I knew that encounter would help me find him. When he fell I was indeed worried about if he got hurt, but I was more worried my tracker wouldn't have stuck to him or it missed his back.

He isn't escaping me this time, I've worked too hard to get here. I cant let my father be right, that I'm not an ace detective like he once was, with the weapons and resources he's given me, I shall not fail.

"Boys, find everyone in this building of importance. And find out their names. Their real names. " The boy who was so kind to me at school, the boy who's banters make my stomach flutter with butterflies. A cold blooded murderer, with a heart of gold, somehow... EW, NO, HE'S DISGUSTING! But he's here.

This was Marcius 8 M's lair, what the hell is he doing here? One of the guards charges towards me and my steel toed heels kicked into his chest, leaving him incapacitated on the cold floor.

"If you want me to spare your conciousness, I suggest you take me to the new villain. This instant." I demanded of them, pointing my Compact Alpha towards his temple. Unloaded of course, I just needed to find my suspects.

There are footsteps hurrying up the stairway, it has to be him. I followed and shot him in the back of his thigh as he fell up the stairs, stuck on the steps.

I run up to him and pull his hair back to reveal his face. A mannequin. I should've known, he's to smart for that.

I keep running up the stairs and find familiar shoes running past me. Shies I'd seen somewhere in my Physical Education class. Maybe Percy 12 had an evil twin?

I continue to run up the stairs until I see the last door at the very top. I slam open the door and load my gun with a specialized bullet, where the bullet cant go through the skin entirely, it pierces the skin and has a serum to have someone go unconscious.

"Get on the ground now or face the consequences you delinquents!" My eyes dart around the room as I see Marcius 8 M, a man with black hair in his Late thirties and a boy who looks like percy 12 wearing a black mask with teeth and breathing structures, small cylinders on the sides.

His eyes are sympathetic and caring, like Percy 12's, as he slowly gets on the ground. What seems to be his caregiver and Marcius 8 M stay standing around Felon.

"Emmarly Itsen, what a nice surprise, finally caught up to us? You've solved hundreds of cases, yet still cant catch your greatest enemy? Cute." Marius walked around me with his hands behind his back, making me feel smaller and uneasy.

"I- I'm doing the best I can, you deviant. Catching villains isn't easy! And you have no room to talk Mr. 8 M when you've been inactive for years." I point the gun at his chest, ready to lash out at any moment.
"Besides, you even said it yourself, I've solved hundreds of cases. And I've just proved you wrong, I have him down on the ground. I've won. And i will continue to succeed by interrogating all three of you. I'll see you back at my base." I shoot the two standing men in the legs before they have a chance to react. My assistants come in to carry them away as I get Felon off the ground.

"Aren't you gonna shoot me too Ms. Itsen? I mean, like you said, you've won. I could be to dangerous if you dont shoot me too." His voice was a wave that washed over me, but I'm not giving him what he wants, no matter how seductive or persuasive he is.

"Sorry, that won't be possible Felon. But I am going to need you to remove your mask. Maybe then I'll shoot you."

"No can do, this mask only comes off with a recognition fingerprint. If you want this mask off, you'llhave to try a lot harder than that Emmarly." Was he flirting? EW NO HES HORRIBLE! I took his hands behind his back and walked him out of the Lair.

He calmly sat in the back of the Van, eerily watching his guardians to see if one of them would awake. He pushed his caregiver's face up with the tip of his shoe to see if his face was hurt in anyway.

"Yo Emmarly? Can I have my phone? I gotta text someone that I'm going to be late for school." He asked, sitting on his hands. "I swear I'll give it back right after."

I hand him his phone, keeping a close eye on him. He texts quickly and hands the phone back to me. My phone dings.

"Sorry Emmarly, you might have to find a different volleyball partner today. Might've gotten into some trouble hahah." A text from Percy 12. Wait.

"Percy 12?!" I shouted before he jumped off his hands and I felt a shoe print into my chest, knocking the wind out of me, and I fall unconscious. I can still hear everything though.

"Dad, wake up. I can get us out of here."

"Thanks Perce. Get up to the wheel and drop is off at the lair, after that, bring Young Emmarly back to her home and make sure she remembers none of this. You have the right smelling salt right?"

"Yeah, I stole it from Marcius 8 M. Hope you dont mind Marc."

"I dont mind at all boss, just uh... get me out of these ropes please."

"Percy 12 drive the van."

"On it!" I hear him shuffling up to the front seat.

My eyes start to flutter awake and I feel my senses start to come back. I look around but I cant get up. A heavy man sits on top of my back, and he leans up to get something. Ew that's... gross...
