658 Out in the open (1/2)

It seemed like they were waiting for Hilston to return, the castle leader whenever that would be, and only once he gave the okay they would be able to leave. In Logan's head, he was already prepared to stay that long.

Naturally leaving and not raising suspicion was best for him, and he could still easily return back to one of his home bases, unlike the others that needed to fly back to the Cursed ship.

'Quinn, where are you. I was sure you would have made some noise or at least come to the castle by now.' Logan thought, but no such thing had happened so far. No news was starting to worry, especially with someone who was as impulsive as him with his decision making.

If only he hadn't lost the mask, then maybe he could have been updated on the situation. As for Peter's mask, he had destroyed it himself, before wearing the disguise and heading to the temple, which was honestly a smart choice, Logan thought.

At that moment, while he was in the middle of his thoughts, a knock was heard at his door.

He looked at his watch and could see that it was still not the time for lunch, so he was wondering why someone would be meeting him. Before Logan could even answer though, Brock could be seen walking through the doors.

”Hello, Logan,” Brock said with a smile while having his hands held behind his back. He was a difficult person to read. At least with Vicky, he knew what she was thinking.

”Hello Brock, is there anything you need, any more details?” Logan asked.

Brock chuckled for a little. ”I think you might want to listen to what I have to say before answering any of my questions. You see, today there was some big news. A certain someone who was down in the dungeon had escaped, who went by the name Vorden.”

”I'm not sure if you know him or not?”

Logan's heart sank. 'How did they find out, did Jazz rat us out and they believed him?' It wasn't like Logan didn't prepare for this, in fact, he was sure him still being at the castle would have proved his innocence in all of this.

”You think I have something to do with this, don't you? I know when I'm being accused, but I'm sorry to say I have no idea what happened. Why would I stay at the castle after freeing someone?”

”Yes, your a smart kid and I would have thought the same thing, don't worry your not my only suspect, and that's why Vicky and Pai have already been sent out of the castle to look for him. I'm sure whoever went out will soon be found, and we will learn the truth.”

”However, let me ask you one more thing. This is your's correct.” Brock said, pulling out the mask from behind him.”

In an instant, Logan changed into his battle suit, allowing the spiders to form all over. If Vicky and Pai weren't in the castle. Then he would only have to beat the person in front of him.

”Beating me, will not be anywhere easy as you think,” Brock said.

When Peter had returned, it was more than noticeable that there was a certain person missing with him. In the middle of the night, he had done as Vorden said; he took the original body of his and placed it in between the two halves of the island. If it was ever discovered, they would assume that the beast had killed him and the other person that was with him.

However, what Peter didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived, he had been called in for a one on one meeting with Pam. Rather than beating around the bush, she was straight to the point.

”Tell me now, do you have anything to do with Vorden having broken out off the dungeon yesterday?”

”No,” Peter replied instantly. His expression not changing and no emotion showing on his face.

While in his mind, they were shooting out fireworks, all the work they had done the other day. Had it gone to waste, and they already knew Vorden had escaped?

”And Jazz, did you see where he went last night? Why didn't he return with you?” Pam asked.

”No, he wasn't there this morning, so I assumed he had already left to head back to the temple. I'm just as shocked as you are that he isn't here.”

”You don't really seem shocked,” Pam said, but from when she knew this person, he had always been like this. To her, this was always his personality, and if someone was involved, she was sure they would show a little bit of fear. Still, she couldn't be sure as Peter seemed a little too calm.

”Your free to go, don't tell anyone about Vorden disappearing, and at the same time let me know if you hear anything from Jazz.”

After leaving the room, Peter had come to the conclusion, they had found out Vorden had escaped but had yet to catch him. It was unlikely that he would leave the island without the kids either, so something needed to be done.

When waking around the temple and doing his normal duties, he felt like a pair of eyes were on him at all times. The only time they weren't was during his counselling sessions with the kids.
