'My mission is about to start.' He said inwardly.
This man here is one of his plans. Good to find you bastard.
********
"You don't have money?" The boss started with a question.
"Yes."
The man licked his lower lip and nodded twice before raising his gun to his head and turned Rio.
"Search him. And if you see anything bring it out." He ordered Rio and the boy obeyed.
Drake let him search his body while he kept looking at the man with gun with a smirk on.
'Target 1 seen'
This man was among humans that came to join them at the Dracan Empire before being captured. He was with them. He could still remember him vividly.
He has grew so much now. His black hair and beard turning gray.
'Gerald, isn't that your name?' He chuckled within.
Gerald can't remember the small Drake that nearly wound his neck with a broken bottle when he tried to carry him to his house for unknown reason.
He should have suspected that there's something wrong but he was just a child who ignores things easily.
He's leaving no one who has a hand in what happened years back alive.
But Drake wasn't planning on killing this one yet. He's his tool to get to those scientists. Where they stay.
It is a good thing he decided to explore the city else it won't be this easy like this.
Rio stepped back again and turned to his boss. "I've searched him but can't find anything." Rio spoke interrupting Drake's mind.
"I told you. So, can I go now in peace?"
"Yeah. You can." The boss removed his gun which he was pointing towards him.
"Wait!" The man stopped him as he took about two steps away from him.
"What is it?" Drake questioned.
"Were you born here?" The man asked.
Hmm...the man has started to think he's familiar.
"Yes. I was born here. Any problem?"
"Where?"
"Here."
"Here? Where! Don't you have home address?" The boss felt annoyed.
"The last house where the devil's forest is located." Drake answered him and left.
He knew the man will come soon.
"Boss Gerald, why did you ask......"
"Keep quiet. He made me remember something years ago. Rio, David and Adrian, watch him for me. Get every information about him okay?" Gerald commanded and went back to his huge chair where the girls sat while the three boys followed Drake quietly, making sure he didn't notice them.
He didn't have the chance or should he say he forgot to check his wrist where there's always a mark from people like Drake.

"The damn exams are coming next week and I haven't read my physics pratical notebook. s**t!"
Julian grunted after the last lecturer for today left the class.
"How will you read while you were busy kissing Nancy? Today's Friday and physics practical is on Monday. You have today and another two days to read your damn books." Luna rolled her eyes while packing her books into her bag.
"Hey! Are you jealous? It just a Kiss, okay? Anyway, you seems not to be rushing home today." Nancy examined Luna.
"I've you been monitoring me now? Well, I had to rush home because I had something to do urgently at home." Luna explained.
"You were cooking and decided to come to school for lecture before rushing back to the food." Julian teased.
"That joke is boring." Luna admitted.
"Whatever!"
"Should we visit you tomorrow?" Nancy questioned.
"Huh? V..visit? No! Not yet. I..I...my house....I mean I won't be around tomorrow. I have somewhere to go." Luna shook her head, grinning weirdly. Her hair bouncing.
"Don't tell me you already have a boyfriend now. I'm beginning to suspect you. Who knows if it was a date you had with a guy and you won't let us know." Said Nancy.
"It wasn't a date. And I'm not even planning on having a boyfriend yet. I'm planning to go somewhere after exam."
"Where?" Julian and Nancy asked simultaneously.
"I'm not telling you. Once I'm back, I will tell you." She assured them and took her bag to leave.
There's no way she's going to spill out Drake's secret mission to them. She promised him that.
"This girl has been acting strange these days." Julian nudged Nancy and put his hand around her shoulder.
"Let's go home too."
**********
With a sigh, Luna stood far away from the house and watched as three men peeped through her window carefully as if looking for something.
She frowned and walked closer to the house.
"Who are you looking for? What are you doing in front of my house and peeping?" She said in anger.
"Is this your house, young lady?" Rio asked.
"No, its your great grandmother's house." Luna said sarcastically.
"Alright! We will take our leave now. We didn't know someone lives here." He lied and signalled to the other boys to follow him.
"Rubbish!" Luna snorted and marched into her house.
Where's Drake anyway?
"Drake?" She called softly.
She got to his room and met him on his bed. His shirt off but his trouser was on.
His body was turning red. From his head to his feet.
He sat there with his eyes closed.
"Are you okay?" She gasped seeing his body look like it was burning fire and damn! The room is beginning to get hot as his body brought out hot heat.
'Dragons breath out fire, remember' She quickly reminded her self.
What if those guys had entered her house and saw this?
Finally, Drake opened his eyes, still green and stared at her.
"You're back! Sorry, you have to see this but that's how we are when the full moon will be appearing tonight." He explained to her.
"Ye....yeah. I understand. Gosh! That heat coming out from you can cook a chicken." Luna gulped.
"Not every dragon breath out fire. Some are ice. Their kingdom is different from ours."
"What happens when the full moon appear?"
"We turn to dragons till the full moon is gone. I can't stay here with you tonight. I'm going deep into the forest." He said to Luna and came down from the bed. His body had cool down a bit but still red.
"Some guys were......."
"I know. They came looking for me. Their boss asked them to." Drake cut her off.
"How did you know? You left the house again?"
"Yes. And luckily, I saw one of the bastards that can lead us to where the scientists stay. It's those boys' boss. Gerald. I'm sure he's trying to remember me."
"You have to be careful, Drake. Now, I hope I won't be their target since we stay together."
"And that is going to happen soon. You will soon be kidn*pped by Gerald. That's where he's good at."
"What!? You want me to be kidn*pped? What if I'm killed in the process? This mission is really expensive. Too dangerous."
Luna fumed.
"He can't hurt you. I know. He's the only one who can lead us to those scientists."
