We Got A Lead!

"He's gone. I left the core in the kitchen, with the Beasts meats." Sylvia answered.

Advika stared at her Sister for some seconds, sighed, and walked inside the house, heading to the kitchen.

"Who's Chris? And what core are you talking about?" Their mum asked with a slight frown.

"Come in, Mom. And I'll tell you everything." Sylvia smiled.

The woman stared at her daughter with a frown, but still entered the house.

"Chris is a guy we met on the hunt, he helped us in the battle, and also with the Beasts meat... He even helped us prepare them."

"Really?" The woman sat down on the couch, staring at Sylvia.

"Yes."

"Did he ask for anything in return?"

"Nope, he also said--"

"--Sylvia!! To the kitchen, now!!"

Sylvia was shaken hearing her sister's loud yell, she looked over her shoulder, seeing Advika standing at the door.

"Go, there might be something she needs... I'll check up on your father." Their mother stood up, and walked towards the bedroom.

Sylvia took a deep breath and exhaled, then walked towards Advika, who entered the kitchen waiting for her.

Sylvia opened the door, and carefully moved past the meats she arranged on the ground, and stopped beside her sister.

"Have you checked this bag?" Advika asked, pointing at the bag on the tray.

"Nope." Sylvia shook her head.

Advika moved to the side, and gestured for her to opened it... Sylvia was confused by her sister's action... So she cautiously stretched forth her hands, and slowly opened the zipper on the bag.

"Oh my god!!"

She exclaimed seeing the six cores in the bag, Sylvia turned to her sister in shock.

"Sister, You have all these cores, and you didn't tell me about it, I thought we promised ourselves to never keep things from the other?"

Advika facepalmed herself: "What the hell are you saying, Sylvia?! Those aren't mine, I called you here so you can tell me who it belongs to!"

Sylvia was stunned, she lowered her gaze on the bag, and her eyes widened in surprise.

[Christopher: "This is your sister's core."]

"Chris placed them inside."

Advika was silent hearing her sister, she knew for sure there was only one core in the bag before giving it to Chris to look after, but now... There are five extra in the bag.

'Did he really give us five perfect Beasts' cores without asking or taking anything in return? Who really are you Chris?'

Her thought was interrupted by her sister.

"Chris is such a good guy! Sister, what's the cost of these cores?"

"Hmm..." Advika thought for a moment, and nodded. "They're all perfect stage cores, one is 1,000 Dollars, so six will be 6,000."

"Wow!! Such huge amount! We can pay for Dad's medical treatment with that amount, and even pay for your fees too!!"

"My Fees cost 5,000 dollars, and Dad's treatment cost 1,000... What about you guys? There won't be any money left for foodstuffs or to sustain us." Advika said, and turned her head to the meats arranged on the ground.

"Unless... Is the cart ready?"

"Yes." Sylvia nodded.

"Good, I'll take the things to sell, stay with Mom and Dad... I'll be back... Vicki!!"

The cat walked inside the kitchen, its eyes sparkled seeing the meats on the ground.

"Don't even think about it, Vicki! We are selling this!"

The cat looked up at her, and slowly nodded its head.

"Come on, Sylvia, help me take them outside." Advika picked up a huge dried meat, and placed it on her shoulder, walking out from the kitchen.

Vicki bit into one, and dragged it, following Behind her.

Sylvia moved her gaze on the meats, and picked the lightest one, and carried it outside.

After 30 minutes, they were finally done arranging everything on the wooden cart. Advika covered it with a black plastic nylon, and smiled at her Sister.

"We'll be going to the black market first, to sell the core, then the market." Her cat grew in size, standing one meter tall... And started pushing the cart from behind.

"Ok Sister! Be careful." Sylvia waved at her, watching as the two walked away from the place.

[Capital.]

[Valhalla Family's Villa.]

"Sob-hick-sob! Why haven't they found my Son yet?!"

Amara sat on the couch crying heavily, tears all over her face.

"Look at what you're doing to yourself, Mum? Will big brother be happy if he sees you like this?" Katherine, who sat beside her said, trying to calm their mum down.

"No! You must find your brother!" Amara cried even louder.

"Mum, Draki is flying all over the city looking for Brother, he'll give me a signal if he sees him... There's nothing at the moment." Adonis who sat on another sofa said.

"Yes, Woman! Stop crying... It's not like Christopher is a child!"

"That's easy for you to say, Old man! Keep quiet and let me cry! (Sobs!)"

'I wonder if you're even crying.' The head thought.

"Good morning, Mr Ethan... We got some news about Master Christopher."

They all turned to the head of the security department, who walked inside with their two guards following behind him.

"News? Where is he?!" Amara quickly asked.

"Calm down, Mrs Ethan. Someone said they saw Master Christopher in Exurb."

"What?! What's he doing in such a place?" Ethan asked with a frown.

"Yes, Brother don't like such place, he finds the people living there disgusting, So why would he be in a place that disgust him?" Katherine was confused.

"I don't know, Miss Katherine. But it's our only lead at the moment, so I wanted to let you know... We're about sending forces to check it out." The Man said.

"Don't you all get it?! My son have been kidnapped!!!"

"What are you saying, Amara?! If he had been kidnapped, the kidnappers would have called!" Ethan said with a frown.

"Yes, Mrs Ethan. And our source didn't say anything about kidnapping, or master Christopher being held captive."

"Then what are we waiting for! Let get out from here, and look for my Brother." Adonis stood up, and rubbed the ring on his finger.

'Come back Home, Draki! We got something.' He sent a telepathic message to his Beast.

"I'm coming with you!" Katherine stood up.

"Ok, let's go." The head of the security department walked outside from the villa.

"Don't worry, Mum. We'll bring elder brother back." Katherine said to their mum, and followed behind Adonis, leaving the villa.
