Chapter 1: The Prologue

When I woke up from my slumber, I was in a hospital lying on the bed of an ICU. My body was severly bruised as if I had just fought a battle between life and death. There were about 4-5 bullets stuck inside my body. There was a feeling of dizziness which kept me troubled all the time. There was no one around. No doctor no nurse no patient no living creature whose presence I could feel. It was an absolutely deserted and lonely place. I thought that I had to get out of there as soon as possible. Somehow I mustered courage and started moving towards the lobby. There was a cupboard. I checked it out and found about 4 painkillers which were enough to keep me on my feet. It was a kind of maze and I got lost in there. After a lot of time, I found an emergency room. I entered it and to my horror, I found a dead body lying there and a 9mm pistol was kept aside. I began to investigate the body and collect valuable information. Just then a man in a black defensive suit came up and stood beside the other side of the door. He was on a phone and I was sure he was talking about someone's murder. As soon as he saw me, he took out a desert eagle and was just about to shoot me. Little did he realize that my reflexes were much faster than his reflexes and before he even loaded his pistol, I had shot him dead. Immediately I left the room and then strange memories started getting in my mind. Firstly about Mona Sax, my partner in detective department. Then Vladimir Lem, the one who was my enemy in disguise of a friend. As I was walking further, I found an elevator and used it to move down. There I encountered Jim Bravura, the main head of my department. He asked, " Max, what were you doing? What happened out there? You have killed Winterson." Winterson was my teammate in my department. Those false claims that Bravura put on me, even I did not have any answers to it. Just then another man in the same black suit that I met moments ago, started shooting on Bravura with an ingram. Bravura was dead. I immediately pressed the elevator buttons to close it's doors but it was too late. There was a bomb nearby which exploded by the continuous firing of ingram. I fell down but saved myself somehow. There I met Winterson in the Emergency room. He was dead. I was a murderer!!!
