[Trakadon]

Roland walked through the rubble of the destroyed apartment building. There was still a few areas where the fire still burned and as he walked near them the flames seemed to dance with a furry that made it look like the flames themselves were angry but soon died down when he was no longer near them.

Roland stopped as he stepped on a small charred teddy bear. He removed his foot and knelt down to pick it up. With a gentle grace he brushed some ash from its face. His heart was heavy with grief but his face showed no emotion.

"Sir? This area hasn't been cleared yet."

Roland turned his head slightly to see another police officer behind him.

"Its fine. The little remaining fires will die out soon and the toxins in this area would have been destroyed by the fires so there is nothing to worry about." He slowly stood up and placed the teddy bear in the other officers hands before walking deeper into the rubble.

It made no sense to him why there'd be two different types of explosions. And the pattern of the first explosion had the signature of the Fire Skulls, but they would never attack innocent people out of the blue like this. And then there was the toxins... Roland knew the Toxic skulls have been known to unleash toxic warfare in populated areas in the New district but never so close to their own territory. Not to mention that this type of toxin was to fast acting and died nearly without a trace it seemed. Roland knew it was a far to advanced of a toxin to be that of the Toxic skulls and not to mention why two gangs would seem to coordinate such an act of malice.

No... Something did not sit well with this whole thing.
