and threw his head back. What had he done there? He decided not to change clothes or to eat anything, but left the apartment and got into his car. He was soon at Emma's, but the apartment was locked. A piece of paper was stuck to the mat that said, "I'm icy." Will swore, hated himself. Emma must have gone looking for Kevin, but would she find him too? Will looked at his watch and cursed again. He was too late. His duty had already started half an hour ago. He wondered if he should call in sick, but then dismissed the thought. He was another half hour late before he finally got there. Max reacted quite indignantly. "Man what's going on? You're a whole hour late, be glad that we don't have a guardian today," he told him. Will only listened with one ear and apologized. "Great, you're still drunk. If you can tell our instructor the story about the scratch afterwards, it'll be really nice. Besides, you haven't even moved yet," Max complained. Will asked him to be quiet. "I haven't had a chance to go to the training center. I'm changing in the car," he explained. Max shook his head in disbelief. "Listen, I'm not going to reveal anything to anyone, of course, but I'm your friend. And as a friend ..." "Thanks!", Will choked him off, tired of it. "I'm going.", Max insisted, who didn't think Will was sober. Your day today was to go on patrols and report minor crimes such as theft. Usually nothing exciting ever happened, so Will thought about it all the time. He really screwed up. He also didn't notice how his amulet briefly lit up.The origin for this was Onuris. He had decided on luck to search the city for other amulet wearers. Maybe someone would lead him to the key. Now he had discovered Will. He didn't know if he knew anything about the book and the key, but he decided to follow it inconspicuously.

Bryan hoped not to bother Alice too much when he went back to the hospital the next day. After enjoying the rose yesterday, Bryan had thought of flowers this time and bought some. He couldn't tell their names, but flowers were just flowers to him. This time he was walking towards the nurses' room when someone rammed him. He wanted to scold, but the guy was already gone. But ... wasn't that the same as yesterday? Bryan moved on and finally found Alice. She crouched on the floor and sobbed. Bryan immediately knelt next to her and asked what was going on. Alice didn't want to get out with the language. Bryan told one of her colleagues that Alice was a

Needed a break. He took her to the park and talked quietly to her again. It's because of this guy, am I right? "he asked carefully. Alice nodded weakly." What did he do to you. "Bryan continued. Alice stared at him." Nothing. At least nothing yet. ", she explained." Please ... please don't tell anyone! "she pleaded. Bryan promised, although he didn't know what it was about." So ... this Mike, he's an old friend of my brother. He's the leader of a gang and he came to see me last week. He ... wanted me to get medicine for him. He said because of the old days. I refused, of course, but he has been visiting me every day since then. "she howled. Bryan got up angrily." He won't bother you again, I promise you that. "Alice looked at him worried." Do you want to ... "she asked hesitantly. Bryan had told her about his skills and his background. Alice had been shocked at first but then accepted it." Trust me. "Bryan begged her. Alice tried. She gave Bryan a phone number that her brother's boyfriend had left with her. Bryan called and made an appointment with the gang boss."

"For you.", Max held out a termos flask to his friend. Will unscrewed it greedily drank from it. "Do you want to tell me what happened?" Max tried to start a conversation. "No.", Will only replied. "Has to do with a woman," added after a short wait. Max smiled. "It always has. But you're right, you'd better not tell me." Will now looked out the window. "Isn't there someone lying on the sidewalk?" He turned to Max. He looked in the rearview mirror and stopped. He was forced to park and the two of them got out. Will was the first to go to the scene and discovered an elderly woman. "Help! I was mugged, she said immediately. Will looked at the end of the street and saw a guy in a leather jacket run away."Take care of her.", He told Max and then sprinted off. Max was against it and thought the action was too dangerous. But there was no stopping Will. He needed the feeling of doing something good. Especially after yesterday. Max helped the old woman back on her feet and took up what she said. Meanwhile, Will was chasing the handbag thief. Of course he would have been faster if he had used his amulet, but he didn't want Max to notice. Will's uncle had also been a cop and was killed on duty. Just like his colleague. The thief was now around the corner and Will lost sight of him for a moment. When he turned into the next street himself, he had to admit that he had lost it. Still, he didn't give up, but kept running. After all, it had to be stuck somewhere. He discovered an entrance behind which a stairwell opened. The thief could only have taken this route.

Onuris had also noticed the incident. However, he had managed to stay on the thief's heels. He had run into a crumbling building and scurried up a flight of stairs. He was breathing heavily when he got to the top and checked to see if he was still being followed. His actual destination seemed to be the attic. This was furnished like an apartment, but there was hardly any light. Clothes were strewn everywhere, cigarette butts were on every chair or table and it stank. Two other teenagers were lying on the floor smoking. At first they didn't see their buddy because they were listening to music, but then they tore off their headphones. "Hey, what's up?" Asked one of the newcomers. He snorted. "I ... was followed," he reported anxiously. His friends threw him vicious insults. "Have you attacked an old lady again? We'll end up in jail because of you!", They accused him. Then Onuris appeared out of nowhere in the room. His appearance made the youngsters doubt themselves. "Damn it, I think I smoked too much," said one. "Crazy mummy outfit, man," said another. "Is that the guy who was chasing you?" The two asked their friend. He shook his head uncertainly. "You bugs can't tell me anything about the key either." Onuris grumbled. "The three of them didn't seem happy about the word 'bugs' and two of them pulled switchblades." I think he wants a rub. ", they blasphemed. One attacked Onuris, but the latter grabbed the boy's arm and pressed him down. With another blow he stretched him to the ground. The boy screamed and wailed." My arm! ", he groaned. His friends came to his aid, but called one of his own knives and wounded them. They collapsed, but were still alive. That was the moment when Will entered the room. He saw the injured immediately, and then too." Onuris: At first his appearance frightened him and he doubted his perception."What the hell?" He asked, and finally felt his amulet light up. It was very dark in the attic, which is why he hadn't recognized Onuris' amulet immediately. "Who are you?" Will asked demanding. Onuris grinned at him. "Where's the key? Do you have it?" He wanted to know. Will didn't understand a word. "I only ever hear keys, who are you and what do you think of attacking an innocent? Well ... halfway innocent." Onuris looked at Will and was then sure that he knew nothing about the Book of the Dead. "I'm looking for something. Since you don't seem to have it, you are worthless.", He explained and let two knives appear, which hissed through the air with lightning speed. Will was surprised and caught by one of the knives on the right shoulder. He cursed and backed away. He hadn't fought in a long time, but was now forced to do so again.

Bryan had used a simple trick. He had told this Mike he was working in the hospital and could get him the medication. The leader of the bikers was skeptical at first, but then accepted. However, he insisted that Bryan come to him. He accepted this because he was sure that he was the stronger one. That said, in case there was a fight. For there was no other option but to protect Alice. He had failed with Carol, which still gave him nightmares today. He would never put her in danger. That's why he decided to solve her problem for her. He had already arranged to meet two hours later. He had been summoned to an older building not far from the clinic. Bryan saw a sign that it was a closed youth center. Not a soul was to be seen far and wide. Bryan walked purposefully towards the entrance and opened the door. Behind it was dark, but he continued on his way. He only heard the sound of his own footsteps and dared not shout it. He heard a noise and headed for it. "Over here," someone called out to him. Bryan stepped closer and a beam of light blinded me. He raised his arm protectively in front of his eyes and tried to recognize the person. "Do you have the medication with you?" He was asked rudely. Bryan didn't answer. Now the gang boss examined him more closely and stopped short. "I know you. You're Alice's lover," he saw through Bryan. "That's right.", He just replied. "Then I guess you're not interested in the deal either," Mike asked. "No.", Bryan replied succinctly. Only now did he notice how other people were hiding in the dark. They stepped forward and Bryan counted a total of five. "You're pretty brave, I like that. But why are you here?" Mike wanted to know now. Bryan grinned at him. "I have another deal for you. You leave Alice alone in the future and I'll spare your life."Mike eyed him suspiciously at first, but then laughed off. His friends followed suit. They didn't take Bryan seriously. The bikers now emerged from their hiding places and cut off Bryan's escape route." Your deal is rubbish. ", snapped Mike. Bryan probably saw it differently." I think he's fair! ", he replied. Mike wanted to profile
