This time things tend to get complicated, for our friends, so you have to find out in this chapter ok?
Bad News
Brian is at the police station,speaking with O'Donnell about the evidence he had collected as well the possible abduction of Bruna, but a question is plaguing the young man mind,how he will tell Angelica that her daughter had been kidnapped by bad guys "You should prepare Mrs. Woods for that eventuality, Brian." The boy sighs worried, "She suffered too much Detective, 6 years ago her daughter was caught by Diamantin and rescued by me, Brad Ceras and a friend of ours, then was that fire, and now this? Now I wonder how she can handle one more thing like this one? "O'Donnell rises from his chair, facing the window, he watches the urban landscape sighing, " To be honest Brian, do not have the slightest idea! I know she suffered a lot in the past due her husband and her son Eric deaths. "Brian nods," Eric was Bruna's twin brother, He died on a mission in Colombia, in very mysterious circumstances. "O'Donnell doesn't has the slightest idea that her father and brother died due the Xenos, the detective turns to Brian, "When I get more data I will warn you, understood? Until then, prepare Mrs Woods for the worst." Brian nods positively .
When Brian exits from the police station, go straight to Bruna's house, but now he has a dilemma, how he will give the bad news to Angelica about Bruna being abducted by people who know something of her past, the involvement with the Predators.
Fears that Angelica discover that Bruna faced the Xenos again 6 years ago, and that a Predator helped solve the mystery involving the deaths of her father and Eric. Angelica did not know the name of those monsters back then, and never knew why there are people interested in them, but had to hide the secret for a long time from Bruna, until she insisted on knowing why she has those scars on his back, though Bruna had suspicious for some time. Brian has to tell her the truth, if things go awry for, but for that needs to contact his friend Brad, he is involved in this story too, like Bruna.

R'Kahr is in Zuma beach looking for Brad, but does not know how he will address him, he don't speak the Ooman's language, and he fears a unprovoked attack from Brad .
Then something catches his eye, he sees in the distance a small crowd around a Ooman who is lying prostrate on the sand and a other one above him , and curiosity makes him a bit reckless, so cautiously approaches the crowd, camouflaged. Want to see the reason why a Ooman lies on the sand.
R'Kahr notices that the boy that is prostrate, has a good body constitution, just like the C'Tack described but will be the right Ooman? He has to wait to see, he was on his back turned from him, so began to check his back with detail and saw the clan mark, was the Ooman named Brad Ceras and sighs of relief after all it was a lucky shot in finding him at the first time.
Brad managed to save the bather to his relief, but when it turns to warn other beach goers to stay away, sees the characteristic Predator silhouette, "But what is C'Tack doing here? I have to find out what is going on!" He gets up, calling a colleague who is busy in putting the bathers away from the person who is lying on the sand, "Eh, Stuart stay here with the bather, I'll call an ambulance!" The other nods, and Brad go out from there going directly to his tower , looking back, seeing that is being followed by the silhouette, "C'Tack is following me, now I wonder what he want from me."
R'Kahr notices that Brad looks at him, how he knows he is there? Readily calculates, is not the first time that Brad is with Predators, and he knows his camouflage, he makes a sign to follow him to the strange building, probably to call in reinforcements because of the Ooman who was lying on the sand.
When he is inside of the tower, watches Ooman get a communication device, to call the said reinforcements, a few moments later, turn off the strange device, "Ok C'Tack, you can stay visible!" That happens in a flash, but when Brad sees that the predator's colour is different from C'Tack, put up in defence, "Who are you? Where is C'Tack! "R'Kahr raises his hands, seemed to say that was at peace and did not want to fight, Brad low his defence but still alert, the Predator get the wrist computer by connecting a hologram of his ship, pointing at him and then at the hologram, " So you want me to go with you?" R'Kahr sees that the Ooman understood his message very quickly, and puts his hand on his chest, "I see that I hit the jackpot! I suppose you be friends with C'Tack! "R'Kahr realize the friend's name and nods," Well, for a Pred who doesn't a word of English, is doing well, not bad. "He tries to tell by gestures to wait a bit, and R'Kahr nod.
Brad leaves the Tower seeing the bather it is in the ambulance, "Good work Stuart, thank you." After the report made, he goes to the headquarters delivering it, " Stuart said that you did a excellent rescue Brad." Brad shrugs, "I had the help of everyone lieutenant. My shift ended 1h ago, I have to go to the tower to get my stuff, I am exhausted "Lieutenant sits in his chair," surely you are one of the few remaining after the hour of service, Ceras. "Brad remarks before leaving," I love the sea, Lieutenant. " He departed from there, directly to the tower, where R'Kahr is.
The Predator is well hidden due to its camouflage, and when he sees the Lifeguard disables the camouflage, notices that he holds a strange bag, and by it's content is on the Ooman's shoulder, then sees that he is mentioning to follow him.
Both left the tower, but first R'Kahr active his camouflage, Brad grabs his cell phone, calling Brian who tells him the bad news regarding Bruna, and as is to be expected, "Brian are you sure?" On the other side is heard, "Yes Brad, is the honest truth, Bruna was kidnapped." Brad sits disturbed, "But who wanted to kidnap her this time?" Brian answers, "Someone who knows of her involvement with the Predators.
Brad, I was talking with O'Donnell, and he suspected that they were watching our movements, including hers. They knew where she was at the time of her abduction! "Brad runs a hand through his hair nervously and look to R'Kahr," Brian, Bruna is too smart to let herself to be kidnapped, isn't her way... she fights! "Brian notices his friend nervousness, and his mood changes,"Please Brad, stay calm, that can't bring her back! but I know that they used ether on her kidnapping." Brad does not believe he is hearing, "WHAT?! They used ether? It is coward attitude! "Brian answers,"I am absolutely sure Brad, I even picked up everything, including the scarf that went to analysis." The conversation continues for a while, and both mark a meeting point, very close to Zuma Beach.
R'Kahr can not understand the Ooman language , but estimates by way of talking that it is happening something, and by the Ooman's mood is very serious, and sees him turn off the strange device.
Then notices that the Ooman puts the odd bag over his shoulder, and that makes him a sign to follow him to a more secluded place, away from prying eyes, calculates that is waiting for someone, then notice something on him, he is walking from one side to the other to help pass the time. Moments later sees another Ooman, this one is not so well built like Brad, and he salutes his fellow Ooman , sees the body and facial expressions that things are very serious, "What it is happening, perhaps something very serious ? "He has try to find out.
Brian says Brad just a little worried, "We have to tell Angelica what is going on, Brad." The Lifeguard looks at Brian, remembering what happened to Angelica six years ago, "We have to find a milder form of tell the truth. "Brian nods his head in disagreement," No Brad, she has to know the naked truth, she did not know the name of the monsters who killed her husband and her son Eric. "Brad just said, "In one aspect you are right but you know that Angelica suffers a lot because her daughter is blind and that there are people who want to hurt her because of what happened." Brian raises an eyebrow, "You also have the same feeling as me?" The friend nods, looking R'Kahr, "No doubt! Some people know that our involvement with these guys, and go to the supposed weakest link!" Brian smiled, "But the strongest member is Bruna, and they do not know it. They think that because she is blind, that can not defend herself. "
Brian wonders looking R'Kahr, "And what is he doing here?" Brad explains, "I think C'Tack sent him to us for help, and I intend to go with." Brian says only a little worried, "Hang on a bit, because I want to go with you, and I think I will call the detective, to tell the bad news to Angelica, is the most appropriate!" Brad says only a little indignantly, "Are you silly? We are tell her Angelica deserves know these new by us, not by strangers This C'Tack's friend can wait another hour! "Brian just says,"Damn, you don't fool around Brad, come on then!"
The path to Angelica's house was done in silence, the two friends want to think of how to tell the news, without realizing it the three are at the building where Bruna lives.
As expected R'Kahr is camouflaged, not to attract unwanted attention, moments later Angelica opens the door for them, "So Brian, you found Bruna?" But his and Brad's expression is very serious, "But what happens boys? You didn't found Bruna Brian? "The boy walks Angelica towards the living room," You'd better sit . "She takes the cue," Brad, Brian, what's up? "Brian puts both hands on the woman's shoulder,"Is Bruna ... we suspect that was kidnapped. "Angelica is in shock," Tell me that isn't a joke. "Brian nods," I wish , but it is the honest truth. "The woman raises up, "I want to report to the police." Brad puts his hands on her shoulders again,"Brian dealed with that. He talked with Detective O'Donnell, the same Detective who treated of Bruna's case 6 years ago. "Angelica puts her hand in her mouth," How did you know Brian, tell me please! "He looked at the poor woman, who is trying to assimilate everything," I was talking to her when the call dropped very suddenly ! Do not you remember when I asked where she was a couple hours ago? "She nods," Yes I remember, I even said that she was in the pottery shop. "Brian just says," I went there but while walked I found her belongings on the floor, including a scarf... had a strong smell of ether! "
Angelica did not know what to say, her daughter has suffered so much, why people never let her in peace ? While trying to understand what happened, tears run down her cheeks, she fears losing her daughter for who kidnapped her, "Angelica I'm sorry ..." She looks at the two men, speaking with a trembling voice, "I've lost so many people I love in my life, I don't want to lose another one! "And starts to cry, Brad hugs her," We will find and bring Bruna to you, Angelica! "She thanks with tears in her eyes," Thank you,find my little girl guys, please! "Due to the unstable emotional state of Angelica, Brian goes to the next door, asking to a neighbour to come stay with Angelica.
Shortly after the three left there by going direct to the small R'Kahr shuttle , but Brad says, "I think Mrs. Woods resigned." Brian gives a punch in Brad's head, "Are you crazy or what Brad? Bruna's mother is a wreck, though not the show I know it is, and never cross her arms while Bruna does not appear, and wants to find out who is the culprit! "Brad gets embarrassed saying while putting his hand on his head," Alright Brian, but you didn't need to punch me in the head, that hurt! "Brian laughs," Yeah, right you need to learn to be careful with what you say! "Both friends start laughing,despite things aren't good.
Brian notices that the Yautja is attentive to both, it seems he is trying to understand what is happening at that moment, "You know Brad, I think there our buddy here noticed that something is happening!" Brad replied, "He is not Silly, I noticed it when I was on the phone, and right now. "They had already entered on R'Kahr's vehicle, but Brian says," Once we get at C'Tack's ship, he will translate to us what goes on ok ? Now I wonder why C'Tack send this dude here, to get us!" Brad replied,"He should want our help, is the only explanation." Soon all three are on the way to space, more precisely to C'Tack's ship, which is in orbit around the planet.

In Ni'ihau, Bruna is with a big problem, she feels being carried by two men, their energy tells her that they are afraid of something, but also feel that they are being followed by Damien, "He should want to make sure that his orders are being fulfilled." Damien is beside her, "Miss Woods, I guess I changed my mind." She raises an eyebrow, but what he wants after all this time? Should want to catch her by surprise, probably want it to taming see if he can get what he want the most, "He will not get what he want from me, I may lose my life, but I will never betray my friends!"
She hears Damien, "I want you to take Miss Woods to a cell, I will decide soon if she will be part of an experiment I am doing with our recent,"guests"." The goons guide the blind girl to a cell, but what said villain gets her attention, does nothing to not draw attention to herself, and yet something bothers her because of what she heard moments before, "Guests? Strange ... but what he meant with the latest guests? "It remains in her mind for the rest of the day.

In the ship, C'Tack received a statement of R'Kahr, who was surprised to learn his Ooman friends are with him, "By Paya ... R'Kahr found Brad, I hope he is in one piece!"
Then left the room going towards the hangar, being escorted by two hunters, he just asks, "I want to communicate all over the ship, it will be here two Ooman, don't hunt them understood?" His subordinate question, "Why?" One simple answer is heard, "They are my friends, and come help us search for the 7 Unbloodeds " A simple answer is heard, "Yes my Lord." The other Predator continues escorting C'Tack.
Moments later he is seeing R'Kahr's vehicle landing, when the hatch opens sees Brian and Brad, "I see that you are whole!" Brad makes a greeting smiling, "I'm too pretty, and your friend asked Please! "Brian laughs along with C'Tack." You have not changed Ooman! "Brian looks R'Kahr shrugging.
C'Tack look at Brian who is visibly worried, "What's up Brian?" He responds, "I have bad news, Bruna was kidnapped!" C'Tack is incredulous, Bruna be captured, who would have been responsible for such action "I think they know something about you, and because of that, captured her,rip from her information about your species!" Brad intervenes, "Brian is just an assumption, we first have to investigate!" C'Tack just says, "Also the same thing happened, 7 of our Unbloodeds disappeared in a place called Hawaii, only one of them managed to return, also told us they were captured using tranquillizer darts! "Brian crosses his arms," The kidnappers used ether in Bruna. "Brad looks at the Yautja, "You sent your friend to ask in order to help you, very well, we will get those mother fuckers , and who knows if these two abductions are connected as Brian suggests." C'Tack notices that the two humans are travel-weary, "You do not serve me a great help if you are tired, so it will cool off and get some rest." A ETA is called to guide and help them in what they need, "By the way, you don't want take a drink? "Brad sees that the ETA in question had arrived moments earlier," We appreciate the invitation, but we do not and make your servant wait for us, and not to mention that we are tired. "C'Tack agree right away, and give their orders to the ETA.
When both are in the quarters that C'Tack gave them, they take the chance to take a bath in the small pool which exists in the quarters.
Brad and Brian finish their bath, both felt fresh and with renewed strengths, they even dress the traditional Yautja loincloths , they felt a bit amused but they had to agree, they are very fresh. When they reached the quarter saw a platter full of fresh fruit and meat properly cooked, was next to a bottle they knew very well, C'ntlip , "Well C'Tack is a good host!" And both ate with gusto, 15 minutes later they are sleeping like angels.
What a creep is that Damien... the guy gave me the creeps!
Until the next chapter folks!
I appreciate constructive criticism, thanks!
