Sorry computers been super slow the past few days :/.

Reaching Bennys apartment was easier than he had expected. He expected everyone to be on the lookout. But the whole city was so oblivious to today's events that they were able to walk on the street without a second glance from anyone.

"Rea, how many people are at HQ?" He asked. Usually the place was empty, or at least Benny's team was usually gone. When Alexis said that there weren't a lot of them he was under-exaggerating. There were at least a few hundred.

"Dylan was there before I left, said he had to wrap up a few things," she said thinking, "I think Harpers there too. She's always with Dylan."

"Can someone explain to me what is going on?" Sarah asked as they walked up to the apartment buildings.

"Sarah, I can't right now, can't you wait for a few minutes?" Sarah quieted down after that. Benny was never demanding, but today he was.

"Rea, can you call Dylan and ask him to somehow explain the whole car crash thing?" Rea nodded pulling out her cell phone.

Alexis and Benny ran p the stairs to his apartment to collect his things. First thing first, Benny's spell book, accompanied by whatever magical items or violent weapons he had, and then they left. At a time like this, Benny could care less about extra clothes. When they reached downstairs, Rea had finished her phone call but was pacing worriedly. This worried Benny, because she never worried.

"What?" He asked.

"Nathan's missing."

HQ was different than expected. Sarah expected a huge, sliver like color with metal tables, suits, and people walking around professionally. Except the only problem was this place looked like a normal office. And the workers didn't wear suits. Some did, some were casual, and others wore what Rea and Alexis wore which were black jeans a black top and some other type of electronics attached all over their bodies. Benny was of course wearing casual.

"What do you mean missing?" Benny asked. Dylan shrugged his shoulders. Judging by the way he explained the situation and how he moved so much, Sarah suspected he had some sort of attention disorder. Harper sat in the background listening to them fight. She made eye contact with Sarah and something about the girl scared her.

"I told you he's gone," Dylan said, "I went in to talk to him like you asked me and when I got there the nurses said someone already checked him out."

"Did you find out whom?" Dylan shook his head.

"I hacked into their system, but the camera outside of Nathan's room is broken, has been for days."

"What about the signature?"

"There is none, I checked the papers, in fact, the nurses said that whoever checked him out took his files too, it's almost like he was never there. Except maybe that his room still has all of his things, but the doctors won't let you go anywhere near it or inside it."

"How do you know it has his stuff?" Benny asked.

"Dude, I snuck in," Dylan said. Benny almost smiled, pleased with his younger teammate, "DO you know how incredibly hard it is to sneak into a heavily guarded mental hospital?"

"Did you at least find anything?" Rea asked. Dylan shook his head.

"I didn't have much time to look so I might have over looked some parts of his room. But theres not many things in their either."

"Benny," Sarah said interrupting the conversation, "I think now's a good time to explain." Benny sighed.

"Look, its… its hard to explain."

"Then here a start, who's Nathan?" Benny looked at Dylan who sighed. He was on his own.

"I don't even know who he is," Benny mumbled, "At least not yet."

"Why did you leave Whitechaple?" Sarah moved onto the next question.

"Sarah its hard-"

"What are you doing anyway? I don't even know what you are anymore!"

"Sarah-"

"And-"

"Sarah," Ethan interrupted, "This is still Benny, one question at a time." Benny looked at Ethan slightly offended by the comment.

"Uh, Benny, I think your gonna wanna see this," Dylan said looking at the papers on his desk.

"What?" Benny asked walking over to look at the papers around.

He looked at the jumbled letters. "I don't get it," He said confused.

"ya vse yeshche zdes', I in ne uydu, (I'm sorry its spelled wrong or not right, languages are hard to learn!)" Dylan read fluently, "It's Russian for I'm still here and I'm not leaving."

"I'm not even gonna ask how you know that," Benny breathed looking at it, "What is it supposed to mean?"

"Well the fact that it's written all over the back of my science homework someone broke into HQ while I was here and it means that whoever is involved in all this is Russian."

"How could someone break in if you're here?" Alexis asked Dylan had ears like a hawk, the boy could hear anything.

Dylan shrugged, "I'm not superman you know."

"But you're not human," Alexis countered. Dylan shuddered at the comment. He looked over at the Sarah and Ethan.

"Who are they?" He asked.

"Ethan and Sarah, some friends of mine," Benny explained. The two hadn't said anything, only listening, hoping to get an exclamation Benny hadn't been willing to provide.

"Dylan," Dylan introduced himself, "And that's Harper, she doesn't talk but she's really smart."

Sarah nodded.

"Oh yeah, Dylan is like a human dictionary," Benny explained, "everything he sees he remembers. And Harper is our super brain, she doesn't talk but for some reason Dylan knows what ever she is trying to tell us. The two are best friends, practically inseparable." Benny flinched at his use of best friends, thinking of Ethan. Dylan looked around at the message flipping his homework over. He wondered, why my homework?

There were plenty other papers on his desk, in fact, his homework were at the bottom of his priority pile next to his file these pile. Why would someone dig to get his homework and write a message on it, and why his science homework? He looked around his homework examining the words. Several minutes later, He gave up.

He was thinking too hard, and Dylan knew that was the number one don't when solving a puzzle. The human brain works better when it's unintentionally thinking about it. So Dylan did the only thing to keep him busy yet on topic, he started his science homework.

"Really?" Benny asked, "My assignment is missing and you want to do homework? I was in a car crash for that freaking kid!? My apartment is probably a freaking Crime Scene right now because of it!"

Dylan stopped doing his science homework… Crime Scene… He flipped the paper over and read over the words again. Then flipping it back he read the title of his science homework; 'Crime scene investigation Unit 8'. Yet on the title '8' had ':00' written after it. Dylan checked his watch, 7:45.

"Wait," Dylan said clicking on his laptop. In a matter of seconds he found a news report on recent crime scenes, Bennys apartment being one of them, "Okay, I could be wrong, but I think they want us to go to your apartment next."

"Why? I already got my stuff from there?" Benny asked. Dylan shrugged.

"Maybe they expected you to come here first."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I told you I could be wrong," Dylan said looking at the screen, "But all those police officers in your apartment are going to die in 15 minutes if we don't do something."

So I hope you enjoyed this chapter :). I still need four more characters though so send some! Anyway, my computer is being slow and my internet keeps crashing whenever it rains so it took awhile to update. Hope you enjoyed!
