After Kyle’s shift at Brewed Awakenings mercifully came to an end, he had immediately made the trek across the city to Harry’s garage. Once he was there, he prepared for that evening’s patrol. As he was going through his various gadgets and supplies that he may need for the night’s activities, he told Harry about the reports of missing children in the area in recent days. 

As Kyle was getting ready to return to the city, Harry had done some quick research, and found that what Kyle had heard was true. Over the last eight nights, 6 children between the ages of 10 and 17 had gone missing from their bedrooms while their parents had been sleeping. At first glance, the children had nothing in common. They came from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicities, and family backgrounds. They also lived in all different area of Lost Haven. In fact, the only thing that the children seemed to have in common was the fact that each had seemingly vanished without a trace from their bedrooms in the late night hours. Harry had vowed to look further into the disappearances and give Kyle any new information he could find. 

Once he had left The Garage, the night proved to be rather uneventful. Lyger had preventing a mugging just outside of the French Quarter, but other than that it proved to be extremely quiet. Lyger had decided to take one last sweep of the city before returning to Brooksdale, where he would check in again with Harry before calling it a night. 

He left the rooftop which he had been perched atop of, and returned to the black supercar which he had dubbed Kaiju, which he had hidden in a nearby ally. With the area still quiet, he climbed into the car and set a course for Little Ulster, which had recently undergone a strange transformation. The run down section of the city which saw some of the worst crime rates in the city had been miraculously rejuvenated by a supposedly benevolent being. As a result, the crime rate in the area had dipped dramatically; however, crime in the neighborhood hadn’t been eradicated completely. 

It wasn’t long before he saw something that caught his attention. Several blocks away from Lost Haven University’s main campus he came across what looked to be a car wreck of some sort. He could see that the hood of the lone vehicle looked to have been torn off and smoke poured from a small flame that had been ignited in the engine. As he approached, he could see a young woman, not much older than him who appeared to be talking to a man near the vehicle. However, as he got closer and was able to get a better look, he saw the fear in her eyes. He also saw another man laying on the ground not far from the car, his head appeared to be twisted around at an impossible angle. 

Lyger sped Kaiju up as he bore down on the young woman and her tormentor, then brought the car to a screeching halt as he emerged from the vehicle to find out just what was going on.

“Step away from the girl.” Lyger growled at the man, who turned nonchalantly to face him.

“Wait your turn. Let us just finish with her, then we’ll get to you.” The man said in an eerily calm voice, before turning his back on him and taking another step toward the girl.

The young woman shrieked in fear as the man stepped closer to her. She began crying and carrying on about how he had torn her boyfriend from their car. Frantically, she called to her boyfriend, begging him to get up. However, Lyger didn’t need to examine the young man to know that he wouldn’t be able to do anything…ever again.

“I said, step away from the girl.” Lyger said as he bounded toward the man, grabbing him by the arm and spinning him around to face him.

That was when Lyger knew that something wasn’t right with this man. A smile crossed the man’s face, the goatee that adorned his face rose up on one side as the man sneered at him. However, it was the man’s eyes that caught his attention, unnerving him. The man’s eyes were completely black. There were no irises, no sclera, just what looked in the dark to be obsidian voids. 

“And we said, wait your turn.” The man calmly said as he hit Lyger with a backhand that sent him crashing hard through the bulletproof windshield of Kaiju. 

Before Lyger was able to move, the black eyed man was standing over him, pulling him up from the shattered windshield. The man had a tight grip on Lyger’s throat, and casually tossed him aside, sending him crashing hard to the pavement. Though he struggled to get to his feet and fight back, the black eyed man again stood before him, hitting him with a hard right hand, then grabbing the black clad hero by the throat and slamming him to the pavement.

“We hate interruptions.” The black eyed man said. “So we’ll just deal with you, then we’ll finish our business with the girl.” He finished as he placed his foot across Lyger’s throat and began to press down with all of his weight, even as Lyger struggled to keep the man from crushing his windpipe.
