Chapter 7: Samantha-Knowledge
Add ten years
She sighed as she knocked on her neighbor's door across the hall. He hadn't been home for days. She was very worried. She knew he would never just disappear. Especially since he had promised to watch Tyler for her and Jack this weekend.
"Leo?" she called, "Leo its me ok? I'm coming in."
She had the keys to his apartment, a copy made so if he needed her take care of something while he was at work she could.
She opened the door and froze, everything was in disarray, books, papers, clothing scattered everywhere.
Spilled pill bottles lay broken on the ground.
There was blood on the walls, the floor, the counter.
"Oh my god," she gasped, "Leo?"
No answer.
She reported him missing that night, calling the cops and frantically trying to explain the chaos within his home.
It would be another three days before she would hear anything about him, and it would be on the news.
The mutant reported missing three days ago was found in a back alley badly beaten and bruised, he has been identified as Leon Hernandez but also has been identified by the mutant that found him as Hamato Leonardo who was reported missing four years ago. The mutant in question is in critical condition and the doctors fear that there is nothing that can be done to sustain him. Any information on which name is correct would be greatly appreciated. He is being held at Mercy Emergency Center…
Sam was already scrambling out of the door in a state of panic, she gathered up Tyler and sprinted toward the stairs as she called Jack. She knew he couldn't afford medical care, the pills he'd been taking were as much as he could manage on his budget.
She also knew she needed to hurry because of the oath Leo made nine years ago.
The oath to protect his family from the Foot.
