Marlen uses vines to tie Carlo up to a rock pillar.

Carlo:Let me go!

Officer May:The jig is up, who is Rune?

Carlo:Rune? How am I supposed to know?

Wesley:You're the person over the Doragon bar right?

Carlo:Yeah so what?!

Final:You work for Rune. Now tell us where he is!

Carlo:Where the hell did you get all this information from?

Loki holds up the deciphered paper.

Marlen:These codes mean Doragon which just so happens to be the name of the place you run.

Loki:Give it up you're busted.

Carlo:...Do none of you understand japanese?

CJ:What?

Carlo:Doragon means dragon. There could be multiple things in this city that could do with a dragon! You kids sure are something you know that?! Acting all smart, but couldn't figure out what Doragon meant! HAHAHA!

Officer May:Do us a favor and shut the hell up!

The group gets into a circle.

CJ:*Quiet*So ummmm we clearly got the wrong person.

Loki:*Quiet*Which means we caused all that commotion tonight for no reason.

Sofia:*Quiet*Well we were able to save Aaliyah.

Wesley:*Quiet*Not that much of an achievement.

A noise comes from Final's watch. He looks at it and sees a text saying "Did you find him yet?"

Final:*Quiet*Rune is contacting me through the signal.

Officer May:*Quiet*He was able to hack the systems?

Marlen:*Quiet*What's he asking?

Final:*Quiet*If we found the snake yet.

Wesley:*Quiet*Ask if it's Carlo.

On his watch he types if Carlo was the snake.

Rune:*On watch*Very intriguing answer, but you're missing the big picture. And my next victim is an even bigger piece of the puzzle.

Final:*On watch*Victim? Are they dead?

Rune:*On watch*Soon to be. Here's another clue to help you on your quest. My parents loved me dearly, but once I was born they never talked to me again.

CJ:*Quiet*A kid with issues?

Officer May:*Quiet*You have any idea on what it might be?

Final*Quiet*Yeah......it's an orphan. The kid is an orphan.

Sofia:Try asking if it's the right answer.

Before Final could ask the question the watch goes back to normal.

Final:He's gone.

Loki:Well where are the orphanages in Antantaru?

Officer May:There's only two.

Marlen:Then let's split up. One team of 3 and the other 4.

Final:My group will go to the old burnt down orphanage. Sofia and Wesley come with me. The other 4 can go with May.

Wesley:Sounds good.

CJ:Let's get moving.

The first group runs off behind Final while the other group follows Officer May in his car.
