The chaos is still visibly seen in the districts . The atmosphere is so tense in the streets that Alex could cut it with a knife . The public billboards all displaying the crash landing on the corporate building . Dozens of people , bystanders watching the news . A chaos of this magnitude has not occurred in over a decade . The proportion of the damage done begins to get to Alex . He quickly heads over to the car . The Boss has passed away last night or early in the morning . That was the information Alex had got . There was a question on everyone's mind .

What will happen tot he district ? The Future of it

Alex ignites the engine , and zooms away to the police station .

After what seems to be a very long drive , he enter his office and sits down .

He looks over the window of his cubicle , there seated quietly is Atticus

Atticus looks over to Alex , who immediately waves him in to his office

Atticus gets up from his chair and has a seat opposite to the chief

So Atticus , Alex says

I have a lot of my hands , with the death of the District boss and what not .

Atticus weaves a sigh of relief .

Alex leans over , and says . that does not mean I let you off easily

I have a few questions for you , says Alex as he leans back .

First of all , what bothers me is the manner of the death of your friend and a police Chris

That whole part of your story is shrouded in mystery .

Sir , I have furnsihed all the details i have . There is nothing more that I can add
Alex doesn't not reply at all . He just nods and turns his chair to the opposite direction
Atticus is seated firmly and finally decides to take a sip of the water that was presented to him earlier
Alex speaks , with his face to the wall .
Son , he says . Have you not the seen the shape shifters?
Shape shifters ? Replies Atticus in a shocked manner
Yes son , the shape shifters . The same shape shifters which carried your little brother when he barely an year old .
What do you mean . Atticus says . Who are you really ? He asks
Son , I tried running after the shape shifter who was carrying the little boy . It was dark , very dark that particular evening . And I tired to catch it , but it was like I was chasing a ghost .Literally . Such was the movement .
And was it the same thing that killed Chris .
Atticus is completely stunned and in utter disbelief .
Who are you , Atticus gets up from his chair
I,m just a cop . Replied Alex
But you son , said Alex . You are something bigger than all of us . A man whose destiny is the destiny for the rest of us .
I do not understand , Atticus replies .
It will be revealed to you soon . Who you are son .Said Alex
Atticus takes a sinister look
I, am a bastard whose father did not have the courage to raise him . But left him to hang out dry with his mother . And an infant brother who I keep suspecting was with us , but I have no memory of . That is all I'am
Alex seated firmly , just strokes his chin
Son , you are more than that he says to him
Nothing more , replies Atticus . The only thing that makes me special are the shapeshifters who keep interfering in my life . They just making my life worse .
Atticus sits down now
Son , Alex says . Yes the shapeshifters are continuously interfering in your life , for better or worse . I suspect they have their reasons behind their actions
Sir , Atticus interrupts
The crash , the bosses death . Is it because of a shapeshifter . Was it them who caused it .?
I have my doubts , replied Alex . That is a possibility I thoroughly entertain . There was no body we could retrieve from the crash , Alex adds . It was unmanned , but the people here have got so much into the system they have forgotten where they came from . Who they are ? And the outside world that exists in the planet . They have completely forgotten . They do not even at the slightest possibility think that something supernatural can be involved
So they continue to search for the bomber . And they shall search it for ever . That is who they are now .
Son , I need you to come in tomorrow again at the same time here . Says Alex
Yes sir , he replies to him and takes leave

Alex 's forethought after the departure of Atticus
I have always suspected that in him lies something evil and dark . He is a man capable of doing bad things without any remorse . And the dark things tend to make their way towards him . Is he aware of his evilness , I doubt it . But nonetheless it resides in him . He is not aware of who he is , nor his lineage . But the anger that his father had abandoned him at such an early age has created much anger in him . Me , I personally think that no power of any sort should be bestowed upon him . But I dare not say anything . I do what is required of me to do . I have pledged my allegiance to the kingdom . I'm not that young honest officer , i once was . I have become a lot wiser and know the workings of the world . I surrender the wishes of the kingdom

For this is the kings wish . He demands it and he shall receive it . Our one true king , his highness Maximus
