Let's Have A Deal

~SIESTA VALLEY~

“Trevor, have you anyhow succeeded in connecting with Timothy? It’s been almost more than 12 hours since he left the Valley and we haven’t heard of him yet! And where is that Nexus again?” Dankein asked with a strong commanding tone. Trevor was granted two days off, but after all this mess cleared.

“No, My Lord. We haven’t heard anything in this context. And about Nexus, he was last seen entering the Dawn Mountains with Timothy approximately an hour ago. But we don’t know their exact location now.” Trevor reported with a bow.

“Why?” Dankein questioned again caressing the furry creature in his lap, and Alfie just purred under his snuggling touch curling itself more into him and tucking its tails underneath its abdomen. Everyone in the room, the guards, the dream-catcher who established the connection along with Trevor looked at Dankein and the creature with narrowed eyes and fear in their hearts. One wrong answer and they were done for.
