Wow, these chapters are getting long, no wonder my finger tips are so red, and no I'm only kidding, my fingers are fine, why else am I writing this?

Lunar Fire: I killed Bryan! But I'm not sure about Tala… (Evil laugh. Gets hit with rotten fruit)

ShadedRogue: O.o Faye is the evil chick

Princessmoi: Thank you, thank you (bows)

CucumberPickles: Sorry but I personally don't like Bryan that much, especially his voice, Yuk.

AngeloflLight: Glad I made you so happy; hope I can do the same for this chapter

Chapter 19

"Kai, are you awake, Kai"

Kai shifted his steely eyes of Rei and onto the person talking, it was Mr Dickinson, he was looking very tired.

"Right, as I was saying, Spencer and Ian have been kidnapped a few days ago and Bryan or Tala has not been seen".

"Kai I do not want you to leave this room without Rei or Scot, I don't want you to leave without Rika or Scot knowing.

And I don't want you to say no, understand".

Everyone looked at Kai and all he does was look back at Rei.

"Rei, you are to be with Kai all the time, no matter what he says or does, you are to be there, the police are looking for the boys so all we can do is wait, everyone understand?"

Kai stood up and walked back to his bed, getting in, he turned his back from them and closed his eyes.

He was holding the brown box so hard that he could see his fingers turning white.

Everyone left.

Rei stayed in the room, he was uncomfortable with the teen, his mind was wondering lately, towards what only he knew.

Rei walked over to Kai and placed his hand on Kai's shoulder, he felt his body tense, but there was no verbal distress from the teen.

Rei sat down and went looking through some magazines.

"Mr Dickinson, Stanley sir!"

Mr Dickinson turned around to see a young man of twenty running up to him; he looked worried and anxious all at once.

"Yes can I help you?"

The man was panting catching his breath he said, "I was told you were the one to call about a boy, Tala?"

"Yes do you know anything, where he is?"

The man smiled and said, "I know where he is"

"Where then, with Voltaire at the abbey?"

The man's smiled broadened, "Right here in the hospital, he was running into the road, he was bleeding, I knocked him over, and he's in a coma sir".

Mr Dickinson was taken by shock, he had not expected that.

"What's your name?"

"Connor, Connor White"

"Well Mr White, take me to this boy and then we will talk".

Tala was stable; he was a coma and not doing to well.

Mr Dickinson watched as his chest rose and fell, he saw the bruises on his cheek and Connor said he'd gotten them when he was knocked by his Volvo.

"Is the boy in some kind of trouble?"

Mr Dickinson knew that Mr White deserved an explanation but wasn't to sure on what to tell him.

"He was in a bit of a tight spot when you found him. His friend is here in hospital and would love to know that his friend is alive as it was him who began the search".

This seemed to get Connor's attention and his curiosity was raised a notch, "His friend, what is he in for if I may ask?"

"He's got a disease with no cure. It runs in the family and so, they need to find the cure before it is too late".

"What disease does he have, Mr Dickinson?"

"We are not sure of the name or the full extent of the disease but it seems to eat you from the inside out and if it hits your major organs you are dead".

There was a pause and they began to walk, Mr Dickinson and Mr White, speaking was they walked.

It turned out, Mr White was a lawyer, just in training, he'd come to Russia to sort out his uncles will and then head back to the United States he lives apparently in Manhattan.

"Ray what you are doing without Kai?" spoke up Mr Dickinson, they were headed for the cafeteria.

Ray was looking happy and said, "He's with Leon and Eve Riley, their chatting, well I think Leon's doing most of the chatting for both of them".

Mr Dickinson nodded and introduced them, "Ray, this is Connor White, he found Tala, Mr White this is Ray Kon".

They said hello and walked towards the food.

"So Ray, do you miss home?"

Connor White was an interesting man as Ray observed he didn't miss much and was always smiling, "It's fun here with my friends, but sometimes I will miss them in China, where you from them Mr White?"

Connor shook his head, "Call me Connor, I'm not that old. I was born in Zambia, my father was a photographer and was there with my mother, a RussianGerman medical student she was heading I think towards the Congo I'm not too sure.

My father was half Irish and Australian so the blood mixed a bit and so I was here. I grew up in the United States with my Aunt and Uncle as my parents died in a car accident when I was twelve. But when I was with my parents we moved a lot".

Ray was interested and listened inventively.

"You know, Tala he's pure Russian, was born here too, but he hates Russian language and the food he despises".

"You know that reminds me, Ray can you take Mr White to see Kai and tell him that Tala is here in the hospital and under a coma please?"

Ray nodded and the walked in the opposite direction as Mr Dickinson.

"…And then he kicked her and she screamed really, really high and Miss Riley also screamed because this goo appeared in her face…"

Kai was smiling as he listened to Leon.

It was interesting listing to a child jabber on and on like this.

Miss Riley listed as well but was drawing a picture of Kai and Leon together.

She was just working on Kai's nose.

There was knock on the door and Ray's head popped in and smiled, "Is he awake?"

Kai opened one crimson eye and watched as Ray came in with someone following.

The person looked around and then down at Leon and back at Kai, his face shocked and amazed.

Miss Riley saw this and smiled, "It's quite a resemblance isn't it"

The man nodded and Ray introduced them, "Connor this is Miss Eve Riley, Leon Hiwatari and Kai Hiwatari, everyone this is Mr Connor White, he found Tala".

Kai was watching Connor and said, "Where is he?"

Connor cleared his throat and said, "He was running and I accidentally knocked him over with my car. He's in this hospital in a coma".

He looked down at Leon; there must be at least a ten year difference between them!

There was silence when the five year old walked up to Kai and said, "Aren't you going to say thank you"

"Why?"

They watched as Leon acted like the older one of the two, "Because it polite and because he found Tala"

"But he put Tala in a coma"

"That doesn't matter he still found him, if it wasn't for the fact that Tala was in a coma he wouldn't even be here!" snapped Eve.

Connor watches them exchange an awful amount of glares and dirty looks but Kai still ended up sighing and saying, "I guess I should say thank you for finding Tala. But I still don't like the fact you put him in a coma".

Leon smiled and looked up at Connor saying, "Thank you Connor, you found Kai's best friend", and he hugged him.

Kai watched them and smiled inside.

Rika wished it would stop snowing already.

She wished the sun would melt all the white stuff away.

She knew her brother loved the snow but her, she couldn't spend a day in it and this snow was getting to her.

Scot was walking next to her, his arm around her waist, they were walking towards a bench were they could rest after running around in search of Tala and Bryan.

They sat and she sighed, his arms still around her, her red head resting on his chest, just below his shoulder.

"I never understood why Kai loved the snow", suddenly spoke Scot, breaking the silence that had hovered over them for some time.

"Hmm, mother said he was just like father"

"But he has Voltaire's short temper"

Rika looked up at her boyfriend and smiled, "Voltaire was angry. Because my father produced children without his…wickedness"

Scot held her tighter, closer to him and said, "I'm just happy with the way you are, Rika Elisabeth Chekhov-Hiwatari"

Rika looked up; she hadn't heard her full name in ages, and it sounded right when he said it too, "Kai changed didn't he. Before he went to abbey, you know something don't you", she was now looking.

Scot released his grip on her and used the same hand to run his index finger down her cheek, "Voltaire would go away a lot, sorting out things for Biovolt and for you. He left Kai with Boris that was a mistake"

Rika frowned, "It was before Kai went to abbey. He was being trained there with a girl, she was, well different from others", he explained.

"Faye?"

"Yes, she was special; Kai and Faye had their differences as children then. But they were separated most of time. After a while, Voltaire sent them with Boris to the abbey.

I watched them. Tala had a thing for Faye and Faye wasn't sure how she felt anymore, she'd been with Kai so long it was and to think of anyone else but him".

Scot sighed and cupped Rika's face in his hands, "After a while she detached herself from the other children. This was only a year that they'd been there. Kai was around six, he was wounded when Faye wouldn't see him, speak to him or even battle him, she was powerful, an opponent he'd never face"

"I thought he changed before the abbey?"

"He didn't have to, Kai grew with no love or family that is different from Leon and the original, they had family, someone they could call their friend, Kai only had Faye and Faye betrayed him".

"Then what, what happened"

"The day Kai gave me this scar was the day Faye needed help"

He paused and felt Rika trace the scar across his cheek; he saw tears swell in her eyes.

"I was helping a new guard, he was young and didn't know the rules yet, he got on the wrong side of Kai.

"I don't remember it all but I do remember Faye screaming and Tala comforting her, the new guy saw this and hit Faye and Tala.

Kai come and tried to hit the guy. I came and I tried to break it up, but Kai got hold of a knife, I'm not sure where he got it but it had looked like a stone that had been sharpened to its sharpest point.

It was meant for the newbie, Iran, Iran was killed, and as the knife had scarred my cheek it had hit Iran in the throat".

Rika was holding him breath and let the air out.

"When I woke when I was hurt and in Kai's cabin, he asked me if he'd scarred the other cheek, remember?"

Rika nodded, his hands still holding her face.

"He only mentioned Tala. He didn't mention Faye, because she was gone after he woke and was confused".

"Is she really dead?"

Scot removed his hands and hugged her, he was lost in her hair, and she was lost in his shirt, "I'm not sure"

Rika hugged him and she asked, "Do you think Kai will survive"

Scot held her tighter and felt her wet tears running down on his chest, as he gave his answer she fell into his arms even deeper, "I don't know"

Awww sweet…I love Rika and Scot they make such a perfect couple…what do you think? Are they right for each other, I think so, but lets here what you all think.
