    The alley was were the cars of the ACG were packed earlier. Captain Maxwell and the Lady suddenly came out of DeathWood and approached the car, They opened the door and entered.

    “I’m tired!” Captain Maxwell said and gave a loud sigh of relief, he checked the time in his phone that was inside the car, which made him opened his mouth in astonishment. “4:32am” He whispered.

    He quickly placed his right finger on his earphone, as it gave a short blue glow. “Hello Colleagues, Captain Maxwell speaking... I and Emily are at the Alley, it's over for today. Meet us there now, we’re about to go!” He said. Via the earphone, his speeches travelled to each and everyone of the Hunters, that are putting on the earphones connected to Captain Maxwell’s earphone.

    °35 minutes later, 5:17am°

    The Remaining Hunters immediately walked out of DeathWood. Only six figure could be seen as they were not clear, darkened by the night, they were black from far. They walked forward as they began to cleared bit by bit, till they're revealed fully. It was actually 8; three female, and three male including two male who were carried on the shoulder by two of the Hunters. They approached their cars and opened the back door of the car for the the ones carrying the two blacked hunters to dropped them inside.

    “What happened to them?” Captain Maxwell quickly asked!

    “we are going to deal with that when we get to our destination.” one of them said. And a lady quickly asked too “What about Harris and Peter?”.

    “I will also explain later!” Captain Maxwell said and switched the car on. While the rest got into their cars and also switched their cars on, and without hesitating... They drove off.

    °The Apex City Guards [ACG] base°

    The Lab Room, 6:23am.

    “they’re over there, I want to figure out somethings about the incidents!” A man said as he walked into the lab room, via the entrance. He was donned in a blue T-shirt, black trouser, pair of black shoes and a white lab coat. He was followed suit by 8 people, the ACGs Hunters, they're now on normal clothes.

    “Oh! You’ve not find what happened to them?” Captain Maxwell asked in surprised.

    “Not really, I wanted to do it in front of you all!” The Lab man said fastly “Whereas, we know about Ben, he was beaten by a Strange monster!”

    “Yeh the monster beat him up badly, when we were down!” A lady cheeped in.

    They moved forward in silence now, only their footsteps were head till they got to their direction. Two beds were seen closed to each other, and two men were seen on it. It was actually Jerry and the beat up guy, Ben.

    “Let me work on Jerry first!” The lab man said.

    “Okay Dr Wilson!” Captain Maxwell said.

    “What the f**k made him red like this?” Mr Wilson the lab man said and moved closer to Jerry, while the rest sat on a long chair to watch him.

    Dr Wilson walked to a large keyboard, he started typing as some icons, data and pictures of the inner parts of a human displayed on the big screen. He walked away from it after some minutes, and head towards a button at the wall. He tapped and hold it and the Celine opened, then a big X-ray scanner slowly came out, it went down and stopped about 6 inches above Jerry.

    Mr Wilson immediately went back to the keyboard, he started typing again, and a full body displayed on the screen. “This is the inner body of Jerry” He said and the hunters smiled. Dr Wilson started typing again, then he zoomed the image till it was bigger, revealing the full inner chest of Jerry. Something was strange there, his heart was covered with somethings like worms, red in color. They're moving in an S form round Jerry's Chest. “Huh?” Dr Wilson Exclaimed.

    “What’s that?” The Hunters quickly asked.

    “I don't know! Let me find out if I can try!”  Dr Wilson replied.

    He typed and typed again, and immediately, some messages popped out on the screen. He Zoomed it and began to read.

    “This Body has been contaminated with a disease called ‘Zodtoryener’ It's a disease from the Monsters worlds and any moment from now, it may change the DNA of this body... it will mutate him to a different person, and if he is an animal, it can mutate him to a  Monster or any other thing.” Dr Wilson read aloud, as the people started panicking in fear! Suddenly another message popped out on the screen again.

    And Dr Wilson read aloud again “Note: This will be difficult for the person or animal to control, and it can harm his whole body.”

    “Hmm this is very strange to me!” Dr Wilson said in Confusion. “I need to remove this Zodtoryener of a thing, before it get worster!”

    Suddenly, Jerry opened his eyes, and everyone was surprised seeing his eyes red. “Arhhh! My head hurts!” He complained. “We’re back? Huh?” Jerry asked. And no one answered, they only gathered around him.

    “Hmmm.... Dude, you're in trouble!” Dr Wilson said.

    “What trouble?” Jerry asked in fear.

    “You have been contaminated with a terrible disease!” Dr Wilson said.

    “What’s that?” Jerry asked again in Confusion and fear at the same time.

    “What did you come across in DeathWood!” Captain Maxwell asked.

    “Umm.... Yeah I came across a strange orb glowing brightly red. I tried to run, but my mind was tempting me to pick it, so I did, and it exploded on me, which made me blacked out” Jerry said. “And Why is my body even red in color?” He asked the people around.

    “We’re supposed to be the one asking you this!” Dr Wilson said. “Let me do some experiment on you if I can help you!” He added...
