"How much time do we have left till 6 am tomorrow Dennis?", says Lucas.
"9 hours 42 minutes and 16 17 18 19..... seconds", replies Dennis.
"It's not enough but I think I can do this"
"Do what?"
"Find out who this mysterious guy is before I meet him"
"Are you seriously gonna meet him Lucas? Unarmed and alone?"
"No choice, my guy. I feel like I can find something about my father if I go, I feel I must go"
"Well how will you find this guy then? You're literally starting from zero you know?"
"Not from zero. I have some case files of my dad. I think I can find something from there, at least I hope..."
"Alright... then what are we waiting for? Let's go. We don't have time for talks"
Lucas and Dennis get on the car and drive off to their apartment where Lucas had kept his dad's case files.
"I remember my dad said something to me someday that he told me to never forget", Lucas brings up.
"Well, did you forget it then?"
"I have each and every word in my mind"
"What is it then?"
"He told me 'some eyes never cry tears, they cry blood'. I never found out what he meant by that. "
"You sure it was just not a proverb he wanted to say?"
"No... He didn't talk to me about things that weren't important"
"Maybe this can lead us somewhere then? But what does it even mean?"
"That's what I've been wondering."
"By the way Lucas, What kind of case will you search for? You got any idea?"
"I'll look for anything related to The Genesis"
"You still believe that guy is from Genesis?"
"If not from there, he must be related to it, why else would the fake cops have the Genesis tattoo?"
"To fool you perhaps?"
"No, people from Genesis instantly kill them within seconds if someone else has that tattoo"
Lucas and Dennis reach their apartment where they instantly go to search for the case files. They open the shelf and find the files safe.
They take them out and start searching the case files of Genesis.
"Let me know if you find something Dennis", Lucas says.
"I think I just did", Dennis replies.
"What did you find?"
"Mike Paisley"
"Paisley? Isn't that the surname of that kid? From the church?"
"Mike was a priest himself and was apparently charged of murder of his fellow priest"
"That kid, all this time we ignored him, but he was an important guy all along. He might lead us on to something about the mysterious texter"
"But we can't go near him, that guy might kill that kid as well"
"Yeah, you're right. But I'm sure we can get the kid's files, the murder he was recently charged for"
"Yes, we can do that, Let's go then"
"We don't need to go anywhere, Officer Dwayne is bringing it to us"
"When did you even?"
"Right after I heard the news."
Suddenly the bell on their apartment rings.
"It must be officer Dwayne", says Dennis.
"No", replies Lucas
"How are you so sure?"
"Dennis, I'll open the door. I want you to throw this wrench as hard as you can immediately after I open it. Got it?" Lucas grabs the wrench near him and hands it to Dennis
"Got it, but why?"
"Just do it, We don't have any time"
Lucas rushes and opens the door as fast as he can and Dennis immediately throws the wrench in his hand and it hits the head of the man at the door. The man at the door faints.
"I don't know him, he's not officer Stones either, who exactly is this man?", says Dennis
"He was here to kill you Dennis..... I knew it"
"Knew what? And kill me? Why?"
"The killing would be to warn me not to be cheeky. If you didn't notice, we've been getting spied, Dennis, from the moment we left the apartment. "
"Even our voice?"
"Even our voice"
"Tie him up"
"So you lied about officer Stones coming to bring the files?"
"Nah he did bring it, before we even arrived here, it's right here with me"
"What- How are you so quick-?"
"Well I can at least confirm he doesn't read my texts"
"Did you not tell me this just to bait that man here?"
"Yes, now wake him up, time for some interrogations"
Dennis puts a whole bucket of water in the man's face and he wakes up very confused and in a really panicked state.
"Who sent you here? Who's that kid? Talk or we smack the shit out of you by this wrench", Lucas furiously asks.
"I don't know man, we just get orders in our cellphone and we do that shit, nobody knows who the boss is", says the man in a panicked state.
"You don't have a genesis tattoo. Why is it so? Are you not from Genesis?"
"Genesis??? NO!! Why would I even join that shitty group. We're at a war with the Genesis people"
"So why did the guys I sent to prison had Genesis tats?"
"They were from Genesis. They were set up by us so we could lure you, man"
"He's probably lying", adds Dennis.
"I've been taught by my dad how to identify liars and this guy is definitely not one, he's speaking the truth Dennis" Lucas replies.
"If you're not from Genesis, then what is the name of your organization or group?", he adds.
"Hound"
Lucas grabs his head "No way, there's no way... this can't happen"
"What happened Lucas? What's up? What is the Hound?" asks Dennis.
"It's not a criminal organization Dennis"
"Then?"
"It's a detective agency, one where my dumbass father worked... Nobody knows who the leader of that agency is, neither did my dad"
"And you are gonna meet him? Why did he even invite you? Even your father doesn't know him"
"You'll know soon enough", the tied man scoffs.
*9 hours later*
Lucas rushes back in the apartment shouting "DENNIS DENNIS"
"Oh my god Lucas, what happened, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, we were wrong Dennis, we were wrong the whole time"
"What are you talking about?"
"The guy we thought was the leader of the Hound..... "
"What about him, Lucas?"
"It's a woman..."
"so what?"
"It's not any woman, Dennis"
"It's Alex....", Lucas pants.
"Who the hell is Alex?"
"The owner of the orphanage I grew up in.. "
