"How long has he been gone?" questioned officer crowley.

"8 days, 23 hours, 47 minutes and 23 seconds" replied the vigilante, looking at crowley.

"Look, we will find him" calmly replied crowley.

"No you won't, no one cares if a child goes missing here, let alone an orphan" coldly replied the vigilante."The cops are useless in this city, that's why I'm here, to do what you can't. I'll find him, and when i do, Nicholi won't be coming back in chains."

Crowley sighed and shook his head. Crowley was a good cop, one of the very few in crime city. He was a rookie, but he had heart, and deep down he knew that Crime city needed the vigilante. Crowley was small and scrawny, but he was quick. He could pull out a gun, shoot a guy, disable another guy and put them both in handcuffs, in under a minute. Crowley's mother was a black, businesswoman, quite famous really, and his father was a white cop. So naturally,Crowley followed his father's footsteps,but he wasn't welcome. The cops, are incredibly racist and sexist, so Crowley was lucky to get the job, let alone be treated fairly. Crowley had brown hair and a rough beard that made him look like he was in his thirties. He was smart, loyal and he knew the station inside and out which made him very useful to the vigilante. Crowley acted like a voice of reason to the vigilante, when he would give him the intel, he would always tell him whether or not it was worth it,but the vigilante would never listen as he believed that he wasn't a hero so he shouldn't act like one.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" questioned Crowley "If you kill him, you won't come back. You will kill again and again, do you want that? do you want to raise Hawk to be a killer?"

"What choice do i have!" exclaimed the vigilante in anger."If i don't kill him now, then he will break out again and everyone he kills will be on my hands.

"Don't do it, because if you do we will hunt you"exclaimed Crowley

"You can try, but you will fail" said, the vigilante calmly. "Look i'm only doing this because i have to, if i don't innocent people will die! After all he's done, the countless graveyards he's filled, the people he's hurt. John, he slaughtered your parents and you want him to live."

"NO! Of course i want him dead. Every night i think about how i want to rip out his heart, but it's wrong, it's against the law. If you kill him, you are no better than he is."

"Look John... if i can, i'll save him, but i need to concentrate on Hawk. I need to find him, because if I don't, you know exactly what will happen."replied the vigilante.

And with that, the vigilante disappeared into the shadows. Crowley looked at where the vigilante stood, his eyes watering.

"Just don't do anything, you will regret..."
