Henry was wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead as he hugged the heavy boxes onto the delivery truck.

It's been a week and Henry realized working as a delivery man was tough and every passing moment felt like it could be the one where the shadow syndicate hunter finally caught him.

He stacked the final box in the back of the truck and he noticed a flash of movement out of the corner of his eye. Henry's heart pounded when he recognized the figure standing in the distance. It was the hunter who had attacked him. Henry made up his mind and wouldn't let him get away.

Without hesitations, Henry secretly followed the man. His footstep silent and careful against the concrete floor of the warehouse. The man led him through the corridors until he finally stepped into a dark storage room.

"You thought you could get away from me, didn't you?" Henry sprang.

The hunter stiffened and slowly turned around and gave him a smirk, "Oh, it's you, Henry. I didn't know you're also working here?"

Henry heard a knock on his door so he immediately opened it to find a woman standing there, her eyes darting around nervously. "Hey, do you need something?" Henry asked, his brow furrowed in confusion. The woman introduced herself as Lydia, and seemed hesitant to speak. She then cleared his throat, "I know who you are, Henry Constantine." "What do you mean I'm in danger? Who are you?" Henry asked sternly. Lydia took a deep breath before answering, "I'm part of the shadow syndicate hunter and they're after your watch."

He also stole it." Leonard interjected. Henry's heart sank at what he said, he had reclaimed the watch from his father who saved him from danger. "That's not true! My father would never steal anything." Henry protested. "Oh, but he did, Henry. He used this watch to deceive all the people. And now you're the one who pays for the price." Leonard scoffed. Henry's mind raced as he tried to process Leonard's voice and if his father had indeed stolen the watch, it meant that everything he had believed about his past was a lie. "I don't belive you. I won't give up my watch." Henry said. "You have a choice, Henry. But I want you to accept the truth that t

You know I was under a lot of pressure at work and my mission to find the syndicate and you suddenly appeared, tempting and distracting me." Lydia's shook his head, "So now it's my fault?

Lydia pressed a cold cloth to Henry's gunshot wound on his arm, "You're losing too much blood. You need to go to the hospital." Henry winced as she bandaged the wound, "I'm fine, Lydia. I can handle this." "No, you're not fine. And if you don't take care of yourself, you won't be able to protect that watch." Henry sighed as he couldn't afford to succumb the pain and he had to fight for the watch, for his life. "They won't stop until they get it. They'll do anything." Henry muttered.

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.

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.

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

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.
