The last two periods of school, the school permits the students to go to their clubs, this is for them to concentrate on after class activities such as work or catching up with classes. Outside the main building there is an old building that has only two rooms, one is for the janitor’s belongings and the other is for the SIS.
“Alright club, here is evidence that something supernatural happened last night."Alejandro puts his hand on the board where there are pictures of a crime scene.
“Wow, interesting...” Marjorie says as she applauds sitting next to Raul who is typing in his computer.
Inside the club room there are hundreds of pictures hanging on the walls, with some of them being UFOs, BigFoot, and the Loch Ness Monster.
“Hey Raul, please pay attention, this is important...”
Alejandro says with his hands together, Raul sighs; “Fine...”
“Very well, last night, another man was attacked at Rio Grande City...”
“So...”
“The victim didn’t have any signs of strangling or other symptoms, what makes it unique is that the man had a hole on his neck...”
“Wow, that’s scary...” Marjorie puts her hand on her mouth.
“My theory is that it was something else, I might say a Vampire or something like that"
"I think the killer just likes to make holes in the victims necks, nothing supernatural about that…" Raul makes fun of Alejandro.
"Don't be stupid, its obvious that it was something not ordinary and I am going to investigate, who's with me…"
"Sorry, I have to wake up early tomorrow for cheerleader practice" Marjorie apologizes.
"And I am not interested, good luck finding something yourself…" Raul comments as he closes his laptop.
Both of them leave the room, Alejandro sighs disappointed, Kasumi enters the room and asks; "Where are the others?"
"They just left…"
"I see, Alejandro, you're not planning on going alone again do you?"
"No, you know, I do wish to do club activities like any other, but I sometimes think that wish will never come true...” Alejandro says with a fake smile as he feels depressed.
“Then why do you keep this club, you know you could join any other, why are you pushing so hard to have it...”
“Because I want to know the truth, teacher, something strange happened five years ago, my friend disappeared, and no one remembers him...His name was Uriel...”
Alejandro puts on a desperate expression.
Kasumi looks at Alejandro and replies; “I know, you told me about him, and his family....after the catastrophe, no one remembered him right...”
“That’s right, I formed this club because I thought someone would remember, at first everyone joined because they were interested....” Alejandro puts his hands on the table and looks down with tears in his eyes.
“But something happened and everyone suddenly lost interest, and they began calling me a faker...”
Kasumi approaches him and tries to cheer him up,suddenly Alejandro turns around with a confident expression:
“But there is no time to be sad about this, my grandpa always told me to be persistent, no matter the obstacles I face, one day I’ll find the truth...”

“That’s right, and I will support you, as long as you don’t do anything dangerous okay...”
Kasumi smiles at Alejandro, Alejandro looks at the clock; “It’s almost time for my shift...I must hurry...” Alejandro grabs his bags and runs to the door.
“See you tomorrow teacher...”
Alejandro runs to the door, Kasumi waves at him with a smile. Kasumi takes out a photo of the size of her palm and smiles:
“The truth is...I do know the people you are talking about, but it’s too dangerous for you to learn the truth.... I swear to your grandparents that I will protect you...”
As Alejandro runs to the entrance he passes next to a girl who is reading a book, the girl has brown skin, violet eyes and blonde hair. She looks at Alejandro and begins to say:
“Alejandro Sanchez, your curiosity can lead you to your doom!”
*************************************************************************
Downtown Sun City...
At a café located near the downtown area, Alejandro works part time as a waiter. He’s optimistic personality attracts many clients to the café making it one of Sun City’s most popular.
It’s a rather cold afternoon, as the clouds begin to cover the moon. People walk by the street wearing large coats, gloves and scarfs, as expected in the middle of January.
“Here you go ladies, three cappuccinos” Alejandro, who is wearing a waiter uniform smiles at them, the three ladies are Marjorie, Victoria and Angela.
Victoria Salazar is a 16 years old beautiful girl. She is a little taller, and has a well developed body. She has long red hair with a pony tail hanging on her right shoulder. She is considered one of the three "princess idols" in the High school. She has a very hyperactive personality.. She is a member of the student council like Marjorie as the secretary.
Angela Conte is a 16 years old girl. She has a thin body and has average height. She has long straight black hair and brown eyes. She still is very shy but that is what makes her attractive to the guys at school. She is considered one of "The princess idols" of the high school division, she is a member of the student council as the treasurer.
“Thank you Alejandro..” The girls say at the same time, Alejandro smiles and replies: “Sure thing...no problem...” Alejandro walks away, Victoria continues to speak:
“As I was saying...Jake wanted to go out with me...”
“Gyaah, and did you accept?”
“No, it takes more than being handsome..”
“Well, Alesiter is handsome and kind...but he is sometimes cold with me...” Marjorie says with a somber tone. Victoria smiles and says:
“Oh come on, you’re dating the hottest guy in school plus he is really smart and athletic, you’re so lucky...I wish I had someone like that...”
“I know but I don’t feel that he is the love of my life, I feel there was someone else...”
“I think that you should look for him... I mean it’s just my opinion....”
Angela says in a shy tone. Marjorie looks at Angela who drinks her coffee and replies; “You’re right...I will keep looking...” Alejandro sighs and thinks:
“If you only remember your true love Marjorie, Uriel would be sad....”
“My, oh my, are you feeling down Alejandro? Maybe I can cheer you up” Alejandro gets nervous as the man who is standing behind the bar says in a luxurious tone.

Alejandro begins to sweat and chuckles:
“No, that's fine Mr. Jairo, I was just thinking about my homework...”
Mr Jairo is a 30 year old man, he is a tall and muscular man with a black mustache. Even though he looks manly, he is very feminine, he likes to wear tight jeans with sleeveless shirts and a captain's hat. He likes to tease Alejandro whenever he works.
“Nonsense, tell me, which of the three you prefer...”
“No one, please let me get back to work boss...” Alejandro says with a red face as he goes to the kitchen, leaving Jairo chuckling.
After 30 minutes, the girls decide to leave, Angela has a car waiting for her, and Victoria decides to go with her since they both live in the same direction. Marjorie is checking her phone however...
“Yes...I understand father, Charles is currently busy...yes....I understand I'll wait...”
Marjorie hangs the phone and sighs, she is standing outside the shop, Jairo notices and makes a smirk.
“Hey Alejandro dear...would you be so kind as to walk that lady to her home...please, don't worry, I’ll close the shop...”
Alejandro gets nervous at first but he changes it to a smile as he says:
“Thank you boss, I’ll see you tomorrow...”
“Tomorrow at 5 pm, don’t forget...”
“I won’t” Alejandro opens the door of the shop and looks at Marjorie:
“Hey Marjorie, want me to walk you home?”
Marjorie smiles and moves her head up and down as a sign of agreement. Alejandro takes out his umbrella and both of them begin to walk together. Behind them, Aleister stands beneath a light and sees them.
Aleister chuckles as he says:
“So, you don’t like listening to my warnings...you’ll pay...”
(CCCCRRAASSHHH)
Aleister releases a strange aura that causes the lights of the street to blow up...
As they walk together, Alejandro and Marjorie are talking about school:
“Hey, I notice that you are really close to Ms. Miyazono...”
Alejandro blushes and begins to move strangely; “It’s not what you think, she’s like a sister to me, I’ve known her for many years and she has always been looking after me...”
“I see I just wanted to make you nervous...” Marjorie chuckles, Alejandro scratches his cheek nervously.
Marjorie and Alejandro have always been close, since their childhood.Marjorie trusts Alejandro that she feels comfortable speaking about Aleister. She sees him as a brother, however, it’s not the other way around....Alejandro does have a crush on Marjorie...
“So what are you doing this weekend?”
Alejandro asks hoping for her to answer “nothing”
“Well, I’m going with Aleister on a trip to Empire City, his dad wants us to see the final light show...” Marjorie replies with a smile.
“I see, well good for you...” Alejandro makes a fake smile as he is crying inside.
“You two are very close, is your relationship working?” Marjorie changes her expression, looks at the sky, Alejandro notices a worried face, Marjorie begins to speak:
“To tell you the truth, Aleister is a very jealous man, don’t get me wrong, he is a very kind person as well as his family, but I feel strange when I’m around him...”
Marjorie touches her chest where the heart is located.
“Strange like how?”
“It’s nothing really, thank you for walking me home, I’ll see you at school okay...”
Marjorie enters the mansion, Alejandro waves at her and begins to walk away thinking to himself; “What did she mean by that?”
Suddenly, a hand grabs his shoulder, Alejandro turns around and sees two large people identical to each other.
“Marcus, Claudius, what are you...”
(PUUUUMMM)
Marcus knocks him unconscious and carries him towards another destination without anyone noticing.
*************************************************************************
(PUM PUM PUM PUM)
In a back alley, two guys punch Alejandro continuously, Alejandro bleeds with every hit.
“That’s enough for you two, I don’t want him dead...”
Aleister appears from the shadows and sees Alejandro. Alejandro has a swollen eye and bruises in his face, he is bleeding from his nose and mouth.
“You see, I told you to stay away from Marjorie and you still had the nerve to walk her home, remember that she is mine...”
“Ha...ha....ha... you make me laugh Aleister, I can’t believe you don’t trust your own girlfriend.” Alejandro chuckles as he continues to speak:
“You think that she loves you but remember this, she will always love another guy...remember...Uriel....” Aleister gets furious and begins to punch him with force.
(PUM PUM PUM)
“You imbecile, I don’t know who that is but his name makes me furious, learn your place, you are weak and a loser...don’t forget....”
Aleister stops, he begins to leave with the two men. Alejandro is left lying on the ground with tears in his eyes thinking: “Damn it, why am I so weak...why?”
*************************************************************************
“I’m home...” Alejandro opens the door to his room but there is no one there, Alejandro walks slowly towards his room. He looks at his face that is all beaten and sighs. He goes to his emergency kit and begins to treat himself.
Alejandro lives in a single room apartment, he has a basic kitchen, one room and one bathroom. He lives near the downtown area, in one of the poorest regions of Sun City.
Alejandro sends a message to his sister asking;
Hey, sis, when can I go to Spain with you...
His sister replies:
I already told you that I am busy working...you must finish High school, you can come after that...Good luck…”
(CCRRAASSHHH)
Alejandro throws his phone to the wall, he lies in his bed thinking; “What good is it to finish High school, nobody expects anything from me anyway...”
Alejandro’s grandparents died in an accident four years ago. He never met his parents because they died one year after his birth. He has an older sister (Rebecca) that is 8 years older than him.She is in Spain working, and refuses to look after him. Alejandro is being taken care of by a neighbor, Mrs. Gutierrez, who often visits him to see how he is doing.
Alejandro eats some leftover food from yesterday, he looks around and sees that everything is dark.
“This is a pain, I’m going to my base…”
Alejandro decides to go to his base, located deep in the mountains. He comes out of his apartment and leaves a note that says:
“I’m going to my Base...be right back…”
