After killing one of the thugs, Cilan resumed his search for an exit. This search, however, led him to... a control room?! "What's a control room doing in a house in the woo- wait! I have an idea!" the monkey said to himself as he began to contact someone with the radio. Meanwhile, back at the police station, the others were worried. Chili hadn't returned yet, and Cilan was still missing. "I hope they're alright..." Iris said to herself. Soon, they got a call on the phone. Officer Jenny quickly answered it. "Hello?" she asked, putting it on speaker phone. "It's me! Cilan!" the voice on the other end told them, which relieved the others. Cress soon went up to the phone. "Where are you?" he asked. "I'm in a house in the woods... which, for some reason, has a control room... what're you doing there, anyway?" Cilan asked. Cress then explained the situation to him. "Alright. Stay put. We'll be there as soon as we can." Jenny told him... but soon, the door on Cilan's end opened. "GET AWAY FROM THAT RADIO!" a woman's voice bellowed, before screeching was heard. "Hmm... I know I've heard that voice before, but where?" Ash asked himself. His thoughts were, however, interrupted by thet sound of a baseball bat hitting something, followed by a body falling to the ground. "CILAN!" Cress called, but got no response. The woman soon came to the radio. "Sorry about that. The boy can't answer the radio. He's a bit... tied up at the moment." she chuckled. "What're your demands?" Jenny asked. "100 grande. Bring it or else you'll never see the boy again!" the woman told them before hanging up. Ash and Iris were upset, while Cress was having a nervous breakdown...
Meanwhile, Chili had found the house, and knocked on the door. "Hello?" he asked. The door soon opened and on the other side was... Hunter J?! "What is it?" the huntress asked. "I'm looking for my brother. Have you seen him?" the redhead asked. J soon got an idea and smirked. "Tell ya what. Come inside. I have some donuts, since I ran out of cookies." she told him, which he happily accepted... like the moron he is...
In the control room, Cilan was kept under guard by a female thug. Soon, he heard the voice of his brother and called out to him, only to be gagged by the thug. Chili stopped eating for a second, thinking he heard Cilan, but then continued to eat. J soon entered the control room and smacked the monkey in the head. "Cooperate, or you two are dead!" she growled, earning a smug smirk from Cilan. "Oh, and by the way, I know you two are immortal, so I have this!" she added as she got out a golden dagger with gemstones in the handle. Cilan's smug grin soon faded into a fearful frown. "That's..." he stuttered. "Yes. A dagger made to kill immortals." she smirked as she began searching his backpack for a homing device... when she soon saw a picture of him, Ash, and Iris together. The sight of the raven-haired boy brought back memories of her past encounters with him, causing her to enter an uncontrollable rage...
When she finally calmed down, she realized she could take out her anger on Cilan. Soon, one of the thugs came in with an out-cold Chili, under the influence of the donuts, which were drugged. Smirking to herself, she put a metal ring around him, locking it with a remote. Satisfied with her work, she left the room...
Will Cilan and Chili survive? Stay tuned...
