Chapter 52

That night everyone stayed at a local hotel. Kevin noticed Mia got along with everyone really fast and he also noticed Bella loved being able to play with the other dogs. He decided to leave the room and phone Mike. It was a phone call he knew he had to make but what made him unsure was the fact that he had to tell Mike what Jasmine had said.

"Kevin tell me your on your way back with Mia?" Mike asked.

"Well, we will be heading back soon?" Kevin said.

"Why soon, I thought we had an agreement," Mike said.

"Well, lets see Mia took the ranger test and passed," Kevin said.

"Wait she took the job?" Mike asked.

"Yes, and I spoke to Jasmine. The council knows Mia is John and Zara's daughter but i had to ask her to give us the resources to help the elemental users instead of sending people to spy on the base. I informed them that we were not a circus," Kevin said.

Mike took a deep breath and said, "you do know the base isn't going to like this one at all?"

"Yes, but what else could i do its either this or more people like Clara spying on the base," Kevin told Mike.

"I don't like this, this is why Mia should have stayed put on the base," Mike said.

"The base doesn't like freeloaders, at least now she has a job to do, so they can not complain," Kevin said.

"Yes but in doing so, clover got more attention," Mike complained.

"Yet you forgot that Clara is still watching the base despite the fact that Mia isn't there anymore. We need to find the elemental user she is spying on and we need to know how to help them but we can not help them unless we have the resources," Kevin said.

"Yes, I know that Kevin but I didn't need the council's help. They are making things worse by sending us these people," Mike complained.

"Stop complaining Mike, at least she achieved something," Kevin said.

"I suppose congratulations is in order so when are we expecting you back?" Mike asked.

"As soon as the repairs on Mia's truck is done. Molly thought it was very funny to damage it again only this time I had to help pay for the repairs. She not only broke the windows but the truck is full of dents and it needs to be resprayed," Kevin said.

"Will that woman ever give it a rest?" Mike asked.

"I don't know but a case has been made against her at the police station. The good news is Leo's team is coming with us?" Kevin said.

"Leo's team is coming to Clover?" Mike asked.

"Yes, and Mary Anne asked them to mentor Mia. Leo also agreed to mentor Red's team when they pass. She was supper excited when she heard the news of a second ranger team for clover," Kevin said.

"Well, at least one good thing came from all this trouble," Mike said.

"No, i think we had more than one good thing coming from this?" Kevin said.

"What do you mean?" Mike asked.

"Well, John trained Mia really well. He didn't trust that Sally's test would be accurate so he trained Mia in what he thought her true power would be," Kevin said.

"And that is?" Mike asked.

Kevin told Mike everything that had happened. "I am just glad to see her so relaxed. At the base, she is always tense so maybe we're not helping her by locking her up," Kevin said.

"Well, she is used to having freedom like this but maybe this trip did her good," Mike said.

"Yes and she gets along with Leo's team very well but I have to warn you. She knows how to create cold mist," Kevin said.

"Zara thought her daughter that dangerous skill?" Mike asked.

"Yes but it sounds like they taught the skill to Mia for the use of self defence. All thought John did tell Mia to never use her powers in anger," Kevin said.

"Sounds like John trained Mia really well?" Mike said.

"Yes and that's why i think we need to trust Mia on this. Help her instead of locking her up. John had the right idea but from how Mia was talking this afternoon. He saw the kidnapping coming?" Kevin said.

"How is that possible?" Mike asked.

"My brother even as a child was able to tell when a change was coming and it sounds like he prepared Mia for when that was going to happen. They were taken but I have to question if it was by force or not," Kevin said.

"The house was almost burned to the ground, Kevin. Do you think John did that to make it look like a kidnapping?" Mike asked. "I don't know there is no proof for what I suspect Mike but let's keep it between us okay?" Kevin asked.

"Yes, until we know more but since John could tell when a change was coming any chance Mia has this skill?" Mike asked.

"I don't think so but if she has it, it hasn't awakened yet," Kevin said.

"Will it be trouble when it does awaken?" Kevin asked. "Yes, but my brother prepared her for it. Our job is to continue where he left off. She's not alone Mike but I do wonder. What was my brother thinking. He is not the type to let himself be captured," Kevin said.

"I know you are worried Kevin but you keep forgetting Mia might hear you," Mike said.

"I know but nothing about his kidnapping makes sense," Kevin said.

"You're not the only thing that thinks that," Mike said.

"Any way we should get Mia's truck tomorrow and then we will make our way back," Kevin said.

Kevin said good buy to Mike and walked back to the hotel but something stopped him. He looked around to see the same black truck Jasmine was driving turn into the garage of an old building. The sign said the building was scheduled to be demolished and Kevin couldn't help but wonder why Jasmine would be going into a building that was clearly too dangerous to enter.

He walked across the road and inspected the building. He found a spot between two fences where he could see what was going on. He listened closely and discovered Jasmine was one of Clara's organizations. "I thought I told you to make sure Mia does not join the rangers. As long as she is with them she is useless to us," the man said.

"I tried but John trained her too well. I suspect she might have been out of reach from the start," came another voice. Kevin recognized the voice as Zacks. "What do you mean Zack?" Jasmine asked.

"Both Kevin and John came from another country Jasmine or did you forget. Their way of doing things is different from ours and you need to remember they came here from a place that hunted elementals like them," Zack said.

"I thought you needed her for this project?" Jasmine asked. "No, but i do need you to buy us a little more time. It won't be long before we have our army of elemental users completed and then we will rule over the world just like we were destined," Zack said.

"What about Clover?" Jasmine asked. "They can not do anything anymore, even if they heard what we were planning its to late. Zara has already given us what we want. Mia is of no use to anyone. We only used her to get Zara to give us what we need," Zack said. "What about John?" Jasmine asked. "O we send him back to his father. The king was all too happy to see one of the lost prince's return. Just as long as the king doesn't learn he has a daughter already," Zack said.

"Are you not afraid of what might happen if he learns of her existence?" Jasmine asked.

"No, when he does learn it will be too late and guess what he helped me with my ultimate plan. One day we will rule the WORLD," Zack said.

Kevin knew right there and then Mia. Had the same skill as her father. The ability to tell when a change was comming. The ability to tell when to trust someone and when not to trust someone but all he can do is hope that Jasmine wouldn't send them a bunch of traitors.

"So it does not matter who we send to help them out with the elementals training?" Jasmine asked. "Give them the best Jasmine becasue even there best can not win this war," Zack said.

Kevin remained in hiding long after the trucks had left and returned to the hotel without being seen. Not even the building cameras could see him. Back inside the hotel Leo knew imediatly something was wrong. Kevin told Leo everything who looked worried at Mia. "If your brother is with your father what will happen if he desided to hunt Mia down?" Leo asked.

"I dont know but i suspect this is going to turn into one nasty war. We need to becarefull from now on. It looks like Zack has a few powerfull allies," Kevin siad.
