In Times Square at Starr Industries, A large 40 story skyscraper, Jason enters the lobby walking past 3 security guards that watch him like Hawks. Jay walks up to the reception desk to see Carly Reed sitting behind it, A person watches Jason from afar. Carly: A short beautiful slim middle-aged Dungorian woman w/ black scaly skin, low cut seafoam green hair, neon blue eyes, transparent wings & 6 arms and 6 legs stares at her 3 holo comp screens. She curiously said Welcome to Starr Industries how can I help you?, Jason said Hi Carly it's Jason long time no see Luv I need to see Silas he in?, Carly said don't know who the fuck you're but you've some nerve! pretending to be my dead friend. Either you get the fuck out of here and quit bein a Gunk or security over their will escort you out Rumble in the Bronx style your choice. Jason said Carly it's me Jason you were my parents secretary for 14 years you used to babysit me and Tommy. Carly seriously said not buyin the shit you're trying to sell me pal Rumble in the Bronx style it is my friend is dead!!! as she taps a button under her desk. 3 muscular Slothian man walk up to Jay Man#1 seriously said Sir can you please come with us?, Jason assuredly said can you lot fuck off I'm not goin anywhere until I talk to Silas Mason he's why I'm here.

Guard #1 seriously said LETS GO as he tightly grabs Jay's left arm, Jason seriously said get the fuck off me! before I hurt y'all, Guard's 2 and 3 laugh, Jason laughs as he hardly punches guard #1 in his throat bringing him to his knees as Jason quickly spin kicks him in the face knocking him out cold on the floor. Guards 2 & 3 run at Jason, he pulls out his pen quickly clicking its top as it transforms into his bo-staff, he quickly leg sweeps guard #2 with it then jabs #3 in his chest repeatedly before smacking him in the face with it 3 times knocking him out. Jason clicks his pen again transforming his bo-staff back into his pen he tiredly says I'm here to, loud clapping echoes throughout the lobby.  A man's voice assuredly says well well well That was quite a show still resourceful as ever I see, Carly don't bother calling the cops he's not some strung out dreg pretending to be Mr.Riley. I'd know that look of disdain for me anywhere he's the genuine article, If the press askes about this tell them the usual. Silas Mason: a tall bearded muscular middle-aged Caucasian man w/ short brown hair, dark blue eyes descends on a hexagonal shaped elevator pad wearing a silk black/white 3 piece suit. He walks up to Jay and assuredly said he's family after all and Carly you know what we say about family here at S.I, we always look after our family follow me Jason we've a lot to discuss.

On floor 40 Silas enters his office with Jason, a large exquisite office filled with marble statues of Silas, holo pics of Silas with famous and influential people, a large steel bookshelf full of books, multiple newssheets about Starr Industries line the walls. Silas sits atop his desk as Jason sits in front of him via chair, Silas said I'll be damned the prodigal son returned, ya know when I saw the news reports and read the news-sheets I thought it was a hoax some kind of Visual hallucination, some lie being spread by those fuckin tabloids. But as soon as I saw you enter the building on the cams I knew, of all the fuckers In your family to survive the accident it had to be you.

He said ya know for all our differences, I truly loved and admired your parents they were the best this city had to offer. I'm sorry for your loss, but the old guard had to change eventually. I see a lot of myself in you cunning, charming but most of all a survivor not nearly as handsome as me though. But you're what you're Nothin but a Fuckin Strat and no amount of fancy suits or fancy education will ever change that. Why're you here? as he stares at Jason with curiosity in his eyes, Jason said stroke your own dick much, why hasn't S-1 been found? it has an. Silas Interrupts Jay and assuredly said emergency operating system and a Lithium core I know our best techies have been searching for 6 months and they've jack shit 'Sides S.I has more important things to focus on then finding S-1 this is my company now and things have changed.

Jason loudly said this Isn't your company! My parents started this company they founded it Not you!, Silas said yeah so fuckin what in the event of their death's all power over this company and it's subsidiaries as well as all shares goes to the companies Vice president. And that's yours truly so until you or your brother Thomas turn 18 this company is my fuckin cash cow and I'll do with it whatever I see fit. Jason seriously said you can't do this! this is my parents legacy!! they bled for this company, put everything they had into it I won't let you fuck it up and pervert their legacy like this.  I read the newssheets on the way over here you're using this company to make weapons!!! you're using my fathers inventions my inventions for destruction!!,War!. This company stands for hope, protection, For peace you can't do this Silas!, Silas assuredly said I can do whatever the fuck I want! the board gave me full control along with your parents when they died. Your parents approach to helping the world was trying to help it one person at a time that isn't how money gets made Your parents died for this company like you and your brother should've. Jason lunges at Silas pinning him down on his desk, as he holds his pen to his throat tapping it twice as it transforms into a dagger as he holds it to Silas's Jugular.

Jay seriously said if you even think you're gonna get away with using my parents company like this you're fuckin wrong, I won't let you!! Silas laughs as he seriously said You're in over your head boy! all the inventions created on this property are mine, And I'm gonna use them for whatever the fuck I want and there's NOTHING you can do to stop me. You've no power I do! If you even think about crossing me I'll bury you next to your parents wherever they're. Then your little brother Tommy and of course how could I forget Michael I'll grab him too make it a full set. He evilly laughs, Jay hardly punches Silas in his face with a left hook then wraps his hands around his throat, Choking him tightly Jason angrily said If you ever try to hurt my family I'll fuckin' kill you and no one will be able to protect you from me NO ONE as he slowly lets Silas go. Silas strugglingly said You... got no... Fuckin' idea what you've just done Jason reverts his pen back to normal, Silas's office doors open remotely as Jason sees James standing next to Carly, James stares at Silas then Jason he curiously said there a problem here? what's goin on here Mr. Mason?. Silas lyingly said nothing at all Detective Macaroni Me and Jason were just talkin Isn't that right Jason?, Jason lyingly said yea that's right I'll see you around Detective Macaroni, James curiously said what happened to your face Mr. Mason?. As he curiously stares at Jason, Silas lyingly said one of the books on my bookshelf hit me in the face when I was moving it Detective what brings you by? Carly didn't notify me you were comin if she did I'd have put out some charcuterie boards and a few glasses of Richard's '44 malt scotch for ya.

James assuredly said thanks for the thought, but I'm shiv I'm here to ask you a few more questions about The Starr's if you've time. Silas assuredly said I already told you all I know Detective I can't chat I've a meeting with General Edward Kane in Coral Cove upstate I really must be on my way sorry. James assuredly said no apologies needed I'm just here for a follow up We weren't able to confirm your alibi the night The Starr's disappeared so have a seat ,this'll only take a few minutes Mr. Riley I'll be seeing you soon as he watches Jay walk out Silas's office.
