- Message

Although the room had been sound proofed, it could still be easily intercepted by any member of the dark force. And in the last few years the leader of the dark force had made huge investments on advancing the technology and this method of sound proofing which Bill had used was already outdated.

With the telepathic message they had received from Rachael, although they were not sure on the exact details, they did not want to rule out any possibility of the dark forces already having made their way to earth.

So as an extra precaution Jim started speaking to his dad in very low tone which was little louder than a whisper.

"Ray, Dark forces, urgent, danger, help, Rachael, Teleported."

The rest of the conversation between dad and son were all in a hushed tone.

"Jim was the message encrypted?"

Jim nodded his head, "Nope, it was not encrypted but from what I sensed i could feel it was adequately protected, but I am not sure what technique was used"

"Was that all in the message? Did it say who was teleported or any other details? Could you sense where the message was coming from?"

"No dad, that is all I received, I don't know where the message originated from as it was not like any other regular telepathic message. All I could feel the desperation and helplessness in Rachael's voice. From what I felt her entire family may be in danger but what have the dark forces got to do with their family? "

Although Bill knew bits and pieces of information about Pfiffers family, Jim had absolutely no clue about it. Bill felt it was better to hide certain information from Jim until the time it was absolutely necessary for Jim to know.

Bill was thinking. He wanted to confirm things before he took any further decision. He pulled his little diary from his pocket which had all the contacts in it, which he always carried with him. He never wanted to rely on the contact numbers stored in his phone. He always feared loosing his phone.

He opened the diary to check,if he had noted the contact details of Mr.Samuel Pfiffer. He wasn't sure if he had taken his details before he moved here.

Fortunately enough along with Mr. Samuel's personal number he had also made a note of where he worked at that time. But there was no details about where the office was located or the office contact details. Like most people , Bill never felt the necessity at that time to take down his office details, as he could easily call his number if required.

He asked Jim to look for the contact number of his office on the internet , just in case they wanted it, while he was thinking to come up with a reason and a way to speak with Samuel.

He could not call Samuel directly on his number or even on his office number as he would be calling him after so many years.

If the dark forces had reached earth, looking for Ray the possibility of them capturing the entire Pfiffer family will be high. They could be suspicious and think something is fishy if Bill called the Pfiffer's directly especially that Thomas's were also from the same base planet. This would unnecessarily put both the families at risk. The dark forces would not spare anyone trying to help the Pfiffers.

Finally he seemed to have decided on the plan. He asked Jim if had found the details and Jim nodded. He then asked Jim if he and Rachael had any common friends.

Jim paused for a moment to think if he knew of any such common friends and then he looked up at his Dad and said "Yes, dad we had these two common friends named Natalie and Robin while at school. I don't know if they are still in touch with Rachael. But as of now I am only in touch with Robin, as his office is next to ours"

"Got it, do you think Robin is in touch with Natalie? " Bill asked and Jim shrugged his shoulders indicating he wasn't aware of it. He had never thought of asking Robin about it. As adults their life had become so busy they never had opportunities to discuss on all these.

"Jim if you could request Robin to come over to our home but not tell him anything over the phone." He mentioned that he will talk to Robin while he is here and Jim had to just get him here.

Jim agreed to what his dad just said, and dialled Robins number.

It was a Friday evening and people were in a weekend mood. Robin was packing his stuff ready to go home when he received a call from Jim. He was a little surprised as Jim had not called him in like ages although their offices were next to each other's.

"Hello mate ,what's up? It's been quite a long time we spoke. How have you been? " Robin answered Jim's call.

" I am doing very well Robin. Hope everything is great with you too . Hey buddy you've got some time today. "

"Yeah very much. I have no plans for the rest of the day. Was just about to hop out of office. What's cooking? " Robin said in a relaxed tone.

"Dad and I need some help on certain information from you. We are planning to set up a food venture and since your family is already into food business my dad suggested to have a casual talk with you. Mind hopping over to our place on your way back home?"

"Sure why not? I'll just have to let Sonia know that I may be late. I don't want her to get worried"

"No problem mate. Take you time. See you in a while. Bye bye "

After Jim hung up the call, he looked at his dad, who seemed glad that how his son had managed to convince his friend.

Jim had no choice and had to put in convincing way not to raise any suspicion even if someone had tapped their phones. And both Bill and Jim knew very well that the dark forces would interfere in their personal space if they found out.

They also wanted to make sure while they took help from Robin and Natalie who were normal humans from earth, were not put into danger.

While the dark forces had raged havoc in their base planet declaring their supremacy, many families due to fear had moved out of their planet overnight. And the Thomases's were one of them.
