It has been several hours since Luan had that feeling of being watched. It was strange since not she knew that no one in the house was awake. If they were then she would have heard the stairs creek underneath their weight or at least heard some silent mumbling about waking up late. Though part of her knew that something seemed off about the situation especially since Ronnie Anne and Lincoln were taken several days apart. 

"I should talk to Lucy about this." She said before leaving the room. At the same time, Preacher was standing in front of Gabriel who was thinking of what their next steps were. They had to choice their targets wisely since they didn't want their presence is be known to the public. Especially since there were so many brilliant people out there who would jump at the chance to capture and study them. Not like it would be possible, but Gabriel didn't want to take any chances of such a thing occurring. 

How is the successor's family doing?

Gabriel asked since they wanted to know if there was anyway to make his successor follow them without question. Sure, they captured his friend? Girlfriend? However, they had to make sure that he wouldn't try to run like the other two. 

Four of them are being forced to help find him while the others are slowly redoubling their efforts to get a lead on him. I did spot the one who tells jokes, but I didn't approach since it would lead to them discovering that I entered the house.

That answer seemed to be acceptable since seeing Preacher would lead to them sticking their noses where they don't belong. Though it may have attracted the attention of that foolish boy's sister. She would be stepping into their home soon with hope to finding her brother. 

Try to capture her when she is alone and isolated and if you can...try to capture some more of the successor's sisters. Be warned that the boy's sister would be visiting since she founded that group who has been trying to discover our movements. 

Preacher nodded and walked away to start on their task while Gabriel wondered who else would be a good target. After all, exposing the events of a victim's death would slowly break down their will to escape. Though, showing them and having them do it themselves are completely different things. No matter. They will fall in line sooner or later cause their mission will never stop till the human's civilization is stomped out. 

As they were thinking this, Sarah sighed and took a sip of some coffee that Thatcher gave her. She has searched for any other strange occurrences in Royal Woods and discovered two kid's disappearances. As she searched deeper, she discovered that the two were friends and that they each disappeared in strange circumstances. At first, she figured that the pair were deceased after all alternates don't usually leave their victims alive. However...it was quickly found that they were taken just like her brother, Mark. Why? 

She couldn't help herself from thinking about the purpose of their disappearances. The alternates wouldn't take people alive unless it's for their own desires and benefit. A fact that kept plaguing her for hours on end while Caesar was making a recovery in his hospital room. Speaking of him, he was also suspicious of the mysterious kidnappings caused by the alternates. 

"This is making my head explode." Sarah said before leaning back in the chair. It was clear that this entire situation was making her extremely stressed. Some people even suggested that she took a break from this, but she can't stop. No, she can't stop. If she did then she would never save her brother and the kids from the alternates. Besides, who knows who they would target next or take next? 

So Sarah groaned and kept researching while making plans to head over to Royal Woods when Caesar is fully recovered. While the trio looked at the cell door that slowly opened with a loud creak. Standing there was Adam and another alternate with wide smiles that unnerved them all. Though some tried to hide it and failed.

Are you ready boys? 

The trio stayed silent and slowly looked at each other with nervous expressions on their faces. This was not going to be good. 

Hope you enjoyed the chapter...Bye👋
