The Dark Knight's men were surprised when suddenly police patrol cars appeared on site. This was not looking good for them. They could see that the police patrol cars were escorting the people who rescued Matt Carter or in other words, they were protecting him.
They had people in the police departments but they were sure that the Dark Lord didn't mobilize them for this mission. The leader ordered his comrades to retreat. There's no way they could catch Matt Carter, especially now, he was surrounded by police officers.
"Dark Lord won't be happy to hear this." One member showed his disapproval.
"We are too late. We are outnumbered this time. We might get caught. It will complicate things if the Dark Knight members will be caught by these policemen. We are not sure if they are one of us or not." The leader explained to them.
"We have Snake. He can protect us. If we return now then the Dark Lord will punish us. We failed the mission," he insisted.
