The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

Matt Carter couldn't help but reminisce the past since today was the same date when he first met that girl. When he heard the news that his friend was killed, he felt devastated.

He somehow knew that the Dark Knight Organization was the one responsible for that murder. Matt was consumed by his guilt. He thought it was his fault that's why his innocent friend was killed.

What was more depressing was that he learned that even her child was not spared. They also killed the poor child along with his mother. He blamed himself for that. Matt thought of a way how he would be able to get his revenge against the Dark Knight Organization.

He told himself that he would reveal to the authorities that bio-weapon facilities were being operated in their country. The Dark Knight should be punished for their crimes.

But it took him five years before he was able to find the opportunity to ask the police authority. He worked hard to gain the trust of the Dark Lord. He told him that he won't do anything because the Dark Lord was holding his family as his hostage.

He pretended to be obedient to him so that the Dark Lord won't be strict towards him. Before, the Dark Lord assigned men to always keep an eye on him. He couldn't move freely if people were watching his every move.

It took him five years to finally get his so-called freedom, wherein he could stroll around the city alone without bodyguards nor Dark Knight's men who were watching him.

Then he started to implement his plan. He looked for a trustworthy man in the police department who was not a member of the Dark Knight Organization. He already learned his lesson. The Dark Knight had lots of spies. They were everywhere, hiding in their masks, pretending to be good men.

It was hard for him to find a clean man who was not connected to any syndicates nor part of the Dark Knight's spies. Then one day he met someone, a very respectable and skillful man in the field of crime investigation. A man with a good heart, a true man of the law.

He befriended him first to make sure that he was the right person he was looking for. That policeman easily gained and won his trust. He started to share the secrets of the bio-weapon facility with that person.

The policeman also believed him. So Matt Carter became a whistleblower once again. He asked him for protection. The policeman promised him that he would protect him as well as his family.

The two of them met secretly several times, sharing information with each other. Matt even gave the man a sample of bio-weapon as well as the antidote.

Matt Carter was still in the middle of reminiscing the past when he remembered something. He went to his attic to get something. It was a square old wooden box that contained some of his belongings from the past.

He wiped it clean first because it became dusty. It's been a long time since the last time he opened this box. It contained memories and memorabilia of his friend who was murdered by the Dark Knight.

There were several objects inside. He picked up the small size photo album. He scanned it. His lips curled up into a faint smile when he saw his picture together with his friend while wearing their laboratory gown.

The girl wanted to learn from him so she brought a camera and took a video of the process of making those bio-weapons. At first, she had no idea that bio-weapon. She just thought Matt was just experimenting with the microorganism to cure some diseases.

If they were on break, the girl would ask him to take pictures of them together as a remembrance. Matt didn't mind it so he allowed it. The girl gave this photo album to him as a gift on the day she submitted her resignation letter to her manager.

He continued scanning the photo album up to the last page. Then he found something familiar. On the last page, there was a picture of a family of three. 

Then he remembered that his friend talked about her family and introduced them to him through the picture, her son and her husband. She even wrote the name of her son and husband on the picture using a pen.

His eyes widened upon reading the name of his friend's husband.

[ Lester Morgan ] 

"Lester Morgan?! I heard it just a few days ago." Mr. Carter fixed his eyes on the photo of the man beside his friend.

"Huh? Wait. I remembered. In the hospital! Elle's foster father, his name is Lester Morgan. Oh my God, don't tell me he is the husband of Beatrice!"

Mr. Carter moved his gaze back to the picture as he recalled the face of Phantom. "Damn! They are look-alike. He just became older now but their facial features and structures are the same."

"There's no doubt! Elle's foster father is Beatrice's husband! What a great coincidence is this? I've been searching for him for a long time now. I almost forgot about him because I was busy escaping from the grasp of the Dark Knight Organization!"

"I have to talk to him! He needed to know the truth about his wife's death! I believe until now he didn't know the reason why his wife was murdered!"

With that thought in mind, Mr. Carter immediately picked up his phone and dialed Erick's number. The call went through right away.

Erick: "Hello, Mr. Carter?"

Mr. Carter: "Erick, do you have the cellphone number of your father-in-law?"

Erick: "No, but Elle has it."

Mr. Carter: "Can you ask Elle to send me his number? I need to talk to him. It's very important."

Erick: "Alright, Mr. Carter. I will inform Elle. Oh, she's here."

Then he heard Erick asking Elle about Phantom's contact number. Elle immediately sent it to Mr. Carter. He thanked the husband and wife before hanging up the phone. He called Phantom, asking him to meet in his place.

Unknown to Mr. Carter, his place was now being monitored by the elite fighters of the Dark Knight Organization. It's just a matter of time before they would barge in to capture him.
