"Knowledge is taught, wisdom is shown while not all have eyes to see."

Through the doors of an empty house, a man stood tied upside down. He was tied to the ceiling and had his face inside a basin. The man had a gag of thick leather shoved inside his mouth, he screamed as the empty room was filled with his muffled and unheard cries. As his feeling of helplessness increased, a shadow appeared from the only source of light that lit up the room. A man came in and said, "So Mr Bowery, how are we feeling today? Wait let me remove that stuffing from your mouth first"

"Who are you? Why have you tied me up?"

"Mr Bowery, I don't think you are in any position to question me"

"Remove that face mask of yours and let me see your face"

"If that is what you really want then here you go"

"Is that really you? No way. It cannot be. How is this possible?"

"For a matter of fact, it is me"

"If you have kidnapped me to know who did that murder then, yes I did it. But only because McCarthy told me to, he even said that it was the Jack the Ripper man who asked him to do the job but that man gave it to me instead of doing it himself"

"Oh I know all that"

"Then why have you tied me up like this?"

"That is because, there are a few people who are out to catch you, and you my friend have a lot to speak about and I don't want all the plans to be ruined just because of you"

"So you're going to kill me?"

A squeak that sounded like an old rusty tap being opened was heard just before the water started flowing into the basin where Bowery's head was hanging. The water started filling up the basin and drowning Bowery, while struggling to breathe through the little room that was left, he tried to untie himself by pressing his tied hands in the opposite directions only to find blood running down his wrists and dripping into the water, making it a dark colour of red.

"Mr Boss, I am here just as you asked me to"

"Ah you're here Mr Bond, good to see you. No need to call me that, you know my name. That name was something that Jack gave me"

"It's my pleasure, yes I won't use that name again. But could you explain why I am here? Jack told me to come here thinking that I would have to dissect someone, but looking at what you are doing here, I don't think my assistance is needed at all"

"Mr Bond, I'm sorry but the thing is there are a few people who are out looking for you and I don't want you to be caught, so let's just say that we are taking precaution rather than the cure later"

"I see, so the time has already come eh? I know I chose to do this because it gave meaning to what I did, and I was told before hand that this day might come, but now that it has finally come, I feel a little downhearted"

"I'm sorry but Jack's orders, there's nothing I can do"

"All the murders I helped commit, I always felt like it was the right thing to do. But now that I am going to be a part of what I create, it doesn't look as beautiful as it seemed"

"It's funny isn't it? How pain feels satisfying when being inflicted onto others but hurts when suffering through"

"Humans will always be humans, when the sun sets all that is left is an empty body while our morals and goals disappear, we realize that our lives are but something that carries no weight whatsoever. The immediate response when one is about to die is always about saving themselves, that is just how we are and I learnt that we can never change that fact"
