Chapter 45

"What was up with the SOS?" Chloe inquired as she walked inside Nell's office.

"Do you want to go on a road trip?" Nell inquired.

"Wait, what?" Chloe inquired.

"If we're going to find Ruby, I think the first step should be determining what happened following the tragedy." Chloe nodded as Nell spoke.

"That makes sense. So, where are we headed?" Chloe inquired as Nell placed a map on the desk.

"Here. This property was the final place Jacob and I checked after receiving a phone call from Ruby, but because we never found her, we felt it was a dead end." Nell stated.

"Do you suppose the owner of this farm lied to you?" Chloe inquired, and Nell nodded.

"That's why, while we're looking into the farm, Luke will be looking into the owner and seeing if he can find them down." Nell stated.

"Do you know what it's called?" Chloe inquired.

"Jason Tucker," he says. Since that name was still on the land deed, Nell explained.

"Great. Is there any connection between you and Xavier Tucker, who is being held in M.R.C. Jail?" " Chloe inquired.

"Robert is now working on it. I told him to phone Jacob if he finds any connections while we're looking around the farm for any clues, we might have missed the last time. Or anything that can point us in the direction of where she's holding Ruby right now." " Nell stated.

"Nell, are you sure you're not trying to reassemble Microsoft X's old crew with the women he adored?" Chloe inquired.

"No. Nichole is one of my previous commanders in courses if she has been holding Ruby prisoner for years." Nell stated.

"I'm just saying that no one understands a complicated existence like I do. My birth father is a mob leader who is responsible for my mother's death. Sure, everything worked out in the end for me, but" Chloe stated.

"I'll deal with my feelings about Nichole once she's rotting in an M.R.C. cell." Nell stated.

"Okay, just to be sure. I watched how my King Owl's battle with King Ice affected him, and you know how that ended, so this fight is even more personal for you." Chloe stated.

"Nichole will not be murdered by me. Her death, no matter how much she deserves it, will not occur at my hands. And I know I won't cross it because, unlike King Owl, I have people who can draw me back. I have a group. Perhaps if King Owl had one, instead of being alone while everyone else was coming apart, he would still be here." Chloe smiled as Nell spoke.

"When are we leaving?" Chloe inquired.

"I'll be there in a few minutes," Nell responded.

Later that day, Jacob was perplexed as to why Nell's IT guy had summoned him to his office when he wasn't even present.

"Thank you for coming, Mr. Borge." Robert replied as he extended his hand to Jacob, who shook it hesitantly, as Robert could sense.

"Where have my daughter and Nell gone?" Jacob inquired.

"She's following up on Ruby and her child, but he asked me to do some research and I discovered something I thought I should tell you because he's not returning my calls right now." Robert stated.

"What exactly is it?" Jacob inquired, a little impatiently.

"Nell is currently looking into the farm where you last looked, and he asked me to look into the farm's owner, Dr. Xavier Tucker." Robert stated.

"So," Jacob inquired.

"Remember how, when Nichole first got active, she sought Cyber Chameleon's release from M.R.C. Digital Prison?" Robert inquired, and Jacob began to see where he was heading with this.

"What's the link between the two?" Jacob inquired.

"Cyber Chameleon is revealed to be Xavier Tucker's son. Jason Tucker is Cyber Chameleon. He might have some information on Ruby and her son's current location." Robert stated.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Robert. But I have to leave now." Jacob responded, this time giving Robert a genuine handshake before walking out, and Robert rolled his eyes, perplexed as to how Jacob had never put those puzzle pieces together himself.
