HERO OF THE DAY: PART 2
Kia has just rescued a badly hurt Rick Flagg who was tortured at the hands of Father Lost! Now she has to find a way out of Singapore before Father Lost and his men capture them and finish the job! But with no one to turn to for help, their chances for survival are almost down to zero! She makes a desperate call to her former partner David hoping that he can rescue them before it's to late! Elsewhere, David arrives at the penthouse suite of Lena Killian and rings the belle. Lena, dressed in a seek-through gown opens the door, smiles and welcomes him in. She pours herself a drink and asks him what brings him to her room so late at night. With a seductive look, she asks is there something she has that interests him? David plays things out in his mind. "I have an untraceable weapon. No one saw me come in. All I have to do is pull the trigger and put an end to her once and for all." Lena tells him to have a seat as she sits across from him, leaving nothing to his imagination.
She is a beautiful, attractive woman. A powerful woman who is used to getting what she wants, no matter how many people have to suffer and die because she wants even more power. She reminds David of the warlords who took him and his brother Isaac and other children like t hem. Took them and turned them into child soldiers because they wanted more weapons, more land, more power. It didn't matter how many families were destroyed, lives shattered or how many thousands had to die. All because of a desire for power. Well, I have power too David thinks. I have the power to save millions with a simple act. As Lena continues to talk, he can't hear her words anymore. He thinks of Isaac, who went on to become the serial killer Massacre. Massacre believed that heroes were all failures who deserved to die because no matter how many people they saved, they couldn't save everyone. This is David's chance to save everyone. He will reach into his pocket and put a bullet into her brain and end the threat of Lena Killian once and for all. Then, he will be a hero.
