It was around 1.30 pm, while the entire city was sleeping peacefully the police department were in complete chaos. The North Mountain Highways was screaming with fear, witnessing the terrible massacre. Blood splashes, dead bodies, crashed and burnt cars, bullet shells, the police has never seen such a sight and it covered almost 30 km of the highway. "How did this happen? what delayed you guys so much to reach here?", the commissioner was yelling at the Inspector. "Sir.... I am in the same confusion as you sir..... It looks like all the signals were off and there was no way to communicate through phone.... and..... if anyone wanted to report in person..... the disaster swallowed them too", said the Inspector. "If this had happened a year ago, you wouldn't still be standing before me like this, but looking at all the recent incidents and crimes, and police receiving late information, I have no other choice other than taking pity on you", said the commissioner. "Yes sir, even in the mountain tribal village incident which occurred very recently and very closely to this place, this was the same scenario. Something is fishy sir, we must take quick actions", said the inspector. "Hmm.... is the media here already?", asked the commissioner. "No sir, that is the surprise, they are not here yet and it has been almost an hour since this incident started, should we inform them?", asked the inspector. "No, the media's attention will create chaos among civilians, we don't want that, clear this place as soon as possible and isolate the survivors". "Yes sir, but..... I don't think there will be any....."
The commissioner got into his car and sat in the front passenger seat. He took out a cigarette, held it with his lips and searched for the lighter. A hand reached the cigarette from the driver seat with a lighter and lit the cigarette. It was none other than a member of ZAMBROX and there were 2 others along with him sitting in the car. "Don't worry commissioner, we will make sure that this incident doesn't reach to the public", said a guy sitting in the rear seat, "just make sure that you divert the case in a different direction". The commissioner got furious, "Did you know how many lives just died here? Why? Just, why are you doing all this?". "That is none of your concern commissioner, just take the money we give you and do as we say, or you know what is going to happen right?", said the man. "I know that, at least tell me why is this happening". "Let's just say, we are having a BATTLE ROYALE here. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA".
In the meantime, Inspector was busy collecting the evidences and looking out for survivors from the massacre, but you can't expect someone to survive after being shot by a dozens o f bullets. There were not only deaths due to bullets but also due to grenades, rocket launchers, petrol bombs, car crashes and explosions. Private detectives were also helping the police in the scenario. As the Inspector was monitoring everything, he saw senior detective John collecting evidences and taking notes, he approached him to get some idea about the case.
Inspector introduced himself to the detective, "Hello sir, I'm the inspector handling this case, you are detective John right?". "Hello Inspector, I didn't expect myself to be famous among the police department", the detective grinned, "so, what is the progress?". " We have no idea what is going on sir, I approached you to ask if you got any leads", said the Inspector. "Well, the place where we are standing now is where the massacre ended, Inspector. I went to the place where this massacre started and I think I have an hypothesis of could have caused this massacre", said John. "The start of the massacre..... please enlighten me sir". "It all started from the mountain tribal village, Inspector". "The mountain tribal village..... but wasn't that place closed?". "Yes Inspector, a few days ago, there was a great chaos in the village, a riot took place in between the villagers and a mob from the city, an armed riot, do you remember?". "Yes sir, the mob was found guilty for attacking the villagers with weapons and the perimeter of the village was sealed for a few weeks". "But the place was breached, Inspector, and this time too it was the same mob did you notice that?" "Yes, guys wearing coats, armed with weapons, and we did not receive any information again...." "Yes, you can't get signal there. Last time a boy from the village came running to the police station to inform, but this time.... there was no one left in the village to come running to the police station". "What do you mean, detective?", Inspector asked in a shivering voice. "This time, the mob attacked with a perfect plan; they killed everybody in the village there were no survivors left". The Inspector almost lost his consciousness hearing this, "What do you say?".
"Yes. Probably another team of police would have gone there by now, but it all started there. There was someone inside the village, whom the mob was searching for. They destroyed the entire village in search of them, but I think they managed to flee from there and the chase started. There were two mobs this time and I'm sure they had a clash between themselves. The chase was on and the three parties, the mob wearing the black coat, the mob not wearing the black coat and the person or people who were trying to flee, all went on a rampage with their loadout and it ended here".
"I don't understand anything that is going on. An entire village destroyed for one person?... Do u think the person managed to escape?", asked the Inspector.
"I don't know, son, we have to find out".
A police constable came running to call the Inspector, "Sir, please come and see this, we found something inside the woods". The highway was surrounded by a mountain region, hence there were a lot of trees and slopes around it. The constable led the inspector and detective into the woods through an opening in the road's side barrier caused by a vehicle crash. As kept goin further deep, they reached a huge cave. "Such a huge cave, in a place like the?!", the detective astonished. The constable brought them there, not to marvel at the cave, but something else. There was a huge jeep, blocking the entrance of the cave, it way standing in a way such that it tried to enter the cave, it was halfway in. "So this is the jeep that broke the side barrier", said the inspector. "Yes sir, but there is something more serious", said the constable. He asked them to take a look at the front of the car. Since it was really dark and the entrance, which was the size the jeep was blocking the front view, the inspector and detective moved closer to the jeep to take a peak. Image of a mammoth flashed their eyes when the looked inside, a tall and humongous man was holding the jeep with his arms stretched. It looked like he used his strength to stop the jeep from entering the cave. The detective noticed that the front wheels were off the ground, lifted, and confirmed that the giant was the one who stopped the car.
The cops arrived there. The giant was dead, must have been the impact he received on the hit. There was a driver inside the jeep, he was shot dead, but the death must have happened over time by severe bleeding and he tried to run over the giant as his last shot. The inspector was disappointed that he could not even find a single evidence who was alive. After knowing that both of them are dead, he started walking into the cave. As he kept walking, his thoughts were troubled by a question, "why would he try stopping a car when he had such a large cave to hide. The cave is straight and narrow and jeep would have entered straight inside, but he might had a chance". Walking down with his tired legs and cloudy thoughts, he notices a small boy lying inside the cave. "A boy, another dead evidence, but... what is a boy doing here?". He rushed to the boy and checked his pulse. "He is still alive!!!". "DOCTOR, PLEASE GET IN HERE", he shouted. The doctors rushed in and carried the boy outside the cave. As they were doing him first aid, inspector noticed a circular tattoo on his neck. "It is the tattoo that the tribes put.... does this that this boy is from the tribal village?", as the inspector was thinking, something struck his mid, "the detective said that all the tribes are dead, so this boy is the last member of the tribal village... and... that giant, gave his life to save the last person of the tribe, even though he is not one of them".
The inspector went and sat near the corpse of the giant, "who are you even..... what the hell is happening here?"
