Sorry, I know that I'm late on the update, but it's better late than never, right?

But I think that I can have the next chapter up by Saturday.

It is a bit of a filler, but I hope you like it.

Second chapter

Victor's pov.

After a night of tossing and turning in my bed, I went for an early run to clear my head. After a shower and some breakfast, I did some research on the prison Lashkar Gah before I went to meet with Erin's mom.

I walked into the airport 11:50 and headed towards the gate people come through after picking up their luggage. When I got there I saw a woman who had to be Erin's mom, she had the same hair and eyes as Erin. I walked over to her and introduced myself.

"Ms. Dillard? I am Victor Benedict, FBI."

"It is nice to meet you agent Benedict. May I ask you how you found my daughter?" she asked, getting straight to business.

"Well I have reason to believe that she is my soulfinder." I answered hoping that I wasn't wrong about this and that Ms. Dillard was a Savant or at least knew about us.

"Oh I see. Well I hope you are right about that. You seem like a good person and I am sure that it will be great to have someone with that special connection to help her get through this." she said with a sad smile.

"I can promise you that I will do anything I can to help her."

"Well, let's talk plans then. You said that you would call some of your family members; I now see why they might be able to help. Can you tell me some more about who is coming and when they are coming?"

"Of course. My parents are coming; my mother can see the future and my dad can sense danger. They are mostly coming as backup if anything goes wrong. My younger brothers Xav and Yves and there soulfinders; Crystal and Phoenix. Yves is one of the smartest kids on his age, and then he can control energy; you know, start fires, make things explode and so on. His soulfinder Phoenix have had some connections to the criminal world and she got the ability to freeze minds, almost like she is stopping time. Xav is a healer, so he might come in handy if anyone gets hurt, and Crystal is mostly coming because he is coming, but she is a soulseeker, and that makes her a very strong telepath. She is also the one who told me where I could find Erin. They are all coming here in a couple of hours. Who did you get to come and when are they coming?"

"I tried to get the CIA to send some people, but they didn't want their name on anything like this, afraid that it would destroy the fragile relationship they have with Afghanistan. So I had to go through some unofficial channels to get some help. I found a group of young, very capable agents who know Erin, and are willing to help. They are all coming in with the 10 o'clock plane from Stansted." She was silent for a bit before she added, "Mr. Benedict if you don't mind me asking what is your gift?"

"I can manipulate brains. Yours?"

"I can see if people are pretending to be something they are not or in other words I can see if people are trustworthy or not." That explained how she so quickly thought saw me as a good person, my looks usually scare people.

"That must be very useful. Talking about savants how much do the agents you said were coming know about us?"

"Not much, they know that there exist people like us, with special powers but I don't think that they know more than that."

"Wow, they must be on a pretty high security level to even know that. Now should we find some lunch and discuss the plan?" I said eager to get Erin out from the prison. We ended up buying some sandwiches at a local supermarket and eating them at the hotel we were staying at, a cheap place with bad light, cheap folding beds and shared baths in the hallways. But it is not exactly because the Helmand area in Afghanistan are full of luxury hotels.

11:30pm back at the hotel:

Mom, dad, Xav, Crystal, Yves and Phoenix had arrived and we were now all sitting in my hotel room, waiting to meet the agents Ms. Dillard had told me about. After five minutes of silence, there were three quick knocks on the door before it opened and revealed Ms. Dillard followed by three young people, probably around the same age as me or a little younger. First a pretty girl, with a short bob haircut (the kind of girl who could disappear anywhere), right behind her was a tough looking guy, who seemed to be working out A LOT. After him came a tiny blond girl. She reminded me of Sky, with her curly blond hair and low height.

"Hi, I'm Cameron Morgan, but you can call me Cammi," the girl with the bob said, introducing herself.

"And I'm Zach, Zachery Goode." The guy said with a crooked smile.

"I'm Elizabeth Sutton, but everybody calls me Liz" the little blonde girl said with a smile.

After the introductions were over, we decided to go straight to bed because everyone were tired and some struggled with severe jetlag.

I lay in my bed staring into the ceiling, not able to fall asleep. Beside me Xav was snoring, he slept in my room, because of mom's rule about unmarried couples not allowed to sleep together.
