"Is he still alive?"

Shin gestures to the body of the doctor in the seat. "He lasted surprisingly long for someone that screamed a lot and told me even less. I don't know where they get these fuckers but I couldn't get much out of him."

The corpse in the chair... there is nothing human left. The nails are torn off on the fingers that weren't cut off. His legs are broken and bashed in with bone sticking through the side, a pool of dried blood just under his chair.

His face, yeah there isn't much of a face left. With parts of his skull sticking through.

"So we don't have much to go with?"

"Unfortunately, no." She then hands me something. "I only found a triangulation from his description of where you can find Pathos but he refused to tell me of other labs producing the drug."

"Some of the rats have had interesting responses."

I glance at her. "What?"

"Tested it obviously." She walks me towards the exit of the building. "The first person took a regular dossage and just experienced nausea, followed by delirium. He puked a little bit and then passed out. Woke up fine. Same for a woman that took the same doses."

"Okay, so it sounds pretty incomplete."

Shaking her head. "The drug only works when used in moderation. We let someone use it frequently and the results are pretty much the same. Changes are that the stages last longer, they don't puke it out anymore, and they become..."

"Yes?"

"Frivolous. Some sort of aphrodisiac in the mix of it that didn't get a chance to shin on the initial doses because of the potency. Probably an attempt to keep it inside you, get your body used to it and keep you in a drugged state."

"How long does it stay in your body?"

"I think long-term exposure can lead to a week for the body to get rid of the toxins naturally. The thing is that an overdose always runs the risk of putting the person into a vegetative state. None of the hostages they had were that badly affected."

We reach the outside of the building. I lock my eyes on the street as she continues. "If anyone gets hit by it, they will be fine for the most part but when it comes to fighting back? It would be easier to let whoever hit you with this drug have their way. You can't do anything."

I nod. "Thanks. This helps a lot."

I narrow my eyes at someone sitting in a car, watching us through his mirror. "I'll call the Agency to clean up this mess for us."

"You didn't already?"

"I don't like to work under pressure."

I nod. "Stay safe."

"Don't worry about me. All the people that want me dead, I personally made them watch me kill them." She walks away and hops into her car, I keep a note of the car before I get into my own vehicle to drive back.

Making a pit stop at a gas station. I head for the bathrooms after verifying that the person is following me. I hover around the door so that when he opens it he won't see me resting against the wall. I put on my gloves to make sure I don't start leaving traces of myself for the cops to find.

I wait for a couple of minutes only for the door to swing open with the man pulling a gun out from his belt. He glances over his shoulder at the door only to spot me.

I slam the gun out of his hand and hit him on his adam's apple with the side of my hand. He drops to his knees holding his throat trying to catch his breath while I disarm his gun and toss it in the waste disposal chute.

"Fucker-"

I walk up to him, lifting him to his feet I pull out my own gun and place the barrel under his jaw. "So the question is... who sent you? You are too stupid to be an agent so that leaves me with a black market killer or you are working for someone that wants to get rid of me."

He grabs my collar and brings me towards him to headbutt me, but I lift my arm between us and slam my elbow into his nose and the butt of my handgun to the side of his head.

"Agh, shit-"

"You don't know what I can do to you, do you?"

He stays quiet. I put my gun away and push him towards the sink, his back bends over it and I hit him in his abdomen. The moment he drops to his knees I place my knee into his jaw to hit him into the sink.

The porcelain basin breaks over with blood splattered over it.

"Wait-" he tries to speak through the lack of air in his lungs. I let him catch his breath as he lifts his hand to prevent me from coming closer. "Boss told me that I needed to scout you, watch your movements and if I see a chance to kill you."

I nod slowly. "Who?"

"I don't know his name-"

I slam his hand away and wrap my fingers around his throat, "I don't know who he is, all I know is that a guy named Elmar told us that the boss wants us to stalk you because they want to make a move!"

"Move?"

"Steal something. I don't know!"

I should wrap this up.

He quickly adds the moment I move to him. "They wanted us to pick something up and bring it with me after I finished here. Take my phone, there are GPS coordinates to a safehouse they use to house a lot of the shit we steal."

Shin should maybe learn from me; I joke as I pull out my gun. I shoot him in the head, the body recoils backwards with blood splattering over the mirrors. I rummage through his pockets and only take his phone.

I don't need anything else.

***   Kai'Sa POV   ***

I overslept. I lift myself out of my bed rubbing the sleep out of my sore eyes. It feels like I have been crying all night but I have been so busy running through the possibilities in my head that I don't know what I should do.

I should just ask for proof.

I can't believe it unless I know for certain.

The door opens with Jerico peeking around the corner, I force a smile out, "Hey, sweetie."

"Hey, gorgeous." He steps into the room with a bag in his hand. "Just went out with the boys to get us all something to eat, seeing as you were sleeping in a bit I was thinking maybe getting you something to drink with it as well but here's breakfast."

He hands me the bag and plops down beside me. "I really appreciate it." I put it on my lap, staring at it emptily.

I don't have an appetite.

"You probably missed it." I glance at him.

"Did something happen?"

He nods. "Bernard has been giving Akali an earful because she ended up sleeping with our bodyguard," he scoffs, "Or at least that is what Bernard is claiming happened."

I nod slowly. "What about Tony?" I ask, knowing that Akali doesn't want anything to do with him but I am scared that there might be a fight.

"Been dead quiet. Been actively avoiding Akali, actually." I keep my relief to myself. "I mean she can do what she wants but at least have a heart and not do it a day after she told Tony to practically go fuck himself."

I then add weakly. "We all are old enough to do what we want to, right?"
