Part 4 of 4

The search for Fusor took a deadly new turn.  Both Haram and Claude realize their assumptions about the killer have led them down the wrong path.  But now Fusor has turned the tables and directed her lethal powers onto Haram…

Fusor is drawing all the life out of Haram.  She tells him, “Rollo was my cute distraction.  He kept you off my scent for years.  But you wouldn’t leave well enough alone.  You made Rollo nervous.  Which made him a lot less cute.  Now be quiet and die.”

Meanwhile, Claude is reaching for a nearby branch.  Fusor hears him, but when she turns to look, he is gone.  He has turned invisible, and, hidden from her view, he hurls the debris at her, nailing her right in the temple.

Haram struggles to his feet, and Claude pleads with him to help free him so they can apprehend Fusor.  Ignoring him, Haram approaches Fusor.  “Think you should know what it feels like,” he says, grabbing her hands and placing them on her own face, “havin’ your whole life sucked away from you…”  With that, she dissolves into a cloud of dust.

Claude chastises Haram, saying that they were supposed to take Fusor in alive.  Haram doesn’t care…he is done with the company.  Claude pleads with him to wait…to give him some time to find a suitable replacement.  They agree that Haram will give Claude six months.

A little bit later, Claude is entering the Primatech offices.  He comments to the receptionist that his partner seems to be late, and asks if he has arrived.  With that, she introduces him to his new partner, Noah Bennet.  Claude is angry that Haram broke his promise, but before he can protest the receptionist opens the door for him, saying “I’m afraid that won’t be possible, Claude.  He’s retired.  Now hurry in.  Mr. Thompson is waiting for you both…”
