Nightmare in the city

It was a c sr. dark night in metropolis, a large city and outside of New York, USA. The year is 2199 and the dawning of a new centuary is apon us with great delight to most of the million citizens or so that live here. however in the ranks we were more worried about the mass killings that strangely occur this judgment of conviction every hundred years. I am an underground detective that investigates for the law The names Brody, Detective Brody, I said to the new Detective sergeant of the NYPD.Its good to meet ya, Kid, the new sergeant growled at me through the thick threa cristaling smoke of his cigar. My first impressions of the character were one of trust and one of dress sense, which in both cases he had none of.I left the police institutionalize at about 10.30pm and took a back alley way of life back to my apartment on 7th and 4th track when I noticed that every street lamp went out the moment I walked past, it went out funny, I say to myself aloud and carry on walking by the lights which still went out every time I walked past them. I had only experienced this once before in my lifetime but I was as usual under the enamor of my favourite tipple at the time, Thankfully today I was sober. Then suddenly I heard a cry, a loud screeching go a few hundred metres away dead ahead of me, I knew this alleyway well I used it every day. There was no way anyone could be attacked down this alleyway, but then again the excitement of the next few hours as the clock strikes twelve do me very apprehensive, so I ran down the alleyway to find out what had go oned.I ran for about two minutes then I tripped over a large object on the floor I looked around and I found a woman on the floor unconscious and bleeding heavily so I straightway called an ambulance to help come and pick her up. Buy the time they arrived she was dead. No one knew who was there on site could understand her cause of death, No impact wounds on the head or body which could have caused the blood, No gunshot on her body, nothing. This got me even more worried. I got home about two hours later, the shock of see someone in that condition made me sick. Who or what as the case could be did this to such an innocent person. When I got into my bashroom I fell onto my bed and slept, as I was not in the party mood after this little fiasco.I woke up several times in the night as the partying kept me awake for hours at a time then before I knew it my alarm woke me up at about 7.30am before I got urbane I wrote a list of what I could do to help the poor ladies family. I finished my list had a wash and got changed I then sit down for breakfast I sat watching the holoscreen to see if the killings of last night had been better or worse than last time. The reporter informed me that the killings were ten times as bad as last time and that you should avoid going out at all costs. Unfortunately my time had come to diverge the warm comfort of my home and headed downtown to my office on 12th and 9th.I left my apartment with caution, as you dont quite know what is going to happen at this time of year. As I left the tatty main door to the block I saw all of the wonderful displays that all of the children had made for the city up in flames. They looked like old torn clothes rather than wonderful display of affection to the community. It looked like a scene from an old space movie where only the star was left after they destroyed the planet. The city even had the red glow of the fires that were here and their, as the fire robots tested to extinguish them
