About two hours had passed since the boy approached the hunters. Most of the spectators had left, leaving only a few bystanders, a couple cops and one news station. The sun was slowly coming up, casting an eerie glow on the once invisible barrier. The hostages inside the barrier began to loose hope and head home. Karasuma stayed around until exaughtion over came her and she too went home. Robin was leaning up against the barrier, Amon standing above her looking into the barrier, Dojima and Sakaki were leaning on each other half asleep. Robin yawned and stretched.
"Maybe we should come back another day?" Dojima asked, but quickly wished she didn't after the look she received from Amon. "Never mind." She replied to herself.
After a few minutes, Amon too decided to sit down next to Robin. It was very quiet. All anyone really heard was the Random conversations between Dojima and Michael over the headset and the ramblings of the news crews. Then, all of a sudden, Robin felt a hand on her shoulder. She thought it was Amon until the hand became two hands and pulled her into the barrier. Amon who wasn't paying much attention and who was leaning on Robin a little, fell onto his side when robin was pulled behind the barrier.
"Robin!" Amon yelled as he jumped up and banged his fists onto the barrier, causing the pink mist to appear.
"What happened?" Sakaki asked as he and Dojima returned from the police breakfast table.
"Robin just got pulled into the barrier!" Amon exclaimed as he continued to bang on the barrier. Then, inside the barrier, Robin was seen being pulled by her hand by the little witch boy. She turned around to face the hunters but didn't do anything to get away. She was already at least a good 25 feet away.
The boy began running, which caused Robin to run with him. Amon, Sakaki and Dojima were still banging on the pink misty barrier, trying their best to open it, even thought they knew their attempts were useless. Amon stopped banging and leaned on his fists on the barrier while Sakaki and Dojima continued banging.
"Robin..." Amon said quietly to himself under his breath. "What do they want with you?"
Small Abandoned Warehouse
Robin was lead into an abandoned warehouse by the little boy.
"Where are you taking me?" She asked kindly.
"Someone wants to see you." The boy replied and pulled robin harder. Inside the building, the boy climbed a few stairs and entered a small room. All over the room was rags and dirty clothes. An old rundown mattress looked like it served as a bed for the two kids. Then, a little girl with long blond hair in pig tails came out from behind some stacked up boxes.
"Trinity, this is her. The fire starter witch girl I told you about." The boy said as he let go of Robin's hand.
"She was with the hunters?" Trinity asked in a sweet voice. She approached Robin slowly. "Hello. My name is Trinity. And I'm a witch! And I'm only three years old!" The girl smiled and held up four fingers.
"Hi, My name is Robin." Robin replied and squatted down to the little girl's height level.
"That there is my brother, Koju. He's a witch too! He's only...six!" Trinity exclaimed with much excitement and held up five fingers. Robin smiled.
"Nice to meet you both." Robin said as Koju stuck out his hand for robin to shake. Robin removed her gloves and shook his hand.
"Why do you play with the witch hunters Robin if you are a witch?" Trinity asked as she had robin follow her behind the boxes. There behind the stacked boxed was a small table set up with lots of boxes of crackers and juice. "Sit please." Robin sat on the floor next to the table and leaned up against the wall, Trinity sat next to her and began sucking on a juice box. Koju sat across from robin and didn't take his eyes off her. He began to eat some crackers. "Want some?" Trinity asked and offered Robin some food.
"No thank you." Robin replied with a smile. "And I hang out with the hunters because they are my friends. We work together." Robin smiled.
"Hunter killed my mommy." Trinity said and looked down at her feet, which where bare. "She didn't do anything. She was just painting in the park one day, and a bunch of hunters came and killed her." Trinity began to cry. Koju scooted over to his sister and comforted her. robin thought and remembered the witch the girl was talking about.
"Well, actually, She wasn't out mother. She was caring for us though. Our real mother was killed by the same hunters when Trinity was only a year old." Koju corrected his sister. "I don't remember how she died, just that she was killed by hunters."
"Oh..." Robin exclaimed. She wasn't on the force that long ago, so she didn't know that hunt. "what about your father?" robin asked.
"He tried to protect her, and was killed too. He wasn't a witch though." Koju said. "Then, our other mommy found us. I never knew her name. But she cared for us for about a year and then she was killed, so we ran away to this place. We've been here about a year, then the hunter moved in across the street..." Koju said, refering to Karasuma who lived in the apartment across the street.
They are looking for us. I know they are. I wont let them take her away from me. I just wont!" Koju said and stood up and walked away.
"Robin, could you please tell the hunters to leave us alone. They are your friends, right." Trinity asked. Robin put her arm around Trinity and Trinity leaned onto Robin. Robin felt strong powers in the small girl and knew Solomon would demand a hunt on both her and her brother.
"I don't know Trinity. I don't have that ability." Robin said.
Outside Barrier
Amon was pacing back and forth. Dojima was on the phone ordering lunch from Harry's and Sakaki was trying to get the media to leave. It's been almost three hours since robin was kidnapped and there had been no news. Karasuma approched the barrier and held up a pice of paper with a message on it. Amon read it aloud to the other hunters.
"Robin is inside the abandoned warehouse across from my apartment. The boy has another mini barrier up preventing any entry. Also, have you tried shooting your orbo at the barrier? Maybe that will weaken it."
Amon finished reading and grabbed a piece of paper from his pocket and a pen and wrote back to her.
"Orbo has no effect on the barrier. Keep a close eye on that warehouse. Keep us informed."
Karasuma nodded her head and left.
