Anna holds David’s hand and they both teleport to her apartment. He cannot believe that he is here with her. She hesitatingly looks at him and finds him staring at her, which is a huge blow to her confidence. She being an introvert her whole life speaks out to him in a low voice, “David...right? You… can...sleep in that room.”

She points to the room. David looks at the door and nods saying nothing. The initial nervousness between them is adorable. He starts moving towards the room when she notices something and suddenly calls out from behind, “Oh shit, your shoulder...it’s bleeding...there’s a first aid kit in the bath...patch yourself up. In the meantime, I’ll arrange for something to eat. I’ll be waiting at the table over there.”

Once again he just nods in return which somewhat annoys her, “Uff! What’s with him not replying and just nodding?” she says to herself. He goes to the room and looks inside the wardrobe, he sees some shirts and trousers and then heads into the bath to take a shower and patch his shoulder wound.

After showering he wears the trousers and starts applying some antiseptic on his wound, “Doesn’t hurt much...just a scratch that’s all! Now for the hard part.” he says to himself.

He needs to dress the cut, which is impossible to do with just one hand. David being a lone wolf all his life doesn’t really ask for help and decides to do it on his own which takes a lot of time. Outside, Anna waits for him patiently. Looking at the burgers that have already arrived, she takes in their aroma occasionally and tells herself, “Any moment, he’ll come out, and then I can eat!” but it’s been a while and David hasn’t come out.

Waiting for long her patience runs out and she gets up from the chair. She knocks on the door, “David, Is everything alright? It’s been a while.” David freaks out hearing her and says, “Yeah...I’ll be out in a few seconds!” sensing the impatience in her voice, he accepts defeat and leaves the cut undressed.

Keeping the antiseptic and bandage inside the first aid box, he takes a white-colored shirt from the wardrobe and wears it. He opens the door and finds her waiting for him outside, he glances at her and then looks elsewhere, acting more and more awkwardly.

Anna moves to the dinner table and he follows her. As she sits down on her chair and hands out a burger to him, he takes the burger from her nervously. She takes note of his awkwardness but says nothing. They both start to eat and she asks him some general questions.

David replies to each of them but never asks Anna anything in return, which frustrates her even more. “It is nearly impossible for me to get him to talk. Ugh! I hate this!” she says to herself.

After eating his burger, David gets up and starts moving towards his room. Anna calls out from behind once again, “Hey! You didn’t dress your cut properly, the blood is still pouring out!” he turns around and looks at her, his eyes are full of embarrassment. “I...I couldn’t do it, the cut was hard to reach.” he replied.

Anna smiles at him and says, “You should’ve asked for my help, we are a team from now on. Let’s build some trust between us.” he nods and she follows him to his room. He takes off his shirt and she takes the first aid kit from the bath.

He sits on the bed and Anna starts dressing his cut. After she is done she keeps the first aid box back inside the bath and just when she is about to leave David says, “Anna...thank you!” she looks at him, smiles, and then leaves.

David lays down on the bed and closes his eyes. Her image still stuck in his mind, she was glistening in beauty and he was looking at her with a heart full of desire, a heart full of wanting. But she was unreachable, even if she was with him now. She still wasn’t what she was to him in some other universe.

Issac and Bill enter the safe house which was marked by the Overseer. The house is quite old and doesn’t have any fancy features found in modern houses. There is a refrigerator that Issac opens, while Bill turns on the air conditioner and Television.

Looking inside Issac shouts, “Holy Shit! They still make you, let me taste you!” Bill looks at him and asks, “What’s wrong?” to which Issac replies, “Everything was wrong before, but now it’ll all be fine!”

He takes a bottle of Hawk’s Beer and drinks it all in one gulp. “Fuck me! The taste is still the same, I mean I traveled to a different universe, and still...the taste, the smoothness, the scent...it’s the same as it was in my universe!”

Bill looks at him and gloats, “That beer tastes like horse piss though!” Issac disagrees and opens up another bottle, while Bill watches his favorite show.

He says to Issac, “You know why time travel sucks? Look at this, in my universe, Brian lost his son and the story became dark and sad. Now, look at this shit, here his son is alive and Brian is dead, the whole story is fucked up! Glad to see your beer still tastes the same, there were a billion chances the taste would’ve changed, guess no one is as lucky as you Issac!”

Issac starts laughing at this and they both start getting to know each other. Before Issac could sleep on the couch; the Overseer teleported to the safe house. He abruptly forms in front of Issac which startles him, “Fucking Hell! Knock the door...or ring the bell. I almost had a heart attack!” the Overseer ignores his comment and says, “Gentlemen, I need you to investigate something for me. It doesn’t have anything to do with stopping Reed, but it will interest you nonetheless!”

He looks at Bill and says, “It’s a matter of great importance, I know you have many unanswered questions which sometimes eat your soul Bill. But, those questions will be answered now. I know your mother and sister died in a house fire, you were pretty young at that time. Your mother married twice, her first husband died of cancer, and her second husband…well he just disappeared. Your mother hid a lockbox that contains something which will help you find out about him. I have this information, yet I don’t know the location of this lockbox.”

Hearing him, he stands up from the couch and says, “I don’t want to find out about my father, he can rot in hell. He left us alone and you want me to know about him. I don’t feel the need to waste my energy on knowing who he was.” the Overseer comes closer to him and hands him an old flash drive.

He looks at it and asks, “What’s in this old relic?” the Overseer replies, “Plug it in and see for yourself, and yeah I know you will go on to find out about your father, that is why Issac is here with you. His detective skills will help you discover the secrets of your existence!” saying his cryptic words the Overseer vanishes leaving them both with the flash drive.

The next morning Reed heads to the facility where the robbery took place to assess the situation. He looks at his security staff with anger and says, “Worthless pieces of shit, each and every one of you. There was a reason why this facility was made.”

“It was to keep top-secret projects hidden from everyone in the city, the press, my mom, and the staff at MSAT. The stolen item is worth more than all of you. I should fucking kill everyone right now!”

Suddenly, Jane comes to him and whispers something in his ears. He takes a deep breath and follows her. A man with a scar on his right cheek looks at Reed and smiles when he sees him approaching. Reed smiles at him too and says, “Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes Dorian! Look at this mess, you know why you were called here right? Investigate this site and find every small detail, then tell me how it happened, and most importantly get a trail of them if you can. I want them found!”

Hearing the desperation in Reed’s voice Dorian looks at him with a face full of confidence and says, “It will be alright Reed…I’ll have Simon look after the combat lab while I am investigating this mess. I hope you won’t mind if things get a little bloody!”

Reed casually says, “Of course not, you have complete freedom to do what you want. In return I want results! Keep me posted with what you find out. Good luck!” saying this he leaves the facility with Jane and Dorian proceeds with his investigation.

He looks around the room where the device was kept and tries to find a clue of any kind. He looks at the computer screen and sees a document open. Reading the document he starts to think, “Even the guys who stole it didn’t know what the device was for, maybe they were hired to do it.”

He moves to the corridor and looks at the malfunctioning cameras, he keeps moving ahead and finds the broken window. He stops and says, “I need a guard on the second floor, send someone who was chasing the perps.” he then leans forward and looks down on the ground. He turns around and sees the guard who has just arrived, without any pause he asks him, “You saw them jump from the window, what were they wearing and how did they break this window?”

The guard tells him that the robbers wore black skin-tight suits, the ones worn by stealth and infiltration teams. He also tells him that one of them stunned the guards who were chasing and the other one used his sonic gun to destroy the window to jump out.

Dorian sits down facing the window and starts to think, “Alright they were wearing skin-tight stealth suits which aren’t known to have any protection against plasma or sharp objects, stealth suits are made this way so that it’s easy for the person wearing them to do ridiculous aerobics and fit easily through vents and tight spaces. I just need a shred of evidence here to go on, a torn part of the suit or something else.”

He gets up and once again goes to the window. He starts looking at the edges of the shattered window glass. Carefully looking at each sharp edge, he finds a hint of red on the clear transparent glass.

His eyes widen with excitement and he says, “Well, well, well, looks like someone got cut and left their DNA all over this edge.” He takes out a strange device and scans the dried blood, the device beeps when the scan is complete and displays the name of the person the blood belongs to.

When Dorian reads the name he narrows his eyes and says, “What the fuck? David? This doesn’t make any sense!” concluding his investigation he leaves the facility and contacts Reed.

Reed picks up his call and in a serious tone, Dorian says, “Reed...I found some dried blood on a sharp edge of the broken window and you won’t believe who the blood belongs to...It’s Hunter...our Hunter. You said he was missing after he was sent to P: 210…I don’t know what’s going on here, but if Hunter is behind this-”

Reed cuts him off and says, “Hunter?! You have got to be kidding me...I don’t care what you do to him. Just get me the device back, if you have to kill him in the process do not hesitate. What a fucking mess this whole situation is!”

Dorian cuts the call and says in a grim voice, “Understood!” After giving him orders Reed starts to wonder if the Overseer knew about the robbery and if he did; why he didn’t warn Reed.

He couldn’t believe that Hunter was behind the robbery, and he was scared if he knew more about his plans. “I need to ask him if he knew, the next time he shows up I’ll do and I won’t settle for anything less than a complete explanation.”

Jane enters his office and says, “Sir, the mayor is here with his staff. He says he’ll hand over the land to you in front of the press, to show them how much he trusts and values you.” hearing her he smirks and says, “Finally, some bloody good news today!”
