The Phantom attempted to interrogate one guy but heard something jumped away just in time as gunshots started blazing with the cover of gunfire the two on the ground were rescued leaving a shaken Ferdinand and the Phantom who walked up to him “what the hell is going on?”

Hank had brought Ferdinand over to his bunker, “woah” was all Ferdinand could say as he stared around at the place soon his eyes landed on Hank’s computer setup. “Oh my god!” Ferdinand exclaimed as he rushed towards the mc muttering words non stop as he made himself comfortable and began feeling the computer.

“Ahem!” Hank coughed grabbing Ferdinand attention, who turned around to look at him with an embarrassed expression on his face. “Sorry about that, I… kind of well, loose myself when it comes to computers and when I saw the specs on… I’ll shut up now”.

“What happened back there? Who were those guys and why were they shooting at you?” Hank wasted no more time and got straight into it. “So you remember the robbers the robbers that came to town yeah?” Ferdinand began to explain.

“You mean the ones I told you to leave to the police”, Hank interrupted him with a flat tone.

“Well, I tried that but then curious, so I started digging. Looking through old robberies I realized something suspicious…” Ferdinand looked to Hank’s face and seeing he had his approval turned around and began working on the pc like it was his all along. Hank remained silent as he moved closer standing behind Ferdinand to look at the screen.

“So, look at this, whenever they enter a bank, cameras go out and in at most ten minutes they’re out. I thought that was weird because I’m sure they need more time for the safe. So, I thought maybe they had a hacker but investigators ruled that out not being able to find any foreign code in the systems”

“But I decided to try my luck investigating into their most recent heist I discovered a code, it was deleting itself but I managed to get a trace of it and here’s the thing based on this code the only way it could enter the system was from inside the building.” With the last sentence Ferdinand turned to look at Hank who had a confused look on his face.

“so you’re saying they have an inside man?” Hank questioned, “no, with the number of banks they’ve robbed that’s unfortunately not an option. All hope is n lost though as I worked on the code and figured it out, I know who made it”

“I’m guessing one of the guys chasing after was the guy” “actually it was the guy whose hat you knocked off” Ferdinand spoke before proceeding to type something on the computer. An image of the guy was pulled up alongside his name ‘Kwesi Oteng’.

“Says here that he was a computing science major at KNUST but he dropped out a year ago. Woah that’s interesting”

“What is?”

“He is not the only one to disappear, it says here that his whole family just up and disappeared.”

“Well, that answers one question”

“What question?”

“He isn’t just working with a gang; the gang is his family”

The words sunk in causing Ferdinand to gasp before speaking up, “okay I’ve got to tell the police” Ferdinand reached out for his phone but was stopped by Hank, “don’t”. Ferdinand turned to Hank with a questioning look, “but you said-“ Hank cut him off “forget what I said we’re taking these guys down ourselves, I’m a superhero remember” Hank uttered the last sentence with a smirk that caused Ferdinand to grin as well.

“Okay now how do we find them?” Hank asked, “well based on this code, they have to be onsite to apply it to the system” As Ferdinand spoke his fingers flew over the keyboard and in mere seconds a video was pulled up.

The video showed Alex Oteng, Kwesi’s father alongside Kwesi himself entering the Bank but dressed up as though they were technicians. “so that’s how they get in and place the code” Ferdinand muttered to himself after watching the video, “how may banks did they go for in each city?” Hank asked a question after staring at the screen for another minute.

“Uhm three, sometimes four” “how many banks have they hit in this city?” “two”

“Okay Ferdinand, I need you to find out which Banks those two have been two apart from the two they’ve already robbed”

“Got it”

In an apartment Alex was pissed of about what had happened earlier on, “who the hell was that?” “the Hacker” his daughter responded to him. “I’m not talking about that guy, I’m talking about the freak in the cloak!” His voice getting louder as he remembered the cloaked man.

“The phantom” Kwesi who was seated before his laptop spoke up, “apparently he is like some sort of superhero. He’s been here since last year.”

“Last year? Then why am I only hearing about him now?” Alex question directing his anger for the phantom at his son. “He only started getting popular this year. So what do we do now?” The family turned to face Alex after hearing that. “we continue with the plan, with this last one we will be set for the rest of our lives and no freak in Cloak is going to stop that” Alex clocked his gun as he finished.
