Demise

"How may I help you, sir?" Said the woman at the gate of the mansion.

Her voice was soft, and as she stared at Raphael, there was a noble look on her face. Almost as though she were aware of his status.

Raphael, however, had the usual expression on his face, "I want this man," Raphael said, and then showed Jake's picture to the woman.

The same manner in which the man from the counter reacted when he laid eyes on the picture also emerged from the woman.

"I haven't seen him here." The woman responded.

"But, young man, I must warn you, whatever it is you want this man for, it best you forget it. The man is a monster, and only death befalls those who seek for him." She added.

Nonetheless, after hearing all that was said, the look on Raphael's face didn't change in the slightest.

He was least concerned about those who had died in the cause of search for Jake and ignoring the woman, he moved past her very quickly.
