The mayor was in a frenzy.
Mayor Tyler: Aurora!
He jumped out of the window, but there was no one there. All that was left was a note, which read:
"Soon, your time will come, Thaddeus."
Mayor Tyler: Damn it!
Two bodyguards rushed to the scene immediately.
Bodyguard #1: What happened, sir?
Mayor Tyler: Zach! Graham! Get everyone and have them find my daughter!
Zach: Yes, sir!
Graham: Come on, let's go!
They left, leaving the mayor to his own emotions.
Mayor Tyler: I knew this would happen. I knew it.
Meanwhile, in the hospital:
Andy: Well, see you guys.
Demetrius: Alright.
Demetrius's parents waved to Andy as police escorted him out of the room. Andy walked out of the building with them and got in their car.
Officer Arthur: Where do your folks stay, kid?
Andy: Uh, back around Hell's Kitchen. I'll show you the way.
He pointed directions out to them, and after about a little more than half an hour they arrived.
Officer Arthur: This your place?
Andy: Yeah.
Officer Samantha: Are both of your parents home?
Andy: I'm pretty sure...they should be.
The officers walked up and knocked on the door. No response.
Officer Samantha: Hello? NYPD!
Still no response.
Andy: Uh, maybe give it a while—-
Something was heard from behind the door. A thud.
Officer Arthur: Hello? Anyone in there?
After a few minutes, the door slowly clicked open. A man in a towel, with wet and messy hair, greeted the officers.
Andy: Uh, dad...?
Gabriel: Oh, son! Officers...what's going on?
Officer Arthur: We would like to verify if you own a gun.
Gabriel: A gun? Yeah, I got one. Why?
Officer Arthur: Your son here says he borrowed it from you earlier.
Gabriel: Huh?
Andy: Uh, it's a long story dad.
Officer Samantha: I'm sure you know of the vigilante talk that's been going around. We're trying to find out if the situation that occurred involved him.
Gabriel: What situation?
Officer Samantha: A fight by an apartment nearby. A kid was pushed off a bridge.
Andy: Yeah, my friend was. Like he said, it was just some hooded guy.
Officer Arthur: In any case, we'll need you to come down to the station to pick up your gun, after it's been examined.
Gabriel: Oh...okay.
Meanwhile, back at the hospital...
Doctor Reginald: Okay, I've wrapped your injury, and I've given you medication.
