Chapter 1: A confusing start to a case
it's daytime in the city as our view moves to the 69** th **** Precinct the old building still standing proud, traffic moving normally through the streets. A black futuristic model sports car comes to a stop in front of the 69 ***th* Precinct; the doors slide forward on the vehicle resting slightly on the engine housing. A booted foot is seen stepping out, then a German Sheppard, in guide dog harness and on leash jumps out ahead, sitting on the curb waiting for handler and fellow passenger to exit. The handler, who is holding on to the leash follows his dog, hand reaching out to pet his canine's head, from the drivers' side. His passenger joins him - our view moves back to handler and dog.
Our view moves upwards revealing, leather boots, well cut black pants, beyond that a tight fine cut long sleeve dress shirt underneath once again a well made leather trench coat. His long silver hair hangs in a pony tail, held in place by a rubber band, two ____ hang in front of his face where human ears would be. His Silver white furred ears stand tall, a ear-ring in the right ear near the tip. His eyes are light brown, made unclear by the cloudy scars in his eyes. This is Detective Kouji Ginsenshi.
Our view moves over to his company - who wears white form fitting pants, showing off his bodily curbs, a short sleeve shirt hugs his well-defined chest, his hair also in ponytail though slightly higher on his hair line- his eyes a bright blue. This is Shuichi Shidou.
A solid black German Sheppard Dog, trained as a guide dog for the blind, and later in life became Kouji's Police Cyber - K-9. This is Kuro.
The three-o continue into the Precinct building, once inside -
"Yes, can I help you sir?" A dry sounding voice came from the person behind the desk. Kouji standing tall answers the dry sounding tone of the person. "Is the Head of investigations - in?"
The sound of phone being picked up, dialed and then someone speaking and then being hung up again, the dry voice answers.
"Yes, he's in. Its that way." the person points in the general direction of the office, another officer on duty appears, waiting to see if the desk clerk would realize the guy's blindness.
"If you could not point, and possibly give better directions."
Now the other officer approaches the desk clerk and the young man. "You're headed to Investigations?" The officer waits for a reply, the young man turning towards him.
"Yes I am."
"If you want, I can accompany you there, since I'm headed there myself." Kouji thinks on this a minute.
"First off- who's your name sir?" Comes Shuichi's voice, from behind Kouji.
"My Name? ..." The man behind the front desk answers.
"You do know we're both Detectives, right?"
The front desk man's mouth goes dry, no reply forth coming. "I'll have to speak with your boss later then."
The desk man reaches out and roughly grasps Kouji's arm.
The two head off to Investigations- this trip takes a good 3 minutes. Finally arriving at a frosted windowed wooden door, with the words: 'Head of Investigations Bakageta Tantei' painted onto the frosted glass. With a knock they enter an office seeming to go back in time to the 1940's, with everything seeming to be from that era even the man behind the desk wearing a well cut suit with suspenders on his shoulders, and an even older armpit gun holster under his left arm. All about his desk are papers and file folders of different sizes. A wood panel desk under his elbows.
