Detective Brooks had been very busy that morning when he received the call from Theo Walton.

"Detective Brooks?" asked Theo when the detective finally answered.

"This is him. Who am I speaking with?" he asked.

"This is Theo Walton."

"Theo Walton? I don't understand why someone like you would be calling me."

"I suppose you haven't been watching the news lately," said Theo.

"I'm not a man of show business, Mr. Walton," said Detective Brooks.

"The news channel," Theo suggested.

Detective Brooks grabbed the TV remote and turned it on, tuning into the channel Theo was suggesting.

On the TV, a very beautiful reporter was urgently delivering breaking news. The images showed the San Luis station and the people who had witnessed Jack's terrible terrorist act.

There was also an extra report covering the people attending the wake of the millionaire rancher. Coincidentally, the cameras had caught the culprit’s face, and he was now fully identified.

"His name is Jack Stanton. He is very dangerous

    Jack’s reflexes and skills had noticeably improved. He immediately realized he was much faster and that his body felt as light as a feather. It took no effort for him to land on his feet in Mr. Sprinter’s garden without injuring his ankles. Even so, he was still too weak to face Theo. He also knew perfectly well that he wasn't invisible. Bullets could easily kill him, and the window glass had slightly cut some parts of his skin. That was why he kept running and didn’t confront the police.“He’s fleeing east,” said one of the officers as he watched Jack run between the houses.“Set up a perimeter around the entire neighborhood. We can’t let him get away,” Detective Brooks ordered a few miles away through the handheld radio.Detective Brooks had just been appointed as the lead on the Jack Stanton case and was now responsible for capturing him, dead or alive. His sole job was to stop the madman who was wreaking havoc across the city.Jack kept running in random directions, fully aware th

    Pomi was heading back to his home under that bridge after spending the whole day rummaging through the city's trash containers. It was already night, and the poor homeless man pushed a shopping cart while whistling a catchy tune.That’s when he got the fright of his life. Seeing Jack standing there by the fire almost gave him a heart attack. He clutched his chest to calm his racing heart."What the hell are you doing here? Trying to scare me to death?" Pomi asked with his slow, slurred voice."I need you to let me stay one more night," Jack said, shivering from the cold as he held out his hands toward the fire burning inside the metal barrel."Oh, Jack..." Pomi walked a little and sat on his makeshift cardboard bed. "Mi casa es tu casa. You can stay as long as you want," he said in a tired voice after a deep sigh."Thanks! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it," Jack said, still trembling.At that very moment, his stomach growled so loudly that even Pomi, several meters away, hear

    One month had passed since Jack fled the Walton mansion. The yellow alert and arrest warrant kept appearing on every television screen across the city. Although the media coverage of Jack’s case gradually decreased in intensity, the reports and warnings were still present.However, no one had managed to find Jack, even though he was the most wanted man in the country. He had become an expert at hiding and remaining invisible.Thus, the city’s inhabitants slowly returned to their normal lives, accepting that a madman was roaming their streets.But there was one person who never stopped searching. Theo Walton continued his hunt for Jack with the same relentless intensity."It can't be that you haven't been able to find a damn homeless man in a terrified city," Theo yelled at his men."We've done everything within our reach, sir," responded the head of security."Then I want you to give more, much more. That bastard must be out there somewhere. It's impossible for him to have vanished in

    The policeman clutched at his throat in desperation as he realized he couldn't breathe and was choking on his own blood. It only took a couple of minutes for him to die and collapse onto the floor of Pomi's house, completely motionless."Are you okay?" Jack asked as he threw the piece of glass as far away as he could."Jack? Is it really you?" Pomi asked with excitement, though his eyes were looking in a different direction from where Jack was actually standing."Are you really blind? How did that happen?"Jack began searching the policeman's corpse for anything useful."It happened a couple of weeks ago, I guess. I just started seeing blurry, and then I couldn't see anything," Pomi explained."That's really bad luck," Jack said.Jack checked the policeman’s pockets but found nothing useful. He only took the pistol and the radio to eavesdrop on the other officers without them knowing."The pain is getting stronger and more constant. I guess it's because the tumor reached my brain."Ja

    Jack was sitting on the ledge of a very tall building. From there, he stared intently at the Walton mansion and began devising a plan to enter without Theo’s guards killing him before reaching the private office.RADIO STATIC SOUNDThe radio Jack had taken from the policeman he killed suddenly crackled to life."Officer Ramirez... Come in, Ramirez."Jack immediately recognized the voice of Detective Brooks. It was him speaking through the radio."Does anyone know anything about Officer Ramirez?" asked Detective Brooks, having no idea that Jack Stanton was listening to everything they said."He hasn't returned since last night," said another officer."He stayed at the Kennedy Bridge to carry out the order you gave him, sir," said yet another officer."Is anyone near the Kennedy Bridge? I need someone to go there and make sure Ramirez is alright," ordered Detective Brooks."I'm very close... I'll go," said an officer who was patrolling that area.A few minutes passed, and the radio fell

    Theo Walton's room was a complete mess, with the millionaire's clothes scattered all over the floor. He had spent a night full of sex alongside Alexandra Lemar — the woman everyone was obsessed with, one of the most coveted in the entire country. She was now completely naked and asleep on one side of his bed.At that moment, Theo felt untouchable. He felt like he was at the top of the world, with no one to rival him. He had multiplied the Walton family's fortune to astronomical amounts never before seen by any millionaire. He had also managed to make people forget the legacy of his brother Ricco, and see him instead as the strongest and most respectable Walton.His cellphone started to ring. It was an incoming call. The phone screen lit up, illuminating the dark room.Theo got up completely naked and walked over to where he had left his phone. His body was now much more muscular and defined. The challenges and skills he had gained through the system had turned him into a very strong a

    The main entrance of the Walton mansion had become a strategic zone to stop Jack. It was like a war zone where every necessary move was planned in case of a possible attack.The area was guarded by Theo’s head of security, and they had specific orders to report any type of anomaly during their watch.The head of security and another escort were responsible for maintaining order at the surveillance posts. This way, they reduced the possibility of an attack."All internal posts are in order. I’ll start checking the external posts around the mansion," said one of the escorts while handling a military radio."Very well," said Theo’s head of security, standing behind his colleague."East post, report your status," said the escort through the radio."All clear," responded the east post through static noise."South post, report your status.""All clear," responded the south post."North post, report your status."However, there was no response from the north post."North post, respond," the

Theo’s bodyguards began shooting into the darkness and the torrential rain pouring down on their heads like a flood.Jack could only hear the gunfire and see brief flashes of light left behind by the bullets flying in all directions. He could also hear the buzzing of the bullets as they whizzed past him. The Walton mansion had turned into a true battlefield.Still, Jack wasn't going to stop. He kept running, taking advantage of his new speed to try and dodge some of the bullets fired by the guards.Or at least that’s what he thought.

    Rex watched in horror as the news reported the death of an elderly man in a nursing home very close to where he lived. He was walking straight to Kloe’s house and took the opportunity to check his social media. Detective Brooks's name was trending, as he was an old-time hero being honored throughout the city.He put his phone in his pocket and got ready to jump over the wooden fence surrounding Kloe’s house. He climbed up and jumped, landing on the garden lawn while holding a bag in his hand. The bag was plastic and protected the clothes inside.He started looking for small rocks all over the garden and began throwing them at the second-floor window. That was the window to Kloe’s bedroom. So it didn’t take long for her to open it.“Rex?” whispered Kloe, trying not to let her parents hear her.“Are you masturbating?” joked Rex.“Shut up, you idiot! They’re going to hear you!”Rex mocked the movements of a woman masturbating and having an orgasm.“Stop being such an idiot and help me do

    Kloe Ford opened her eyes after sleeping for two hours, having stayed up late crying over her breakup with Alec.She looked at the clock on the nightstand next to her bed and realized she only had fifteen minutes to get to school.“Damn it!”She got up quickly and started running to avoid being late.“Where are my shoes?” she asked herself while hopping on one foot and trying to put on pants with the other, but she lost her balance and fell to the floor.“Kloe? Are you okay?” her mother called from the kitchen after hearing the thud.“Yes, Mom!” Kloe replied from the floor. “I’m a mess,” she whispered to herself.“Rex just got here!” her mother announced.“That’s fine, Mom. Just don’t tell him to come up,” Kloe said—too late.“I told him he could come up to your room!” her mother yelled.“Mom, no!”Kloe jumped to her feet, but she couldn’t stop Rex from rushing into her room and catching her in her underwear.“Rex!” Kloe yelled, covering herself.“I didn’t see anything!

Home sweet home!” said Detective Stranger, pushing Jack’s wheelchair.“It’s... It’s... Beautiful,” said Jack in a tired, worn-out voice, as if he were suffocating.“It was an honor to meet such a famous person from 50 years ago. I wish you the best of luck,” said Detective Stranger kindly.Jack noticed that this man was truly kind. At last, a good man was holding the city's detective position. He was very different from Detective Brooks of 50 years ago.The city had changed a lot in those 50 years. There were many more buildings, and the cars were far more advanced and high-tech. However, life in the city still held the same essence as always.The poor still had to remain poor so that the rich and powerful could maintain their privileged position.Many might have thought that by now we’d be traveling in flying

    “My father? What could you possibly know about my father?” Jack asked with suspicion.“Carl Stanton is the one who locked us in this place,” Josh confessed.“Just put that spoon down and let’s talk for a bit,” Bob requested.Jack finally felt curious about what those old men were saying. Clearly, they weren’t crazy as he had thought. They weren’t deranged killers like the media had made the world believe.He slowly lowered the spoon and decided to trust those three complete strangers he had never seen before.“Good heavens,” Aaron exclaimed.“I’m too old for this,” said Bob, placing a hand on his chest in relief.“Who are you? And how did you end up locked in this place?” Jack asked, eager to get to the bottom of the mystery.“We’ve got a lot to talk about, kid. We’d better head to the garden,” Josh said kindly.Jack agreed and left the bathroom with the three men, walking to the gardens to sit and talk calmly.“I’m glad you didn’t kill us,” Josh said as he sat down.“You wouldn’t hav

    The next day, the door opened and a nurse named Dick, according to his badge, entered the room. He was an overweight teenager in a foul mood, constantly showing his anger through arched eyebrows and a hateful stare.“Bath time,” said Dick, clearly annoyed.Dick hated his job, but he couldn’t quit. It was the only way to pay for his studies.“I could swear I heard you couldn’t walk,” Dick said when he saw Jack get out of bed on his own.Jack stood in the middle of the room, waiting for Dick to make a move to try to bathe him.Dick tried to grab Jack, but Jack quickly stepped aside. A slight turn was all it took to dodge the out-of-shape overweight teen.“Don’t move. I have to take you to the showers,” insisted Dick.“You and how many more?” Jack asked, speaking in a muffled voice through the muzzle that completely covered his mouth.Dick stepped back slightly to press his manual alarm. All the nurses carried one in their pockets and triggered it in case of trouble.Immediately, three b

    The electric shocks had caused a decline in Jack. They had made him submissive and less aggressive. Since he arrived he was receiving an electric attack every time he raised his voice. It caused him to stop fighting and now he just obeyed every order Dr. Helix gave him to avoid further suffering. "Sit down!" said Dr. Helix pointing to a gurney where he wanted Jack to sit. Detective Brooks entered the office to be present that morning for the daily therapy Jack was to face. Jack sat submissively and quietly while dressed in a blue clinical gown. "Why did you remove his restraints?" asked Detective Brooks very concerned, "You have no idea how dangerous this patient can be," he exclaimed. "You have nothing to worry about, detective!", assured Dr. Helix as he raised his hand in a pausing manner to ask for the detective's calm. "He murdered 35 people. Of course I have to worry."

    In the dark hallway of the prison, the echo of Jack's screams of pain could be heard as he was tortured. All kinds of blows and punishments could be heard, intended to break his will before breaking the bones in his body. However, the mission was taking much longer than Detective Brooks had anticipated.Jack's eyes were swollen and bruised. His hair was completely soaked with sweat, and there was blood all over his body. By that point, it was extremely difficult for him to remain standing.Detective Brooks grabbed Jack's hair and lifted his head to stare directly into his eyes."Had enough?" he asked. "We can keep going all night if you want," he threatened.Jack spat out a large amount of blood from his mouth, along with some teeth that bounced across the interrogation room floor."I didn’t do it!"Jack shouted furiously, looking straight at Detective Brooks, holding his gaze without fear."Oh, Jack!
