"We have to make a plan for this, a big one," Piers said as everyone was all ears on the topic "This became something way bigger than I expected, this…" He breaths "Everything that I have done to uncover this… Organization, Stravas himself and his group of people, they all have something in common, the Treon, this has to be their main source, the origin and the end of the problem, now how they may probably have a massive sort of income, what this might be?" He asked, "oh and also their legal use of the word Do."
He stretches his arm as in removing some ants out of them, "They just Do… that and they another thing done, the income and what they do has to be combined, one thing we know for sure, one of their incomes is from illegal doing, Human slavery to be exact, which is…" He shakes his head with a removement of darkness of this, he returns to normal stadyness "Incohesive, it's bad and overall wrong".
"Now that is just overall one of the ways we know of it even might be the only on that truly gives the most" Piers said as his discourse starts to tune down in a more now thoughful way, "As far as we know they are kind of careless on who is in and who is outin their everyday time, for now we also know that they have some people in charge, Stravas, the gun maker Mr.Apollo, who for now we know it's on the Illegal, Acantha which is the chief of Logistics and Research, the one that basically gets the info on everything." He, therefore, settles his palm on his jaw and starts meditating anew "then there is the big man probably the chief of security Elena told me about, then there was the flat weird-looking guy in the Park's house".
"There was also John Cabaliure and that other person besides him" Jovi added to what Piers was saying "Oh yes, tell us about when you were saving Melody's sister, please Jovi". A ringing on his head as if a horn got pushed by an angry driver in an almost utter crash, that is the way his mind worked his own thoughts, fast yet comprehensive of the situation at all times "He was at the exact time we were there, maybe he was there for business or either of him actually working there, but I think the first one is the right one, it's just his correct style of work, well anyways there were other four with him, probably his crew and the owner" He stared at the side and continued his speech anew.
"I think what was happening there is he is working for them… yeah so now this can mean that Cytro is paying them to some of their dirty jobs, meaning taken out the ones who might be interested in taken them out of the picture as in a domino effect of taking out the big fish to become one, why?" He sighs "that is how their big world works", "what?" Elena expressed all her discomfort in just one sudden word, "Yeah, it is the way it operates overall, look, guys, all of you come from places in which just five percent of the time there is a robbery or a murder, why? Because everything is getting controlled, we finally have reached the so-called Utopia almost all around the world. But for some of them to be on a perfect harmony and functionality there must be another place in which they get paid for just a dime, but that simple dime becomes a diamond in the utopian cities".
They all kept in check eyes really open as all of them begin to learn the past of ex-peaceful Grand Vilstine, Piers proceeded "This place was already a mess in secret, everything looked like a chameleon from the outside which is using his abilities to show no unbalance or nor out of the norm for the outsiders, in the inside though… this was another thing, you see this place before was one of them too, people worked their assets of for a little bit of that diamond the true utopians were getting, yes they got freedom, of speech, of liberty and whatever the hell they wanted, but from the beginning, they always were grabbed by the tail, the government kept all locked on as their taxes kept increasing and increasing, their everyday life was just sad, but they could not everything, they were all tied into something that always made ninety percent of the people there stay, they were all in a position of destitute."
"The expenses of the airport and the borders of the city mark an unstoppable misery of not enough, not enough to even live in another place, their degrees were not even allowed in other states, the government and their people just didn't let them go and just left them in a stay of decay and living for dimes, sad… pretty sad indeed, people in the exterior did not care for what happened here, it was not worth their effort, they all didn't felt the need to help by the fact of all of this being hidden from the public eye".
"Then they came, no, correction. He came, it was seven eigh-ish year of overall misery, he brought up his entire organization with him and walked right through the main entrance of the city" the entrance was made of two humongous piles of well-formed door frame of neoclassicism structure and the doors, doors made of stone and wide open.
"A perfect entrance for a hero of people" that's what he thought to himself as his glancing in front and fixed "He came through the entrance of the big doors in the city, he was… walking, nobody even saw where he parked the car or even a taxi or a limousine. There was none, this man had a hair that weirdly enough looking to one of a lion, ah nonetheless he renewed his walk, man firm and looking like he did not gave a crap about the way they looked at him." He described how the man continued he walked on the pavement of the streets and people kept looking and looking him, he just walked with a little smile on his face as if he was about to achieve something, a massive confidence is what he had on himself.
He described how the man entered the building of where the governor was, then five hours later he comes out with the same smile as he had before, then goes the same route and decides to leave… walking "and that is when everything changed, the taxes and level of what they were gaining increased, not diamond no, but at the same time not dimes too, just normal balanced currency done right, everything was going on in good rhythm, it was so obvious that man did something, and it was big. Time passed and a massive building was started to be constructed, and guess the name of the company which owned."

He took a one second paused "exactly, Cytro's main facility, building or what ever the hell that is…" Archie interrupted and asked a question he wanted to ask from the beginning of the story "how did you knew when or how he arrived?" He said, Piers without hesitation and a little chuckle answered "easy, I was there, was just shopping apples with my…" his eyes starting to the side and pained look all over it, them he proceeded "Anywho I was there at the right time to witness him, time passed and it got revealed who he was, he was the old CEO of that damn corporation that later on would be the infestation of this poor city."
"He seemed a well-managed man, it was too good to be true, our savior of the depressing situation this place has lived through more than fifty years, thanks this Cytro everything became normalized. The passing of the year and times were calmer and everything seemed fine… until two years ago the news reported the end of the life of our hero benefactor, cause… a damn heart attack, it was in the news all over the city, of course, I would never would of bite that bait, days passed and I started to made some phone calls to contacts I had from the agency before I left, they tried to pile up files and get out some dirt of those unforgettable doing with the miserable government, turns out, he body was really at his own funeral, a massive amount of people arrived there put cushion pompon white flowers and weird relics all over the ceremony Church."
"I was worried, if he was dead this place will most likely turn into the hell hole it was at before, another days passed and this people appeared, a lot of them, then on the news we're showing a bunch of blacks vans moving right at Cytro's big building, all of them were entering but not leaving, were they our new salvation? They absolutely were none of that, they were probably the hornet devils of the devil himself.
"Everything was even worse than before, it was all chaos, How did I survived I do not know, but I did for the past years" He looked around at everyone and gave them all one of his quick classic smiles "now you guys reached and embarked to this demon cage, I know I can trust all of you and you guys can trust me that I will protect all of you while we together uncover now what ever the hell this people are doing now… but uhh can we take this place later right now I got so place to go, it would not take too much time thought!" He expressed.
The man was fast when he reached his coat and walked out the door, "I will be back" He said as he reached the stairs and climbed his way up and onto the main entrances door. Them inside just stayed there and contemplated what their ears heard from the deeper beginnings of this imbalance, Jovi(Paul Mckenzie) was the first one to react as he stood up out of his chair and climbed the stairs too for leaving, he stopped midway as one of them below saw him leave "And where the hell are you going?" Said Michael, "To make sure he is save out there, and in his mindset too" and Jovi proceeded to walk the stairs and get in his car and pursue Piers.
Took him a little more than thirty minutes to finally the car situated in a parking spot. The grass on the same size as the pavement of the floor yet something unveiling on top of it, hundreds and hundreds of stones for the ones that went in the beyond, the grave of many sorrows, a graveyard it was.
Jovi stood and each of him felt heavy, a slow walk to think it through, "of course it might be one of the reasons Piers had stayed all this years" He thought to himself. He finally left that way apart and was right besides Piers, the man just looking down onto the grave, silence, pure silence there was.
"Janet Frisk, it was my wife, oh she was the best I have ever met" Piers said as he stood still and began again to stare at the grave, he knew Jovi was besides him, "It was her Jovi, she was the reason I stood here in this place, met her at just my forties, she was calm, with a book on her hand and a flower on top of her head, the most… Beautiful I have ever since in my entire Goddam boring life, it was right when I retire of the agency. Then we had moments, moments of full joy, the eleven best years of my life, of course we had our problems, but they were never something we could not surpass through".
"I am sorry for whatever thing happened" Jovi said laying a hand on Piers shoulder, "sorry?!" Piers chuckled "don't be sorry, it was the best years for both of us, even till her last day, you see…" He stares at Jovi with a tear almost visible "I stayed here for her, this place was pure chaotic flume, but she still went around and lived her life, with the people she met and her friends, family, I stay in here for them too, I have to protect this city even if I'm the only one that will change it" He stares back at the grave "if it isn't, then I have nothing left to live for".
Then he raises his voice enough for it to be heard with prosperity "I can't believe they went and left their life for actually helping an old pal like me, but now, we are all here, and I guess now we are all in a place in which we kind of can't turn back. Also…" he ask intrigued "Why are you two here? I mean them were here because I talked to them about this but if they didn't it was fine, but I never asked you guys, I know we will meet again and you will lose that bet but I was expecting it for when I finish here".
Jovi glared at him "A job offer, that was Archie told me when coming here, I never liked the old place, too full of themselves, and also most of the time I never got called, it was… as you explained, utopian and with nothing to fight or something to protect. Now he got the offer a week or two before me, well, I guess we are both idiots of situations with control".
"Ah, I see" Piers said " well let's go back, they are probably waiting for us to continue this plan" he took a step back and gaze at the grave anew "Goodbye darling, maybe we will meet again sooner or later, for now I have to stay here dor a sweet cleaning of town, Let's go Jovi" He said and walked with Jovi side by side to their cars, Piers in his mind now with his reason to live glued on his head once again.
