Tobias Whale was not a happy man. Something that made his lieutenants very uneasy, since when Tobias was angry, people got killed. Not that they minded that part, they just hated having to do the cleanup.

However, Tobias's anger was unavoidable after he'd seen the newscast this morning about Black Lightning making his return from the apparent dead had him furious, working hard to put out those fires on the shadow board, since the whole way he'd gotten their attention was by killing Black Lightning, but now that it looked like he'd failed at doing that, the board no longer supported him. That was another thing he'd have to deal with. But first, he needed to take care of a loose thread that was currently in lockup at Freeland Police Department. Which was where he was currently walking through the back of, thanks to the cops he had on his payroll allowing him to sneak in the back entrance as he entered the cellblock to find Lala waiting for him and as Tobias expected, Lala did not look surprised to see him.

"Well Latavious, this is a fine mess you've gotten us into. I want to be clear, Black Lightning is dead, I killed him years ago. Whoever it is, they're running around and jeopardizing my interests and it's your fault. What do you have to say for yourself." Tobias asked angrily.

"You're wrong. It was Black Lightning. And he gave me a message to give to you." Lala said.

"Really, and what might that message be?" Tobias asked.

"He told me to tell you that you failed to kill him and now that he's back, he's planning on finishing what he started the last time you two locked horns. He's coming for you." Lala said.

"And if that really is him, then I'll be ready. I nearly killed him once, this time I'll finish the job. But for now, I need to tie up loose ends. Starting with you Lala." Tobias said aiming a gun at him, only to have Tori stop him.

"What are you doing sister?" Tobias asked his sister.

"Killing him while in police custody, that raises questions. Besides, he could still have his uses." Tori said.

"Really, like what?" Tobias asked.

"We need someone to draw this new Black Lightning out and it appears that he's developed animosity with Lala here. We can use Lala as bait to draw Black Lightning out and you can finish what you started." Tori said and Tobias thought about it before putting his gun away.

"Looks like today's your lucky day Lala. Now, you'll need to go to prison to avoid arousing suspicion, but since I have guards at the prison on my payroll and several of those prisoners are my associates, I can pull some strings to arrange circumstances to get you out in a way that will be sure to draw Black Lightning out. Just sit tight in the meantime and don't make me regret not lighting your ass up here and now. Especially since I have more pressing matters to deal with at this moment than your incompetence. Sit tight." Tobias said as he and Tori left the cell.

"Sir, we have searched all of Freeland, but there has been no sigh of it. It's possible that it's not even in Freeland anymore." Major Grey said to Agent Odell.

"Well, I think I may have found a clue to finding it." Odell said as he turned on the news report of Black Lightning's return.

"You think Black Lightning stole the briefcase. Sir, he's been inactive for years and he shouldn't even know the ASA exists." Grey said.

"I'm aware of that, but right now, he is the most likely suspect. This just makes it even more urgent that we uncover his identity." Odell said.

"We'll divert what resources we can into that." Grey said.

"Good. Now get back to work and major, do not come back here unless you have either a location for the briefcase or Black Lightning's identity." Odell said and Grey nodded as she left his office and Odell sat back in his chair, wondering what the next move would be and who would be the one to make it.
