It's been three months now and there's been no activity from the Outcasts and no one's investigating into the case of the black diamond and this troubles Reece a lot because if the legend of the diamond is true and the outcasts are able to harness its power, there would be a lot of chaos in the country. Samuel notices the look on Reece's face as there's no work to be done in the office and asks him "Why the long face bro?"
