Two weeks later

Carlos was back at his house in Bogotá. He stared at the ceiling without saying a single word. His father was talking to the family doctor downstairs.

- I don't know what's wrong with him Doctor….I hadn't seen him like this since her mother passed away. – explained Fernando Diaz.

- We have to support him in this situation. – replied the Doctor. – This is what is usually seen in kidnapping situations……

- But, this is not the case Doctor……He was brought here by a representative of the Canadian embassy and told me that no illegal group had nothing to do with this.

- Then. What happened? – asked the Doctor.

- I don't know…..he won't tell me about it…….I'm worried.

- Relax Fernando……whatever happened…….he has to realize that if something bad happened time will go by and he will forget……

Carlos could listen faintly to the conversation.

" They wouldn't understand………." he thought.

Since he returned he looked crushed. He couldn't eat, he couldn't sleep. He didn't want to have contact with the exterior world. He even had unplugged all the electronic appliances from his room. All these reminded him of Veemon.

He tried to close his eyes to recover the lost sleep from the last evening when he started to hear a faint noise.

A repeating beeping noise coming from the drawer of the computer desk could be heard.

Suddenly, the computer switched on and started the programs despite being unplugged.

Carlos didn't care about it until he heard through the speaker a distorted voice known to him.

- Carlos…….It's Clara…….Are you there?…….Please……

Carlos rose from his bed and walked slowly next to the lit up computer screen.

- Carlos…….pull the digivice out and point it toward the screen. ……hurry. – said the distorted voice.

Carlos, sluggishly and apathetically opened the drawer and pulled the gadget that had stopped beeping. He held it with the screen facing forward.

Suddenly, a very bright white light invaded the room. When it cleared out Carlos had disappeared.

He opened his eyes, finding himself in a very dark place. There was a thick fog all around making it difficult to see beyond the tip of the nose.

Carlos stretched his arms out to walk around without tripping. He walked blindly for a while until he stumbled upon someone.

- Clara? – he said raising his head.

- Carlos. You're here. – said Clara greeting Carlos.

- What's all this about? – he asked faintly.

- I don't know. Henry Wong called me and told me to do the same thing and here I am.

- I see. – replied Carlos noticing that Gatomon was curled up around her feet.

- How has she taken all this? – asked Carlos.

- Badly. She's very sad and doesn't want to talk. Sometimes she breaks out in tears.

- I figured……- said Carlos. – What does this guy want with us?

- I don't know. – replied Clara looking thoughtful. Then she raised her head and called Carlos' attention.

- Look. I see a light over there!

- I see it too……. Let's follow it………

They walked for a while until the fog cleared out and the light became brighter.

They found themselves on top of a hill looking down into an shallow valley. It was a huge clearing that had green grass trimmed in a way to make it look like a chessboard.

The group of three walked toward that place and as they got closer they saw more weird things.

They got to a point that there was an entrance formed by a couple of huge trees that were ornamented like in Christmas . On them candy canes, toys, and ornaments of all sizes could be seen.

All around there were plastic like objects shaped as cubes, pyramids, or spheres of diverse sizes. Some very small, some others several ft high. They were decorated with many shapes like stars, smiley faces, stripes, etcetera.

But what was remarkable was that scattered on the floor, there were eggs painted as in Easter. Some were painted with stars, stripes, dots, wavy lines of different colors.

Suddenly, the digivice started beeping again. Now it was louder and faster. In the center of the screen a blue blinking dot appeared.

They continued walking until the beeping stopped and the dot stopped blinking.

Carlos saw in front of him an egg that was about 10 inches tall, light blue colored with dark blue thick wavy lines all around.
