Chapter 4 THE FUTURE SEER.

The Orion family was a medium sized family compared to the great five. It had stood neutral for centuries, they had catered to monarchs, rulers, influential families and prominent leaders.

With an ability that allows them to glimpse the future they had made it a point to be neutral, and with this ability that is most sort out by everyone they created a web of influence that rivals that of the five great families even if they were just a medium sized family.

Amongst their prominent clientele were the rulers of the underworld, the five great families from whom they had enjoyed protection.

Police cars surrounded the Orion compound, creating a two-block perimeter as policemen and fireman ran about the scene, the Orion compound was still smoldering from the fierce fire that had managed to wipe out all of the family members.

Bodies were being dug up and identified inspectors swarm the scene as they tried to reconstruct the scene to figure out what went wrong.

"This is impossible!" A veteran Inspector muttered as he held a clean kerchief to his nose

to fight off the smell of burnt bodies.

"What do you mean sir?" A young Inspector who looked like he about to hurl asked while trying to keep his breakfast down.

"Ah, you just got promoted, don't mind me." The veteran Inspector said as he moved to a different room.

The young Inspector followed the Veteran Inspector and introduced himself, "Inspector Dan Quill sir."

The veteran Inspector paused and gave the young Inspector a look over, "You know me?" He asked.

"Of course, Inspector Charles Bond, head of the organized crime division." Dan replied with a hasty salute.

Charles chuckled and waved his arm to dismiss the salute.

"Which division are you with?" Charles asked.

"I haven't been assigned sir!" Dan replied.

Charles smirked as he continued his questioning. "Then what are you doing here?"

"Heard about the incident and decided to take the initiative." Dan answered.

"Chasing the action are we!" Charles commented.

Dan blushed at the comment.

"Well others might have an issue popping your cherries but not me," Charles said with a wicked grin.

Dan felt a chill climb up his shoulder but ignored it.

"What is your take on the regional situation?" Charles asked.

Dan took a few minutes to gather his thoughts before replying, "Crime rate is low, except for a few exceptions like this, I'll say that the police have done a remarkable job keeping the peace. Although there are a few organizations that make our work seem useless overall compared to other regions I'll say that we are doing a good job."

"You mentioned organizations? Can you name them?" Charles pressed.

Dan swallowed his spit as he started feeling like he was taking his Inspector's exams all over again.

"There are a few crime syndicates that have their hands on all illegal pies. Like Janus, we still have no idea who their boss is but last I heard they were into the business of trafficking women and children." Dan answered.

"Good! You have a public grasp of the situation, also the boss of Janus is dead and their organization has been dismantled. Happened last week." Charles said as he made his way out of the mansion and I to the forest that surrounded the mansion.

Dan was quiet for a while has he tried to make heads of what Charles just said. "Dead sir? With no due process? And what do you mean by public grasp?" Dan asked trying to clear the fog in his brain.

Charles chuckled and replied, "Good, you have a good head on your shoulders."

Dan was confused and opened his mouth to get answers from Charles when Charles raised his hands and to stop him from talking.

Instinct took over as Dan's hands made for his weapon holstered to his waist but Charles rushed to his side and grabbed his arms in a vice grip, stopping Dan from pulling his Gun.

"The last time we met was when the Carmichael family lost its prodigy. To what do I owe this surprise visit Sin?" Charles shouted to the forest.

A soft chuckle echoed through the forest, "Just passing by when I stumbled on good on you. I had to say hello, wouldn't want to come across as rude." Sin's voice blanketed both inspectors like a drenched blanket.

"You, rude? I had no idea you gained enlightenment." Charles replied with a smirk.

"You know I forgot that talking with you has always been stressful." Sin said as he moved out from the shadows of the trees.

Dan was freaking out; he had heard rumors of people with extraordinary abilities but always thought them to be rumors.

"I'm guessing you have something to add?" Charles prodded.

"Someone managed to wipe out the Orion family, a family of Seers, that should tell you something, I checked all the bodies but discovered that someone and something is missing." Sin said while casting his gaze at the burnt manor.

"Can you give me a hint?" Charles asked.

"I can do you one better, my calling card and the only daughter of the patriarch of the Orion family.

Emilia Orion." Sin said.

"Well, this just got messed up." Charles said as he pulled out a cigarette and a lighter.

"Tell me about it, a Seer running around with my calling card! Now understand a bit why he wanted our, there is no rest for the righteous." Sin said with a sigh.

"I think you have that phrase wrong." Charles said while eyeing Sin from the corner of his eye.

Sin faces Charles the stink eye before disappearing into the forest like he was never there to begin with.

Charles chuckled as he made his way out of the forest with Dan tailing behind him.

"Sir, what just happened?" Dan asked still trying to piece together what was going on.

Charles sucked in his cigarette and flicked the ashes off the butt. "I just popped your cherry boy." He said with a smirk.
