Epilogue:
Diana looked up at her board. She had been working endlessly for the last few days, Diego staying at her place. She had delayed getting him back to school, knowing he wouldn't concentrate until they had solved everything.
Neither Mia nor Beth had any idea about anything. Neither did Dillon, who seemed to be hiding some secret. Diana had a feeling that Diego knew about it, but her brother wasn't talking. Something had happened before her "mother" had called, and she didn't know what it was.
"Diana?" Diego peeked in. "There's some lawyer on the phone wanting to discuss something about some case with you."
"Got it." Diana said quietly as she stood up.
Diego waited until she exited before walking into the room and looking at the numerous paper clippings and all the pictures and files on the wall. He looked back out the door. Diana was at risk if she tried to pursue this further. He could - he had Dillon's help in this. He and Dillon had already arranged it anyway.
Taking a deep breath, Diego's eyes flashed and everything on the wall vanished in a swirl of green light.
He walked out the door.
Diana looked up. "Hi, Diego. Ready to go back to school?"
Diego forced a smile on, noticing the glazed look in her eye. Good. It worked. "As ready as I'll ever be."
"I've given you everything you could possibly need."
"I'm sorry, master." The creature cringed. "I-"
"Enough." The obvious master bellowed. "We have to use this opportunity."
"Opportunity?"
"Yes. The Council is in ruins, no one can clearly remember what happened. Rudy is currently missing, with White. It has been proven that Chapulan can be freed and held. This feud of theirs can finally be of some use to me."
"What do you want to do?"
"Get Diego Dante White."
"Master, it's impossible. We don't even need him."
"You fool!" He roared. "Did you not see the sheer amount of magic he released? If we can get that power, or control him to use that power…we can actually accomplish something."
"White stopped him."
"Yes. But what White doesn't know won't hurt him. We need to focus on getting Diego. He's the only one capable of taking White on."
"How do you plan to do this?"
"We…need to use some of his allies. Not the Whites, they're too powerful to be contained. We need to get his mortal friends."
"Mortal friends, my lord?"
"Yes." The figure glared at the creature. "What are you still doing here?!"
The creature gasped and scurried away. The creature peeked around when his master had turned away. His master had the oddest of request. Why he was so obsessed with the boy was beyond him.
