The Forgotten One

The Ugly Truth

The clouds casts a shadow over the car, darkening its roof. Adrian know he had found what he was seeking. He closes the folder beside him and lays it on the passenger seat next to him. He starts his car, the engine roars as it wakes up, and the wheels spin forward. He decides to meet Wylie, for he know he was being discharged, before going to the department. It would be interesting to meet the man again, he thought. He really wanted to see what this man has hidden under his sleeve. How will he defend himself against the proof he just encountered?

He whirls back on the track to Wylie's house. Adrian had done a thorough check on his background before meeting the man himself, that day. He was clean, no offense throughout his life, no drug abuse or violations were filed on his name. He had been born in a prominent family, studied in a renowned private school and had earned a fine degree and position when he graduated. A year later, he entered a highly famed university and began studying criminology. He was known to be a hardworking and earnest man, as the detective heard from his colleagues and professors. He had graduated in the top position and even broke the record of the highest grade ever earned in the university. At the age of twenty-one, he decided to enter the Federal Bureau of Information, he was approved and his training started in a few months, when suddenly this incident happened. He was known to be a polyglot, he spoke 7 languages perfectly. He had also trained himself in various martial arts: kung-fu, karate, taekwondo, tai chi, ju-jutsu, judo and many others, when he was younger, many said he took this as his hobby. Yet, others said he was training himself to fight a foe from the past. Nevertheless, he was known as an avid reader and would spend much of his time reading after training himself. He didn't have any close relationships during his life. His uncle was also questioned and he said that he was a beautiful young man, who was very fond of his parents, and very rarely arguments arose. In short, this man was perfect. This part kept ticking the detective as he knew that everyone has a dark secret, and this man was no exception.

Everyone has an ugly truth, they try to hide. Humans are like onions, he thought, filled with layers, the top layers were just a masquerade, a mask, to befool the ones who see them making them believe that what they see is their true form. While hidden in the last or deepest layers are the secrets they keep under chains until something provokes them to expose it and he knew he had evidence to provoke this man. During his career, he has seen countless criminals and killers trying hard to keep these secrets confined deep in the shadows. But he had his ways, to make them sprout the truth, and he never failed. He was given a title due to his expertise in knowing how to turn them into shambles. He is known as "The Breaker". His calmful talk and swift ways would shatter even the hardest rock and pulverize it. He loved to break his enemies' character apart, leaving them hopeless and in regret. Their true nature shows them how weak they really are. These monsters who think of themselves as superior are the most lowly beings to ever exist. But, today, he knew he is meeting a foe much more cunning than him, someone who has really planned it all through. An enemy who has the ability to turn the tables. He smirks at the thought of meeting a powerful enemy yet the challenge made it much more captivating. He smiles at the thought of the upcoming battle of wits and says: "This will be fun."
