The news about the murder of Dimdelt by a mixed group between hybrids and humans, and to top it off with the main suspect being a member of Cilt, were a strong reason for debate, as many related Cilt to crime and began to make theories about if this was, from a warning, to an act of war, the drama was such that it even reached the ears of the inhabitants of the city.
That same night ... In the place where the squadron of hunters No. 23 trained, an squadron that included Brigitte, Aegis and Gilliam.
"This is ridiculous!" -Aegis threw with his mouth the newspaper that Brigitte had just read- "Are they blaming us for killing someone just because that group of murderers had Vortexs and humans?"
"I'm not surprised, coming from them..." -Brigitte was sitting with her hands folded, also upset by the news- "... Since they want to pretend to be always right, they throw the garbage at another city, not a surprise coming from that Metropolis... What worries me is that Chase was there ... Do you really think that's true? "
"To be sincere, I hope so." -The very new leader of the squad was present: A caramel red Chevrolet Corvette C6 with hunter and warrior ranks at the door- "... Because that means he's alive"
The Corvette had been Chase's partner and mentor, and the news drew a small smile on his face after confirming that the young hunter was alive.
"I wish I could be next to him right now ... I know they will soon run out of evidence to frame him, but he must be having a hard time in prison."
"No doubt about that..." -Brigitte looks at Acer- "... But its a relief to know that he will return ... What worries me the most is the real killer ..."
"It's true ... don't you think it's a bit weird?" -Aegis looks at Brigitte- "Sounds like what happened to us the other day"
"You're right ... Another attack made by Vortexs and humans ..." -Brigitte looked at the newspaper on the floor, thoughtful- "(Dimdelt ... Why that name sounds so familiar? ... I would swear to have heard it before) "
"Well, I guess we should be more alert than usual, if this really becomes something even more serious" -The Corvette looks towards the abandoned street that was near the park where they were, it was a large park, with many trees and slopes , perfect for training and bonfires, like the one that were ignited by the squad to warm up- "... The warriors have also been extremely cautious lately ..."
The Corvette, called Acer, was an ex-hunter who had decided to become a warrior by feeling more comfortable with them, but upon hearing about the loss suffered by the squad he had once led, he decided to offer himself as a replacement for Brigitte to help them temporarily.
"Don't worry, if we secure the hunting areas more cautiously, we should be able to prevent it from happening again" -While Brigitte spoke, the young woman noticed that someone wasn't present- "By the way ... Where is Gilliam?"
Aegis sighed and looked at the street.
"As soon as we finished training, Gilliam said he had to go get something he left at home ... Although I thought he would come back at least to be with us at the campfire"
"... I see ..." -Brigitte looks at the street too, thoughtfully, it was quite unusual for Gilliam to leave so abruptly.
But Gilliam wasn't at home, or anywhere inside Cilt ... He was in a rather remote place, hidden among the trees with his camouflaged clothes and his bow on his back, as he watched the police and investigators enter and leave the same house where Mr. Dimdelt had been killed.
Gilliam analyzed the way in which the guards patrolled the perimeter, and entered the great house while hearing how a lightning echoed in the sky, announcing the rain that was about to begin.
