"A girl? They are two?"
"Yeah. They live together. I'm going to get more information about them through my boys." Gerald answered.
"Don't you think......." The man stopped.
"Think ab....."
"Don't you think they are here to get others back? To find them and bring them back."
"Alex, I don't think....yeah, yeah, thats true! Gosh! I was quite wondering by he's here." Gerald nodded in agreement.
"Let your boys watch them for sometime while I prepare my men to join you soon. I need them. Alive." Alex stated.
"Sure. As your lordship pleases." Gerald ended the call and breathed out. "Ah! This is getting more interesting and serious." He scoffed.

Early morning,
Luna woke up and looked around, trying to recollect what happened last night.
She gasped. Drake in his dragon form. She's still in the forest but Drake was nowhere to be found.
Did he leave without her? Aishh! How dare he!
"Drake? Drake? Are you there? Where are you? Can you hear me?" She called, standing up, moving forward and looking around for Drake.
"What the hell did he go to?" She mumbled and got startled. "Drake! Where did you go?" She questioned as soon as she saw him. Smiling.
"I went to take some fruits before we go back home." He told her and took her by hand.
They started walking back home.
"When did you shift back to your human form? I wanted to watch you do that." Luna began. " Your dragon really look huge though scary and......." She cleared her throat.
"And what?"
"And handsome." She concluded.
"Are you checking me out now? I never knew I was handsome" Drake teased.
"Hey! I'm not checking you out. Moreover, I didn't say you're handsome, I said your dragon not you." Luna defended.
"All the same. That dragon is me. So, that means you're referring to me."
"Whatever! Argh! You're becoming annoying already." Luna scoffed and walked away from him.
"Since when have I been annoying?" He appeared right In front of her making her to stop.
"Let's just go home. My feet hurts."
"You were the one who wanted to follow me and see me shift and you're complaining that your feet hurts? What a girl!"
"Thank you. Yeah, wait a minute. You can teleport right? From anywhere to anywhere." Luna grinned.
"What's from anywhere to anywhere? And, I'm not teleporting even if I have the ability to. You walk with your feet hurting like that." Drake made a playful face and left her.
"Please, I feel like I'm going to faint soon if I have to walk further. Just this once." Luna made a puppy eyes.
"Are you trying to take my powers now for granted? See, stick to my mission and once that's done, we go different ways."
"I know that. You don't have to tell me. I'm not taking your powers for granted. I just wish we are home now. My feet really hurts." Luna pouted.
"Fine!" Drake breathed out and got closer to her. He held her to himself and closed his eyes.
The next second, they were in the house, Drake's room and Luna smiled.
"Thanks for that." She said thankfully and moved away from him to look for a massage oil but Drake stopped her immediately and placed a finger on her lips.
"Shh! Don't say anything. I think someone broke into the house." He warned her and made a sign to stay in the room while he became invisible.
The door opened and closed back again.
"I'm suddenly getting scared even when the mission hasn't started yet." Said Luna.
**************
Drake walked faster invincibly to the sitting room and saw Rio and David. The third guy didn't come with them.
He folded his arms and watched them find whatever they are looking for.
"There's really nothing about the guy here. Only his jacket and a bag containing rings. Should we take that?" David asked Rio.
"No, I think the rings will be useless. He might be selling rings. Maybe his source of income. I'm surprised he isn't at home." Rio sighed and got up from the round table in the sitting room.
His eyes caught a book of Luna. Her high school brochure.
He grabbed it and opened it, looking for either Drake or Luna.
He kept opening and then saw Luna at the last page.
"She's really ugly here but beautiful outside. Tsk! Tsk!" He dropped it back.
"Rio," David called.
"Huh?"
"I heard boss when he was calling. He was talking about dragons. Saying two of them are back for a mission.......something like that. Don't you think he's going crazy? Does dragons exist?" David chuckled. "Let's go back. We have nothing to take here but the girl."
"I don't think dragons exist. And the girl, boss said some men will be joining us soon to get her. Not only her but him. I don't know why boss is suddenly interested In this guy he just met yesterday." Rio responded and made his way to the door with David.
Drake followed them, opening the door also. He got behind them.
The two looked back and saw the door open and close.
"I thought I close that door." Rio tilted his head and ignored that immediately.
It must be the wind.
"How can a human live beside the forest without being scared? The girl is really brave. The boy, that won't surprise me." David stated.
"Let's leave here as soon as possible before those two come and meet us here. I don't want boss to think I'm starting to make mistakes." Said Rio.
Few minutes later after they left, Luna came out since she has been watching them through her window.
"Drake?" She called.
"What's it?" He then appeared visibly to her and sat on the sand outside the house.
"Did you get anything from them? I only heard the red hair guy saying he doesn't want his boss to know he's starting to make mistakes."
"They are watching over us now. I think Gerald thinks you're one of us. He didn't only sent those guys to watch me but you too. He's recognized and now, he's trying to call the scientists against us.
They will be coming soon and we don't have time now. I actually didn't want to go straight to this mission first, because I needed someone I could trust. Secondly, you accepted but I have to wait till you finish your exams before I can do this mission together with you. Do you have any place we can stay apart here?" Asked Drake.
"No. We can stay in a cheap hotel till we get to start this mission." Luna replied.
"Then, we are leaving tonight. We might wake up being surrounded by them tomorrow morning."
Luna nodded.
