Blackshot arrived at Electrolite Battery Corp's Parking Lot. He found the Windwalkers' van.

Blackshot approached the van and started knocking at it really hard that Jem thought they were under fire.

"Hey!! Stop that!" Jem screamed as he woke up. The moon is still up.

"Hey, you better wake your teammates up, I have something to tell you." Blackshot replied.

"Yeah, and we also have to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"We accepted a contract which involves of getting the CEO's niece back."

"What happened?"

"I already told you on the phone."

"I forgot. Tell me what happened to her."

"She got kidnapped by a gang. Not sure what their motive is."

Blackshot then remembered the message on his enemy's phone.

"Wait, are those guys who kidnapped her were the Tiktik Gang?"

"How do you know? Are you a psychic?"

"No, I encountered most of them back in Laguna. Allan Morales has escaped when I was on to him. He escaped to this place and now, we have to find him before he did another stupid thing."

"So, you have any clue on his whereabouts?"

"Everytime I encountered those gangs who were connected to them, I always absorb the memories in their head. They have this little hideout called the building covered by the Shadow of A Thousand Suns. Not sure what that means but I believe that we can find it somewhere in this place." Blackshot explained.

"Where do you think we can find that building?"

"We'll probably ask the gangsters around this place." Blackshot says as he stepped on the van.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"You guys got any coffee here?"

"Yeah. It was stashed on the bag over there." Jem says as he pointed at the bag located on head of Eric.

Allan stepped off from the SUV and nods at the fat guy who was surrounded with armed men.

"Is this Tony's niece?" He asked as he pointed at the tied and gagged girl on the chair.

"Yeah. What do you want us to do?"

"Nothing. Some bastard stormed the mansion and beaten up every men I have. Including our associate gangs just to get on me. I don't know if he's alive since I told my men to kill him."

"You think he was from a rival gang?"

"He dressed like an agent. I don't think so. Tony might have sent another agent to slice us up. We never know."

"So, what do we do now?"

"I'll stay right here. I'll probably burn some heat until it was safe to come back."

"You scared?"

"What? No! Hell, he's just a kid."

"Kid? If it was Blackshot you're dead for sure."

"Blackshot?"

"Yeah, you know the clone?"

"Clone?"
