Fred
Alessia held her breath, the impending doom that crept up on her gave her a reality check.
She realized how weak she truly was, Fred wasn't even using his powers to defeat them.
Alessia held her breath, she hoped that Damon would swoop in and save the day.
She didn't even know what had happened to Samuel, was he still alive?
That was highly unlikely but she held on to this hope that Samuel could survive this ordeal.
She kept pressing her phone, hoping that it would get Damon on it but it triggered something.
A song began playing from her phone and it was loud.
Alessia panicked and fumbled the phone due to her trembling hand but she managed to put it off by using the volume button, muting the phone in the process but something told her that she was too late.
"Please, Damon… Come back! Save me!" Alessia thought as the footsteps got closer to where she was.
She was frightened and knew that Fred might have her location now but she wasn't going out without a fight.
The moment the footsteps stopped in front of the door, Alessia barged out, pushing the door open.
The wooden door smacked Fred right in the face, prompting the man to stumble back in pain.
Alessia dashed towards the other room she had just escaped from.
Fred followed behind her, he was calm despite the throbbing pain in his head.
"Alessia… Why are you making this difficult?" Fred asked but he couldn't get to her, not before she locked the door behind her.
"Samuel… We need to get ou-!" Alessia's voice broke the moment she saw Samuel's state.
He was dead, there was no doubt about it.
Her eyes teared up, she couldn't believe that things had gotten so bad.
"WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE FRED!?" Alessia screamed because now there was no going back.
Fred wouldn't be forgiven for this, there was no way he could go scot-free because he had just taken the life of a superhero in cold blood.
She didn't know what was wrong with him but this couldn't be Fred.
She pushed a couch behind the door as Fred's voice reverberated.
"Open the fucking door you bitch!" Fred threatened but Alessia wasn't going to let him have his way.
"P-Phone! Where is my phone?!" Alessia thought to herself but she looked at Samuel's corpse and realized he too should have a phone.
She quickly ducked and checked him for a phone.
Alessia's thumping heart regained its rhythm the moment she felt a rectangular shape in his pocket.
She took it out, her hands were trembling and she could barely operate the phone.
"Fuck! Fuck! Get it together Alessia!" Alessia gave herself a little prep-talk and that was enough to give her the necessary courage to pull through.
She dialled Damon and the phone rang and rang, the phone ultimately went to voicemail and Alessia's heart dropped the moment she saw that the door had been breached by Fred.
His head popped through with an eerie smile plastered across his face.
"Found you!"
-
Damon was preoccupied with his investigation, he was questioning people and this included the receptionist that was present the night that Edward was taken.
She must have seen the man that had adopted her, there was no way that she wouldn't have noticed him when he passed by her otherwise he had no way to find out the room that Edward was in.
Damon's phone was on silent so he couldn't hear it ring.
"It's you, you were the other person that came in that night but there was another man. He was a handsome African-American…" The plus-sized lady said and Damon was taken aback because he wasn't there that night so it had to be some sort of mistake.
He had given strict instructions about not letting anyone through but this wasn't the only person that came through that night as the lady was visibly flustered when she was describing Jay.
Salmon couldn't believe that two people were given access but what troubled him was the person that had taken his form.
"I see, how could I have forgotten? Silly me. Did the other man leave with Edward?" Damon asked, he was surprisingly cool about it because he knew that there was no way that the Razor Riddler was going to kill him.
"He left alone, I'm certain about that," The lady reassured Damon and this helped him narrow down his target.
Edward had to hold out long enough for him to save him but luckily, Damon knew who the villain that impersonated him was, he was a man well-known in the underworld.
He was a small-time crook but to think that he was mixed up with the Razor Riddler was scary because this man had a knack for spotting the potential in people.
This was how he found Jay and moulded him into one of the most dangerous killers out there.
Damon was done after a few more questions that took a couple of minutes.
He managed to gather very important information regarding what happened to Edward.
Damon took out his phone to take the number of the receptionist but he saw a couple of missed calls from Samuel, this was because Alessia had used his phone but he didn't know that of course.
Damon called, but no one picked up the phone and Damon couldn't shake that something was up otherwise he wouldn't have so many missed calls.
Damon decided to pop in and he instantly teleported to the office but what he saw horrified him.
He saw Samuel's body on the floor, face up but his trousers were missing and the reason why he didn't have them on was revealed.
Alessia's decapitated head was placed on his crotch with his dick in her mouth and on the wall written in blood was;
"GOOD LUCK FINDING ME NOW!"
Damon's eyes went bloodshot as he was overcome with pure rage.
"Thanatos, you fucking bastard!"
