☒ Alexander "Alex" O'Malice (22♂). Bad Detective

Alexander O'Malice. To his friends - although currently the number of those approached zero - Alex. Who just turned twenty two, was sitting in a lounge chair left by the previous tenants and smoking a cigarette.

You could have had a career as a model if not for an ugly birthmark on your forehead. Despite it, you still were quite handsome. The looks allowed you to have a confidence of a man who knew exactly what he wanted. Your handsome face was framed by a neat haircut and a strong jawline. Your eyes cold and stoic didn't betray your thoughts. You were doing quite well at the poker table thanks to them.

Dressed in your best - and only - suit you looked quite elegant. You had a good style and taste even though you couldn't really afford many things that matched it. Even the suit you were currently wearing was a result of an affair with an older widow who needed you dressed sharp to wear you on her arm. With broad shoulders and chest tapered down to a narrow waist you filled the jacket of the suit perfectly. Tailored trousers fit closely as well.

Still, all of that didn't really help your situation that much. You were chased out of your hometown by a jealous husband and the reason why you were wearing your best suit was simply that you had no suitcase and no time to pack! It was safest for it to be worn when you boarded the bus heading east. With the rest of your possessions in a black trash bag that you watched like a hawk until you got here.

Once more you looked around the room and cringed. It was lucky that you had a friend who had a friend so you could have this place with no up-front payment and no deposit. No upfront payment and no deposit didn't mean no payment though. You had a week to come up with the first month's rent or the next stop was a gutter.

[This path was outvoted. As such it's put on the back burner. If you like it though, feel free to give it a thumb, I might come back to it eventually]
