The next morning, Dominic was walking inside the NYPD headquarters. As he walked in, everyone inside was so surprised to see him. So surprised that even a few people walked up to him and asked for autographs and pictures. To Dominic's delight, he politely said yes and started signing autographs and taking pictures. A couple minutes after he was done with that, he walked up to the front desk. "Yes sir, how may I help you?" the front desk clerk asked. She looked up at Dominic and let out a gasp. "Oh my goodness Stealth! What are you doing here?" "I'm here to see a Darrell Robinson. If he is available at any chance." "Okay, I'll check and see if he's available." She started typing on the computer looking for Darrell's availability. "I'm sorry Stealth he's booked for the next couple of hours," she said. "Would you like me to schedule you in for later today at 2:15?" "I'm a busy man today," he responded. "Are you sure you I can't meet with him right now? It's very important." "I'm sorry he has meetings all throughout this morning." "Okay." Dominic said with a smile. Dominic's looked at the clerk and used his telepathic powers and asked, "Where is his office located?" "4th floor, room 409." she said. "Thank you so much." Dominic walked to the elevator and took it to the 4th floor.
As he arrived to the 4th floor, he started looking around and found room 409 with Darrell's name on the door. He politely knocked on the door and a voice said, "Come in." Dominic opened the door and inside was Darrell and a client he was meeting with. Both were surprised to see Dominic arrive in Darrell's office. "Stealth is such a pleasure to meet you." Darrell said as he got up. "Didn't know you would be so tall Mr. Robinson," Dominic said. "Almost as tall as I am." Darrell was a tall, dark skinned man wearing a tan brown suit. He had a muscular build on him and had a light fade hairstyle with waves on his head. "And Dominic is just fine," he said. "Hi, Dominic Middleton." He gave his hand to the client Darrell was talking to and they both shook hands. "James, nice to meet you." the client said. "And I'm terribly sorry to interrupt but do you mind if I can speak with Darrell?" Dominic asked. "Yes of course," James said. "We were just about done anyway." James got his stuff and left out of Darrell's office. "Dominic, please have a seat." Darrell said. Dominic took a seat and asked, "So crime investigator huh? How is that?" "It's great," Darrell responded. "Always been a passion of mine. Coffee?" "Sure." Darrell went to go make him a cup of coffee and Dominic asked, "And that passion would be?" "Helping people," he responded. "It's a major part of my life." He gave Dominic a cup of coffee and sat down in his chair. "Thank you." Dominic said. He took a sip of his coffee and he said, "I bet your parents are very proud huh?" Darrell took a short pause and said nervously, "Yeah they are." Dominic looked at Darrell in a weird way cause of his response. "Darrell, I want to talk to you about something." Dominic said. "And that would be?" Darrell asked. Dominic took another sip of his coffee and asked, "You like helping people, right?" "Of course." "Then I have the perfect opportunity for you." Dominic got his same tablet that he had when he visited Imani. He turned it on and pulled up some files on Darrell. He gave the tablet to Darrell and as he took it, Darrell's face went from calm to angry. He looked at the door and ran up to it and slammed it. "How do you know about this?" he angrily asked. "I have resources." Dominic responded. "Do you know how much I have to do to hide my powers? I hate having these powers." "Darrell, if you don't mind me explaining…" "Yes, I do mind." Dominic took a pause and he got his tablet and pulled up the video of Darrell he saw with his uncle. Darrell walked over to Dominic and was about to say something, but Dominic interrupted him and asked, "Who else knows about this?" He gave the tablet to Darrell and the video he watched just made him angrier. The video finished and Darrell threw Dominic's tablet at the door. But before the tablet hit the door, Dominic saves his tablet by catching it with his hands. "So, I'm guessing nobody knows huh?" Dominic asked. Darrell angrily walked up to Dominic and said, "You do not know what I've been through. These powers have brought nothing but hell to my life. These powers have brought me into a deep depression that I wish not to go back to." "Which is why I want to help you." "I don't need your help." "Darrell listen." Dominic took a seat and said, "I don't know how your powers impacted your life, but I want to try to change that. I plan on forming my own team and want you to be a part of it." "Why do you want me? I'm a monster." "No, you're not. Darrell, I want to help you the way my uncle helped me." "Well, I'm nothing like you Dominic." "I know. Look here. I know these powers might be a little too much for you. But if you just give me a chance and try to help you learn about your powers…" "I know enough about them. It made me into somebody who I didn't think I would become. They make me kill people. It's a curse." "But it can also be a blessing in disguise Darrell." "Mr. Middleton, I need you to leave my office." "But Darrell…" "GET OUT!" Dominic sighed and slowly walked out of his office. Before he left, Dominic got something out of his pocket and put it on Darrell's desk. "I know you keep blaming yourself for the mistakes that you made in the past. Trust me, I did that as well. But you need to stop blaming yourself. I had to tell myself that a long time ago." As Dominic left, Darrell closed the door and sat back at his desk. He got the paper that Dominic left on his desk and looked at it. After a few seconds, he balled it up and threw it away.
