(Aiden's view)

It's 7:30 a.m.
I wake up in the Owl Motel, where I've live for about one year.
In the room, there are a bed, a wooden table, and a wall full of pictures.
The table is in the middle of the room.
I do my searching every night with the computer on the table.
After doing searching, yesterday, I had a bad dream.
I dreamed about that tragedy...
I drove Lena to Pawnee. On the way to there, a strange man on a motorbike showed up, and shoot my car tire.
It makes the car overturn and I remain unconscious.
I rouse up with sweat around my face and neck.
Day after day, this dream comes over to me every time...

A phone ring pulls me up to the reality.

It's Damien. Great, I'm gonna get revenge from him.
It's time to end this.
"Aiden, we had a very unpleasant meeting." Damien says.
I don't know what he wants this time, and I don't have time to play with him.
"Well, I didn't kill you." I reply directly that I don't have the mood to discuss.
"We used to get along. I taught you so much. Look at you, a big time hacker now. Is that you in the news? The vigilante." He says.
"You mentioned a second hacker at the Merlaut job. But we already knew there was another hacker. You found something new." I says.
"Ahh. Intriguing, isn't it? Come, let's meet and I'll explain." He suggests.
"Tell me. Then I'll consider meeting." I don't want to see his face again.
"Oh no. My information, my rules. Besides, we need to make up for last time." He insists on meeting face to face.
I stay silence.
"I'm very excited, Aiden. Come soon." He hangs up the phone.

I go down stairs and drive to the Wacker Street. He sent me the address and asked me to meet there.
I need to make this quick. Damien's pride is his weak point. Just play it up. Convince him to say what he knows. Then drop him. He's too neckless, too dangerous.

I stand beside the river bank, but don't see Damien. What the hell, if he doesn't appear in one minute, I'll go then.
No, I can't just walk away. I need to find out what he knows and the other hacker...
I pick up my phone and call Damien.

"Where are you?" I ask impatiently.
"I don't think you're going to like my answer." He says.
"You know what, forget it. I don't need whatever you've got. You've brought me nothing but trouble. We're done talking." I say. I don't really mean that but I want to let him know who is the controller in this situation.
It's he needs me, I don't need him.

"Oh too late, Aiden. You won't believe where I am. Never mind, I'll send you the feed. Find a TV and have a look." He says.
What does he mean? I look around and find a wide television on the building wall.

I see a man in the TV, and the man is in a house... Why the kitchen is so familiar to me...?
I almost drop my phone while I recognize the place where the man's standing.
"That's Nicky's house! What are you doing!?" The most terrible thing right now is not the house. The man in the TV is Damien!!
"You should hurry, my boy. Your pretty sister needs you." He hangs up the phone after finishing his sentence.
"Damien!!!!!" I scream out and freak out.
I can't believe he did this!! How dare he did such inferior thing!?

I turn around and rush to the street, find my car and drive to Nicky's house rapidly.
He played me! That son of a bitch played me and I let him. What's he doing at Nicky's? No, he won't hurt them. I'll kill him if he touches them. He has to know that. No, he's trying to draw me there. He wants me to work with him. Find the guys who attacked us.
Fuck that.
I need to take him down.

Suddenly, I remember that Tiffany has to meet Nicky this morning. Oh no, did Damien took her, too!?
I pick up my phone and call Tiffany.
Come on, pick up!
"Hey, Aiden!! I want to ask you...." She is alright! But I need to warn her first.
"Tiffany, don't go to Nicky's house! She's in danger now. Go back to your house and hide! Wait for me." I keep saying, "Don't go out and keep hiding. I'm afraid that he will hurt another one."
"Oh my god... But... Who did this?" She asks me.
"It's Damien." I tell the truth cause I can't think carefully right now.
"Ok, please be careful! Don't let him hurt you again. If you need anything, just call me, ok?" She says.
"I'll call you back. Take care." I say and hang up the phone.
In order to reach there as fast as possible, I use my phone to hack in the traffic light. I turn the red light to green light without causing any accident.
