Mortimer for the first time was shedding tears which fell down his face. The one person that had helped him through almost 40 years was now dead before him, and he couldn't do anything about it. Mortimer stood up, leaving Mina behind and looked at the rest of the guards who were still watching the workers in case they tried anything. The tall and fiery man disappeared, leaving his top hat behind. Then, one of the guards started to scream in agony and kneeled down to the floor. All of a sudden, a huge burst of blood came out of his mouth and he fell down dead, his brain had been detoned and died instantly. The other guard looked at the rest of the workers and pointed at them with his gun. Mortimer reappeared behind him and lifted him up into the air, then rose his other hand and slowly, the guard cried in pain as he became old and lifeless since Mortimer was slowly absorbing his soul. Mortimer then threw the body aside and looked at Shadow once more. "Why...WHY!?" he asked him in anger.
