A.L.E.N - Between Shadows (Chapter 2)

Act 9

While, at the same time, at the police station, Robert  sits in his office, an air of weariness evident in his tired but determined expression.

Papers and various documents are scattered across his desk, held firmly in his hands as he sifts through the information.

Despite the fatigue, his focus remains sharp, eyebrows furrowed in concentration as he diligently compares the descriptions provided, piecing together the puzzle of the mysterious man Alen.

Robert tired eyes narrow as he comes across a file containing information about a man who once worked in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Intrigued, Robert delves deeper into the details, connecting the dots between the Alen's past in the city and the events unfolding in Walfield.

Robert, fueled by curiosity, swiftly searches on his computer for information about the small historical town of Walfield.

To his surprise, he uncovers details about the mysterious man behind the mask, shedding light on a connection between the detective, Robert Rogers, and the mysterious enigmatic man in Walfield.

Robert reads a very interesting information about a long lost document from Raleigh, North Carolina , and he was speechless, "A mysterious man in his 30s identified by the name Alen [...] a corrupted man who suffered from two mental illnesses: schizophrenia and dyslexia. [...] With this information, Alexander has progressively worsened his mental and physical state, hidden under the mask, and commitment of uncontrolled and disturbed crimes that terrified locals there. [...] The man was gone, never to be found..." the document was old and dirty as some sentences were faded away.

However, the file reveals a relocation to a small town named Walfield, and the man's identity is unveiled as A.W (Alexander Walf) or dead name Alex, also known as Alen.

However, a little more details were there as Robert says, "Raleigh? Interesting, how Alen was smart enough on hiding his real identity under mask after all those years, however his heterochromia is different colored eyes in the same person, was the one thing visible, that some people could immediately identify the man."

Robert sighs surprised with a smile and then look serious at one part of the description from Hannah, and reads it again, "His head and face were also covered by what appeared to be an old sack with holes in it, the only thing that was visible were his eyes the however, I'm not sure if they were green or blue, at that time it was dark and rainy."

Surprised, Robert leans back in his chair, his mind whirling with thoughts. In a contemplative state, he mumbles, "Unbelievable. On what you are capable of, Alen, it's possible that this guy... Is hidden more than I thought."

The room is filled with a sense of intrigue and the weight of a mystery yet to be unraveled.

And immediately, Robert reaches for his phone, attempting to call his daughter. Aware to him, Alen, having Julie's phone, swiftly hangs up, leaving Robert surprised and a tad suspicious.

So, standing up and grabbing his coat, Robert decides to pay a visit. As he reaches for his phone, knowing that Alen has Julie's phone, as he replied with serious voice, "I know you have Ju's phone, and I will find you. You hear me?! You can't hide forever Al-..."

However, his inquiry is abruptly interrupted by a police officer urgently informing him that they need his immediate attention by saying, "Detective Robert, it's urgent... We need you here, immediately."

In shock, Robert quickly responds, "I'm on my way," and swiftly departs by looking at the document, "Hm? Didn't know that Alen has 'sister'. How interesting...," sighs and then leaves his office in a hurry.
