The Seen Unseen. IV

Dylan tried calling Jaden's number several times, but for some reason, it wasn't going through.

Emily on the other hand paced up and down the room, thinking of the situation. Dylan threw his phone on the bed when the line couldn't connect once again, and he let himself fall freely on the couch.

"Should we tell Cyrus about this?" Emily asked.

"No, I think we should keep it a secret until we are really sure" Dylan suggested.

"But if he comes back to work, try to act natural. Don't let him know we've found out something about him" He added.

"Well I don't think he's showing up any day soon, since his sister is in your custody. They are definitely searching for her, and you guys have to return her as soon as possible, and without any trace" Emily said.

"I hope it would be that easy. Who knows what kind of creatures they actually are. What if we return her and she tells Archer I was involved in this?" Dylan questioned.

"It's better you guys return her, than Archer finds out on his own where she is. And by the way, she will never come here again, so she won't be able to tell Archer about you" She said, matter-of-

factly. Dylan nodded. Emily sighed, staring at the blank space ahead of her.

"You okay?" Dylan asked, tilting his head to the right side. She lowered her sight and sighed again, this time playing with her fingers.

"It's nothing, I'm just upset"

"Upset about what?" he asked, taking a seat beside her. She took a glance at him, and then back at the ground.

"This is about Archer right?"

"Of course it's about Archer, we've been talking about him for hours now". She replied as she suspended her arms mid-air.

"You know what I'm talking about, I mean you and Archer"

"Tsk... I mean, why does the one guy I've like have to be abnormal?"

"He's... not... abnor..." he said, mid- sentence before Emily shot him an angry glare.

"And for the record, he's not the only guy you've liked" Dylan said, causing Emily to roll her eyes in surrender.

Dylan patted her back with a smirk

"Don't worry okay, Jaden's actually running the whole test stuff, and in no time we'll know what they really are" Dylan said, before he got up, headed for the bathroom.

Emily sighed again.

"You know, I just wish I could see what Archer truly looks like..."

"And who said you can't...?"
