, a citizen reported loud noises in an ally way across the street, just a block down from here. So time to get moving I guess. I quickly jump out of the window and up the side railings, I leap across the side ally to the other building and grab a pole climbing to the top, I start running to the direction I must go. I can see the location from here, the coast is so far clear, but a whole lot of yelling is going from that area, so I think we can be dealing with a gang fight right now, those typically end bloody. As I close in on the situation, a lady from a top window starts screaming at them about calling the cops "Shut up you old shit!". someone from the crowd yells, but then a loud pop comes from the crowed, only for the lady to start screaming, and the gang members start running down the street, and a gunman is revealed, I quickly pull out my revolver, aim down my sites on his chest, but I can hear the sirens coming from down the street, so I had to pull back. Too risky to take a shot, they will have a massive man hunt as soon as I reveal myself He is getting away though.. I gotta chase after him, from what I can see from here, we got 1 dead guy in the spot where the crowed was, so it must of been an ambush. 

I tried to tail them for a block without being noticed by cops driving by. But I think it might be too late, I don't know how a gang of men who look just like gangsters can get away. But they just did, and that is another criminal missing. But just as my luck should of ran out, I could hear loud yelling down the alley of my building. "Why the hell would you shoot him!". "I don't know man, the cops were coming, I don't like being told we have spies"... You were told you had a spy? I thought to myself.. There are 2 ways this could be explained, it's either someone found out he was a spy and told them quickly, or someone with the police department revealed him. Sounds like a case worth getting into, first I need answers, so I can't kill these guys yet. I pull out my revolver and turn the corner revealing my whole body, I just need to shoot this guys legs so he can't run. "THE PROCTOR!!". They yell as I take a shot at the murders leg, they all flee not bothering to help him. of course they don't help him, in war you never leave a man behind, but on the streets of New York, who the hell cares.

"HEEEEELP MEEEEE YOU COWARDS!". The man on the ground screams as I go to grab him by the shirt and toss him to the wall standing up. "Who do you for! Who told you he was a spy, and why did you shoot that man?". I yell with my deep intimidating voice. 'Should of asked that before you shot me you FUCK!". I wack him with the barrel on my revolver, I am now irritated, we are gonna be drawing attention soon, unwanted attention. "I'm gonna give you one more chance, and I will shoot your next leg. So give me answers". With a bit more of  a calmer voice to see if that works. "I shot him because he was a traitor to our gang and what we stand for. If you haven't noticed by the tattoos, I am with the crips. So this isn't something a weak lonely man like you can handle." "Now who told you he was a spy? The cops? Another spy? answer me dammit!". "This situation is a lot more bigger than you can handle, so go fuck yourself!". He spits right in my face after that last line he will ever say. "Well if that's how it is gonna be".  I put the barrel of the gun in his mouth and pull the trigger. The pop echoes throughout the streets as dogs bark loudly at the noise... 27 now dead.

Chapter 3

The entire city has gone under lock down and the cops are searching everywhere for me. Whenever my name is heard to be around, they will call a lock down, I don't know how they would know I was active considering I kept myself quite secret until I killed that crip. but it would take them an hour to find that body and it has only been half an hour. I am currently hiding on top of the roof of a building across from my apartment. Just scouting it to see if the cops happen to break down the door. Which they have yet to do so, and they haven't even started looking around the inside of any buildings, so they must be expecting me to be wandering around the street disguised as a pedestrian. Right now though, I gotta get working on this case. I guess I will be doing work outside of my study.

So we have got ourselves a spy sent in by the NYPD, in which he was discovered and killed.  The guy I interrogated refused to say who told him about the spy. So that is what we gotta figure out, I am guessing it was a corrupt cop, but I can't just go against the cops assuming one of them is working for the crips. Just doesn't work that way, it's either I can become a cop killer, or create a case against them. Well, now that we got our goals set, time to get answers. But this won't be easy, my first plan is too steal documents from high ranking officers in the PD. Because if you think about it, he or she could of helped the crips escape the cops every time they pull off a crime. And it can explain why the cops knew I was in the area so fast, not too fast though, they would of waited  like 10 or 20 minutes before calling a search to hide suspicion.

Well, it seems like I can head back to my apartment, I need to right down what I currently got in my study. I have to get out of my costume though to make it to the other side without being spotted by anyone watching. I get out of my work clothes and put them in a duffal bag I placed on the top of the building i'm on specifically for these situations. I just gotta get to my door and I'm safe. Gun in the back of my pants, back in my pedestrian looking clothes. Time to get going. I leave the ally way that kept me cover for my changing of clothes. Covering my face with my hat so anyone passing by doesn't take a look at me. Can never be too safe when it comes to hiding your identity. I am right at my apartment doorway now, ready to go in until a cop car pulls right up in front of it.. Of all places they could go to and the people they could search, it is me. Two young males get out of the car and walk towards me. "I don't believe we searched you yet sir, just lend us a few minutes of your time and we can all go on with our day". "Sure" I said with a low voice trying to act innocent to the cops.  "Where are you heading to today sir?" The cop asks me while grabbing my bag, "Just trying to go home officer". He nods to my response as he opens the bag and gives a gasp from his breath, This is it, he saw the mask first thing as he grabs his radio "We got a situ-".I quickly take a punch at his throat, grab the bag, pull out my revolver and put it at the other officers face. 'Don't even dare to make a move, I would hate to make you the first cop I've killed!". The cop I punched tries to get up to tackle me but I quickly kick him back to the ground and start running for it. " DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!".

I could hear the cops chasing after me, and the sirens going off, the entire damn police force is gonna be after me, and they now know what I look like. This isn't good whatsoever, I am fucked!. Suddenly a few shots are fired towards me, the two officers have started to use their weapons. Gives me no choice but to fire a round of my gun at one officers foot, sounds like it missed though.

I took a quick left to an ally way with a fence in the way, I quickly climbed it and jumped down, that will slow them down for a few seconds.  "You won't get away proctor!". I could hear one of them yelling a few meters behind me as if he wants to scare me. But I will get away, I always do. I just gotta find somewhere to hide, no way will I ever give up. Suddenly though, one of the cops had managed to cut me, he jumped right into my pathway, I continued to run right into him, and he tackled me to the ground, I got up and kicked him to the wall, he got up and took a swing at my face, I tossed one right back at him, and his partner came around the other corner, and started to withdraw his pistol. In no way will I die in this ally way, so I got my revolver and stood still, aimed down my sites, and shot his chest.

"NOOO! YOU BASTARD!". As he drops to the ground, the other officer starts yelling and gets up, but I grab his throat by one hand, and slam him into the wall, I get close to him. "You killed my friend you damn killer!". He is right, I am officially a cop killer, something I spent years preventing, just happened in 2 seconds. No going back now. "Look, I'm sorry I killed him, but he would of killed me, not like I killed him for no reason. People die all the time". He is struggling to escape my grip. "You will pay for what you did, you can't escape this situation, and when we capture you, we will kill you!". I cover his mouth with my hand and say right in his hear "Look, you guys got a corrupt cop in the station, and he is working for the crips. That is why the crips always escape every crime scene they make.". That got an expression on his face like he is curious and a lot of anger. He tries harder to escape my grip, so I take the barrel of my gun and hit his head hard enough to knock him out. I take a look at his name tag and see that he's Officer Ethan's.
