The
Phantom Detectives is a vigilante covert investigative unit. The main job is to
locate serial killers, and rescue victims when possible.
Emily
Stone had once been a sheriff’s deputy in Indiana. In a town where her parents
were murdered when she was 12 years old. She had been sent to live with her
uncle in California, but when she grew up returned to Indiana and joined the
police, where she wanted to do good for people. But being the only woman police
officer she was constantly harassed by her male counterparts. She was targeted
by a pair of police serial rapists and killers, and was almost one of their
victims. After the court hearing, she was forced to resign due to bad feelings
among the force towards her. Returning to California, she inherited her uncle’s
estate and fortune after his death, and set up her vigilante network, the
phantom detectives. She is small, blond headed, dark eyes, and tough. She
carries a Glock and small beratta in side and ankle holsters, and a knife in a
special pocket. She can box and use her feet in a fight, as well.
Rick
Lopez is her partner and lover. He has dark handsome features, and was an ex
police officer and detective. He resigned to come to work for her.

has his own shop, but does work for Rick when needed.
