Shadow Warrior

Off the case! Why am I off the Red Light case? Not that Rodney, this Shadow killer case. I am letting homicide head that one up, It's not Vice, Captain, when a prostitute is attacked and her pimp gets whacked, No pun intended, that makes id Vice doesn't it? " Rodney, just what do you know about this case? Captain, from the evidence I've seen, what we have here is from all indications, a modern day Samuari Shogun with a very sharp sword called a Katana. This person knows how to use it, and so far only on bad guys who like hurtin women. So far only at night, comes in quiet takes care of business and goes out quiet very quiet and virtually unseen. Anyway you slice it, their dead and bloody " Just what in the name of Judas is a Samuari Shogun person you are talking about Rodney"? Well Cap'n a Samuari Shogun is from Japan, old Japan Dresses all in black, with only the eyes visible and carries a single edged sword. At night would appear to be a shadow " How do you know all this Rodney"? Well I spoke to the M.E. after he was done with the stiff and we looked it up you know kinda like doin my job. Police work and all Besides Cap'n, Homicide is short a couple of guys and what they have left are well sort of green they have only been here in homicide a couple years Face it Cap'n they could use the help and we both know it, I already got a leg or two up on this case anyway, ya know " Rodney, I'll tell you what I'll do, I'll have a talk with the Chief of Homicide and put in a word for you" If he is ok with it, I'll let you go homicide on temporary assignment, only temporary got it? we'll go from there" Thanks Cap'n, can I go now I'm kinda bushed? been up all night and all," Sure Rodney come in in the morning and we'll see what homicide says Brick went to his locker and put his things inside everything but his weapon's and his shield. Brick always carried a stow away on his right leg After that Brick went to his desk to make sure that his report was all in order so he could turn it in, by this time it was one in the afternoon Brick was ready to go home for some needed rest as he walked out the front door he headed for the subway, Brick didn't see the eyes watching him. " Shogun"
