While sitting in his office, he lent back and started to think about the confrontation between Pam and Logan.

”That boy is a clever one, he will do well in the future. Whoever he chooses to side with will make a big name for themselves.”

But soon he would have to move onto a separate matter, for he had been trying to contact Duncan nonstop, but there was no response from him.

'Don't be a young fool, are you really still upset with me for not believing in the little man? Just answer.' Brock thought, but still, there was nothing.

Just in case, Duncan decided to contact those that had gone to the village, but they had said he set off in search for the little man in the morning, and he hadn't returned since.

'Did something happen to him, that can't be possible?' Brock thought. Maybe to one of the others but not Duncan.

Duncan was one of the best fighters outside those who trained in the castle. If someone could beat him, he would have known about it, unless this little man was real.

It had only been one day, so it was no cause for concern. There had been times where Duncan had gone missing for longer and had come back just fine. If he knew how much Brock was worrying about him, Duncan would be pleased to know he caused this old fool heartache.

Back in the room, Logan had just read the letter before quickly burning it up. He had checked if there was anything else, but it simply said keep searching.

”Who do you think sent it? Or what do you think it means?” Peter asked.

”You were there with us at the meeting I had with Pam. If this letter was addressed to me, then it could only be related to one thing. Richard Eno. Do they mean to keep searching for Eno?” Logan said.

In the room itself, there were only a few people with them, so it was possible after hearing their conversation, one of them slipped him the letter. It could even be Pam herself, but her reaction seemed genuine. There of course, was also the option that it wasn't any of them in the room.

Maybe the room had been bugged, and someone was listening in on them. If it really was Richard Eno, or the person hiding the things to do with the Blades, they could easily have a couple of people working for them on the island.

If it was Logan, he would have done the same, allowing him to be one step ahead knowing everyone's moves.

”We don't have time to worry about this now,” Logan said. ”We need to focus on Vorden. If we are going to save him then maybe now while we're both here is our best shot.”

In an instant, Jazz was tied up using some of the bedsheets in the cupboard. He didn't have super strength like the others and had no ability to copy, so he was just like any other person.

”Shout, and you're dead,” Peter said. The words were spoken so cold, Jazz knew that he meant it.

”What do we do now?” Peter said, shaking his head. ”I guess we have to act today, and without Quinn.”

”I was planning to anyway,” Logan replied. ”You see, Vorden is kept underneath the castle chained up. What is surprising and at the same time not, is that there are no guards down there. Everyone on the island just isn't used to having visitors. The idea that someone would come here just doesn't occur to them.”

”It's not just that.” Jazz added, ”The Blades are so strong if you try to leave, they know they will get you.”

Peter turned and gave him a stare as if to tell him to be quiet, but Logan told him to calm down. After all, the little bits of information they were getting from Jazz was actually quite helpful.

”Then it should be quite easy to break out Vorden then. Just head down there, break the chains and leave this place.” Peter said.

”If possible, I would like to leave this place on a good note. If we break out Vorden and return unseen, then when we eventually leave and they find out Vordern has escaped, they might think he did it himself. But that was before we got caught.” Logan said, looking at Jazz.

”Don't blame me.” Jazz said, thinking his life was now in danger. ”Your plan wouldn't have worked anyway. Vorden is a member of the castle, and he is quite close with Vicky and Pai. Yes you're right there aren't any guards down there, but Vicky and Pai go there nearly daily to talk to him.

”If you were to take him away, they would find out.”

It was hard for them to know whether or not Jazz was lying, but it did seem reasonable for Vorden's family members to check on him. That was if this was a normal family.

”If only there was a way we could take him without letting them know we have taken him, and at the same time, we need to get rid of this problem,” Peter said, and looking at Jazz's face, he had come up with a brilliant idea. ”I think I have something that just might work.”
