Mr. Carter didn’t waste time as he called Phantom to meet in his place.
Mr. Carter: “Hello, this is me, Matt Carter. We met a few days ago in the hospital. I’m Elle and Erick’s friend. Mr. Morgan, are you busy today?”
Phantom was currently in Dr. Clara’s clinic, accompanying Charles in his room. Sometimes, he would go back and forth between Charles’s and Lu’s Rooms. He was acting as a very caring father towards those two men who were both recuperating in Dr. Clara’s clinic.
Phantom: “Oh, I remember you. I’m not busy. Why?”
Mr. Carter: “There’s something important I need to tell you. I think I know your wife, Beatrice Morgan. Please see me in my place. This is my Address.”
Mr. Carter gave his exact address to Phantom. Phantom left Dr. Clara’s clinic in a hurry. He didn’t know why but whenever someone would mention his wife, Phantom couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
He always had a bad feeling that something unfortunate was about to happen. Maybe he was just overthinking and a little bit paranoid. He got phobia because of what happened to Elle’s father.
That day when Elle’s father wanted to tell him something about the conspiracy behind his wife’s death, the Family Falcon was attacked and got massacred in their own house.
This time he had high hopes that he would be able to know the real reason why his wife and son were brutally killed before. Would Mr. Carter be the key to get the answer he was seeking for the past few years?
**********
Meanwhile, Mr. Carter already hung up the phone. His eyes sparkled with joy. Finally, he found Beatrice’s husband. Now, he could tell him what happened to his wife and the real reason why his wife and his son were killed.
He would also like to ask forgiveness because he still believed that it was he who brought that misfortune to his family. He was still blaming himself because of Beatrice’s death. He decided to tell everything to Lester Morgan aka Phantom, Beatrice’s husband.
“Beatrice, I’m sorry, my dear friend. It took me a lot of time before I found your husband,” Mr. Carter mumbled as he touched Beatrice’s picture.
After a while, Mr. Carter heard some noise downstairs. He frowned as he remembered that his front door and back door were closed. He was still in the attic of his house but he could hear some faint movements below.
“Intruder? I’m sure Mr. Morgan doesn’t arrive yet because only 15 minutes had passed when the two of us spoke to each other.” Mr. Carter frowned. He had a bad feeling about this.
His instinct was telling him that danger just came to visit him. “Don’t tell me the Dark Knight finally locate me?”
Fortunately, his attic had a hidden door. The intruder would not easily find the door going to his attic. Mr. Carter’s heart started to run wild inside his chest.
‘I have to see Mr. Morgan first. Why now? Why today? I must escape. I should not allow them to catch me. There’s something I need to do.’
Mr. Carter stood up, and check his surroundings outside through the small opening from his attic. He was terrified as he confirmed that Dark Knight Members had come for him. They saw some men in a black suit, surrounding his house.
But from the noise he could hear below, he could estimate that there were five men who were inside his house right now. After assessing his situation, he knew that he had a low chance of escaping them. The Dark Lord seemed that he sent his elite men just to capture him.
He grabbed his backpack, putting his important belongings in a hurry. He put his phone in silent mode and sent a message to Phantom.
He told him not to go to his place because it’s dangerous. He warned him about the Dark Knight men. There were people who came to him. He told him that if he could escape from that place safe then he would try to meet him.
He didn’t sure if he could leave that place safely so he left Phantom an important message.
[ Mr. Morgan. I’m not sure if I can leave this place safely. But if ever something will happen to me, I just want you to know that the Dark Knight Organization had something to do with the death of your wife, Beatrice, and your son. I’m really sorry. I want to tell you more but it seems that there’s a possibility I will not be able to meet you. ]
After constructing that message, he pressed the send button. He just hoped it’s not too late. He didn’t want Phantom to be put in danger because of him. Mr. Carter had no idea that Lester Morgan was the legendary assassin, Phantom.
Mr. Carter forgot to mention the bio-weapon facility in his message. He started to type another message but he suddenly heard that someone was trying to open the hidden door of the attic.
“Shit! They found it already!” Mr. Carter cursed in a low voice. He didn’t know what to do next. He decided to escape from the attic through the roof. That’s his only way out. Then he heard the people outside the hidden door talking
“We’ve searched the entire house but we couldn’t find him.” One man said to his comrade.
“Our men who were monitoring him said he never left the house yet since this morning so they are sure that he is still here.” One responded to him.
Mr. Carter who was just listening to them started to sweat profusely. His heart raced even faster. ‘Damn! They already knew my whereabouts and had been monitoring me secretly for the past few days. This is not good!’
Mr. Carter started to escape through the small window in his attic. He was very careful with his movement not to create unnecessary noise.”
“What are you doing here?” The man asked again to his comrade.
“I’m trying to open this. This looks like a hidden door connected to the attic. Maybe he is hiding behind this door.”
It did not take long when a loud thud was heard. The man kicked the hidden door with his full force.
