Zack was on his way to the place where Chris had killed someone
'apparently he was with someone else according to Kevin's message... damn it both Kevin and Chris have gone silent and Nick is knocked out... maybe it's that person who was with them!?'
Art sent a message 'calm down... Kevin will deal with it'
'I hope so' Zack replied, then he was suddenly saw someone tailing him!
He did a sudden stop and twisted his body to land a punch but as the figure leaped back to dodge he ended up falling on the ground, as the figure walked towards him smiling Zack tried to move back but before he could the figure leaped at him with a knife and then....
Bang!... a red hole appeared on the man's forehead as he fell down lifeless.
"You should be careful while coming alone... especially as a beyonder" The man who had shot the other one, the one who had saved him turned to him
"The name's Jean... Jean Gustavo, The Fool's Hunt"
The man looked at him for a few awkward silent moments before saying "well?... what are you waiting for? on your feet... let's get you to your patient"
Zack stood up flustered and followed the man while muttering "right..."

As he reached the scene Zack stood over the body for a moment, analyzing the corpse of the now dead assailant, Chris spoke up "well?... what think your Sherlock or something?"
The reference from Earth caused a sudden reaction in Jean, He asked with wide eyes "what did you say?"
Chris stammered "umm... he's a-a"
Zack covered for his friend "a famous detective!"
Chris added "in a famous novel!"
Zack nodded "yep in a famous novel!"
After a near miss with their identities as earthlings, Zack focused on the divination using a pendulum
"this is the antidote to the concoction"
"this is the antidote to the concoction"
"this is the antidote to the concoction"
"this is the antidote to the concoction"
"this is the antidote to the concoction"
"this is the antidote to the concoction"
"this is the antidote to the concoction"
after repeating the statement seven times he watched the pendulum spin in the clockwise direction.
