Earlier, And Somewhere in the United States...
"Well..." He said; a middle aged man in a grey suit standing in a colorful garden, holding a glass of red wine. He proceeded, "I used to have some disappointments in my life, my son was one of them. He was totally out of control. And now you remind me..."
A woman dressed in black was listening from behind. She followed the talk saying, "Of your son?"
He replied, "No, you remind me of the terrible taste of this drink. It was pretty much better back when I was younger. You see, my son is a different story to tell. I just can't stop talking about him every time I open my mouth."
The woman said, "Mr. Lewis I'm so sorry. I did my best to track him down but he left no trace. Our signal is still on. Do you want me to start over."
"No, no need for that. We have bigger problems to focus on right now", he said with a low tone. "THE MORTAL! hmhmm, it sounds like a weakness with pride." He chuckled.
"You think he's one of us?" She asked.
He answered her after a while saying: "Probably, but I believe he's smart... to do such a thing!"
She said, "Sir, I assure you, he has nothing on us. there were many files that accuses the government. We checked the sensitive ones. Didn't find any names yet."
Lewis said, "Something is missing. maybe it isn't the right time."
She said with a wondering look, "What?! I don't understand."
Morgan Lewis replied smiling, "Sandy, He knows everything. He chose not to tell the whole secret. I like that. Playing with terms and conditions. Let's see where this game will end up to."
"What about the other guy... The Architect?!" Sandy indicated.
Morgan turned around with a firm impression saying, "Yes, about that... Didn't he show up yet?"
"Not since the accident." Sandy answered. "The earthquake was catastrophic. It has been on a large scale." She added.
Morgan said, "Tell me something I don't know."
"Alright... there's this man who might be involved with our guy. Yesterday, we caught footage from Paris by the street cameras..." Sandy said showing Lewis some pictures with the electronic tablet she holds.
"De ja vu, I feel like I saw this man before, but where?!" Morgan said.
Sandy explained, "Of course you saw him before. he's a public figure. One of the greatest fashion designers in the modern time. some people call him: (THE GOD OF THREAD)."
Morgan said, "Hold on a minute... Is it Daniel Snyder we're talking about here?"
"Indeed." she answered. Then She added, "I checked his Intel. Snyder has refused many global awards over years of being in this job. He says and I quote : (I ain't make art for a prize. I make art because I love art).
Even though, he got a large publicity.
All this fortune... It seems like he started from a dark bottom climbing to the top."
Morgan sighed wearily saying, "This is not what concerns me."
"You say he's a Magiken?!" Sandy said suspecting.
Morgan replied, "Huh, no, I doubt it. I think he's more of a man who has a power over the local government, and if I'm right, he'll be hard to catch"
"Do you want me to act personally?" Sandy asked.
"No, we must not interfere, unless not now." Morgan said looking down at the floor. Then he raised his head saying, "Just, send your men and tell them to try to avoid making a scene, we have enough already. You need to follow him everywhere he goes and to know who does he communicate with. I want to confirm our suspicions first."
Sandy said, "what then?"
"Then... Hahh, we turn up the volume." Morgan said smiling. "now if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting to attend to." He alluded.
While he was going away, she said, "Sir, sometimes I feel like this nation will fall."
Morgan ceased to walk and laughed in silence without turning around saying, "This nation has fallen long time ago. Now, it's the moment of reconstruction."
