《Paragon Company》 Prologue 1: The Pursuit Benjamin¡¯s POV: The weather was gorgeous. It must have been about 25¡ãC without a single cloud to be seen. The day couldn¡¯t have been any better for my first day out on patrol as a proper police officer. My best friend Daniel and I had officially finished our training in the police academy on Friday. It was a great day because once we were officially recognized as police officers the two of us went off to my sister¡¯s restaurant to celebrate. It was there at the restaurant that we met my uncle. He had left his work as the Captain of Tariel City¡¯s Armed Police Division especially early to celebrate with us. It was while we were celebrating that he also told us the goodness. That our application to be stationed as community officers in Carlington had been approved. We were delighted. This is how Daniel and I found are selves patrolling the Carlington area where both are families lived and where my sister set up her own little restaurant a year ago. Just as we reached the road my sister¡¯s restaurant was we started to hear chatter coming through our radios. ¡°This is Alpha-Tango 145 be advised we have a 4-17 (suspect with a gun) escaping on York Avenue.¡± York Avenue was the road we were on and within seconds we saw a man running down the road with a police cruiser in pursuit. But just as we saw him, he saw us and without a second thought he immediately hopped the nearest fence and ran into a building.If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. As the police cruiser came to a stop and the officers got out we could see that they were all armed. Suddenly I realized the building they were trying to enter was the back of my sister¡¯s restaurant which I had a key to. I ran over to the armed officers and told them I had a key. ¡°Here, let me open this up with my key and you guys can go in after the suspect. Though if one or two of you want to follow me I can lead you to cut him off.¡± Moments later Daniel and I found our selves leading three burly officers with their bulky bulletproof vest and guns to the other side of my sister¡¯s restaurant. We arrived in the alleyway and found it still undisturbed so we began to wait. A while later there was still no sign of the saw suspect, we were about to leave when suddenly one of the officers fired his gun. ¡°4-08 (shots fired), 4-08¡± I could hear being shouted as the suspect¡¯s body fell to the ground off the roof with a thud. Then there was a sudden stillness. Nobody was willing to move and it seemed even nature was holding its breath in anticipation of what would happen next. Finally the armed officers began to approach the suspect. Daniel and I hung back behind as we weren¡¯t equipped to deal with an armed suspect. The officers got closer and closer to the suspect but still there was no sign of movement. Yet everyone remained tense. Then we let out a sigh of relief when we heard the officer announce over the radio. ¡°10-26 (possibly dead body)¡± From then on everything was much easier. Daniel and I had to remain at the scene till the coroner and relevant investigation units arrived. Even then we had to spend several hours answering questions as we were involved in a pursuit that resulted in the death of a suspect. Finally we received permission to leave. The case had taken so long that our shift for the day was coming to an end. Yet just before Daniel and I could leave the scene they had started inspecting the body when without warning a message appeared. Prologue 2: The system Benjamin¡¯s POV:
System Message:
Congratulations you have killed a species a part of the SYSTEM! As a result of this the SYSTEM shall be introduced to this planet and it¡¯s races. To find out more about the SYSTEM you can buy the information from the system shop
The area was silent. It took a while for anyone to speak but quickly that silence was ruined by everyone asking questions at once. ¡±Shut Up!¡± The scream came from a sergeant that had arrived unnoticed by everyone else. ¡°Lieutenant Malik of Numara¡¯s Armed Response Division and possibly even the Captain of Tariel¡¯s Armed Response Division are on the way as we speak. I have received order for all of us here to identify and tinker around to find as much information as we can about this system. Aditionally this case has been declared a purple level case. That¡¯s all for now.¡± With that the sergeant turned around and headed back out front to await the coming senior officers. Meanwhile I went off and asked permission to inform my sister that her restaurant wouldn¡¯t be opening today. I received permission and went in search of my sister to give her the bad news.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. Unable to find her I eventually decided to ring her. She finally picked up during my second time ringing her. ¡±Sis, bad news.¡± I began to say only to be interrupted. ¡±Ben just hurry up and spill, I am about to head down and open the restaurant up.¡± Quickly before she could continue I told her about the days events so far. ¡±Sis, I don¡¯t know if you heard but there was a shooting in the backyard of the restaurant. There was an armed police pursuit and the suspect tried to scale the wall and escape across the roof of the restaurant. I was there at the time so I opened the gate for the armed officers with my keys. Sadly the pursuit ended violently, one officer was injured and the suspect was killed.¡± I took a quick breather and a sip of water from my bottle before I continued. ¡±The problem is there has been a few major complications. They are so serious that uncle is being flown down in a helicopter to take charge of the situation.¡± Taking another gulp of cold water as the weather was abnormally hot. ¡°In conclusion the restaurant certainly won¡¯t be operating today and I wouldn¡¯t be optimistic of opening until mid week at the earliest.¡± ¡±Great.¡± Was all the Response I got before she hung up on me. I didn¡¯t take it personally as I know my sister very well. She¡¯s not being rude it¡¯s just that she is very passionate about her restaurant. Finally I returned to where the rest of the cops involved in the situation where gathered chatting with each other while trying to figure out the new system thingy.
