lded into the crowd, Erik and June had moved like phantoms. The surrounding city was increasing its activities since the night started.
A symphony of sights and sounds that were both chaotic and harmonious engulfed them like a wave and allowed them to talk without the fear of being heard. If they wished.
Neon lights danced upon the surfaces of buildings, casting multicolored glows that bathed the streets in an ethereal hue.
Erik said, his tone devoid of emotion.
June asked.
Erik and June had moved through the city like shadows, their forms blending seamlessly into the urban tapestry.
They navigated the labyrinth of streets with ease, not only because of the two's powers, but also by taking advantage of the many people outside.
After so ti walking, they arrived at the rcenary's residence, a towering skyscraper that pierced the sky.
The building was a marvel of modern architecture, with reflective glass mirroring the city's neon lights.
The skyscraper was in one of the city's most prestigious districts. It looked like the man's murders weren't for nothing. But he couldn't judge that yet. He needed to see the apartnt yet.
The duo entered, with June rushing in at top speed. A sign said dogs weren't allowed, so the clone sprinted at top speed to avoid being seen.
The entrance to the skyscraper was grand, with a large revolving door that led to a spacious lobby.
Inside, the lobby was as opulent as the exterior, with marble floors and high ceilings. A large reception desk sat in the middle, manned by robotic assistants who attended to residents and visitors.
Erik and June had slipped past the reception desk unnoticed. They made their way to the elevator, which whisked them up to the rcenary's apartnt on one of the higher floors.
Exhaustion weighed heavily on Erik and June. Their journey to the city had been long and arduous, and upon their arrival, they were thrust into a battle for survival.
The relentless pace of the day afforded them no respite to eat or sleep.
Erik, in particular, faced the added strain of infiltrating the rcenary guild to gather the information he needed.
The toll of their schedule was clear in their weary movents, and the fatigue etched on their faces. Despite their resilience, the physical and ntal demands of the day had pushed them to their limits.
Erik said, leaving it at that. He didn't elaborate further, choosing to keep his plans to himself. If he needed June's help, he would just tell him what to do. However, there was so unease in his tone. If he didn't kill the man as soon as he stepped inside the apartnt, or as soon as they entered, they would bound to make a commotion, and that was going to be dangerous.
