Mass release! The mass release will be split into three parts, at separate times as I simply cant write 33 chapters ahead.

The main group spent most of the night together, and Gary was starting to see a friendlier side to Olivia. The fact that a few months had gone past and she hadnt bothered to challenge him was also a good sign.

There was a thought in him that maybe she was trying to use Marie, but based on their interactions and what had happened when they met the vampire that day, Gary no longer felt like that.

The group went on to talk about general things and Garys time in the AFA, and of course the subject of vampires was brought up a lot. Each of them wondered how their strength compared to the mythical beasts.

If the head of the Altered Hunters Association was anything to go by, then they certainly were stronger. However, Kai had a feeling that Edvard might be a special case.

Ah, if Tom was here he would have loved to have heard this conversation, he was always into things like this. Gary stated.

Tom was also another that Gary had no time to catch up with, due to his own job at NIRV. Still, it was good out of all places that he was still able to meet up with him at the AFA.

In the future, he was sure they would be able to catch up again.

The day had come to an end, with Kai telling Gary that he should continue in pursuit of his driver's licence and rest for a few more days. There wasnt a lot for him to do at the Howlers anyway.

Only paperwork stuff that he wanted to update him on, but it wasnt urgent nor was it completely important that Gary knew these things, especially if he had Kai, but thats when Kai had mentioned something strange.

Gary there might be a day when I disappear, or maybe I get killed. If that happens, you should at least know the state of your own gang.

It made Gary think, was Kai thinking of leaving the group, was he worried for his life for some reason. Maybe it was just because he had nearly lost his life to Midwak, that he felt this way.

Without Kai, Gary couldn't think of continuing to run the group. Regardless, he decided to listen to Kai and learn about the gang more.

After resting at home, the next day, Gary got dressed wearing a hoodie and his face mask. It reminded him a lot of the days when he used to try and hide from the Underdogs. The good thing was he had experience in doing so.

On top of that, now with his super hearing and sense of smell he could tell if there were those around the corner.

It was extremely important for this, that he didnt get seen, this was something that Kai had managed to keep a big secret, and from getting out to the public.

The sound of beeping and coughing was heard from all over. The sound of crying could be heard in the distance as well.

Gary stood in front of a door, looking at it, before he slid it open. His face dropped to a gentle expression.

It looks like your still sleeping mum. Gary said, entering the room.

All of the equipment showed that his mother was stable. Her heart rate, her skin and even her body. She didnt look so frail as she did before as she was taking in the nutrients provided through the IV and such well.

Taking a seat Gary sat by her side and started talking away. He mentioned everything that he had gone through at the AFA.

I managed to make some pretty good friends there as well. Gary explained. I think if you met them you would think they were great. Especially Izzy, shes a bit too smart and notices things straight away.

I bet if it was her if it was her, she would have already figured out who it was that put you in this mess.

Gary clenched his fist as he allowed a tear to drop from his face, creating a dark patch on his trousers.

Gary was embarrassed that he still had no leads as to who had attacked his mother. He had been so busy with other things, and now it was simply too late to try and get any type of clue.

Too much time had passed, and they already asked everyone they thought would have seen something but no one said anything.

I have a feeling that you wont wake up that you wont wake up until I find the people that have done this to you. When I do, I will drag them here, and make them apologise right in front of you then Ill make them suffer the same way you did.

Without knowing it, Garys eyes had changed shape and colour slightly.

There was a polite knock on the door, and before anyone answered the door slid open. Footsteps were heard walking right up to Garys side until a hand was felt on his shoulder.

She looks really peaceful, huh. Amy said. I can only imagine, she must be having a long sleep finally. Now that she no longer has to work and look after us two, she can finally sleep.

Amy's words were clearly words of comfort, but she had no idea how Gary felt. For some reason, being involved in all of this gang mess, he felt like he was to blame for some of this.

There was a reason why Gary had asked Amy to meet him here, it was to remind him for something like this not to happen again, and the best way was some honesty.

Amy, Im sure you have heard a lot of things about me lately, and I want to speak to you.

Amy sat down in the chair next to him, turning it so she was faced toward Gary.

Is this about why you left the AFC?

Gary nooded.

Yes and theres a lot more I need to tell you.
