A/N- Sorry, i would've had this up sooner, but there was a stupid bug being totally fuckin annoying and stopping me from uploading documents; i had to wait for three hours for to fix it...

remember:

'Moon Child thinking'

'Moon Child speaking'

Thinking

"Speaking"

"Someone speaking in another language"
"Gone? What do you mean, 'gone'?" A voice drifted down the hallway.

Ray glanced at Bryan with a frown before they hurried down that very same hallway to see Ian and Spencer with a doctor and a nurse.

"He can't be gone! He was in a stupid coma a few days ago!" Ian protested. Spencer was frowning at his companion, but made no sound.

The doctor sighed. "I assure you that we have alerted the police and-"

"What's going on here?" Bryan asked coldly, looking from Ian and Spencer to the nurses.

"Tala's gone!"

"What?" Bryan growled. "Stupid captain... can't sit still for even a few days..."

Unbeknownst to the teens, the doctors slipped away, leaving the four to themselves.

"Are you sure Tala's gone?" Ray asked, shifting the big, pouch/backpack that was strung around his shoulders.

"Nah, Kon. He's sitting in his room, but we can't see him." Ian replied sarcastically.

Bryan growled. "He's only trying to help, Shrimp." He retorted, venom dripping off every syllable. He sighed, trying to calm himself down. "Okay, so when did you find out that Tala had gone?"

"Just five minutes ago," Spencer said, "when we arrived."

"He could be quite far away," Ray admitted, "I left him at just after midday yesterday and-"

"Wait, wait, wait. Midday? Where the hell have you two been?" Ian asked.

"Looking after Bryan." Ray replied calmly.

"Because..."

"Because I was attacked." Bryan said.

Both Ian and Spencer looked in shock at the grey haired Russian.

"You... what?"

"You okay, Bryan?" Spencer asked, frowning.

Bryan nodded. "Just a scrape down my back."

Ray snorted. "'Just a scrape' he says..." He muttered.

"What are you talking about Kon?" Ian asked, looking utterly confused, but neither Bryan nor Ray paid no heed.

"It was a scrape, Ray." Bryan said.

"Oh yeah, it was totally a scrape. Having a cut that measured just under half a meter and took thirty stitches to sew up is a scrape; oh hell yeah." Ray replied sarcastically. He noticed Ian's jaw, which was just abut brushing the floor because it was so wide. "Uh, what?"

"Jesus Christ, Bry, that must've bloody hurt."

"It didn't." Bryan said simply.

"But who attacked you?"

"Hunters."

"What? The hunters? From the village?"

"What do you think they're doing here?" Spencer asked rhetorically, but Bryan answered him all the same.

"They want the cub." He replied.

'I ain't a cub!'

"…"

Ray rolled his eyes. Can't stay silent for even an hour, can you Moony?

"I could've sworn I heard that wolf…" Ian muttered, looking around.

'Here I am!' Moon Child yapped, bursting out of the pouch on Ray's back, front paws resting on Ray's shoulders. 'Miss me?'

"I should've known she'd be around…" Ian muttered.

"But back to more important matters; we need to find Red." Bryan growled, watching Ray place the bag containing Moon Child on the floor in the corner of his eye.

"It could be the hunters?" Ian suggested, but Spencer shook his head.

"Could be, but why target Tala? He may've found the wolf but he hasn't done anything apart from that." He said. "Though I could check out CCTV just in case…"

"Don't they keep the tapes locked up and guarded and stuff?" Ray asked.

The elder smirked. "Even better reason to have a look." He replied.

Ray frowned in slight confusion, but Bryan beat him to it. "Trust him on this one, Kitten. He'll get in there and be able to watch a marathon of hospital life pretty easily and undisturbed."

Ray narrowed his eyes at the 'kitten' nickname. Sure, he didn't mind Bryan calling him that, but not in front of the infamous Blitzkrieg Boys! Oh well, looks like it was taunting/teasing central for the poor feline.

"Watch it Falcon." Ray hissed. "Or you'll be finding out just how sharp this kitten's claws are."

'He's got you there, Ice…' Moon Child (If wolves could-) giggled.

"Just try me… kitten." Bryan smirked, Ian and Spencer left forgotten on the sidelines. "But unless you want to end up like you were 3 years ago, I'd stop sharpening your claws and go play with your yarn."

"Bryan? Could I ask you something?" Ray said in fluent Chinese. The Falcon could understand Chinese; Ray learnt that a few nights ago. "How do you say 'couch' in Russian?"

"Couch."

"Er Bry? Why did you say-" but Ian was cut off.

"Good, cos that's where you're gunna be sleeping from now on, Falcon." Ray said smugly.

Bryan raised an eyebrow, ignoring the gawks from Ian. "Bet you won't be able to pull that off, Kitten."

"Wait, are you two-"

"I think I could." Ray replied, cutting Ian short once again.

"Really now?"

"Really."

"…I don't think you could."

"Oh? How so?"

"Because of this-"

And Bryan kissed Ray firmly on the lips… totally ignoring the facts that: 1) They were in a hospital; 2) They were in public; 3) Ian and Spencer were there. Ray responded to the sudden show of emotion with a sigh before kissing back just as fiercely.

Ian's eyes were as wide as dinner plates. "Ahueyet! (1) Now that's something you won't see everyday… I'm scarred for life, I betcha… come on, let's go see those tapes… but let's see the ones that were filmed yesterday, and you are looking at them first! Just in case those two are swapping spit again…"

(1) 'What the Fuck!' in Russian

Ha, bet the tauntings are being written inside Ian's tiny brain… but will Tala find Kai in time, where ever the dude is? And will Ray and Bryan be able to help Tala or will the hunters get to them first?
