He barely escapes the flying glass and metal fragments now. He cleans his apartment with medical alcohol to remove blood. He checks his guns for the next fight against his foes. Evan calls Jack for technical advice about a traced call. Jack warns him about the past being alive and very close. Another Orphan is hunting him for the agency and its boss. It is Candy McClure, a killer with a red blade.

The trap closes in a dark lot behind the store. Evan fights through a parking garage alone against many men. He hides in a safe house downtown near the train tracks. He treats a wound on his arm using a needle. Mia asks him to dinner at her place on Sunday. He says no because he must stay ready for battle at night. He finds a bug in his phone battery while taking it apart. He destroys it with a heavy hammer on the floor. Candy attacks him inside a store full of home goods. They fight with knives near the back door of the shop.
She escapes into the moving traffic under the street lights. Evan is bleeding from a cut on his side now. He learns about the Orphan Program leader who wants him dead to hide the truth. The leader is Charles Van Sciver, a cruel man. Van Sciver wants Evan dead to stop him from speaking out. He sends a team of paid killers to finish him.
Evan traps his own home with wires and small mines. He waits in the dark kitchen with a loaded gun. The team enters through the front door with their weapons. The floor explodes with heat and fire in the hall.
Evan kills the team with his pistol in the smoke. He spares one man to get names of the leaders. He gets an address from the man before he dies. It is a desert ranch far away from the coast. He drives through the night on highways with no lights. He drinks tea to stay awake behind the wheel. He arrives at the ranch before dawn when it is cold. He uses a thermal scope to see enemies in the grass. He shoots the generators with a rifle from a hill. The lights die and the house goes dark. He enters the house through a window on the side. He moves fast through the halls toward the main room. He finds Van Sciver in a bedroom near the back. They talk about the old days in the desert camp. Candy returns with her weapon drawn to stop the man. She chooses a side against her boss to save Evan. She shoots Van Sciver in the chest with a pistol. She lets Evan go because of Jack and his lessons.
Evan burns the ranch with gas and a small match. He leaves no traces of his visit in the ash. He returns home to his clean room in the city. He sees Mia and her son eating breakfast together today. He thinks about his life and choices as a ghost. He is alone in the quiet dark with his thoughts. The phone rings in his hand during the late hour. A new person needs help with a problem they face. He answers the call with a breath and a nod. He asks, "Do you need help?" to the voice on line. [5] Evan accepts the mission for the caller in the night. He starts his car and drives away into the city. [3]
