Chapter 31 Rescue 101 (1/2)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One rainy night in November...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nana Aida burst inside Jess' room, face pale...body shaking!

”Nana, what's wrong?” she rushed to the older woman's side.

”I need to go home now! Nathan wasn't able to go home for the last two days already. He's been missing since Tuesday. They expected him to be home yesterday morning, but until now, they can't get hold of him. His phone keeps ringing, no one's answering his damned phone!” said Nana in a frantic voice.

Jessy massaged Nana's cold trembling hands, she's trying to soothe her fear and worries away.

”Did they contact Matthew?” she asked.

”Matthew was also missing. It was Ivy who informed me five minutes ago. Nathan would sometimes sleepover at Matthew's house. It's the first time he didn't go home and both of them were missing.” Nana Aida's quivering lips stuttered...the severe worry she felt for his missing son was overwhelming.

”Nana, you can't go home right now. It's not safe to drive when you are in a worried state. You might encounter an accident on the road,” said Jessy.

Nana Aida shook her head and went heading for the door. ”No! I just can't sit here and do nothing. I will go home now!” she said in a hysterical voice.

Jessy followed her Nana's retreating form helplessly.

What can she do?

Ah, maybe Adam can do something...

She went to his room, her heart pounding. He found him watching a random movie on his laptop.

”Adam, you need to help Nana!” she said in a hurried tone.

”W-why, what happen to Nana?” he was startled.

”Hurry up, Adam. Nathan is missing and Nana Aida will go home now to help find Nathan. She's not fit to drive at her current state, you have to prevent her from going home!”

Adam immediately sprung to his feet...heading downstairs.

Jessy has to run to catch up with him.

They were able to come on time in the garage area when Nana was about to enter her car.

”Nana wait!” shouted Adam.

The older woman glanced at him. ”Adam, you take care of Jessy. I need to go home for a while, my son is missing!” her voice frantic, she went into the driver's seat and started the engine.

Adam stood in front of the car, trying to get hold of Nana Aida's attention.

The older woman finally stops the engine.

”Nana, I can help you in finding Nathan. Trust me, I will find Nathan for you.”

The older woman's face was already streaming with tears. Her sobbing tore Adam's heart.

”Jess, watch over Nana. Don't let her out of your sight!”

Jessy nodded.

”Nana, I will call you right away if I already found Nathan. So please stay calm, okay?” he told her.

He did not waste more time, Adam went upstairs, straight to his room and donned his black costume. He still has Nathan's scent with him, he can locate him anywhere in the vicinity of the town where he lives.

He activates his teleport power and leaped through the window...and zoomed in mind blowing speed...passing between houses and buildings. He needs to hurry up, every second's count.

If something bad happen to Nathan, Nana Aida will be completely devastated.

He finally reached his destination in the center of the town, totally hidden behind a buildings shadow...he concentrated and activated his brain scanner...gathering every cell of his brain to work with precision in scanning for Nathan's whereabouts. He still has a hold of his scent with him, although it's a bit obscure now. It's the only thing he got as of this moment.

He's still alive...

If he can no longer smell his human scent that means he's already gone from this world.

Judging from his faint scent...it means he's currently not near the vicinity where he was currently standing.

He levitated and rose above buildings, trees...floating in the air, now, the whole town was under him.

Nathan, where are you, buddy...?

He scans from left to right...north...south...

Ping!

He got a signal from his brain, originating from the north side of the town. This time he can now smell a bit of stronger surge of scent emanating from Nathan and not only him but also Matthew's scent.

He quickly hovers on the north side of the town, the neighborhood below him was dotted with big houses, pristine swimming pools, and immaculate lawns. Probably an exclusive neighborhood owned by wealthy residents of the town.

The scent becomes stronger now...he zeroed in on one particular house which has a minimalist and sleek outer design. The house was submerged in darkness, it could be that the occupants were already sleeping or currently not in the house?

He checked the garage, lawn area, and the swimming pool area, not a single soul was there.

He entered the house by passing through the wall, he checked the living room, the kitchen...the dining room...the adjacent library room...it's quiet.

He went upstairs and examined the four bedrooms on the second floor, no one is sleeping on them.

But the scent of Nathan and Matthew emanated from this particular house! He was sure of that...where could they be? He frowned...puzzled.

He went back downstairs...

Then he saw a small door on the left side of the living room, it was partially hidden behind the cupboard.

As he came closer to the door...the scent of Nathan and Mathew also grows much stronger...more defined.

When he tried to open the small door, it won't budge...it's locked inside.
