Rushing to a few thugs, Cipher rips them apart as Marshall drops the handcuffed Samuel, runs and grabs Eveline. As he does, the frenzied Cipher runs at the thugs that had Eveline.
Samuel: What the hell is he...?
Marcos: *sees his legs somewhat shake* You know Sam, without Cross there wouldn't be a Bloodstained Crow.
More and more Cross members are dying, as some still shooting many other begin to flee in terror. However as they desperately run, Cipher jumps in front of them and manages to bite off the face of one of the thugs. Terrorized they try running back but they are then massacred as heads and bodies are sliced in half by Cipher as he dashes in between them.
Eveline: Wha- what's happened to him?!
Marshall: God only knows. Eveline stay here. As long as you don't attract any attention to yourself I doubt you'll get noticed by it.
Eveline: Marshall, wait! Where are you going?
But her words are ignored as Marshall runs towards Samuel and Marcos.
Marshall: Let's go you son of a bitch.
Samuel: You... You're going to let this happen? Such admiration from a cop, how expected. Aren't you supposed to read my rights or something?
Marshall: Save it. I'll tell you them after we get out. Or would you like to hear it as the crow sees us.
Samuel's view is then directed towards the massacre Cipher is causing as his claws stabs through one thugs head.
Thug6: Shit he's not dying even though he had been shot so many times!
Then thug6 neck was ripped open by one of Cipher's attacks. Much of the blood gets sprayed onto Cipher’s face. Killing all in his way Cipher eventually stops his attack as most of all Cross members have been killed by him. The remaining few now back away slowly as they feel if they make a run for it, Cipher will kill them like all the others who ran. The fire starts to spread as the oil from the burning room spreads on the floor. Looking towards their direction, Cipher tilts his head at 9 Cross members in his view as his red diamond shaped pupils stare at them.
Thug7: Hey, I'll distract him. You guys go for the exit, I don't know how long I can give ya but you gotta run for it.
Thug7 runs at Cipher as the rest try to escape. Running and shooting, the thug does catch his attention but is then pulled and held from his leg by Cipher's shadow tentacle. Despite this thug7 continues to shoot at Cipher, but is unable to get his attention anymore as he escapes from his vision and before he realizes it Cipher has killed the other 8. With many of their limbs torn off they cry out in pain and fear. Soon enough thug7 is slammed onto the ground next to Cipher. With people still watching and they stop shooting as they try to reload their weapons. Forced on the ground, Cipher looks at thug7 face to face. To everyone's horror, the uncontrollable Cipher begins to devour thug7 from the face like a starving animal. While all this was happening outside; in his head the unconscious Cipher is being covered in darkness.
Cipher: ……….. I can’t see anything here……….. I can’t hear anyone……….. Ah………. This whole thing must be…….. Just one bad dream…….. I should…… wake up…….. Soon……
While being consumed by the darkness, Cipher had just finished eating the thug as everyone tries to shoot him.
Samuel: Looks like none of us are escaping eh cop. With that fire spreading out and the Bloodstained Crow eating and killing people left and right, looks like we're trapped.
Marshall: That's enough out of you.
Samuel: Well not like it matters. Once that fire reaches the other rooms, I'm sure even the Bloodstained Crow won't survive being crushed by the weight of the concrete here.
Marshall: You... were you going to end your life as you try to kill him?
Samuel: Like fucking hell I would. I would like to live, but with how the situation is. I doubt any of us will.
After talking, Samuel head-butts Marshall to try and break free but Marshall recovers quickly and grabs him by the collar and punches his face multiple times. Samuel then kicks Marshall off him as his kick hits Marshall’s stomach. Trying to catch his breath, Marshall is kicked again and once more by Samuel. He then forces his foot down on Marshall's neck, chocking him. Still hiding on the ground Eveline looks up and notices Marshall in trouble. She looks to where the final thug is and sees him being eaten alive by the demonic looking Cipher.
Eveline: Cipher... is that... Is that the same person Brandon and Iris grew up with? *looks to Marshall in trouble* I... I have to help him. I can't let him down!
Shaking but still getting up, Eveline tries to tackle Samuel off him. However Samuel sees her from the corner of his eye and kicks her away to return to chocking Marshall with his foot.
Samuel: Such a shame. You finally get up to help someone only to fail miserably. Dear Eveline, don’t worry I’ll make sure you and I survive this whole ordeal.
Once he turns to look as Eveline, in front of him is the demonic Cipher looking directly into his eyes. His breathing stops as Cipher grabs and lifts up in the air. Now staring into each other’s eyes, Cipher tosses the handcuffed Samuel to a pillar. But instead of killing him like the others, Cipher begins to actively beat down Samuel as his tentacles grabs his ribs and their grip begins to tighten as the bones start to crack.
Samuel: Gah!! YOU BASTARD!
As Samuel's ribs crack from the pressure, he begins to scream out in agony. While on the ground, Marshall looks at Eveline on the ground near him.
Marshall: Eveline, you okay?
Eveline: Y-yeah.
Marshall: Marcos you still alive?
Marcos: ... *mumbles with a swollen face* Somehow.
Eveline: I'm glad you’re okay Marshall.
They then see Samuel thrown across the large area they are in as the fire spreads more now that it has gotten on the fabrics and object in there. With the light from the flames, the see the black miasma come closer to Samuel. Cipher emerges from it and grabs Samuel's head bringing it closer to his own. He then slams him to the ground, with drool dripping down from his mouth.
Eveline: He's going to eat him...
Getting up, Marshall grabs both Marcos and Eveline to escape. As they do Samuel speaks up to Cipher.
Samuel: Well what are you waiting for? Come on, do it! Once you do I'll activate the bombs and you'll die in here with me!
Marshall: Shit, let's go!
As they try to get away Eveline looks back at Cipher, she wonders if Cipher really was a monster that acted as a human. Thinking about this, an unfamiliar yet soft spoken voice comes into her mind.
Unknown Voice: (Help him.)
Eveline: Huh!? Who's that?
Marshall: Eveline, come on let's go!
Unknown Voice: (You can help him. The one that saved you, the one whom grew up with them. The boy you heard about is still inside there.)
Eveline: Am I hearing things? Marshall can you-
Unknown Voice: (There’s not much time to explain but that paper you got is meant to save this boy from losing his remaining humanity. It’s also why you’re the only one that can hear me. Please you must trust me when I say this, you can save him. You can save the boy from the darkness that has begun to devour his body and soul.)
Eveline: But I... How can I even!
Unknown Voice: (All you need to do is get the talisman you have to touch his head. If you do not try then he will never return. He will attack all living things and eventually he will die as his body itself gets eaten by that darkness you see.)
Marshall: Eveline! What are you doing, let's go!
Unknown Voice: (You must believe in yourself. I promise nothing will happen to you. Even the slightest touch from the talisman will be enough for me to give him enough power to break out of his corrupted state.)
Clenching her fists, Eveline runs to Cipher as he is about to eat Samuel.
Marshall: Eveline! Don't! *realizes he lost his gun* Fuck! Marcos I'm dropping you!
Eveline: (I don't know who or what that voice was, but it felt like it I could believe it. I... I have to give it a shot!)
Running towards Cipher, his eyes turns to her direction as his mouth stops midway to Samuel. She stops as he drops him and turns his attention to her.
Eveline: C-Cipher! You have to snap out of it!
Samuel: Realized your love for me have you? *gets grabbed once more by Cipher*
Eveline: *walks closer to him* No don't do it! Think about what you’re doing!
Marshall: Get away from him Eveline! He's dangerous don't you get it!
Eveline: No wait Marshall don't shoot him! I know you think that but believe me; I can bring Cipher back to his senses.
Marshall: No what are you an idiot! Get away from him!
Eveline: Please Marshall! I'm begging you! Please trust me, I have to save him!
Marshall: Why! Why do you think you can!
Eveline: I can't explain it, but I can’t leave him like this. I'm sorry Marshall... *runs to Cipher once more*
Marshall: Damn it, Eveline!
Now chocking Samuel, Cipher is no longer interested in Eveline as she is able to get close to him, to the point she is able to touch him. But once she does, the black miasma then cuts her hand slightly. Even with her hand getting only minimal cuts she tries to hold back his arm while he gets closer to eat him once more.
Eveline: Cipher you can't kill him! This isn't what you want is it! If you do this, you won’t be the same person Brandon looks up to anymore!
With her eyes closed she feels his arms lighten up, but as she grabs hold of the talisman in her pocket and she opens her eyes; all she sees his black sclera and red diamond shaped pupils are now looking directly at her. His tentacle grab hold of Samuel as Cipher holds Eveline by her head. Marshall finds and grabs a gun to shoot at Cipher.
Eveline: Marshall don't! Please he'll attack you if you shoot him!
Marshall: And if I don’t he'll kill you! I won't let you be killed; I won't fail those two again!
Eveline: Cipher! If you kill him you will never be the same! You will kill everyone!
Not listening Cipher's mouth opens up as he is about to kill Eveline. Not taking the chance Marshall tries to shoot but is disarmed by another of Cipher's tentacles as it rips the gun away from him and strangles him. Unable to do anything as he watches Eveline about to be killed as Cipher lunges to her.
Eveline: Think about Iris!
Stopping immediately as his mouth stops from ripping her neck apart. She then sees that his eyes are twitching. Using this chance she manages to slap the talisman onto his face. As it hits him, an explosion of light emerges and causes Cipher to leg to of Eveline. As she fell onto the ground she notices smoke coming from her hand sees part of her hand has an odd scar that resembles a burn mark. Cipher’s body then begins to twitch as he begins growl. Eventually the tentacles holding everyone disappear, but the black miasma remains on Cipher's body.
Eveline: Cipher, please you must know that this black misty you shouldn't be the one that decides what you want.
Suddenly his right claw grabs her neck and uses such a hard grip as she gasps for air. As the black miasma starts to flow violently on Cipher, Marshall sees this as he desperately tries to get back on his feet.
Marshall: LET HER GO!
Cipher: *disembodied voice*... I... know...
Marshall: What!?
Using his other hand, he grabs hold of his arm that is chocking Eveline and manages to break it. He then drives his left claw onto the left side of his face. While she starts to breathe again, Cipher is struggling with his body as he rips off parts of the black miasma off his face. As he does, blood starts to splat onto the ground seemingly like the black miasma had started to become part of his body. Continuing to rip parts of the black miasma off, Marshall runs to Eveline's side as they see Cipher struggling with himself. During this the fire spread so much that it had begun to engulf the entire area. Now with most of the black miasma off him, the remaining parts begin to fade away from Cipher's body. As they watch him, they see that his cloak was partially burned as what little of his body armor had remained is now destroyed. Leaving behind only burned shirt showing his skin and on his chest was a large scar on the side of where his heart is. On his face small open scars remain as well; and his left eye bleeding out as he has it closed. Noticing the talisman on his face Cipher takes it off and walks to Marshall and Eveline.
Cipher: Did you slap this on me?
Eveline: Yes, I’m sorry if it hurt.
Cipher: No… It’s defiantly fine. Don’t worry about it. Here, take it. *hands her the paper talisman*
Eveline: Don’t you need this?
Cipher: The paper looks kind of burnt so I think whatever this was; it was a onetime use type of thing.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Knowing that Marshall is right next to Eveline, Cipher tries to avoid eye contact with him.
Samuel: Well now... seems like you back to your fake self aren't you monster.
Cipher: You wish I was a monster after I'm done with you. You guys get out of here! The fire will block your escape if you stay here. Leave now!
Unknown Voice: (He is right; you must escape the place now. A dangerous being will arrive soon and he will not be alone.)
Eveline: A dangerous being?
Marshall: Eveline who are to talking to? Are you okay?
Unknown Voice: (Do not worry the boy will be okay. This I can tell you with 100 percent that he and your fates are linked by a bond. Now leave before they arrive to you location.)
Eveline: Um... Marshall we have to leave now.
Marshall: *looks to Cipher* You going to kill him, crow?
Cipher: Wish I could. But you beat me to him since I got lost when I was coming here. You won fair and square.
Once Cipher accidently looks at Marshall, he sees the detective's eyes analyzing him.
Marshall: Crow. When this is all over, I want to talk to you. Face to face. Got it?
Cipher: … Yeah. (Sorry Marshall.)
They leave and pick up Marcos from the ground. Cipher then walks to Samuel but feels lightheaded as his vision starts to fade. Seeing this chance Samuel lowers his cuffed hands down to his feet and manages to get them back to his front side. Now with his arms back in place, he stands up, grabs a rusted steel pipe on the ground, and starts to beat on Cipher.
Samuel: You little sack of shit. *hits him on the back* You should have killed me when you had the chance. *repeatedly hits his ribs with steel pipe* AND NOW YOU WILL REGRET OF LETTING ME LIVE!
After some hits onto his body, the rusted steel pipe breaks after landing final hit as Cipher tries to block the attacks. Using the broken end of the pipe, Samuel stabs Cipher on his shoulder blade. Right after the stab, Samuel uses the chain on his handcuff to choke Cipher.
Samuel: This isn't enough! I want to see your eyes roll backwards as you die from suffocation! I will make sure you regret interfering with me!
He grits his teeth hard as the force from the small chains tightens.
Samuel: If you didn't get in the way, THEN THAT FUCKING BASTARD'S WORLD WOULD FALL!
Flipping him over all while the grip the chains have on his neck do not lighten, Samuel is able to see the Bloodstained Crow's face.
Samuel: You... I recognize you! How the hell are you alive! Did my father save you somehow!? Well I don't know how're still alive, but it'll be my pleasure to see you die once more, boy!
Unable to concentrate to teleport and unable to breathe, Cipher is unable to think of a way to escape. As his hand slowly reach the chain, a claw manages to cut the chain chocking him as he is able to break free. Breathing once more, Cipher looks at Samuel as he holds up a trigger.
Samuel: Back off! I will blow up this entire place and kill us both!
Cipher: Are you kidding me? I just did all that crap and you think being crushed by some falling concrete will kill me? I've been shot on the head, stabbed on the neck, had snipers shoot me, and how bunch of other crap. What makes you think this will do me in?
Noticing Samuel's guard is down, he grabs and breaks Samuel's right arm in half. It now painfully dangles from the elbow.
Samuel: Gahh! You bastard! *tries to use his left hand to activate the bombs*
Cipher: *breaks his other arm in half* Just stop. It's pathetic.
Using his feet to hold down his arms, he grabs them to break them to a point that the bones stab out of his skin. Samuel screams in pain now more so as Cipher grabs his legs. His legs are then bent its opposite direction and the bone in his arms poking out; then he stomps on Samuel’s mouth so hard he broke his jaw bone. Cipher flips him over so that Samuel lies on his chest.
Cipher: I can't tell you how badly I want to kill you and you know what, I was close to not even caring what would happen to everyone else as long as you died here.
He then begins to stomp down on Samuel's spine.
Cipher: I almost lost myself again and almost killed someone that means a lot to someone I know. I won't make them suffer like that again. Even if it means that I won't kill you but instead, I'll just make you wish I did. I'll make you into an example for everyone else out there.
Grabbing his head and his legs; Cipher smashes his knee onto Samuel's lower back. Snapping his spine, Samuel passes out from the pain.
Cipher: ... Shit I went through all this just to break him and not kill him. *sighs* Whatever.
Dragging his body to the exit, Cipher looks around him as the fire rages out of control. He then sees a familiar silhouette within the flames.
Cipher: What do you want Vice?
Vice: ... What are you doing? He's still alive. Just kill him.
Cipher: Not happening. It was stupid of me to come back for this; his life will be dealt with the living. Not someone like me.
Vice: You think you have a choice now? You think I lead you here just for you to have an epiphany of some sorts! You are to kill him here and NOW!
Cipher: Why does it matter? And what if I choose not to?
Vice: You do not want to go there boy. Don't forget you currently have a low amount of energy, you will die again. That whole tearing off the darkness from your body did a number on you after all. Your healing abilities have slowed down since your wounds have not completely healed.
Cipher: Then do it. Just know that I will not go down without a fight. *drops Samuel*
Vice: You've lost against me so many times, what makes you think you can win now? Boy?
Cipher: Trial and error I guess.
Quickly Cipher rushes towards Vice, and as Vice is about to counter him Cipher teleports above him and grabs his wing to toss him. As he does Vice manages to slip by and grab Cipher's arm to break it. He grabs hit and breaks it, but in doing so Cipher uses this chance to twist his body and land a powerful kick to Vice's face.
Vice: You... FILTHY CREATURE HOW DARE YOU!
Cipher then forms a fist with his claws and punches Vice on his stomach. Forcing his broken arm back to normal, he then lands a barrage of punches to Vice as he lays on the ground. Unbeknownst to Cipher is that surrounding them is not only a raging fire but a swarm of demonic spirits as they enter the bodies of the dead thugs. Within the barrage of punches, Vice's hand reaches out to Cipher's neck, causing him to stop punching.
Vice: I've had it with you, your nothing but another failure.
An unusual orb manifests onto his palm and he stabs it into where the scar on his heart is. Meanwhile the others are running as the fire has gotten out of hand and spread everywhere they look.
Marshall: Damn the fire's here too! There's gotta be a way to get passed it.
Eveline: There's someone there!
As the walk forward they see what seems to be a thug just standing around. Once they get closer and past him he looks at them. As Eveline looks at him she can see that his neck was cut open and he's still moving.
Eveline: Oh my god!
Marshall: What the fuck!?
The thug then rushes to them. Shooting immediately at the thug, Marshall hits him on the body and the head. But none seem effective until a part of the ceiling collapses onto him, crushing him.
Marshall: What the hell was that!
They then see more possessed people getting close to them.
Marshall: Shit Come on, the fire's not the only thing we gotta get away from! Back up should be up ahead!
They get away from the area and head towards the exit. As they run, Eveline begins to see the demonic spirits hovering around the area. While they are trying to escape, back over where the flames originated; the orb now within Cipher's chest is unresponsive.
Vice: ... What's going on? Why won't it leave!?
Cipher: W-what *coughs out blood* aren't you taking this curse away?
Vice: Silence vermin! (I do not understand? This one is just a failure too, so why won't you leave this one?)
Cipher grabs Vice by the arms and head butts him causing the orb in his hand to leave Cipher's body.
Cipher: Sorry you damn shitty angel. But I will not be your damn puppet anymore! *head butts him repeatedly*
Once Vice looks at Cipher after the attacks, he sees that his wounds have healed once again. However a smile forms onto his face as he looks at Cipher's face. Feeling like he's being mocked, Cipher delivers one final punch to the face as it launches him across the room. Vice’s voice then echoes within the room.
Vice: Well then if this is your choice then I must tell you; from now on more vile blood starved beasts will come for you. I’m sure you’ve made the best choice, idiotic homo-sapiens. *teleports and punches Cipher on the face*
Cipher: Gah!
He takes one step back and then forces his hand to make a fist. As he does the claws pierce through his palm, but ignores the pain and lands one powerful punch on Vice.
Vice: Nice hit, boy. If only you could use that force to kill that vile HUMAN!
The two lock hands as they try to overcome one another.
Cipher: Why the hell does it matter if he lives or dies! Does that mean if I killed him, I would go to hell or some bullshit?!
Vice: No, that power of yours would have swallowed your body and you could have become a threat to this entire world.
Cipher: Why? Cause I absorbed his soul?
Vice: *sighs* Well since you’re not going to be useful now, there’s no point in hiding it. Once you had killed him, you would have been filled with a never ending thirst for bloodshed. You could have become a being that will devour all of life.
Cipher: You son of a bitch! That’s your plan!
Feeling that he is being pushed back by Vice, Cipher is able to use his knee and hit Vice at his chin.
Vice: Such a foolish boy you are. Cipher Avalon
Now broken free from the hand lock, Cipher reaches out to the ground, grabs a metal rod, and tosses it right to Vice’s head, that manages to pierce right through him. With no movement from Vice anymore, he then looks at his claws and notices that they seem to be slightly longer. One other thing that he notices is that even though he feels his left eye has healed, he cannot see from it.
Cipher: Did these things grow a bit? They look a little longer then before and why can't I see from my left eye? *looks around and notices that the corpses had begun to move* Wait if these things followed me in here that would mean... Shit the others!
Still running from the corpses that have begun to surround them they manage to get to the front exit they were looking for.
Marshall: Okay just keep going straight until you get to a door got it?
Eveline: What do you mean! Aren't coming too!?
Marshall: I'll hold these people off as you two get to safety!
Eveline: But-
Marshall: GO THAT'S AN ORDER!
As Eveline grabs Marcos, he notices in the swarm of bodies coming, Mark’s corpse is among them. Stunned by his appearance, Eveline becomes stunned for a moment.
Marcos: (That kid… looks like he didn’t make it… Damn it)
Reluctantly Eveline leaves alongside Marcos as they get away as quickly as they can. Looking down at the fiery hallway he can see many of the possessed corpses running towards him. Now shooting as fast as he can to slow them down, Marshall manages to gun down as many as he can before they get closer to him. About to be over run, body parts are cuts off as Cipher had rushed towards Marshall all while carrying Samuel. He then tosses Samuel at Marshall.
Cipher: You get out of here now! I'll take care of these guys while you take him and make a break for it!
Marshall: Like hell you are! These things will tear you apart!
Cipher: Yeah and it's my fault and because of that, I’ll take care of it! *looks at Marshall*
Marshall: Fine, but if you are how I think you are. I ask of you to no go and get yourself killed again.
Cipher: *turns away* … I have no idea what you’re talking about.
As Marshall get the unconscious Samuel up and they leave, Cipher stays and attacks the oncoming possessed corpses that attack him.
Cipher: (I won't lose control like last time. Whatever this power is, I need to find out what this really is.)
However soon enough an explosion is heard as the entire floor begins to shake from the blast. Losing his balance, Cipher falls on his back as he slashes a possessed body till the spirit left. The ceiling though collapses on them. Back at the public area of the station, it had been evacuated before the explosion had occurred. The medics take a look at both Eveline and Marcos as they put Marcos into a stretcher and take him away. When Marshall made it out, they also put Samuel on a stretcher as they leave to place him into an ambulance vehicle. Smoke from the explosion then reaches the door where they had escaped from. Not knowing if Cipher made it out, Eveline walks close to the door in the room. She can hear someone running out from the hallway, so she backs up as one possessed thug lands on top of her.
Possessed Thug: WomAN GIVE mE YOUr BODY!
Before the some of the police officers could react, Cipher comes out from the smoke as well and instantly kills the possessed thug. As it is still day time and, the spirit is weak so it dissipates quickly. Now surrounded by cops Cipher stands up in front of them.
Officer1: Careful guys. This guy was hell a dangerous the last time we saw him.
Officer2: You... YOU KILLED MY BEST FRIEND AT THAT CLUB!!!
Cipher: Careful, *grabs Eveline* you wouldn't want to injury this girl would you? *a claw starts to scratch her cheek*
Eveline: Huh?
Officer3: You fucking coward!
The police backing up and as Marshall is running back, a flash of light then brightens the room as Cipher had used his last flash grenade and teleports out of the station. Once everyone's vision returns they realize that the Bloodstained Crow had escaped once more. At a park a hill over looks part of the city as Cipher had teleported both himself and Eveline there.
Eveline: What... What just happened?
Cipher: I'm sincerely sorry about that. I needed to escape quickly without getting shot at. So yeah, sorry about using you like that.
Eveline: It's okay.
Cipher: No it's not. What if one of them decided to shoot and it'd hit you?
Eveline: Yeah... I guess that could have… happened...
Cipher: Ugh, don’t tell me you still don’t value you-
Her legs begin to weaken as she begins to fall to the floor.
Cipher: *catches her* Hey! What's wrong?
Taking off his hood, Cipher reveals his face to her. She sees there are small scars on his face and to her surprise he looks as if he hasn't aged since the photo she saw of him. She looks at him as his left eye remains closed.
Cipher: Looks like your just tired... I'll take you home.
Using his teleportation abilities, they arrive to the front door of the Patentia residence. He leaves Eveline near the door as she sleeps, but he lays her on the ground she grabs hold of his arm and tears begin to fall from her eyes.
Eveline: Mom... why did you leave me alone... Daddy...
Loosening her grip off his arm, Cipher places her on the ground.
Cipher: Sounds like you've had a tough life for a while. Look, I don't know how long you've known these people, but the bonds you have with them are probably stronger than you think. So take it from me; being with them... will help you heal those scars of yours.
Turning away Cipher opens his left eye and notices his vision has not returned. However looking down to his claws he sees that they have begun to emit a dark miasma. Suddenly he starts to lose consciousness as he feels an uncontrollable urge. However before he does, Cipher is able to suppress the feeling long enough to vanish from the area. Moments later a car drives up to the garage of the house. As Sharon, Iris, and Brandon exit the car and begin walking to the front door of the house they see Eveline sitting on the ground next to the door. The group makes eye contact with Eveline as she gets up and shows them a bright smile.
Moments after the chaos had ended, walking into the office of the CEO of Servantas TECH, Lisa places a flash drive onto Charles's desk. As he was signing documents before she had entered, he places his pen away and proceeds to grab the flash drive.
Charles: Does this show a clear picture of the Bloodstained Crow?
Lisa: If you clean the images up then you might be able to identify him.
Charles: I'm astonished, how did you accomplish this?
Lisa: *shows glasses* These things got a hidden camera on the rims of the lens. So what's the next job?
Charles: I can see your eager, but that’ll be it for now. The rest of the money will be delivered to your current home.
Lisa: So what... is that it?
Charles: No. I have another job for you to take. For now I want you to stay put for now.
Lisa: *slams her hand onto the desk* Are you fucking kidding me... Tell me one good reason why I should?
Charles: If the Bloodstained Crow had found their club hideout, then there’s a good chance that the police will have engaged him. If that’s the case then I don’t want you killing those cops all while you’re hunting the crow.
She begins to walk away from the office and places her hand on the door knob. Before she exits though, Lisa asks Charles a question that has been on her mind since she took the job.
Lisa: Hey, what type of plan did you have in store for that boy?
Charles: I was letting him go on his tantrum. Since he had taken some weapons from a supply truck, I can only assume his goal was to attack this building. Unfortunately for him, more than half of the artillery was defective. Hell, even the power in those rocket launchers wouldn’t even deal enough damage to an armored vehicle the police would have.
Lisa: What’s a tech company doing with those types of weapons, huh.
Charles: Confidential Government Request.
Lisa: Is that so. (An’t so confidential anymore.)
Charles: That boy blamed me for many things that were wrong in his life. He was just a bastard child from a woman I had with during my youth. I only knew him and his half-blooded sister for only a while. In the end I grew bored and decided to leave that foolish lifestyle for a much more "appropriate" one.
Lisa: Like the one you have now, Mr. Chairman? Fuck, give me a break. I have to say though; I didn't know the Bloodstained Crow was your child.
Charles: What, no. I was talking about Samuel. The crow is just someone that seems would be an excellent specimen.
Lisa: If I were you, I would not bother. He's not someone YOU could handle.
Charles: Who said I was the one going to deal with him?
Lisa: *sighs* Fine but just so you know; I’m not leaving. At least until I have my fun with him. After all, he will be the best prey I’ve ever had.
As she leaves the office, Charles sits down and takes a glance towards the windows behind him. Days turn into weeks and there have been no sightings or any information of the phantom known as The Bloodstained Crow ever since.
