Jurgen is in a car driving with a cigar on his mouth. he turns on the radio.
"last night there was a shooting in a storage warehouse in which many individuals died. is believed that said storage was used to guard illegal products. yesterday there was another shooting in a restaurant. the war among the Gangs of the city is becoming more and more brutal each day.... is believed that this is going to be the most violent year in Heroic City in the last two thousand years."
the voice in the radio belongs to Walter.
Jurgen keeps driving on the dark night. he feels a strange feeling. he remembers the last time he talked with Madame Twisted Mind. he needs to tell to Fumiko the truth about his actual identity beyond the one that he took. Jurgen keeps smoking without stopping.
"we are living in a strange period in which the criminals are killing each other and the Heroes are trying to stop all this killing. this is the first time that is heard of Heroes trying to save criminals from more criminals. the rate of death this year is reaching a really dangerous level in which I asked my self what are the politicians doing? what are you doing Congressman Mark C. Miller Jr. to protect our city? and stop the chaos."
Walter's voice sounds energetic.
Jurgen turns the radio off. he puts his cigar on his mouth. Jurgen looks at his left while driving. he blinks. a car crashes on the driving side of Jurgen's car. Jurgen opens his eyes. outside is raining and he is getting wet. someone gets out from the other car and that person runs away. Jurgen tries to get out of the car and he accidentally turns on the radio.
"there had been cases in which cops had been targeted by criminals. things are getting out of control and I ask to my self who is going to save the city?"
Jurgen turns the radio off. he opens the door of the passenger seat. he gets out of there. he drags himself far from the crash to safety as he awaits for help.
fourteen hours ago in a bar...
Akio Miyagawa is alone in the bar practicing the guitar before it is open. Daisuke knocks on the backdoor. he enters and he walks in front of his brother. AKio is thinking about a lie but he is too lazy to think about a good lie.
"hello black sheep. why the hell haven't you call your own brother? do you really have to be a problem for Arturo? I am going to tell our parents that you are being annoying with him and you know our parents don't like it when you are annoying him."
"bro let me be. I want to be a musician and the only guy who understands me is Arturo."
"yeah he understands you but that doesn't mean that you have to live free on his home. this is not the first time you tried to take advantage of him."
"I am like a brother to the dude, you can't blame me for that."
Daisuke asks to his brother when is he going to forget that bullshit about being a musician. Daisuke asks him to be part of the family business. Akio tells to his brother that he is no killer and that he is going to spend the rest of his life doing what he loves. Akio doesn't care if he loses any privilege that he had as a Miyagawa.
Daisuke accepts the decision that his brother had taken. he gives some money to his brother and then he hugs him. Daisuke asks to Akio to leave Arturo's place. Daisuke explains to his brother that his friend has a crush on a cop lady that he is trying to court.
Akio is open-mouthed unable to believe that Mr. Cold as Ice is having a crush on someone or that he is actually interested in having a relationship that can last more than a night. Daisuke is giving him the details. Akio is listening to the whole gossip like if he were listening to some top secret information hidden by the Government.
they start to talk about their life in the last few years that they haven't seen each other. they grow up together. the three of them had been together since they were kids. Arturo is like a brother to the Miyagawa brothers. there are things about Arturo that only the family of those two knows and the same goes for Arturo about their family.
"so it is her? the girl that was his friend and first love before we met him? wow isn't that destiny? there is no doubt that they are meant to be."
"yes little bro. the only problem is that idiot. he was always the player type.... you know what I mean.... he never tried to do anything and there were always girls after him so this is his first time actually trying to win the heart of a lady."
"he is not creepy....right? is he? please tell me that he actually knows the meaning of courtship. he can't be doing something stupid..."
"he is trying..... he is really trying and it is kind of sweet to see him in a different mood trying to have a normal life out of the hellish life that was given to him."
later on the graveyard on the south...
Domingo Plazas is in front of a tombstone. he puts a flower on it. someone approaches him. that person is wearing a black suit. he is wearing a black mask and a hat to cover his whole face. he is also wearing black gloves and sunglasses.
Domingo gives some documents to that strange man. that man leaves and Domingo stays to pay respects to the dead. there is sorrow and preoccupation on his face. there is a lot of work that he has and things are getting out of control. this is the bloodiest war in which he has taken part.
Domingo Plazas loves to control things and he hates when he has no control. he is not as powerful or influential as the Bellucci Family. but what makes him a terrifying Mafioso is his intellect.
the only reason why he haven't build an empire as powerful as Alberto Esposito or the Bellucci Family is simple. Domingo is really intelligent but he loses his ability to think when he lets his anger take control of him. for that reason he is always know for his attacks of rage and not his brains.
another fact for which Domingo Plazas is well known is for the brutality with which he punishes those who get on his way or go against him. there are many whom had become part of the legends of Domingo Plazas 'the Devil of Heroic City' or 'the Devil of the Mafia.'
Chiko Suzuki walks behind of him holding a revolver. Domingo Plazas asks him if he came to ask for his head. Chiko tells him that he didn't came for his head but for him to pay his debt to him for saving his life. Domingo laughs thinking that he has mishear something. he sees that Chiko is serious and he starts to have doubts.
"tell me how am I supposed to pay the debt of my life."
"when I saved your life I told you this 'I am going to come one day for a favor in which you might lend me the same life that I had saved today' well that day has come."
"yeah you are as romantic and sane as I remember you. now what is that favor."
"Lucky-Hit is coming back. there is going to be blood on the streets soon, the blood of those who are guilty and the innocent would be blend together."
Domingo is speechless. he swallows saliva fully aware of the kind of hell that is coming. he sits on the ground thinking in the battle that he is being force to fight. he knows his limits and a monster like Lucky-Hit can destroy him in thousands of pieces. Chiko wants him to take part on the battle against that infamous former Hero turned Villain.
normal humans had forgotten about Lucky-Hit because most of his acts of treason were kept secret to normal humans but in the world of the Heroes, Villains and Criminals there is no person who doesn't know who Lucky-Hit is. Domingo doesn't have a single power to protect himself against that kind of beast.
Chiko is wearing his Gluttonyc Justice outfit from his golden days. Domingo just notice and he looks with admiration at the outfit of one of the greatest Heroes on his times. Chiko tells him that he is going to communicate with him once he knows the date and place in which Lucky-Hit is planning to make official his return.
Chiko gives a business card to Domingo before leaving. Domingo stands up trembling with fear. he receives a call and he answers forcing a smile. the calls ends and he leaves thinking in his past and future.
at the same time on the Hero Hospital.....
Biyu is in the hospital sleeping. in her last battle she took a lot of damage. the only one who knows now about her battle is Ray of Hope (the raid was done in secret so is obvious that the only person who actually knows about her being in the hospital was someone who took part on the raid.)
Biyu is trembling in her sleep. Jonathan Miller is looking at her waiting for her to wake up. he was so worry that she might be in danger that he decided to stay closed to her in the hospital. he is now thinking of what is he going to say to Fumiko if she knows about what happen. he is really nervous.
Biyu opens her eyes and she asks for water. Jonathan gets out of the room and comes back with a bottle of water. he gives it to her. Biyu is drinking slowly. Jonathan looks at her thinking about his father and the things he has to do.
"I am sorry. you are right about me not being a good boyfriend. I commit so many mistakes that I tried to masked as love.... I know that I was bad for her but you can't force the heart to stop loving nor you can expect for someone to love in a healthy way when that person had never before experience a healthy kind of love."
said Jonathan with teary eyes.
Biyu looks at him for a moment. she wants to say so many things but she doesn't have the time nor energy to talk to a man who asks for pity instead of trying to fix the things that he did wrong. Biyu knows what kind of relationship they had and she believes that he is too rotten to fix now.
Jonathan kneels in front of her bed and he starts to cry. he supplicates for her help to fix a relationship that ended long time ago. they heard footsteps. Jonathan stands up and he cleans his tears. Mark C. Miller Jr gets inside of the room.
"son what are you doing in here? don't you have better things to do?"
said Mark C Miller Jr feeling disappointment to have an useless son.
Biyu now understand why Jonathan is so broken? if that is his father, the man who is supposed to guide him. then what can she expect from the product of a man so cold and heartless as Mark C Miller Jr.
"yes father, I am leaving right now."
said Jonathan looking with anger at his father.
right now at the zone of the accident...
Jurgen opens his eyes. he is looking at the rain. he spits blood. he smiles as he looks at the dark sky and he feels every drop of water touching his body. he tries to ask for help but his voice is too weak.
he hears some footsteps. Jurgen can barely see the silhouette of the person who is standing in front of him. Night-Sight is taking a look at Jurgen's wounds. Night-Sight loves to kill criminals or take them to the hospital at night but another of his jobs is to help cops who are wounded. Night-Sight carries Jurgen on his shoulder. he leaves staying away from hospitals.
"why are you helping me? aren't you a violent man who kills criminals at night. so what are you doing trying to save the life of this fake detective?"
"am I violent? yes, sometimes I scare my self when I see of what I am capable. am I going to let a cop die, fake or not? no, I am also a man with a code of honor."
"I stole the identity of someone and since then I had been pretending to be him. he is dead and here I am dreaming of a happy end, dreaming of a happy ever after."
"you shouldn't talk about your personal matters with a Vigilante and is much worst when you are his rival for the love of an angel. keep dangerous secrets to yourself, please."
Night-Sight keeps walking for a few hours until he is in front of Fumiko's home. he knocks on the door a few times. Fumiko opens the door. Night-Sight enters with Jurgen barely conscious. Night-Sight asks her to take care of him. he knows that Jurgen is special for her and if she has feelings for him then is not his place to judge if Jurgen is evil or not.
Night-Sight asks for a cup of tea. Fumiko goes to the kitchen while Night-Sight is looking around of the house. she asks him for how long he is planning to stay. Night-Sight is quiet. there are things that are better to not be told. he swallows saliva while he takes care of Jurgen's wounds.
"what happened to him?"
Night-Sight talks about his day and how he found Jurgen next to his car. Night-Sight asks her if she is willing to give him a second change to be with her. he promised to not leave this time if she accepts his love. Fumiko is quiet while she prepares the tea.
"I am not sure.... our time was ages ago. I am not sure if I can love you like that ever again."
said Fumiko with sadness looking down.
"if you can't, then you can't. I can't force you to anything."
said Night-Sight with a forced smile.
he drinks the tea in silence and then he leaves.
