Chapter 4

Lloyd showed Matt the place where Genis and Colette were kidnapped.

"Hmmm." Matt said looking around.

Lloyd looked around but didn't see what Matt was noticing.

"Look over here." Matt said motioning for Lloyd to come over and look.

"What is it?" Lloyd asked.

"Look right there." Matt said pointing to a spot on the ground.

"I don't see anything."

"Look closer."

"Ummm.. I don't get it." Lloyd said looking close at the ground.

"If you look at it very closely you can see how the dirt is uneven in some places and it is flattened in others. In other words it looks like there was a struggle right here."

"Hey, that's right where Genis was sitting the night he was kidnapped!" Lloyd exclaimed.

"That's what I thought," Matt started. " and then it looks like he was dragged down this way." he said pointing into the forest.

"I'm confused, how could there have been a struggle if we didn't hear anything?" Lloyd asked with a confused face.

"I'm not sure, his kidnapper must have had some very advanced technology to take away the sound of it."

"Well, let's just follow the trail."

"Alright, but if they had such advanced technology then I don't think the trail will go very far."

Lloyd started down the trail in the dirt and Matt followed closely.
They walked for a while.

"Look, it stops right there." said Matt pointing down the trail.

"Hmmm..." said Lloyd. "Well, now what?"

"I'll show you. Come this way." Matt said walking back towards the hideout.

Lloyd followed Matt as he walked back to the hideout.

"Look here." said Matt pointing to where Colette had been sitting when the animal came.

"What is it?" Lloyd asked looking to where Matt was pointing.

"Animal tracks." Matt told him as he looked. "These are the tracks from the animal that kidnapped Genis and Colette. The animal disappeared before covering up it's tracks."

"What good are the animal tracks?" Lloyd asked.

"Well," Matt started. "we can find out what kind of animal it was with it's tracks."

"Oh, yeah, I knew that."

Matt pulled something out of his pack.

"I'm going to draw the print onto this peice of paper and bring it to a lab and have it scanned so we can find out what kind of animal this is."

"Wow, you're smart."

"Yeah, I get that a lot. Now let's hurry and get going to a lab!"

"Ok." said Lloyd watching Matt draw the paw onto the paper.

They left Iselia and wandered to a spot in the forest.

"Here we go." Matt said pulling a box from his backpack.
He placed the box on the ground and said, "Lab! Activate!"

Suddenly the box transformed from a box into a door on the ground.

Lloyd stared in awe.

"Wait 'til you see the inside." Matt said entering.

Lloyd followed him into the lab.
It was amazing.
It had everything a lab could possibly have.

"How am I standing here?" Lloyd asked still in awe.

"You just are. Don't tell anyone about this. Then word'll get around and my folks may find out and get mad."

"Why?"

"Because you aren't supposed to know about this."

"Why not?"

"I can't explain, you just can't tell anyone! Promise?"

"Ok, Promise." Lloyd said still amazed.

"Over here." said Matt walking over to a scanner.

Lloyd followed him over to it.
Matt place the paper on the scanner closed the top and hit the scan button.

"Scanning... Searching... One match found..." it said on the scanners screen.

"Animal name: Yato Seyato (Yah-toe Say-ah-toe)"

"Oh my gosh!" said Matt in shock.
