Ulrich couldn´t believe what he is seeing, Kelman has a mirror on his hands, "The Holder of Fear", it was reflecting the deepest fear of Ulrich, he was the only one looking at it, terribly shocked, Eleanor watched his impression, curious, she asked

"What´s that Ulrich?" getting closer to watch the mirror.

"Don´t look at it, just don´t" He replied, taking by force the mirror, covering the reflective side.

"Why?"

"It´s the Holder of Fear, it reflects your most inner fears. It´s extremely dangerous"

He then looked at Kelman

"Did you watch the reflection before?"

Slade woke up 2 hours later, it was the first rest he's had in days. He looked over and still saw his dead family staring at him at the edge of the bed.

"Fuck."

He needed answers. He went to his bag and pulled up the artifact. Then pulled out his phone and vid chated Ulrich. He held the item up.

"Ulrich, what the fuck is this thing, and what the hell is it doing to me?"

Couple of hours later,a guard walk up to him.

"Are you Dr. Baton?"

"Yes."

"There's a chopper here for you. I'll escort you there."

"Can I do one thing first? Alone?"

"All right, but you got ten minutes. I'll meet you at the helipad."

He headed to 053 containment room to say goodbye to her. He walked in and she was awake playing with her toys. He started talking to her, telling her about him going to Syria and how he was going to miss her so much.

"I'm so sorry. I don't know when I'm coming back. I might never come back. I want you to have something. Something that I always wanted to give you."

He pull out a locket from his pocket.

"There something special in this locket. Very special. And I want you to have it."

He gave her the locket.

"I have to go. Please stay safe and remember, I love you."

They hugged and he left the room. He made it to the helipad and got on the chopper.

"I'll miss you."

The heli flew off to the airport. Back at the containment room, 053 opened the locket. It contained a picture 053 and Dr.Baton. Smiling. As if nothing bad is ever going to happen.

Dr. Kelman looked at the screen and saw Slade holding a similar-looking artifact.

"Slade has one, too?" he asked himself. "Slade, don't look at it. It will show you whatever you're most afraid of, according to Dr. Ulrich." He looked at Dr. Ulrich. "Should we go help him?"

Gale opened his eyes and looked about. Glancing at the time, not a minute had passed. Or... had it? He couldn't remember if the last time he's seen it was at 0623 hours or not. Blinking the odd dream from his memory, he stood up in the pale light of the foggy morning. The rain had stopped, but the cold did not, and frost was forming in the window sill.

Gale glanced blearily at the front door, debating whether or not a knock had emitted from it. It was either this, or the dream. It was really strange, but it was a knock he had heard, or maybe a thump. But it was only after hearing this that looking up into the skies, he had seen a shape of a massive canine. What this meant, he could not fathom, and he though nothing of it.

He heard a knoc now, a real one, from the door. It could have been Philo, or some other doctor come to help. He moved to the door, but stopped, thinking better of it. Instead, he pulled out a pistol, then proceeded. Slowly, he curled a gloved hand over the brass metal of the front door and pulled, hoping what resided on the other side was not the trouble he disfortune that had been upon him, but the lack of luck he needed.

"His artifact is different, it´s a crystal star, "The Holder of Damnation" you let it shine by a close light source and you start to see thing, not sure what kind of things but are not really good things. We should totally go to help him"

"Put the star away from you, we are going to help you" Said Mestiar to Slade

"Do you want to come?" asked ulrich to Kelman

"Sure," he said. He knew his misinformation wasn't important, but he felt the need to address it anyway. "I should have figured they'd be different, but that doesn't matter. Right now, we need to get to Slade."

Site 17 was immediately reported upon it's breach. It had escaped it's cage during the blackout. Somehow, it had sneaked past just about 60% of security. Just a single half hour after it left the facility, MTF-Alpha-8 left the facility in the same estimated direction the escapee went. It turned out, in only a few days, they finally tracked path DNA path to Site-[REDACTED].

They had only one task, locate and retrieve.

Slade went back to the window and yawned. He saw the ghost of his dead wife floating outside of the window.

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

The glass shattered, and Slade felt a tingling in his chest. He looked down to see a dart sticking out. He instantly felt weak. He saw figures repel into the room and grab him. He was barely conscious. They hooked him onto someone, and lifted him out of the room. One stayed for a moment to grab the Holder.

Anna and multiple MTF members burst into the door, just in time to see a chopper flying away.

Slade blinked, and saw that he was handcuffed and sitting in a black hawk helicopter. He tried to move, but felt paralyzed. A man sat across from him, looking only like a black figure.

"Don't even try it... Heretic. "

Slade realized who these men were. The Church Of The Broken God.

"Shit."

His vison faded, and so did his consciousness.

When they got to Slade's quarters, he was nowhere to be found. There were some MTF, including Anna, investigating the area. Whatever happened to Slade, the Holder was gone, too.

Slade must have the artifact, Dr. Kelman thought. Or whoever did this. He looked at Anna. "Do you know what happened to Slade?"
