"Me. Bartender supposedly have a back door negotiation with the members of thinkers. But sadly, you already know. How it ended." 

"You cannot trust them. What are you thinking about our next move? " Mr. Mechanic could conceal his hatred.

"I am planning to hear a concert. With your respected prisoner. Did he still alive?" I gave Mr. Mechanic a curious look.

"Of course, he is. He is still breathing. I checked him, this morning." I see, wickedness in his smile.

"Breathing but not moving? What is the information? You got from him."

"Well, after some creative ways that I am employed on him. He gives us, some information that I believe is valuable to us."

" I still wanted to verify all the information. He gave us. Just to be sure."

" That's what I am thinking, too. But they are something that I believe you must give more of your attention."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Is what do they call Operation Eternity. Regnery Reginald has a secret laboratory. Where scientists are conducting secret experiments. Did you not believe in what we learned?"

"Please continue..." I have an idea where it is leading us.

" Their conducting experiment which aiming to discover a secret formula that can give Reginald, immortality."

"Immortality? Did you already checked this information?"

"Yes, I am. The names, he gave us are connected to Reginald. The huge amount of money spent has become clearer, now. " 

"Immortality? What is the latest development about their experiment?"

"They're already made capsules. That can prolong the life of Reginald but it is not perfect. It has side effects."

"Side effects. Now, I can fully understand where there is strength, coming from." It is Dean who now connected all puzzles of pieces. Little by little.

"What are the side effects of the capsule?"

"If Reginald could not take on time. He became helpless. He cannot move. That this secret laboratory is well-protected. Even his generals don't know, where it can be found."

"Interesting... What the other things, you got from him?"

"I think, we should act now. They are having experiments on babies. To unlock the mystery of death. "

" Are you saying that they conducting experiments on newborn babies?"

"Yes, I am. It's the main reason for his new policy. He just wanted to collect subjects for the experiment."

"It should be stopped, immediately. We need to get its exact location. We need to destroy it. To save the innocent children."

"What are you planning ?"

" I will have a date." I stand firmly on what I am thinking now. I am willing to sacrifice, all. To stop a monster, like him.

Regerry Reginald's Residence

They are having a party. The food and drinks keep flowing. They wearing elegant attire. They are celebrating the death of Mr. Mechanic.

" Give me a toast. As I promise we will crush the head of the visionary. Now, they already lost their leader. Be not surprised. Sooner or later. They will appear where they are hiding. Bowing in front of me. Begging for their life." Their all laughing. Fireworks are being fired in the skies.

"Long live, Atheos. Long live, his Excellency." There is now, chanting.

I am watching them. From him, room.

Later on, he enters his room.

I quickly grabbed him. From the back. The room is dark.

" Do not attempt to make any move. The knife I am holding. May slip in my hand. Cut your throat."

"Ishvi? I thought you are dead, already."

"How can be you so sure?"

"I am the one who shot you. At the back of your head." He is trembling in my hand.

" Now, the truth comes out in your mouth. Sorry to inform you. You don't win this time."

" What do you want from me?"

"I am here to inform you. That your dream will never come true. I will never beg my life. Tell your follower. This is, only the beginning. We will make you pay. Every one of your followers. I will get everything from you. You are the one, you will beg ."

Dean gave his signal. 

"Sorry. I need to leave now. But promise, I will come back. To get you."

He could not speak, anything. I vanish into the dark. A moment later. I can hear him, shouting.

"Guards, where are you?"

When the lights come out. They come to his aid. His visitors were surprised  He is sweating. His face is all red. A small wound can be seen, on his neck. A drop of blood is visible.

"The enemies are already here. But no one noticed. How irresponsible you are!?" I can hear his angry voice.

We safely leave the place. 

" You got what we want?

"Of course. I am. Thank you for giving me a minute."

"You never failed me. Do you want to send our gift, to the Atheos?"

"With all my heart." He pushed the switch.

An explosion can be heard. In the garage. The fire quickly spread The people panicked. I can see the military vehicles. There are running toward the direction, of  Reginald's Residence.

"How did know about the secret passage, to his residence?"

"I have my way."

" Until now. You are very secretive."

"I am just being careful. "

"Okay. I am trusting ."

" Time will come  I promise I will share it with you."

Conference hall of Visionary.

" I come back with great news," Dean announced the result of our covert operation.

" I got the missing piece for our puzzle." He is now showing the information, we stole from Reginald's office.

The group could not believe their eyes. The horrible images in front of them could no longer be made by humans. It was evidence. We are dealing now, with a monster.

" What's the next move?" Mr. Mechanic waiting for my order.

"A public execution. For your prisoner. I finally give him. His request." I know that Mr. Mechanic understands what I mean.

"How about the Atheos?" Dean is impatient.

"Eliminate them."
