"This time I messed up I really Messed up."~ Katrina 3-weeks ago The day was August fourth A special day for Katrina because it was her son's birthday and she didn't see much of him these days. She had gotten him a special gift something she felt bad about not doing every other birthday but it was too late for regrets he was eighteen now and she was hitting 40 sooner than she liked so with a deep sigh and a pat on her brown overcoats pocket she opened the door of the 1961Lincholn continental closing it with as much enthusiasm as a horse put to pasture. Katrina hated this day not because it was her sons birthday and her ex husband had kept her from him for the last ten years but because it was the kind of cloudy gray day that held no good prospects. Taking a small sip of the flask she kept in her coat at all times always close to her gold detectives badge engraved with the DeRulo PD logo oh so carefully before knocking roughly on the door wiping her lips with the sleeve quickly hoping to hide the smell of whiskey on her breath. When the door creaked open and ~He~ stepped out she felt the hairs on her neck stiffen and a mix of gladness and dread washed over her for the man that kept her from her son so many years hadn't aged any better than her the hairs in his beard speckled with gray and white almost made her laugh but she knew her hair wasn't any younger looking. "Katrina?" he asked quizzically most certainly not expecting her of all people to show up. "Tom." she stated back with a straight face ignoring his questioning demeanor and making a move to walk in. "You can't be here and you know that" Tom whispered blocking her way with his arm "besides what would you possibly want with him on his birthday?" he said with a slight devilish half smile which hurt her alcohol abused heart more than any drugged up gang banger ever could but she knew just what to say in retaliation "I can be here because he's eighteen now and you can't keep me away from my own son anymore and what I want with him is none of your business!" she hissed in his face shouldering past him and into the kitchen were the boy...now man that she hadn't seen in years was sitting with a few friends making some kind of soup probably potato she still remembered that used to be his favorite. "Mom what are you..." is all he had time to say before she grabbed him and hugged the life out of her son not caring that he remained stunned and noodle armed." the embrace ended abruptly when they heard a deafening scream come from the doorway blood slowly seeped into the kitchen. "DAD!" is all her son said before charging into the next room. "Kevin!" Katrina shouted after her son drawing her Colt special fro its shoulder holster and moving swiftly into the next room walking in on something that would haunt her nightmares for the rest of her life. A man dressed in a sleek white suit spattered in dark red stains stood in the door way of the house holding what appeared to be a katana against Tom's upper body pulling it out slowly and letting her ex husband fall limp in a pool of his own blood her son most likely in shock stood no more than a foot away motionless all Katrina had time to do was train her revolver on the intruder as he pushed his long black hair out of his face and grabbed hoer son by the collar lifting him clear off the ground and simultaneously slashing his blade at the air splattering the blood covering his blade all over the wood floor. "let him go or I'll shoot I swear to god!" she shouted before feling a sudden sharp pain in her ribs looking down she saw about a foot of tempered steel protruding from her chest and her dress shirt slowly soaking up blood all she remembered before blacking out was the panicked look on her son's face as the intruder dragged him outside and into her car.
