I considered telling them the real name but decided against it. Had to focus on the kid for now, and revealing too much would raise questions.

"I didn't catch the name," I said, keeping my voice serious. "But I heard this drug causes transformations… something like a demon."

Christian and Vanessa, their masked faces intense, took in the information. Christian spoke, his tone cautious but determined.

"There's something similar going on with Syndicate. Not sure I should say this, but that kid reminds me of a lot of the enemies we fought back then."

Vanessa nodded. "That seems true. So either Syndicate is making the drug, or they're working for someone who is."

I listened, knowing both were right.
