"The boy's body was destroyed tonight right under our noses," Hugo said with a straight face as he knew what was about to come and accepted his fate in the situation
"Incinerated to ashes, the perpetrators tried to delete the data as well but were not as successful in destroying the data as they expected-"
BAM!
Quill slammed his fist on the table, cutting Hugo's report flow.
"Are you messing with me, Hugo?!" Quill bellowed as veins started to pop from his temple as he frowned at the screen.
"You were responsible for delivering the body to me! YOU GAVE ME YOUR WORD GODDAMNIT!" Quill roared in rage and frustration as unknown guilt weighed him down.
'Couldn't even give him a proper funeral….fuck!' he was guilt struck.
Hugo expected this and calmly responds while sighing internally,
"Until 6 hours ago you did not even know the boy was one of yours. so don't give me that look as if you cared about him, It's your own guilt that is tripping you inside out that even you forgot his existence.
This case is more complicated and deep-rooted than either of us can predict and the perpetrators are keen on covering up their tracks, meaning all our lives may be in danger, Including our families
so I want you to get your shit together Quill."
Quill grits his teeth and then takes a seat back on his chair.
"What do you want from me Hugo, you know what I am doing and my Letter will arrive by morning. I'll come over to your office and discuss it there." Quill said with a cold tone.
"Alright, I'll receive the security footage by then as well." Hugo nodded.
"Get some shut-eye Lieutenant, you'll need it" he ended the call with that.
Quill sighs, leans back on his chain, and then slides through the various documents except for one fact…
A specific silver was produced only for the family members of the Silvius family by their mining company Silvius industries.
A tooth is made of s special type of sterling silver once the child is 13, they replace the first upper molar of their permanent tooth for dental records and Identification purposes.
ever since the apocalypse happened corpses were lying left, right and centre, so to Identify a key family member, this was done.
'I thought I had only 2 of them made… but it does show 3…' He sighs and looks up at the ceiling...
'If I could just remember your name…'

"What took you so long?" Loki complains as he's munching on a pack of nachos he brought back from the food court.
"I was still figuring things out It's not every day that one got to incinerate their own corpse, but the job is done," Leon responded
"Good now let's go, We got some work to do." He grabs Leon's shoulder and before Leon could respond, they teleport.
In the cave where Loki is imprisoned, Leon and Loki appear and there is a naked Leon body there with his whole body healed, with a circular scar right in the middle of his chest.
Leon stands astonished looking at his body and seeing the rise and fall of his chest…indicating the body is breathing, It's clear… His body is alive…He is alive…
"You were a ghost with his consciousness, technically you were always alive kiddo." Loki suddenly spoke up which makes Leon stare at him in confusion.
"What you looking at? Hasn't anyone told you that they can read you like a book just from seeing your face?" He said which made Leon a bit embarrassed and wipe his ghostly tears
"Y-yeah yeah damn it" Leon responded and goes to possess his body but just before that happens, Loki stops him.
"Woah! Easy there hotshot! I got some explaining to do, Don't be so impatient." Loki calmly explains with a smirk that he couldn't stop after the conversation he had with Hel in Helheim when he had left to retrieve the newly formed body and deal with the negotiations.
"Okay then say it," Leon says impatiently
Loki snaps and a band Tattoo of Norse runes and Viking tattoos appear on Leon's physical and astral body from his right arm.
"Part of the negotiations with Hel, As much as I trust my partner, my daughter does not.
she is not the kind of person who does favours for free."
Loki sighs and continues while Leon's face turns from a smile of excitement to a frown.
"What do I have to do for her?" Leon asked since even he knew there is no such thing as a free lunch, especially when dealing with a matter of gods.
"Firstly, you have to prove that you can even kill. 3 human souls must reach Helheim by the next 3 months." Loki stated and looks at Leon to see if He'd give any reaction.
Leon just stood still for a moment and then nodded," Killing is part of learning to be a soldier anyways, the good news is you said "equivalent to a human soul" so other living creature souls can compensate for it"
"We won't have high hopes for you if you bring souls of chicken or mice, my friend, so please take it seriously" Loki sighs, and rubs his eyes, but secretly smirks inwardly for some reason.
'He is getting observant, now that is progress' he smiles listening to his own sarcastic thoughts, and then drops the bomb on Leon.
" The reason for the 3 souls is because I have negotiated with you to give you 3 lives," Loki stated nonchalantly.
…
"WHAT?!"
