The following story is set in an alternative world or universe. It's similar to Earth but still its own thing.
Santino Santargo was 20 years old and had accomplished his first acting gig. Being an actor is something he had dreamt of since high school. He wanted to be in movies, for now ha had settled for a TV commercial. He only had a few lines but was paid big bucks for his few seconds of screen time. He even got to wear his own clothes. He wore a black button-front shirt with blue trim and black cargo pants. Santargo was 5'6 in height with a shaved head and dark tan skin.
After he was paid five grand for his small role he decided to call home and report the good news to his mom and dad who were very happy for him. They were ready to pick him up but he wanted a nice night in the city spending some of his cash. His mom said, "Be careful and don't spend your money in all in one place," After hanging up he went to a monorail station to wait for the monorail to take him to Wolf Stadium. Wolf Stadium was a baseball park where a professional baseball team called the Kallamar Wolves played. Santargo was native to Kallamar. It was the largest city in the county. It wasn't a major metropolis but still, a decent-sized city with a population of 346,824. Every city in the county had its fair share of crime but Kallamar had the most. It wasn't considered a very dangerous city but that didn't take away the fact that it still had terrible crime.
If there was one thing Kallamar had that other cities didn't it was a vigilante. Since 2037 a mysterious vigilante known as El Verdugo had been stalking the streets at night. From 2037 to present-day 2053 this mysterious man or woman had taken out several gangs and solo criminals. Some of them human others of alien origin. Since 2051 humans had been living amongst aliens after they were given freedom to come to Huma, ( the homeworld of the human race) in 2050 to live and enjoy a new life after so long of secretly visiting the planet. Overwhelming evidence of U.F.O. sightings proved their existence. Several governments that allowed this offer of residence made it clear that if any alien violated any laws they too would face justice just like humans do.
Humans in a sense are aliens themselves and probably the most powerful and relentless species in the universe. No other civilization has colonized more planets than Humans.
Most Aliens were trying to live a decent life but a number of them had become criminals either leading a mafia empire or street gang. Others simply joined gangs that had humans as leaders. It was unknown how the vigilante survived such powerful foes but he or she did. El Verdugo was Spanish for for " The Executioner".
Anyway, Santino loved baseball. It was the only sport he watched. When he got to the stadium he saw it was packed with fans as the Wolves were taking on the Los Sogontez Sharks.
Both teams had a huge rivalry mainly with fans. Heated arguments and fistfights often broke out so security was on tactical alert for anything. The Sharks were an 8 time championship team while the Wolves only had 3. Los Sogontez was about a half- hour away and much larger than Kallamar. Its population was 3,898,747. It was in the next county and like Kallamar was the county seat. Santargo hoped one day he'd live in Los Sogontez as a famous actor even though he didn't really like the city all that much mainly because the Sharks which he hated mainly their obnoxious fans. Los Sogontez was a much more dangerous city than Kallamar and that did make Santino nervous. Too bad L.S. didn't have a vigilante like El Verdugo.
Besides Aliens, Cryptids were another faction of individuals who lived among humans openly and were protected by laws, unlike the past when they were constant victims of hate crime including being put to death. People fear what they don't understand. Because of this many Cryptids either lived in total seclusion or kept their mutant identity secret. Cryptids were half-human and half-creatures. Sometimes they were called mutants or even meta humans. Werewolves, Lycans and Vampires were Cryptids.
