Once he was a safe distance away, Daniel stopped and pulled out his phone. He sent a text message to the number that had texted him earlier: Nearly killed by car. License plate Québec 317DAC. Look into it.

Daniel stowed his phone, got back on his bike, and kept riding. He left the side street and headed back towards city.

Again, he ran over the clues in his head. Captain’s Fate. Perforate. Enlightenment. 24601. Elevate … Elevate …

Daniel looked up and saw blue spotlights in the sky. They couldn’t have been on for long, or he would have noticed them earlier. It’s about time for the clubs to open, he thought as he rode towards the lights.

At last, he came to the correct road. The street was lined with clubs in full swing. Daniel kept riding until he reached the one with the blue spotlights.

Daniel stopped across the road. He stared at the sign. It was a blue arrow, much like the ones he had seen earlier, with the word “elevate” written on it in black.

“Enlightement indeed.”
