Meanwhile, whilst Lindz and I were viewing grey walls, Danielle, Kate and Sam had gone to visit the lead.

"So," Danielle sighed. They were looking at the large mansion in front of them; wooden doors guarded the hall. Kate looked at Danielle and shrugged.
"Why don't we knock?" Sam suggested with a coy smile. With an air of arrogance, she knocked the large brass knocker against the door. Danielle rolled her eyes but said nothing as the door lurched open. A tiny Bruce waddled out to meet them, his head barely reaching their waists.
"Bonjour Madams," He smiled. "Monsieur Patrick, is . unavailable at the moment."
"Oh, right." Sam said awkwardly. Danielle peered behind the door, and could see a man hunched up in a seat in the lounge. It didn't look like he had any important plans that prevented him from seeing the three girls.
As they turned away, they heard a voice say in an annoyed tone, "Pierre, have you been turning away guests again? The Master is not busy. Oh girls!" They turned back to see a female Kougra, armed with an apron and feather duster, hovering next to the Bruce.
"Excuse us, is this a bad time?" Kate asked as politely as possible. The Kougra laughed in a twittery, high pitched voice.
"Oh no girls, I assume you'd want to speak to the master." She smiled. Kate saw the opportunity.
"Oh, very much." She said, trying to sound as posh and polite as possible. "But Sam, she would like to speak to you, if possible." Kate hurriedly trod on Sam's foot, causing Sam to hiss in pain.
Catching Kate's point quickly, Sam added, "Yes please." With a fake smile.
"Well, no one wants to talk to me since.Since I got this job. I'd love a bit of company. I'll show you two girls to the master then."
With that, the Kougra walked in and the girls followed, with a backwards look at the annoying looking Bruce. He sighed in frustration, closed the door with a slam and walked off, glaring at the Kougra.
The Kougra disappeared into the Lounge as they reached it, and shut the door on their face.
"Charming." Kate sighed. Danielle put her finger to her lips to silence her.
A few minutes later, the Kougra came back out. She bowed low and said in a hushed tone, "The master will see you now."
"See ya later." Sam sighed as Danielle and Kate walked into the room. With a note of resignation, she followed the feather headed Kougra into a room.

The room was dark, Danielle noticed as they stepped into the lounge. The room had a musty smell and only one small light illuminated the room. Silhouetted in a large arm chair was an oldish man.
"Erm.hi?" Kate said in a hushed tone, hesitantly approaching the chair. The man didn't react. Slowly, Danielle followed Kate, quizzically looking at her. Suddenly, the man spoke, causing both of them to jump.
"Danielle, Kate, I have been expecting you both. I assume Samantha is with Miss Du." The man spoke in a hushed tone, like he was talking to a scared Gelert.
"How do you know my name?" Kate asked immediately, nervous and interested.
"I know all." The man replied. "I shall not answer question, I shall give answers to the ones you will not ask." He paused, and Danielle looked at Kate, worry etched into her face. "Sit then." He motioned for the two to sit in two rustic armchairs. Slowly, never taking her eyes off the man, Kate sat down. Danielle followed after a look at the door. She felt uneasy and a little more than put out by the man's smooth words.
"Ask questions, and I shall answer."
Kate paused for a moment. "Erm.who are you?"
The man smiled. "I go by many names."
Danielle was rapidly loosing patience. "Yeah, great. Whatever. Who the hell are you?"
"I am the wind, the rain, the elements."
Danielle gave an impatient sigh, and was about to say some rather short words when Kate trod on her foot.
"Shuttup." She hissed. She looked at her wrist like she was looking at the time, despite the fact she wasn't wearing a watch to begin with. "Oh, sorry, look at the time, we must go!" She exclaimed in mock anger.
The man looks sullen, but didn't say anything as they edged towards the door. Suddenly, he spoke.
"Your friends are in danger children." He said quietly. Immediately, Kate shot across the room back to the man. He continued without noticing. "They are trapped in a large building, behind a force shield of glass. There is no way for them to escape. They are closer to the boy then they think."
Danielle and Kate looked at each other, fear highlighted in their eyes.
"What . What do you mean?" Kate asked hesitantly. The old man shook his head.
"I cannot say. You know where they are held. Speak no more of me child."
With that, the old man simple .. vanished. With a puff of bright smoke, the man disappeared. Kate and Danielle looked at each other in confusion for a moment, before running out of the room.

Kate and Danielle reached Sam only to see Sam on the point of screaming. One eye was twitching as she listened to the Kougra.
"Sorry, gotta dash." Kate smiled politely, grabbing Sam's arm and running. The Kougra carried on talking, failing to notice Sam's disappearance. In fact, it would be some time before she would.

"So what now?" Sam said, after they had finally ran down the long drive.
"I dunno." Kate shrugged helplessly.
"Do something! Either lead, follow, or get out of the way..." Sam exclaimed.
"Where's the base then!" Danielle said finally, a faint smirk on her face.
"Erm," Sam rummaged through her rucksack. After a few minutes of murmurs, she pulled out map. "That way!" She said, pointing towards
