Chapter 1

"Where the hell is Miroslav," the lead detective asked. "He said he'd be late cause his daughters sick and he's waiting on his sister to return," Alexei replied. "Send him to my office once he arrives," the lead detective said before leaving. Alexei stepped outside and called Miroslav, who didn't answer. After about half an hour alter, Miroslav showed up to work. "Miroslav," Alexei said. "I know the lead detective wants to see me. He sent me an angry message," Miroslav laughed. "You better go inside and see him. He's real angry today," Alexei said. Miroslav went inside and into the lead detectives office. A hour and half later he came out and sat down at his desk. Alexei went over to him only to see that Miroslav was distracted by a case. "Miroslav," Alexei said. "Yea," Miroslav said looking up at him. "Did he hit you again," Alexei asked. "Yes, but it's nothing new," Miroslav sighed. "Everyone pay attention," the lead detective shouted. Once he had everyone's attention he began to talk about the next objective. "Now as for the person who's going undercover as a member of The Shadow Syndicate is Miroslav Shinazugawa," the lead detective said. "Are sure that's a good choice. Detective Miroslav has a daughter," another detective shouted. "Send someone else. The Shadow Syndicate is no joke. The last detective that was undercover there was killed the moment he was found out," Alexei said. "Its alright, Alexei, I'll do as im told," Miroslav said getting up. "Miroslav, come into my office. I'll give you the rundown in there," the lead detective said before leaving. "Miroslav," Alexei said concerned. "I'll be fine, but if something happens to me please look after my daughter," Miroslav said. "I will, just be sure come back safely," Alexei said. "I'll go speak with the lead detective," Miroslav said before walking off. After he finished talking with the lead detective Miroslav left with Alexei to handle a case. Once they finished with it they headed back to the station to finish up all the paperwork.

Miroslav showed up in front of The Ravon as part of his job. The Ravon got up and walked closer to Miroslav before crouching down in front of him. "You're a mixed race aren't you," The Ravon said. "Ravon," The Wolf said walking over. "What did you find out," The Ravon asked standing up. "His name is Miroslav Shinazugawa Age: 26 Has a 4 year old daughter and his wife died 4 years ago after giving birth. He works in a nearby office. He's a Russian/Japanese mix," The Wolf replied. "No wonder he looks strange," The Ravon said. "Would you like me to handle this, sir," The Wolf asked. "I'll take care of this one. You may leave," The Ravon replied. The Wolf nodded before leaving the room. The Ravon grabbed Miroslav's arm yanking him up off the ground. He dragged him into another room and threw him to the ground. "You'll have to do a lot better than that fake form Detective Miroslav," The Ravon said. Miroslav looked up at the man with shock and fear. "My men have seen you going in and out of the station. You've even shook down one of my people. You're fullish if you think that you could take us down from the inside," The Ravon said as he chained Miroslav to the wall. "Wait, what are you going to do," Miroslav asked. "Don't worry, Detective, I won't touch your family. Not yet anyway," The Ravon smirked before leaving. Miroslav looked around the room, but all he saw was a mattress on the floor. He stood up and walked around the room unsure of what to do. *I'm fucked. He's for sure going to kill me once he returns. I've been undercover for three weeks now but if I don't make contact with Alexei or the lead detective soon it'll be bad. Alexei is probably already worried,* Miroslav thought. The next few days were brutal as Miroslav suffered from beatings and torture. The Ravon entered the room after a week had passed. "Have you had enough, Detective," The Ravon asked. Miroslav didn't say anything, but just sat there starring at him. The Ravon grabbed Miroslav by the hair and dragged him to the bed before throwing him. He pinned him down before tying his hands together. "Wait, stop, what are you doing," Miroslav asked afraid. "You will break soon, Miroslav. They always do," The Riven smirked. "Look, I really don't know anything. The lead detective didn't give me much information," Miroslav said. The Ravon looked down at him before smirking. "AHH," Miroslav screamed in pain. "Stay still," The Ravon said. "No, please, stop. It hurts so much," Miroslav begged. "Bare with it," The Ravon said. "Stop...hic...please," Miroslav begged. The Ravon ignored Miroslav's cries and continued on until The Wolf knocked on the door. Miroslav had passed out multiple times but that didn't stop The Ravon. "Stop...hic...please...hic...no more," Miroslav begged. The Ravon laughed before leaving the room to handle a problem. Miroslav laid there barely conscious on the bed covered in blood and other bodily fluids. *I want to go home,* Miroslav thought before passing out.

A few months later, The Ravon forced Miroslav to remain near him at all times. Miroslav had slowly gotten used to the way The Ravon treated him. One day while waiting outside a private room, Miroslav was grabbed and dragged into a nearby room by a servant. "Miroslav," the man said before hugging him. Miroslav stood there without answering. The man let go before stepping back and removing his disguise. "Alexei," Miroslav said surprised. "I'm the one who should be surprised. We thought you were found and killed. It's been three months since you disappeared without a trace," Alexei said. "I was found out," Miroslav said. "That can't be cause they didn't kill you," Alexei said. "I don't know. My daughter, how is she," Miroslav asked worriedly. "She's alright, but she misses you so much. Your sister as well," Alexei replied. "WHERE THE HELL IS MIROSLAV," The Ravon shouted. Miroslav flinched before turning to leave. Alexei grabbed him causing him to stop. "Let go, Alexei, I need to go," Miroslav said. "You seriously can't go back to him now. He sounds pissed," Alexei said. "Put your disguise back on and hurry," Miroslav said. Alexei quickly put his disguise back on just as the door flung open. The Ravon walked over to Miroslav hitting him hard. "I told you stand guard outside my room," The Ravon said angrily. "My mistake, sir, it won't happen again," Miroslav said as he knelt there. "Ha, just what the hell were doing that made you leave your spot," The Ravon asked. Miroslav didn't know how to answer as he didn't want Alexei to be found out. They Ravon turned towards Alexei who was disguised as a servant. "What were you doing with this servant," The Ravon asked. "Nothing," Miroslav said standing up. "Nothing you say," The Ravon turning around. Miroslav froze in place a moment before stepping back. The Ravon grabbed Miroslav before slamming him against the wall. Alexei stood there frozen as he wasn't sure how to help his friend. Miroslav used his hand to signal Alexei to leave immediately. Alexei hesitated a moment before leaving, but the moment he walked out he heard Miroslav yell out in pain. He wanted to run back inside and help him, but he wasn't able to due to the guards outside. Alexei quickly ran off to a quieter place in order to call the lead detective. He told the lead detective everything he saw and heard before returning his work. Once finished he started to leave but froze dead in tracks whenever he saw The Ravon carry an unconscious Miroslav wrapped in nothing but a trench coat. He feared for his friends safety as he quickly got into his car and sped away.

Miroslav woke to find himself in a darkened room. He winced in pain as he tried to sit up. Suddenly the light flicked on and women approached the window. "Oh, you're awake," the woman said. "Where am I," Miroslav asked his voice hoarse. "You're at Mr. Volkou's home. He brought you here last night and asked me to take care of you until he returns," the woman replied. Miroslav throw the blankets off himself only to see a ankle monitor. He realized that he wasn't wearing anything but a shirt that was huge on him. "You shouldn't move around to much. Your body is still recovering," the woman said. "How long was I unconscious," Miroslav asked. "A couple of days. Mr. Volkou should be home soon try to rest until then," the woman said before leaving. Miroslav laid back down on the bed and starred up at the ceiling. After a bit he fell asleep only to wake moments later to someone on top of him. "You're awake now," Kazimir said. "Please don't," Miroslav said. "Don't worry I won't do anything to you right now," Kazimir said. "Wh...What are you doing," Miroslav asked. "Just treating your injuries," Kazimir replied. "I...I can do it," Miroslav said. "Stay still," Kazimir said. Miroslav flinched before laying there quietly. Kazimir smirked as he continued treating Miroslav wounds. Once he finished Kazimir throw clothes at Miroslav before leaving the room. After Miroslav got dressed he went out of the room and over to Kazimir. "Let's go," Kazimir said. "Ok," Miroslav said. Kazimir smiled as Miroslav was finally being obedient. They headed out to the meeting spot. Miroslav stayed close to Kazimir until he entered the room to speak with the higher ups. Miroslav stood outside the door waiting for the meeting to end. Kazimir and the others continued to talk until a loud commotion could be heard from outside. One of the guards standing outside ran into the room shouting that the police were here. The Shadow Syndicate quickly escorted their boss to safety. Kazimir looked around as he was looking for Miroslav. He finally spotted him trying to get free from a couple of officers. "Ravon, we need to leave," The Wolf said. "Wait for Miroslav," The Ravon (Kazimir) said. "But, sir, they aren't going to let him again and besides he's a detective," The Wolf said. Kazimir grinned as he watched Miroslav break free from the police. Another officer tried to grab him, but he dodged it. "Miroslav," The Ravon shouted. Miroslav looked over to see Kazimir waving him over. He looked back at the officers who were trying to catch him before running towards Kazimir. The Wolf got in and quickly started the car as The Ravon got in. The Ravon left the door open for Miroslav to jump through. Once inside the car they quickly sped away. The officers stood there confused by Miroslav actions.
