Chapter 1 - Riots and Restitution

Despite the progressive nature of London and the once-thriving human race, the planet Earth has been sent into turmoil and unrest after it was unveiled that those in power are not only committing atrocious acts, but such acts are being desensitized and obscured to the general population. Streets glow as fires rage alongside the few who stand brave enough to demand answers, although they often fall silent once they are enlightened. The Government deem their disappearance poetic justice after once again obscuring the reality and painting protesters as people to be avoided for the greater good of all. This ongoing cover-up eventually becomes something of great interest within society, missing person reports flood all major cities leaving behind a hoard of angry parents and bereaved children, all of whom have one question on their lips.

  

'Who will return our loved ones?'

10am - Inglorious Reggie Fernsby wakes up in his home borough of Hackney, as a muscular cockney male living on a council estate he naturally ranks highly within the society and is not to be messed with. Reggie works nights as a Bouncer for a renowned club in Central London and often does not get home until the early hours of the morning, he claims he prefers this to his old lifestyle. Reggie was a cockney gangster back in the 60s, prestigious within London town though he gave it all up for his late wife Rosetta who was caught in a drive-by. Reg had moved on from all forms of criminality but still, he remains open to the idea of putting someone to the ground if need be. Reggie is, by all means, a family man which is why he was infuriated to discover the disappearance of his brother Barry. Barry worked covertly as a rat for the National Crime Agency so it was never unusual for the Fernsbys to be on the lookout for him but this seemed different. After seeing the civil unrest caused by the sheer number of missing people Reggie Fernsby himself decided it was time to take things into his own hands and find his brother.

10:30am - As Reginald climbs out of bed, a breaking headline suddenly appears on his television claiming that a missing person had miraculously returned to civilisation though his family claimed he was suffering a great illness of which they could not treat within their home, instead, he was being treated in one of London's main hospitals dealing with tropical diseases. With this new information, Reggie heads down the apple and pears on his way University College Hospital to make this incredibly ill man cough up a clue as to where Barry is.
