The Shadow Part 1 & 2

The screams filled the air for but a brief second, and then she was gone... She was dead...knife through her throat.....the perpetrator...yours truly....I walked through the cold and lonesome streets of London...Confused and dazed I continued walking....walking for the truth....the reasons for her actions,for my actions....why did she meet me..to kill me... No she was put up to it....the dagger which had been intended to end my life had ironically ended hers...and on it the calling card of the shadow.... Like it know that I would live and she would die...taunting me... As I entered the police office that I was a custom to I sat at my desk.. Looking at the little we know about the shadow.. Vowing he would die....vowing vengeance. Out the office I wondered wearily till I hit the big, towering sculpture of the late mayor redburn. The mayor had been another victim of the shadows cunning charm, luring his wife into killing him. She had hung for her crimes the winter before. As I got closer i investigated the plaque, a red envelope lay rested on the ridge, on the front In blood ink was my name. I picked up the letter and tore it open, in the same ink was the words "stay out or you'll be next". I stood there, was this a warning or a threat. So many questions were running through my head when I was startled by a womans scream. I ran to the ally were I heard the screams to confront a woman lying in blood, as I got closer I caught the last whisper of the woman "the shadow, TR".
