ROOTS

Quinn sat at a large round table within a vast white room. On his left sat Aran, his hands folded and a definite scowl on his face, and opposite them were General Wasashi and General Drake.

"I won't waste any time and get down to business." General Wasashi said. He waved his hand above the table and a hologram popped up, it showed two people standing side by side, conversing. The first person was Lord Frieda, and the second was the boy they had met.

Aran leaned forward while General Wasashi continued, "This picture was taken two nights ago by one of our spies. The location is just outside the base, close to our military outpost. Lord Frieda had been suspect for some time now for illegal activities, but we are still yet to get any concrete evidence against him,"

He pressed a button and the scene changed. It now showed Frieda entering a carriage, but the boy was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, what happened to the boy?" Aran asked.
