Chapter 16:

He was cheating on her...

Under The Shattered Eclipse


The secret police headquarters; Sunday, 10:30 am.

Currently, the secret police headquarters is unofficially divided into two factions. Most of the people hate the Quixotic predators. But because of the support of the head of the secret police branch, they couldn't make their move. Consequently, people who respect the head started supporting the quixotic predators too. But on the other hand, another faction who wholeheartedly hated the Quixotic predators also formed, which is led by the asst. head.

The asst. head is a female, and her name is Airi. Why is she so against the Quixotic Predators, you might ask? Well, the truth is, her boyfriend got killed by "Quixotic Predator: Vampire". That's the name they have given to Hiroshi. They don't know the identities of the Quixotic predators yet. That's why they use these codenames to identify the two Quixotic Predators.

As for Yuki, her codename is "Quixotic Predator: Witch". Well, people in the headquarters likes to call her "bitch" because of her way of killing. Airi is dedicated on revenge on her dead boyfriend. After the incident, she tried her hardest to join any defence force. And now, she is the asst. head of the secret police, which specialises in these field of catching serial killers. But she thinks that it has become corrupted as the head is supporting the Quixotic Predators to some extent. If this goes on, her revenge won't happen.

It happened a few years ago. Airi was not so beautiful. She had a big scar on her face and everybody thought that it was ugly. At one point, she started hating herself too. She was a victim of bullying because of this. Nobody liked her. Although she was kind and a good person at heart, she was alone. But at that time, only one person in the whole world accepted her for who she is. But in an incident of the Quixotic Predator, he died. He was a journalist, so the police said that he was most likely murdered when he was recording the "Quixotic Predator: Vampire". She cried herself out when she heard this. The only person that accepted her was killed. She wouldn't forgive him even if he killed himself as an apology.

The police said the word "most likely". But what was the actual scenario? Well, he was cheating on her with another girl. He would tell her that his job was a journalist. But why? Actually, Airi was rich. That's the only reason. Her parents tried all methods to cover up her scar, but failed.

Fast forward to todays time. Due to the advent of modern technologies, she was successful at covering up her scar. She also had a glow up. She is now one of the most beautiful women in the headquarters, but she is loyal to her 'late boyfriend'. She didn't know that her boyfriend cheated on her. But who is gonna tell her that...

Recently, there seems to be chaos in the secret police headquarters. This is occurring due to wanting the control of power. While Airi was trying to seize control over the place, the chief was holding it. This battle is getting worse by the day. But it seems like Airi is losing this battle. But she cannot stop. Her revenge is driving herself to do it. Even if it means a coup d etat, she would do it.

[coup d etat means overthrowing a lawful government through illegal means]

But luck seems to have struck Airi. The chief recently was involved in a car accident. He is currently in the hospital in the ICU. His daughter is currently at the hospital too. I recon I didn't tell her name. Her name is Yumiko. She knows whats going on in the headquarters, and she is worried about the Quixotic Predators safety.

As he is in the hospital, to cover up his absence, the asst. head, Airi was assigned as the temporary head. This is problematic for the Quixotic Predators. They currently don't know anything about it. It all happened when they were at the beach, enjoying themselves.

Actually, about the chief getting involved in a car accident. Well, actually, it was airi who did it. She intentionally damaged the brakes of the chief's car to make it crash and so she could take over the power. What an awful woman.

The secret police headquarters is not known to the people. Only the ones who get specially selected for the post and works for it gets the opportunity to know it. There being some exceptions, like Yumiko, who also knows about the headquarters location. She wanted to help the Quixotic Predators in a way. She tried to contact them in anyway possible. But she couldn't do it. Before she could do anything, Airi had made her move. She at first captured Yumiko and put her to house arrest. She wouldn't interrogate her yet. That's because theres a chance that the chief might make it. And if he does and sees her only child and daughter beat up, interrogated , possibly raped and tortured by the secret polices in order for her to spill out the details about the Quixotic Predators, he would give everyone involved in this death penalty.

Airi is an evil girl. She was already thinking about interrogating Yumiko about the Quixotic Predators. But she couldn't. She also put all the people supporting the chief in the battle of power to jail. She is trying to change the whole system and make everything and everyone under her control. The secret police is an independent and sovereign police force, which is free to do whatever they want as long as they complete their mission. So the government cannot do anything about it. It was looking great for Airi.

Airi, a girl victim of bullying, a victim of the Quixotic Predators, a victim of cheating but she doesn't know, a dark green haired woman of 5 foot 5 height, is now in control of the secret police. Her goals? It is to kill the Quixotic Predators with her own hands. Will this bring good to the secret police? Or will her plan of illegally taking over the power backfire on her? Well, nobody knows. But it's complete chaos, thats for sure.

Meanwhile, she assigned another woman to the asst. head post who had similar past and grudge about the quixotic Predators. She also ousted many from their power and put anti-quixotic predators supporting people. Airi, her assistant and the other people hatched up a plan to capture the Quixotic Predators. It was the perfect plan, according to them. If the plan works out successfully, both of the Quixotic Predators will be captured.

Yumiko on the other hand, is still on house arrest. She is scared. She doesn't even know how her father was doing. But there was something that she wasn't expecting.

Guards were placed around her house to keep her aloof from the outside world. The guards would always try to harass her in different ways. Well, they didn't do it fully intentionally. It was an order from Airi to harass her so that she might get fed up and give up information. She told the guards to use any means possible except physical contact, or any form of physical violence. So basically ,no touching. Due to this harassment, she cannot even have a nice bath. The guards would always have binoculars with them when she goes to the bath. They then would just look through the binoculars. And Yumiko couldn't do anything. Sometimes, if they can't see with binoculars, they would send drones and record her bathing.

But then, something happened. One of the guards, sneaked inside the house and knocked her door. She was scared. The guard wouldn't stop knocking. When she opened, she was expecting the absolute worst. But if she denies the entry, she was scared that they will break in and kill her.

As she opened, the guard entered and immediately closed the door. This is it for Yumiko. She was going to lose her innocence that night, or that was what she was expecting. The guard was actually a good guy and told her valuable information about the outside world, especially what was happening in the secret police headquarters and left. He also told her not to worry as he will damage all the drones and break all the binoculars when she bathes.
