After the meeting ended, Cameron went straight to his apartment. He sat down the chair in exhaustion. He sighed and picked up his phone, he checked if anything was sent to him but there was nothing — not even a single message. Going back to his apartment, he was supposed to be resting but his mind is roaming somewhere else. He couldn't calm his system as he kept thinking about the safety of Officer Devius Chad, Gong Seuk Tae and his colleague, Detective Kairo Parler. Sitting there, waiting for his superior's order and doing nothing is driving him crazy. He wanted to look for them, but where?

After some time, he got up from his seat and went to the bathroom to take a bath. The cold water was dripping down his body but it didn't washed up the feeling of anxiousness he has. He let out a really deep breath before turning off the shower and drying himself. He changed into his usual attire and put his gun in it's holder before heading out of the apartment again. When he opened the door, he was surprised to see that his adopted father, Harold Lee was standing in front of his apartment.

"Camz."

"Dad, you need something?" He forcibly smiled to his father as ye asked the question.

Harold smiled back. "Can you come with me? I have to show you something."

Detective Lee furrowed his brows and asked. "What is it?"

"Just come with me and I'll tell you everything you need to know." Harold patted his son's shoulder and turned his back.

Cameron watch his father walk away before following him downstairs and to the car. He was confused but he trust his adopted father. He let Harold drive and take him to wherever he wanted to be a he couldn't concentrate and he doesn't want to cause any accident for the two of them. Detective Lee has too much in mind that he didn't even notice the familiar road his father was heading.

When Cameron felt that the car had stopped and they finally arrived, he lifted his head and saw the familiar building. He furrowed his brows and confusedly looked at Harold.

"Dad, what are we doing here?" He asked.

Harold got out of the car and opened the door for him. "Come down, I have to tell you something." He said.

Detective Lee was confused but he still did what his father said. "Why are we here? Why did you bring me here, dad?" He asked again.

"Camz, I used to be a detective and you know that, right?"

"Uh, yeah? What about that?" Detective Lee answered, still confused.

Harold sighed. "Do you want to know why I suddenly disappeared?"

"It's because of your last mission. You told me before that you have one last mission before you retire, which you never never told me what, and that you have to complete it and you never came back." Cameron responded.

His father nodded. "I lied, Camz. I never had a mission before I vanished. I just wanted to run from everything. I wanted to run from guilt."

"What do you mean? I don't understand, dad." Cameron turned to him.

"This place is my last mission." Harold looked at the burnt down building. "My last task was to save the kid kept from this building. He was kidnapped right before he was born. He never had the chance to see his parents nor say their names." He continued, Cameron just stared at his adopted father, he couldn't utter a single word. "They gave me the case because I was once like you. My colleagues look up to me because I'm one of the greatest in my profession. I never failed in solving cases. It was hard but I never gave up. My superior thought I'll be able to save the little boy but it took us seven years to locate his whereabouts and our investigation took us to this place." Harold started walking but he stopped after a meter distance.
