David is missing! Detective David Neal of the CPD 3rd precinct has been abducted again. Some of his fellow officers has been slain by the same abductors. Somehow maybe the police department has been infiltrated- by the infamous Red Pack, a terrible group of assassins and murderers. One of the first murders David encountered was terrible. Blood and pieces of human flesh were everywhere. The arms and legs of the corpse or what was left of its arms and legs were shredded like they had been put through a paper shredder. Even the bones had been shredded with the bone marrow showing. The only thing still intact was the corpse's head. Doctor Davenport the medical examiner and coroner is maybe the only one who knows the truth about who the real murderer or murderers are-human or something else. Neither many in the police department, the FBI, or anyone else can stop the horrific murders from going on or stop the Red Pack from its terrible rampages in that great city Chicago Illinois. The only one who could, is David Neal, and now he's gone missing-or has he?
