When Morgan was knocked out...
Tom dragged Morgan inside the alley between two tall buildings. He covered Morgan with closed plastics full of waste materials.
The plastics went through him. Tom piled up the plastics so that even if someone could see Morgan, this trash would cover him.
Tom thought, "I gotta get his body." He looked and investigated Morgan's wallet and got his address. In the wallet, there was one photo of two teenagers sitting beside each other on a stone at a beach.
One of them was the younger Morgan. The other was a girl. When Tom looked at the picture, he thought, "This guy must have had a good time when he got this photo clicked. It's such a pity that he's joining Interpol now."
He put the wallet back in Morgan's pocket and turned towards the road. He took steps towards the road. He walked around the streets for 20 minutes, searching for Morgan's apartment.
When he finally found Morgan's building, the building was in uproar. Everyone was running out of the building. The local police were busy evacuating people out of the building.
He looked at the building. Several windows were broken, and some pieces of glass were falling. People running out of the building were getting less.
Everyone who got out was evacuated by the cops. When no one remained, the cops began sealing the building. Tom stopped them and asked about the situation.
According to cops, the building had been attacked by a weird creature. Several people were killed, and this evacuation began just a few minutes ago.
They were sealing the building and planning to call the Interpol Station. But since Tom was here, they asked Tom to do something about the beast.
Tom entered the building. All the lights were destroyed, the tiles were cracked, and some were even broken. In the dark building, anything was barely visible.
Tom took out a torch from one of the pockets of the coat. He turned it on and waved it around. Morgan's apartment was on the 12th floor.
He reached the lift only to see that it wasn't working. He ran towards the stairs. The tiles of the stairs were broken and pointy. He jumped on the handrail and began running up.
He thought, "The days of training came in handy today. Master, I'm grateful for your torture today."
He went through the 1st 5 floors smoothly but slipped to the 6th floor. He grabbed the handrail with his left hand. He barely escaped death. He looked down. He had his torch in his right hand.
He held the torch in his mouth. He thought, "I guess I'll have to walk handstand. But that's impossible. At least I can do this."
He pulled himself up and managed to get footwork. He sighed and thought, "That was one arm muscle up. Never thought those nightmarish drills would come in handy today."
This time, he walked with full balance and no rush. After what seemed to be forever, he reached the 12th floor. He got down. The tiles there were also broken.
Somehow, tiles at every corner of the building were broken or at least cracked. He thought, "What is happening?" He looked upstairs.
To his fear, the tiles upstairs were as good as new. He thought, "Damn! Morgan must be in danger."
He looked down. The tiles were pointy and facing up. He looked above him. When he saw a pipe, he jumped and grabbed it. He went forward using the pipe.
His hand began getting numb. His fingers reddened from grabbing and moving forward using the thick pipe. He continued. After about 100 meters of pain, he finally reached in front of Morgan's house's door.
No, he was not in front of it but rather above the door. He kicked the ventilation open and entered Morgan's room. The room was surprisingly dark. He dropped the torch on the ground.
He jumped in. The room was made of concrete and didn't contain tiles. He thought, "Thank god, this guy is poor."
He looked to his left. A beast was about to eat Morgan's body. Upon seeing this, Tom ran towards it and kicked it as hard as he could.
His arms were not in the best form, but his legs were in the best form possible. The beast was kicked so strongly that it went out of the window. The beast had a strong grip on Morgan's face and when it was forced out of the window, it managed to tear Morgan's body.
Sounds of gunshots came from outside. Tom looked down. The local cops had killed the beast. He shouted from above, "Hey, cops! Get a helicopter here. Someone's injured."
The cops couldn't hear a thing. Tom looked around the room and found a pen and a paper. He wrote a message, crushed the paper, and threw it down.
The cops read the message and made a call. After half an hour, a helicopter arrived at the scene. He took Morgan along with himself. They went to the hospital. The doctors sewed Morgan's face back.
Tom asked, "Isn't there a way to heal it quickly and make it seem that nothing ever happened on his face."
The doctor replied, "There is one way."
"What is it?"
"There is a magical item that can do the work. But that is is expensive."
"What is the cost?"
"100,000 dollars for one cm of the tape. And you will require 12 cm of it."
"I'm buying it."
"Then, you'll have to go to the counter of the magic item shop and buy it. We'll do the work."
30 minutes later...
Everything was done and Morgan was discharged. Now, only a few hours and Morgan would get back to normal.
Present...
After hearing the story, Morgan didn't believe it at first but got confused. Charles arrived at the scene. After a lot of convincing, Morgan finally realised his mistake.
After all the sobbing and the emotional breakdown, Morgan asked Tom, "What can I do to repay you?"
Tom smiled and replied, "Join the Interpol. Do that and it'll be enough. No, that's the only way to repay me."
Morgan, with tears of sorrow and happiness, said, "Of course I will."
