I walk down hallway after hallway, opening door after door, walking up stair after stair until I finally reach Head Master Crows office doors. Big old golden color doors, you could tell it was the master office of the mansion. I knock on the door and wait for a response "Come in" I open the door and walk in closing it behind me, I see the Head Master sitting at his desk still drinking his coffee. He nods his head at the chair in front of the desk telling me to sit, I obey and sit on the wooden chair. "You know why I wanted you to come up here?" I shake my head. "I wanted you here to ask how the such was going, it's been awhile since I last checked on you", I lower my head my bangs covering my eyes, "I've found nothing yet… no matter where I look I can't find any links to that bastard" I clench my hand into a fist. He sigh's taking his glasses off, "That's bad to hear but I did think you wouldn't because you've been too busy fighting other monsters instead of doing what you really wanted to do, why you really became a hunter" I look up at him. "That's why your now having the next couple days off" I look at him confused, "Days off why? Monsters never take days off they hunt everyday people will get hurt if I-" "They will be fine, you're not the only hunter here Jason. You are to have three days off so you can go and relax and try to get some leads on the beast you so dearly want to kill understood" he interrupts me, anger in his voice. I give up and admit defeat, "Yes Head Master Crow, but where do I start? I have nothing on it" he looks at me and gives him me a note. "Go to the Hunters associations record library in the city, the record of that day is in there. It would be in the restricted area because it's the record of a beast that got away, we keep them under safe keep because we try to find them. That note will give you access to it and be careful some things are better off not knowing". He stands from his sit and walks to the window and looks out it.

I smile and jump out of my sit and hugs him, "Thank you so much Mark!" I run out of the room with the biggest smile on my face and head out for the city.

Head Master Crow stands there shocked at the event that just happened, a smiles pulls at his lips. "He called me by my first name, it's been so many years since he's said that".

I run off down the street heading for the library, the city was full of busy people rushing from one point to the next. It was a sunny day clear blue sky not a cloud in the sky, I keep running avoid bumping into people as I do. I reach the library and stop at the stairs trying to regain my breath, I catch my breath and walk up the stairs, and it looked just like a normal library but the security much tighter, you can only get in with a hunters ID. It was my first time here because only LEVEL 5 hunters and higher up workers in the hunting business can get in here, the guards give me warning glares that send a chill up my spine. I quickly walk past them and get inside I look at the place. This place is huge! I think to myself not even the city library was this big it's like three times its sizes, I walk up to the counter and hit the little bell on it, I see a man at a computer on the other side of the counter. His black hair all neatly done up, black suit all neat not a single wrinkly in it, black spectacles slightly falling down the bridge of his nose, he looks up and sees me. "Um yes?", "I need to look at a record please" he groans and gets up from his sit and walks to the counter fixing his spectacles showing his bright purple eyes, such unique eye color. "ID" I give him my hunters ID card, "Hmmm sorry kid your only a LEVEL 2 hunter, LEVEL 5 hunters and higher ups only" he gives me back my card. I give him the note the note Head Master Crow gave me, "Head Master Crow sent me here he gave me this to give to you to allow me entrance" he reads it and his eyes widen in shock, "Wait old Crow is letting you see one of those records? Well that's strange even for him, it's his signature all right but why?" he just looks at me with a strange look and walks through the gap between the counter and tells me to follow him.

We walk for a while until we reach a vault, he did say they were kept under safe keep… he talks to one of the guards and they open up the vault door, reveling a small study room type of library. We both walk in and it was pretty dusty like it hasn't been used in so long. "This is the records of all monsters that have been set to kill but got away and are still hiding, as you can see from the amount of books a lot more monsters get away more than you think, and this is something they don't teach you in training school" he goes to the table in the middle of the room where this huge book rests, it has a thick layer of dust on it. He opens the book and dust flies everywhere, I cough from breathing it in. "What day?" he asked still looking at the book, "Day?" "Yes day what day was it when the monster you're looking for got away?", "Oh um 23rd of September 2001" he looks through the book for anything on that date. "Hmmm…. book 30975" he moves away from the book and goes to another shelf looking for the book. I stand by the table to stay out of his way, he grabs a book from the shelf and walks back to me, "What time was it at?" I think to myself "About 11 pm". He opens it and searches through it, it was a while before he said anything. "There was one monster at that time, a LEVEL 5 monster. Mark Crow was the one who took that missions" I step back a bit. "Wait he was the hunter…these years and he said nothing…". "Old Crow did that a lot reason why he stays alone" he starts to read again "Sadly a young mother died though but her son… huh there's nothing about what happened to that boy…" I look down. "I know what happen to him… you're looking at him" he looked at me eyes full of shock and sadness. "I'm sorry… I guess you're here because you want to know who killed her" I nod. He looks back at the book, "Hmm well what killed her was a…" the next thing we know the page lights up on fire, he drops the book onto the ground and the page burns away. "What the hell?", "Head office is going to need to hear about this, kid it's time to leave I'm sorry." He grabs my arm and pulls me away all the way back to the front door. He lets go of my arm and looks at me "Listen what happen wasn't normal someone doesn't want you to know what really happened that day, go back to old Crow and ask him ok… I'm sorry I wish I could help more" I give him a nod. "Hey if you ever need help again just come by and ask for me, it's the least I could do." He smiles and pats my back. "Thanks um?" "Ricky cooper" I smile "Thanks Ricky, see ya" I walk off back to the Hunter Association thinking things were starting to go my way, completely unaware that my life was really about to go to hell.
