Shadow saw himself walking down a hallway of an old warehouse, wondering where he was and how he got there. He kept asking himself where he was and why he was there. Until he heard a cry of a woman; she sounded like she was in pain. He quickly ran down the hall until he found a man with long hair going up to his shoulders in a black leather trench coat and black leather pants looking through a window in horror. Shadow slowly walked up to the man, and tried to tap him but his hand went right through him.

He heard the cries for help again; he turned to see that there were two guys in black suits holding a woman in a green shirt with a red scarf and a ponytail. The one man shoved the woman's face against window, causing Shadow to back up. He saw the man tried to stop him but something was holding him back; he didn't know what. The goon held the gun to the woman's head. The man prepared to shot her in the head; the woman did her best to look at the man one last time.

"Jackie, this wasn't your fault..."

The man pulled the trigger and in a signal shot the woman fell to the ground. Shadow eyes widen in horror to what had happened next. The one called Jackie suddenly grew two heads of a creature that he had never seen before from his back. Jackie broke through the window and killed the man that shot woman and tried to kill the other man but he managed to get away. Jackie picked the gun that had killed his woman. He put it under his chin and prepared to fire. The creature tried to stop him from firing however it was too late.

"Shadow? Shadow, wake up!"

Shadow opened his eyes only to find Sherlock hovering over him. He just shot up and hit his Sherlock's head groaning in pain after the impact. "Sherlock?" he said with a groan, "Are you alright?" Sherlock asked.

S.F: "My head is just fine."

S.H: "No, I didn't mean that. You were talking in your sleep, you feeling okay?"

S.F: "Yea-Yeah, I'm fine."

S.H: "You sure, you're sweating."

S.F: "I uh, I just had a nightmare."

S.H: "Just a nightmare?"

S.F: "Yeah, that's exactly what I said."

S.H: "What was your nightmare about?"

S.F: "Why are asking that?"

S.H: "If it's 'just a nightmare' surely it must be bothering you."

S.F: "I rather not talk about it."

S.H: "Are you sure?"

S.F: "I'm sure."

S.H: "Suit yourself. You better get ready, we'll be landing in New York soon.

S.F: "Right, I got it."

With that Sherlock left Shadow's room. Shadow laid back in his bed, trying to catch his breath after having that awful nightmare. He tried not to think about his little dream he had. All of a sudden his head began to throb; he quickly sat up and grasped his head and tried his best to sustain the pain. Images began going through his head, of the nightmare as well as other images he had never seen before. He saw images of the creature that was in his dream, seeing dead bodies everywhere and the creature eating the dead's hearts. Finally the images came to an end and Shadow caught his breath.

Shadow looked around the room making sure he was in the same place. "What the hell just happened?" he said to himself. He just shook his head to get rid of the thought; he got up off the bed and gathered his stuff.

-New York, Delta Airport

July 1st 6:30 P.M-

"Here we are guys, New York!" Ziva said over the P.A

The plane landed in the runway and drove to the airport. Sakura looked out the window to see a bunch of birds and the beach near the airport; just admiring the sight. "Shadow! You have to see this!" she said as she turned to him with a smile. Sakura than noticed Shadow had been quiet since they arrived in New York. "Are you okay?" she asked with a hint of concern. Shadow turned to Sakura, and she saw that in his eyes he looked tired. "I'm all right." Shadow said to her with a light smile.

S.K: "You look tired."

S.F: "I'm all right. I must've had too much Ice Tea."

S.K: "Well, I guess that would keep anyone awake."

S.F: "You guessed right."

S.K: "You sure there's nothing wrong?"

S.F: "I'm sure."

S.K: "Okay, but if there is something wrong you could always talk to me!"

S.F: "Yeah, I'll remember that."

The plane soon came to a stop and the group exited the aircraft. They found Alice and Envy standing next to what looked like a party limo. "Hello Sherlock." She said, "It's been a while." "Alice, you haven't changed a bit." He said to her, "I haven't seen since the case with the little one." "I haven't realized I haven't been seen for that long." "Thanks for paying for the trip here." John said to her. "No problem, it's the least I can do." She said, "Shall we go to the hotel?" "What kind of room are we staying in this time?" Korra asked her with a raised eyebrow, "You'll see when we get there." Envy said to her.

Everyone put their luggage in the back of the limo, said their goodbyes to Ziva, and entered the limo. "I heard from Agent Gibbs that you were able help a man and son out." Alice said to Sherlock, "Jake Bohm, the boy that can see past, present, and future, through numbers no less."

S.H: "Good Lord, you've been reading John's blog haven't you?"

A.L: "I have to be updated somehow."

S.H: "For God sakes."

A.L: "Don't complain to me."

S.H: "You never gave me details of this new case."

A.L: "Right."

Alice handed Sherlock the New York City Newspaper that has been recently published. On the front of the paper it showed a man in a suit, dead on the floor of a local cemetery. "What is this about?" the detective asked the former patient, "What's it look like?" she asked, "It's obvious it's a murder, what's so special about this one, besides the bullet holes on his body."

A.L: "The heart of the mans body is missing."

S.H: "The killer cut out the mans heart?"

A.L: "More like eaten it."

S.H: "How do you know that?"

A.L: "Pieces of his heart was found near his body."

S.H: "Oh. Interesting."

S.F: "What kind of a murderer eats a persons heart after he kills them?"

K.S: "A psychopath most likely. No offense Sherlock."

S.H: "Don't worry about it, I get that a lot from others."

S.F: "That is just sick."

S.H: "Do we have any leads?"

E: "Two. Both of them are Mob Leaders."

S.H: "Names?"

E: "Valentino Rodrigues, and a former police officer name Johnson Chan."

A.L: "Only problem is that no one knows who is the one that killed this man."

J.W: "What does this have to do with us?"

A.L: "You are to find out which one of these A-Holes killed this former Mob member and why they killed him."

Sherlock looked at the newspapers than to Alice thinking about this for minute. First a girl's family died as the years went by, than a company is trying to get their hands on a 11 year old boy and a 12 year old girl for the purpose of getting a certain pattern and now this. He looked up to Alice and said; "I'll take the case."

-Manhattan, Heavens Palace Hotel

July 1st 6:40 P.M-

"Sakura let me carry that!" Shadow said as he took the suitcase from her hands, "I could've carried it!" She said to him. Sherlock just took the luggage from Shadow's hands and placed it on a cart. "There, no more arguing." He said to them, "Now get inside the hotel or do I have to kick you both in there?" "Fine." They both said as they went inside. "Didn't know you could be so fatherly." John said, "Help me get the luggage." He said to the doctor. Korra, John, Sherlock, and Alice got the luggage out of the trunk and placed it on the luggage cart. "Sherlock, do you mind if I speak with you for a minute?" Alice asked.

Sherlock looked at Alice and gave out a sigh. "Go in, I'll catch up." He said to John and Korra. Sherlock walked over to Alice, and put his hands in his pocket. "Well, what did you want?" he asked her, "Jiminy tells me that you didn't come here just for this case." Alice said, "So spill the beans." Sherlock took a deep breath and looked in Alice's eyes. "While I was helping out Martin Bohm, Jake managed to prove to Sakura that her Godfather is still alive."

A.L: "Are you serious?"

S.H: "I am being clear aren't I?"

A.L: "I could've sworn that everyone in her family was dead."

S.H: "Apparently not. I don't know how but it's obvious that he faked his own death when he was attacked by Medusa."

A.L: "Does he have a name?"

S.H: "Yes. His name is Severus. Does that name ring a bell?"

A.L: "Severus? Sorry I never knew anyway by that name, but I'll look into it."

S.H: "For once that would help actually."

A.L: "You think Severus is in as they call it in America the Big Apple?"

S.H: "He keeps moving from one place to another believe me I'm going to find out why."

A.L: "Look at you so determined. I gotta say that is something a girl likes in a man."

S.H: "Oh shut up."

A.L: "You might as well go inside and get some rest, you have a busy day tomorrow."

S.H: "Right, which room is it?"

A.L: "Penthouse, all the way up on the top floor."

S.H: "Thanks, evening."

Sherlock entered the hotel leaving Alice outside. Alice took out her cell phone and dialed a number as soon as she saw Sherlock enter the hotel. "Hello." She said, "I have a favor to ask you."

-Heavens Palace Hotel, Penthouse 1:30 A.M-

Shadow found himself running down a hallway filled with light. As he ran the lights behind him where covered with dark fog speeding towards him. Shadow kept running as fast as he could, but no matter how far he ran he had gotten nowhere. He soon found a door up ahead in the hallway. Using all of his strength he ran towards the door, however as soon as he opened it, he fell into a black abyss. Shadow tried to get back to the door but it just slammed shut; then he found himself floating until he felt himself hit the ground. Shadow's body trembled, and his eyes were filled with fear.

"You can never... escape darkness... There's darkness, wherever you turn... wherever you go... darkness... is there..."

Shadow looked frantically not knowing where the voice came from. He turned left, right, up and down, but he couldn't find the source of the to where the voice came from.

"You can run... all you like... but know this... no matter where go... no matter where you hide... we will find you... we will control you... for we are your puppet master..."

The voices came to a stop, and Shadow froze, not knowing what will happen next. Suddenly he felt something warm and wet. He looked at his arms and hands and saw that he was dripping with his blood. Shadow let out a scream not knowing how the blood got there. He than heard from the dark a laugh, one that he thought he would never hear. Shadow turned to see Medusa standing with a smile of a psychopath across her face. Shadow tried to turn and run but he couldn't move his own legs. He looked down to see two gargoyles with wings of a bat, and the faces of hyenas were holding his legs.

Shadow tried his best to shake them off no matter what he did they wouldn't let go. A third gargoyle appeared on his back and grabbed the back of his head and forced him to look at Medusa. She laughed at his humiliation and looked at him in the eye. "My final experiment has begun." She said lifting her arm. Suddenly a creature similar to Jackie's appeared in front of her. Instead of two heads there were three heads, two of the heads had the heads of dogs and there eyes were glowing red while the third one had the head of a dragon, and it's eyes were a glow of white.

Shadow saw that their teeth were as sharp as a sword and they were preparing to attack him. Shadow again struggled to get out of the gargoyle's grip, but they held on tight and they laughed in amusement. The two heads grasped his arms causing Shadow to cry out in pain. The third head hovered over his head, and gave out a low growl. "Let the darkness consume you." It had said. The head grabbed his head causing him to scream at the top of his lungs.

"SHADOW!?"

He shot himself awake finding himself on the floor, instead of the bed. He felt the sweat go coming down his head and on to the floor. Shadow sat himself up from the floor and wiped the sweat off his face. He looked around saw that he was still in the real world. 'It-it was only a dream.' He said to himself. The door suddenly flew open; he turned to see Sherlock standing at the entrance. "Are you alright?" he asked as he walked towards him. "I-I'm fine." He said to him as he got up off the floor, "I just fell out of bed."

S.H: "I can see that. What happened?"

S.F: "Just another nightmare, that's all. What are you doing in my room?"

S.H: "I heard you scream bloody murder, any louder and it could've woken up the others. Are you sure your alright this time?"

S.F: "I'm okay. 'Nightmare on Elm Street' got to me."

S.H: "Really? Usually horror films like that don't scare you that easy."

S.F: "Yeah well that one did. I'm fine so just let me sleep in peace."

S.H: "Alright than. I'll see you in the morning."

Sherlock exited the room leaving Shadow inside. He gave out a huge sigh and sat in his bed. All of sudden he began to cough; he quickly covered his mouth. Removing his hand he saw he coughed up his own blood.

"Darkness is there... no matter where you turn..."

Shadow jumped from the sound of the voice. His body began to shake and he turned from right to left and saw that there was nothing there. He laid back down in his bed and tried to go back to sleep.
