## Gordon's First Day

This story is set before *The Butcher* (story) and follows Gordon's first "Adventure-Mystery". It is also the first story of *Detective Gordon Volume Two*, which does not exist yet. This page will be updated when that book releases.

## The Butcher

*The Butcher* is Gordon's first meddling with the supernatural.

At first, Gordon is called in by Terry to investigate this man who has supposedly been murdering people in a neighbourhood for 14 years. This man is only known as The Butcher. The killer is totally fine with going to jail, so Gordon naturally becomes suspicious.

Turns out The Butcher had been killing random people who would purchase meat from his store, killed them and extracted their organs for some reason. He either sold and kept them, or even turned some into spare meat for his shop. The organs he kept were used to bring back The Butcher's dead brother back to life.

And so, a Frankenstein-like creature roams around the city with a chainsaw killing civilians with the sole purpose of freeing his brother from prison to be able to live a life with him. Gordon grabs his chainsaw and splits him in half, getting rid of him for good... or so he thought.

## Blood Pact

Gordon keeps receiving weird mail telling him to go to Maranax Road 666 without any specific reason. Gordon thinks he has another adventure-mystery on his hands, so he and Terry head towards this place, which appears to be an old house. Here, Gordon finds a blank page inside a letter dedicated towards him, however he finds out that he must use his own blood to read the letter. Upon doing this, the letter says that Count Dracula himself has invited the detective to his annual "human show" in his Rumanian castle.

In the castle, Gordon fails to escape within 24 hours, which turns him into a vampire. The only way to get rid of this curse is to kill Dracula, however due to a blood pact signed centuries ago, the Count's subjects are unable to kill him.

Gordon eventually manages a way to kill Dracula and escapes.

## A Midsummer Nightmare

Terry informs Gordon about an ancient tomb opening up to reveal a lot of Demon Zombies controlled by a mysterious entity. Upon heading there, Gordon discovers two things: That the zombies can only die by burning to death, and that the tomb appears to acyually be quite recent; only being built in the late 16th century.
