Scott Andel sat at the edge of the bed inside the hotel room he was staying at for the time being. At his feet was a medium sized box which he started to go through. Inside the box was a police uniform, a police officer's shield, some pictures and other assorted items. He picked up the photos which were of him, his father, Hendrich Andel and his sister, Nia. A saddened sigh escaped his lips as he just looked at the pictures.

A month earlier

"So this is it huh? You're just going to pick up and leave again?" Scott asked watching his father, Hendrich, packing the last of his belongings.

"Listen Scott, I don't expect you to understand. There is nothing in this city for me anymore. Look at me for fuck sake! I'm half a fucking century old! I can't do it anymore Scott. I'm too old" Hendrich said closing the suitcase. "You act like I'm not going to call you or something. You know I will" He added standing near the bed where his packed suitcase was laying.

"You are being selfish! Always thinking about yourself!" yelled Scott who was immediately confronted by Hendrich.

"You best watch your fucking mouth boy! I have nothing here! No wife. No job. Just a nice pension which I'm going to spend handsomely on endless booze and women who can do things with their bodies that would make any man cream themselves" Hendrich said looking over at Scott who looked at the ground saddened. "Look Scott. You can visit me anytime. I will cover the cost for the airfare and you can stay at my place" He added opening his arms toward Scott as if wanting a hug.

"Dad?" Scott called out to Hendrich who was about to open the door to the taxi. Hendrich turned towards him waiting to see what his son wanted to say. "What do I do here? How did you survive? Scott asked with a pleading look on his face.

"Don't take shit from anyone, watch yourself, and don't make dumb decisions because they will usually have huge consequences... especially in this shithole. " Hendrich said with that notorious smirk: "I'll see you around son. I'll call you when I land in Costa Rica" added Hendrich before he got into the taxi. Scott watched the taxi drove off down the street eventually disappearing around the corner of a nearby to the airport.

Scott began to tear up as he placed the pictures back into the box. He then stood up from the box walking over to the nearby window in the room. Those eyes stared out the window onto the city scene in front of him. He then began to think, thinking about what he was going to do in the city that his father built his legacy out of the blood and tears of the people to fell victim to his father's brutality. Scott's hands began to form up into fists as he just continued to stare out onto the darkness of Hathian.
