Henry was about to leave but he had to come back to seek answers, to confront the man who had played a pivotal role in the treacherous events that had unfolded.

"Damien, there's something I must ask," Henry's voice tinged with a hint of reluctance. "Where are they? Harrison and that vile scientist, Columbus Parker."

Damien met Henry's gaze, a mixture of guilt and gratitude etched on his face. "You deserve to know, Henry. After what they've done to my brother, I can't keep it a secret any longer."

"Then tell me," Henry demanded, his fists clenching involuntarily.

Damien sighed deeply, taking a moment to compose himself. "Harrison is hiding in a safe house in western outskirts of town. She's planning to flee the country with Parker's research from his lab."

"And Parker?" Henry pressed.

"He's hiding in his old laboratory hidden in a secluded island, I've heard he's conducting his twisted experiments on innocent test subjects." Damien revealed.

Their menacing presence a constant reminder of the stigma he carried. Henry stopped, his eyes narrowed. "I've done nothing wrong," he said, his voice steady. "You got away with it," one of the men sneered. "You're a monster," another said.

    Former senator Abigail Harrison seeted with rage, her face bore the telltale signs of desperation and simmering evil. She paced restlessly in her room, her eyes ablaze with fury as the recent acquittal of Henry Constantine, the Wellington's son-in-law she had unjustly framed for a string of heinous murders, had sent shockwaves through her carefully constructed facade. Henry, now exonerated, posed a significant threat to her carefully cultivated criminal empire. Driven by an insatiable lust for power, Harrison had long been an accomplice to the notorious drug lords. Her influence had extended far and wide, allowing her to manipulate the political landscape and shield her nefarious activities from the prying eyes of the law. But with Constantine's release, her carefully orchestrated web of deception was unraveling. The time had come for Harrison to act swiftly and decisively. She reach to the phone and dialed a number, "Gibson, this is Abigal." President Dewey on the other lined wa

    Henry Constantine and Prosecutor Tristan Morris sat in their car, parked discreetly across the street from President Gibson Dewey's mansion. They had been watching the president for weeks, suspecting that he was involved in some shady dealings. And now, their suspicion seemed to be confirmed. "I can't believe it," Tristan whispered, peering through his binoculars. "He's really helping Harrison to escape." Henry nodded, his jaw clenched. "We need to follow them and see where they're heading. This could blow the lid off of everything."As they watched, Abigail Harrison emerged from the mansion and got into the president's car. They quickly startled the engine and pulled out onto the street, following them from a safe distance. "I guess they're heading towards the airport, " Henry said, "We need to keep our distance but stay close enough to see where they're going." As they neared the airport, they realized that the President and Harrison were boarding a private flight. They exchang

    Henry and Tristan found themselves trapped in a merciless cat and mouse chase with guards of Abigail Harrison guising as President Dewey. "We have to keep moving!" Henry exclaimed. "They're closing in on us!" "I know. We can't let them catch us. The fate of the country depends on it." Tristan nodded grimly. As they hurtled through the barren landscape, dodging bullets and leaping over obstacles, a group of guards emerged from behind a crumbled wall, their weapons trained on them. Both of them instinctively dropped to the ground, narrowly avoiding a hail of gunfire. "We're surrounded!" Tristan shouted."No, we're not," Henry replied. "We have a choice. We can either surrender and let them take us back to the prison, or we can let them take us back to the prison or we can fight our way out." "We fight."Tristan convicted. Henry and Tristan charged into the fray. Henry swung his fists, knocking down one guard after another, while Tristan expertly disarmed them with his baton. They f

    Henry and Tristan ran through the dense woods, their footsteps echoing loudly in the silence of the night. The authorities were hot on their trail, their shouts and sound of their dogs getting closer with each passing moment. "We need to split up, Henry. I'll draw them away from you." Tristan panted. "No, we stick together. We got into this mess together, we'll get out of it together." Henry argued. Before Tristan could protest, the authorities burst into view, their torches casting an ominous glow on the trees. They darted off in different directions, hoping to confuse their pursuers. But it was no use, the authorities were on them like hounds on a scent. Henry skidded to a stop, his chest heaving as he realized he was surrounded. He raised his hands in surrender, hoping against hope that he could spare Tristan from the same fate. But it was not to be. "We found the other one!" one of the authorities shouted, dragging Tristan out from his hiding spot. The two friends were beate

But they are still trapped in this dark room for what seemed like an eternity, at the mercy of of Abigail Harrison. "Tristan, I have a plan. We can't let her win. We have to escape." Henry whispered. Tristan nodded, "I'm with you, Henry. So what's the plan?" Henry explained his idea to Tristan, who seemed impressed by the ingenuity of it. Henry would use the Quantum Reverie watch system that Henry had developed to break through the walls of the room and make their escape. But just as they were about to put their plan into action, a loud, sinister laugh filled the room. Abigail Harrison had somehow anticipated their escape attempt and was reveling in their impending failure.

He had just narrowly escaped from the clutches of Abigail Harrison, who had tried to steal his Quantum Reverie watch. But he had managed to outsmart her and now he had the watch securely in his possession. He finally reached the exit and took a deep breath as he stepped outside into the cool night air. He looked down at the watch on his wrist, relieved that it was safe. But his relief was short lived as he heard a voice behind him. "Look like you managed to outsmart me, Henry. But what are you going to do now? You can't take me to the authorities, they'll never believe you. You're a wanted man, remember?" Henry clenched his fists in anger at her words.

Clifford Constantine, a young man in his early thirties, with a confused expression on his face, looked back at Henry."Who are you?" Clifford asked, his voice firm but laced with a hint of uncertainty.Henry took a deep breath, trying to composed himself. He had traveled back in time to 2006, a year that was etched in his memory as a pivotal moment in his father's life. He had to be careful, very careful, if he wanted to change the course of events that led to his father's demise."I'm... Henry," he said, trying to sound as normal as possible.Clifford's eyes narrowed. "I don't know you. What are you doing in my house?"Henry's heart raced as he struggled to find the right words.

Clifford's expression turned stern, "Lost your temper? Henry, you almost hurt my friend. What's going on with you?" Henry's eyes snapped back up, "I said I don't know. Just drop it." "Okay, I know you're going through a tough time, kid. But you can't lash out at others like that. You have to learn to control your emotions." Clifford advised. Henry's defiance faltered, "I'm sorry, I was really out of my mind."Clifford's expression turned sympathetic, "It's alright. We all make mistakes but you have to promise me one thing, you can't hurt other people like that. You have to learn to deal with your emotions in a healthy way."

    Henry's eyes opened and he was greeted by a worried face of man who has familiar features. But yet it was unfamiliar at the same time. Henry's mind was fogy and he tried to remember what had happened and he remembered he fainted. "Thank goodness, you're awake! how are you feeling?" the man's eyes lit up with relief as he helped Henry sit up. Henry's gaze locked onto the man's face,trying to place him. "Who are you?" he asked. "I'm the one who found you unconscious in the middle of the town square and your lucky I was passing by. By the way what's your name, boy? the man replied. Henry's mind was still racing as he looked around and tried to get his bearing. Where was his friend, Tristan Morris? He was the last person he remembered seeing. "Tristan Morris, have you seen him?" Henry mumbled. The man's expression turned puzzled, "I don't know anyone by that name. You're in the town square and you fainted."

We've come a long way to get this point. Let's not rush to judgment." George's expression softened slightly but his anger still simmered just below the surface, "Fine. Explain yourself. But I'm not going to tolerate any lies or deceit. You just brainwashed my cousins brain." he dissed. Henry nodded, "It's a long story, but I'll try to keep the brief. So it all started because off this watch. Or should I call the Quantum Reverie watch, this is an extraordinary device that allows me to switch identities with only one persona. It's a tool I've been using to correct some wrongs in my past." he began. "And I have chose your identity because we share a similar fate. We both have families that were wronged in some way. My father's riches were stolen by my cruel in-laws and I'm sure you have your own story of bet

"Come one, I've acceseed this computer countless times before but why won't it work now?" Henry muttered. Tristan watched Henry tries to attempt, "When did the watch starting to malfunction? I'm just curious of what's going on?" Henry's eyes dropped to the pocket watch dangling from his waistcoat, "I'm afraid so, Tristan. I've been having some trouble with it lately. It's been getting harder to switch personas." "That's not good, Henry. We badly need to get into this computer if we're going to find any clues about their disappearance." Tristan said. Henry's gaze snapped back to the computer screen. "I'll try again and again. I have to get in." Tristan placed a hand on Henry's shoulder. "Let me try, then. Sometimes a fresh perspective can work wonders." Henry sighed and stepped aside to let Tristan take over. Tristan's fingers

    The stormy night had turned the deserted road into a battlefield. Henry and Tristan were fighting for their lives against the shadow syndicate hunters. With the flashes of gunfire, the darkness was illuminated as the sound of thunder was drowned out by the constant exchange of bullets. Tristan continued to maneuvered the car with precision, he took sharp turns and dodge the bullets while Henry was above the din of the battle. "I'm trying, Henry!" Tristan shouted, his knuckles turning white as he gripped on the steering wheel. The syndicate's numbers seemed endless and Henry's bullets were running low. He reached for a spare but his pocket was empty. "Tris, I'm out of ammo," Henry said. Tristan's eyes darted to the rear view mirror where he saw the syndicate's vehicles closing in. "Oh no. I'm out of bullets too. Our only option is to get out of here." he exclaimed. Henry's hand instinctively went to his wrist, where his Quantum Reverie watch glowed with a soft blue light. He act

    "I'm not sure I need your help." Henry said. "You're not exactly in a position to turn down assistance, Henry. We've heard about the capabilities of your watch. We are willing to help you protect it and yourself." Henry's eyes flickered toward Tristan, who raised an eyebrow in warning. "Henry, they may be trustworthy but be cautious, but don't let them take the watch. Try to befriend them and use them as a backup when the shadow syndicate attacks." Henry's eyes refocused on the bounty hunters and he forced a hesitant smile, "I appreciate your offer. But can I ask, what's in it for you?" Other bounty hunter shrugged, "We're not in it for the money, Henry. We're in it for the thrill of the hunt. And taking down the shadow syndicate would be a feather in our caps." Tristan's eyes narrowed, his confusion evident. "Henry, what are you doing?" he whispered. Henry's response was a subtle shrug as he engaged the bounty hunters in conversation.

She was on the floor, unconscius and we immediately take her to the hospital." Tristan picked up where Henry left off, "The doctors diagnosed her with memory loss, Mr. Howard. She doesn't remember anything, not even her own name." Mr. Howard's eyes grew wide. "That's terrible! And why was she discharged this early?" Henry's expression darke
