James and Norman shove through the crowd, fighting to reach Daryl, but a man blocks them. He says his name is Mitch. “The bat’s gone. Walk away before this gets worse.” "Daryl is in power with The Hunters now." James insists when Marc wins the election, he’ll defund the Hunters. Mitch shakes his head. This Hunter regime is government-backed, and the government itself answers to something unseen and powerful. They bring Mitch to Marc and explain. Marc urges—once elected, he’ll end it legally. Strider storms in with worse news: the same shadow organization funding the Hunters is now openly endorsing Eugene Shepard and the Dark Agency’s rebrand—Wraith. With money, weapons, and influence, Shepard may be guaranteed victory. Marc argues elections can’t be rigged. James and Strider warn him the rules only work when everyone follows them. That night Marc sorts old Ghost belongings. He reaches Bo’s rifle and sealed letters marked “C. Hunter.” Reading them, he learns Bo had a son—estranged. Marc decides to find him. He takes James and Norman while Strider stays with Red and Mitch to investigate the backers. They land in a fishing town on Zephyrus Island. The address leads nowhere, but a dockside bar points them to a worker starting later. They wait for hours. Norman drinks and mouths off; James throws darts. Near sundown, Norman starts a fight with a waiter—and gets dropped with one punch. Marc apologizes and asks the waiter’s name. “Clint,” he says. Marc freezes. He’s found Bo’s son.
