Tonight I'm the runaway train skulking from the rain stealthy
I've got my knife to keep me warm and the mittens my grandmother made for me
I cut and slash through the dark hours, my night stick ready for the last lap
And now I'm on the final straight blugeoning hard, foot down, punching lights till dawn......Later I awake sweating

I take my morning constitutional courtesy of Mr Daniels and review the news channels
My name's is Khyle, I think I mentioned that. I live the life of a librarian by day and the lives of phsycotic serial killers by night
It's legal...it's not normal
Next: Detective Lu Chan gets on Khyles case..

Khyle Apex trudges through narrow streets in the rain, hours pass- maybe days.
Tonight I'll stay out in the jungle- pass the waning hours in some dark corner away from the machine.
Billericay Police Department, South Precinct, China Town.
Oct 21st 2032, AD 3am. Police room 116; Duty Detective Mr Lu Chang.
Lu Chang prepares for the tombstone shift and reviews the previous days crime sheets.
No shield to protect me this time, just Uncle Jack and a packet of Luckies, we'll be packed in like sardines on derelict corner tonight.
The normal trash, nothing interesting on the vid this morning. A janitor unit buzzes past clearing the debris from the previous days interviews...blood,sweat,broken tooth enamel, nothing unusual.

5am dawn breaks, a drab hue, a pale hand taps out a number on a vid com...brrrrrr....connection enable....you have contacted Billericay Police Dept emergency services, place state your name, ID and business.
At 3.15am Lu Chang sluices the dregs from a bottle of brandy and clocks on for the late shift. 2 hours of paperwork before it's time to hit the streets.
Khyle Apex, 671837...I think I killed 5 women yesterday evening....'SECURITY ALERT PRIORITY ONE, REMAIN EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE, FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION ON SIGHT, A SQUAD CAR WILL BE WITH YOU IN 2 MINUTES" The response was quick, the sound of police sirens closing in, the drone of heavy boots echoed down the alleyway, the metallic click of automatic weapons being loaded.
Something blips on the audio- a fresh batch of product for the meat grinder no doubt, only the stir fry jobs for Mr Chang- nothing that requires a little slow cooking and deliberation.
"Lu Chang responding to your audio- what's the problem?" "Roger Lu, get your arse down to Ian Drury Street (124th) looks like we've got another blade job."

The butt of a shotgun impacts on Mr Apexs jaw, consciousness fades to grey with a lamenting chant; "you are under arrest, you have the right to remain silent, if you give up the right to remain silent a.........
