A few days went by and nothing from Hydra. Dwayne had spent this quiet time letter his shoulder heal and being more involved with the day to day operations of the Reach Foundation. Trying to establish itself as the a key philanthropist in the city of Detroit revival efforts and to help the city reinvent itself had become a painstaking endeavor.

As the face of this effort Dwayne had to run from meeting to meeting during his day. He had meetings with the Mayor's Office, County Commissioner's Office, Chamber of Commerce, other business leaders and community leaders, as well. In each meeting, he had been the focal point of conversation it seems to him that everyone was looking for him to take a leadership role in whatever turnover efforts there were going to be in the city of Detroit. Gloria had warned him that there would be great demands placed on him and the Reach Foundation, but he never truly believed that it would be this bad.

Dwayne did know why, but he had a feeling that someone was watching him all day. But that was impossible he thought, no one knew that Dwayne Jones was, in fact, Dwayne Taylor and no one knew about the Night Thrasher connection either. At the mayor's office is where he felt it at the most.

"It's good to see you again Mr. Jones."

"Likewise Mr. Mayor and thank you for seeing me on such short notice."

"Don't thank me, it's you and the Reach Foundation that should be thank for stepping in to try to help our city."

"Mayor as I have told you before its the Reach Foundation's missions to try to help those in need and I know the history of this once proud city. The rest of the world waits for another shoe to drop, they think the past corrupt leadership has ruin this city forever. How could we ignore the situation here?"

"Do you mind if I ask you a question?"

"Not at all Mr. Mayor."

"How did you come to be the head of the Reach Foundation at such a young age?"

"Mr. Mayor if I did not know better I think that you are trying to find out about my motives here."

"This is Detroit and over the years many would be saviors have showed up on our doorsteps with fancy speeches but had an alternative agenda than helping the city."

"Mr. Mayor I appreciate you being upfront with me, now if you will permit me to do the same. I think that's it's impossible for all the wrong doings of this city to happen with your office having no knowledge. Which leads me to two conclusions the first, that you are being paid well to be a silent partner or two your entire administration is just incompetent!"

"Mr. Jones you can see yourself out. This meeting is done."

"Mr. Mayor it was a pleasure sir." Dwayne stands up offering his hand to the mayor, but no response. He leaves the mayor's office making special note of the placement of the security cameras. Downstairs Chord was waiting for him with the car, as they leave the mayor's office Dwayne is quiet. Chords decide to leave him to his thoughts as he concentrates on driving through the heavy traffic downtown. They run into a detour because of an accident a few blocks later it's another detour.

"Chord why all of the detours?"

"I'm not sure but I think its trouble. No one but else got detour off the main drive, but us."

"Stop the car." Before Chord can stop the car another vehicle comes from behind them and smashes into the rear of the car, causing the car to crash into the side of the building's wall. Chord's head hits the top of the steering wheel leaving him daze, Dwayne springs into action leaping out of the sunroof he lands on top of one of the assailants. He quickly disarms a second attacker as another one sprays a round of bullets in his direction. Realizing without his armor he is vulnerable, Dwayne rolls on the opposite side of a parked truck to keep away from the bullets. The gunman pauses to reload and Dwayne rushes his position with the speed of a cougar he sweeps the attacker from behind. The gunman falls and a swipe of Dwayne's right fist makes sure that he does not rise away.

Dwayne turns around searching for more attackers once he is sure that the danger has passed, he goes to check on Chord. He opens the car door and Chord is standing up trying to gather his bearings. That is when out of the shadows both men hear a familiar voice call out to them.

"Dwayne Jones was a poor cover. I knew from the first time I saw your picture in the newspaper that it was you Dwayne Taylor." Out of the darkness from the building Silhouette shadow melts and steps out into the open. "Why was I not invited to this family reunion dad?"
