chapter 4
"Kaye what do you mean by that?" asked Rowen.
"The professor wasn't taken by force, he left on his own. He just made it look like he was." explained Kaye.
"What are you talking about Kaye?" asked Ryo.
"He's a person that didn't exactly have a lot of really expensive things. The professor was mainly interested in his studies. He didn't have any enemies to speak of." replied Kaye.
"Kaye we don't exactly know a lot about the professor, so how can you be sure that he didn't have any enemies?" asked Sage.
"How dare you say something like that Sage!" replied Kaye with anger.
"I know that I shouldn't have went off on Sage like that, but maybe he's right. We don't really know a lot about the professor. All we know is what he told me about himself in class during our conversations." Kaye thought.
"Sage now where did you have to go and do that for?" asked Kento.
"Hey lay off Kento, you know that Sage was right with what he said about the professor." replied Ryo.
"I suppose but still, he didn't have to be so blunt about it." said Kento.
Kaye decide that enough was enough. "No Kento, Sage was right in what he said." replied Kaye quietly.
"Hey guys why don't some of us go back to the professor's apartment and the rest of us go to the university and see what we can find for ourselves." said Cye.
"Now that is the best idea that I've heard all night." replied Mia.
"Ok then we all agree. Now since Kaye and Kento have already been seen at the professor's apartment they can go back with Cye and the rest of us can go to the university." said Ryo.
So everyone split up and decided to meet at the coffee shop in a couple of hours. Kaye, Kento and Cye made it to the professor's apartment in record time. They got out of Kaye's car and headed towards the front door. "I have a question. How exactly are we going to not get busted for breaking and entering a missing professor's apartment?" asked Cye.
"Easy I know where he keeps the spare one." replied Kaye with a smile. She reached up above the door and got the key from the hidding place.
"Not exactly the best place to keep a spare key, now is it." said Kento.
"Probably not, but let's go inside and see what we can find." replied Kaye as she put the key into the lock. Just as that happened the door creeked open, Kaye, Cye and Kento all stepped back slowly from the door.
"Kaye stay here, I'll be right back." said Kento as he went inside.
"Kento wait." replied Kaye as she started to follow him. Kaye felt Cye's hand on her shoulder.
"He'll be alright Kaye, don't worry. Actually I would worry for the ones that are inside the apartment." replied Cye as he reasurred Kaye.
"Yea I guess your right Cye, it's just this whole thing is kind of confusing. I mean why would someone break into the professor's apartment. What could they be looking for that could be so important?" asked Kaye.
"To be honest Kaye, I'm not entirely sure why, but we will find out what is going on alright." replied Cye. Kaye gave Cye a smile showing that he made her feel a little better. Suddenly a crashing sound came from the inside of the apartment, Cye and Kaye rushed inside to see what happened. They ran into Kento in the livingroom.
"Kento what happened, we heard a crash from somewhere in here?" asked Kaye.
"I don't know what happened, but the crash sounded like it came from upstairs." replied Kento. So Cye, Kento and Kaye ran up the stairs, they saw someone running from one of the rooms. The person spotted them by the stairway, the person knew that the stairs was the only escape route optional. So the person decided to rush them, that was a mistake. The person running went straight for them.
"This guy has to be joking, there's no way that he can get through us." said Kento. Just as that was said, the person slammed right into Cye, fortunately for Cye's training he didn't even budge from where he was standing, but the guy that ran into him fell onto his back.
"Cye are you alright?" asked Kaye.
"Yea I'm fine, now let's see who this person is." said Cye as he took off the guy's mask.
"I don't believe it, professor. I thought that you were kidnapped or something. Would you mind telling us exactly what is going on? I thought that you were going back home to the Forgotten City? So what's the deal already?" asked Kaye.
"Well I guess some explanation is in order." replied the professor.
"You got that right, but I don't think that this is the place to discuss it.
We better meet up with the others." said Kento.
Meanwhile at the university, Mia, Rowen, Ryo and Sage were looking over the professor's office. "What makes you so sure that we'll find something here, especially since we don't know exactly what we're looking for?" asked Ryo.
"Just look for something that's out of the ordinary." replied Mia as she was going through some papers on his desk.
"Out of the ordinary, come on Mia you have to be kidding me. Hey wait a minute, I think that I found something." said Sage.
"Well Sage would you tell us already, what did you find?" asked Ryo.
"How's this for unusual?" asked Sage as he motioned towards a carving on the wall.
"It looks like this symbol was just recently carved into the wall." said Rowen as he inspected the carving.
"Why would someone carve this, and more importantly what does it mean?" wondered Mia.
"Look at the time, we better get going and meet up with the others. It doesn't look like we're going to find anything else here." suggested Ryo. Just as they were leaving the professor's room, the symbol on the wall reacted with their armors.
"Kaye what do you mean by that?" asked Rowen.
"The professor wasn't taken by force, he left on his own. He just made it look like he was." explained Kaye.
"What are you talking about Kaye?" asked Ryo.
"He's a person that didn't exactly have a lot of really expensive things. The professor was mainly interested in his studies. He didn't have any enemies to speak of." replied Kaye.
