“I see, and what questions may I answer for you?” Scott asked.

“Why didn’t you call for backup?”

“We weren’t given enough time for backup to arrive after being summoned. We had to make do.”

“I understand however I am still not pleased. Now, do you know where the masked man is or where he came from?”

“I knew you would probably want to know something like that and the answer is I don’t know. I was lying on the ground with several broken bones and severe internal damage. He appeared, defeated the culprit and disappeared over the bridge.”

“I want to visit this bridge and perhaps inspect the body of the culprit.”

“Lou can take you to the bridge however the body is going to be a little harder.”

“How so?”

“We tossed his body into the canal.”

“Why?”

“I didn’t want to have to deal with all the paperwork the police were going to require me to fill out.”

“I thought it was to spare some random person from the sight of a beheaded man on a bridge.” I said.

“No, that was a lie.”

“So you decided to disrespect the dead because you were being lazy?” I asked, a little annoyed.

“Well when you put it like that it makes me sound like a deadbeat.”

“Anyways, I already heard the report from Lou about this whole scene and about how he has learned how to use his ability to travel through time but I would like to hear it from you as well.” Mordred interrupted.

“Of course. Lou would you go down and take Elysif to the pub down the street. I told her I would treat her to dinner but it seems like I am going to be talking with Mordred for a while. There’s enough for you both on the desk.” Scott said.

“Okay, sure.” I said before grabbing the money off the desk and heading down to Elysif’s place.

“Okay, where do you want me to begin?” Scott asked.

“Let’s start with something simple. Can Lou use his ability to stop my father from dying?’

“You sound like that fake masked man.”

“I will not force him, I just want to know if it can be done.”

“I don’t know. He said he can’t use his ability if it affects his current or past self. Since your father dying was the driving force behind making the Agency what it is today and he is now an agent. I would say no, but you can ask him yourself.”

“That was all I needed to hear. I was hoping that you would have said yes but I will ask him personally and see whether I can have some hope.”

“I am sorry. Would you like some tea?” Scott said standing up.

“That sounds wonderful. Would you like any help?”

“It would be much appreciated, and we can continue his chat.”

“Now, what is your official report?” she said grabbing the kettle, filling it with water, and setting it on the stove.

“Some women were murdered. Lou got captured and tortured for several weeks. Nothing happened during that time otherwise. Then Lou showed up here nearly nude and showed us how he could reform his limbs. He went to the future, came back, and we attempted to stop the changeling serial killer. We failed. Two more people were murdered. We were challenged by someone claiming to be the masked man. Fought him. Got our asses handed to us and the real masked man beheaded him. I was severely injured and everyone else left without a scratch.”

“That is rather vague.”

“It is my official report.” he said with a smug grin.
