What can I do to make it up to you? asks Imber. This is enough, probably, says Kei. I really feel bad, man, says Imber. Well, luckily we’re still immortal for now and you’ll have time to forget about it, says Kei laughing. For now? asks Imber worried. Don’t worry about it, says Ram. By the way, I heard on the news that people are gathering at the UN headquarters and that the police is already there, says Imber. Oh, so that’s what’s happening, says Mary. Let’s hope it stays peaceful, says Kei. I don’t know about that, says Pincer. What do you mean? asks Ram. It’s been a crazy forty eight hours, says Pincer. Agreed, says Kei as they arrive at the precinct. This is too quiet, and I don’t like the lack of cars in front , says Pincer. Me neither, says Ram. Did they all leave? asks Pincer. No, there is one care up front left, says Kei. What is happening? asks Imber as he turns translucent. Well, it seems the precinct is quite possibly empty, says Mary. You stay here and keep all this safe, Kei tells Imber as he gets out of the car. The four proceed to move towards the precinct. They open the door. Where is everybody? asks Ram. Here, says a familiar voice as from under the desks twenty guys with guns get up pointing it at the four.

The crowd seems to be growing at a steady pace. I’m starting to fear that if they become violent, we won’t be able to make much of anything in regards to protecting this place, says Ken. What can you do against immortals that don’t fear pain? asks Wasa rhetorically. Which is why I’m not leaving, says Niles. Why? asks Wasa. Because no one should have access to the top floor. It’s integral to peace, says Niles. And what will you do, Mr. Niles against thousands of men and women willing to put their lives to the test to see what’s up there? asks Wasa. I will stand in their way, says Niles. And you’ll get your head crushed in by a stampede of angry, frustrated, disappointed people, says Wasa. But you’ll have to keep them in line, says Niles. With what? They’re immortal. They’ll get back up. And we aren’t a military force, we can’t just rip everyone’s head off, says Wasa. You don’t get it, says Niles. What don’t we get? asks Ken. If the truth leaves this building there will be chaos in the whole world. Whatever peace we had for the past few thousands of years… Poof…. Gone. Do you get it now? asks Niles. No, says Ken. Me neither, adds Wasa. What do you think? How are you so dense? If we don’t have a military, what else do you think we don’t really have or have never really needed? asks Niles. Wait, what? asks Ken just as an officer comes rushing in. Captain, the crowd is getting rowdy and we can’t hold them back. What should we do? asks the officer. Get everyone inside the building. NOW! shouts Wasa. But, you can’t, says Niles. I can, now get to safety, says Wasa.

I do have to say that I am quite disappointed in you, says X. What are you two doing here? asks Kei. Now, now, no sudden movements, says Yellow. Well, to answer your question, when we saw that you weren’t cooperating, we thought we’d come get what we needed ourselves, says X. And what’s that? asks Kei. Well, wouldn’t you like to know? asks Yellow laughing. You two, go strip them of whatever guns they have and see what else they might be hiding, says X to two henchmen. Oh yeah, Telum! Why don’t you come out of the captain’s office? asks X screaming. Telum walks out with N by his side and two henchmen behind them. What the fuck? asks Kei. Oh, you haven’t seen shit, says X laughing. Go find what we were looking for! screams Yellow at the other henchmen. What’s the hurry? asks Kei. You know these guys? asks Mary. Long story for another time, says Kei. Well, I can only say that I’m running out of patience and I’m getting tired of everything, says Yellow. And how do you plan on changing that? asks Kei. By killing every last fucker, says Yellow. Why? asks Kei. What the fuck is wrong with you? What do you mean why? asks Yellow. Why not just kill yourself? asks Kei. Because fuck you, and because these ungrateful fuckers are taking their lives for granted even after one fucking billion suddenly died! screams Yellow as he stomps his foot down. So you think fear will keep them down? asks Mary. Oh, I am certain that if by one fucking click of a button you’re suddenly fucking dead and you know that. You’ll behave, says Yellow as he pulls out a familiar cylinder device from his pocket. Oh no, says Kei…
