Sebastian walked up to the man, unable to read his expression. He looked like he meant business but his plushiness reminded Sebastian of Santa Claus.

"Excuse me, Sir" the man called out. "Are you Sam?"

Sebastian was surprised that this man knew who he was. "Uh, yeah. That's me. And you are?"

"My name is Sal. I used to work with your father." He said shaking Sebastians hand. "I wish he could see the progress his friends have made. He would be proud."

The man started gathering Sebastians stuff and loaded it into his car. "Uh, where are we going, exactly?"

"Somewhere secluded. They might be watching." He whispered the last part. Sebastian realized that he was talking about the Twins, so he helped load up.

When they were done, Sebastian got into the car with Sal and they drove off again.

"So you knew my dad?" Sebastian asked curiously.

"Yes. Me and him worked together for ages. When we were kids, we weren't close, but we did have the mindset. Those who were close was his four friends. I was just around. But I saw him at his best.

"Speaking of kids, I haven't seen you since you were only a couple of months old."

"Really? Wow." Sebastian was surprised to know that this guy was with his dad back then. But how much older was he compared to Sebastians dad? "So how did you know what happened to my dad?"

"I was emailed." He chuckled. "That computer in your secret room, my design. Of course, I didn't make it, that's a different story for a different time, I was the one who mapped it all out.

"Anyways, the computer notified me what happened and what your were going to do next."

Realizing that Jakkai had probably planned this all out before hand, Sebastian asked, "Well, what are we going to do?"

The man went silent but he had a little smirk form.

"Come on!" Sebastian was nervous. "I have to know!"

They eventually reached a small town. There were no skyscrapers like Sebastian was used to, but instead small buildings. The streets weren't​ packed at all and Sebastian could actually see the sidewalk and the front doors of buildings. There were only a few people on the sidewalks and a couple of other people driving by. They pulled up to a parking lot building and drove in to park.

They got all of Sebastians stuff and went to an elevator, even though they were just on the second floor. The floors were basically empty with only a few cars parked. When the reached inside, Sal pushed two buttons at once. The top floor button and the very last button.

The elevator went down. "Where are we going​?"

Sal's smirk grew. "Safehouse."

The two finally reached a floor that led to a dark hallway. They went down the hallway and elevator returned back to it's original place. They reached a giant metal door and Sal had to punch in a code in a key pad to open it up. The room on the other side looked like a rich person's house was taken over by a pore person.

The floor in the center of the room dipped in, creating a small, cubed shaped crater. There were fancy figurines and pictures, but some of the lights were out and there were clothes laying around. There was a doorway on the left and right.

Sal led Sebastian to the left and they went into a long hallway. Sebastian was following Sal all the way to the far end of the hall, and was led into a small bedroom.

"This is your room." He said placing Sebastians stuff on a twin bed right next to the doorway, still smirking. "You should be staying here for a couple of days, depending on how long it takes."

"What is it?" Sebastian asked.

Sal's smirk faded, and the room grew cold and intense. "We are going to teach you to fight fire with fire."
