Chapter 7: Of Potions and Discoveries
"She's WHAT!"
Jake hurried to tell his grandfather everything. Needless to say, Lao was extremely stressed and worried.
"Yo, I'm sorry!" Jake said. He sighed. "This is all my fault. If I hadn't ticked Leah off by thinking about Rose too much..."
Lao Shis' face softened. "Do not worry, Young one. We will find her."
Jake, Lao, and Fu searched every possible hideout the Huntsclan could be. Jake was interested in the baby in the picture in the locket. Could Rose and Leah be related? Is Rose, herself a kidnap victim?
Leah struggled as Rose tied her to a chair.
"Let me go!" She cried.
"Aw, but I worked so hard to kidnap you!" Huntsgirl mocked. She couldn't say anything else, since the Huntsman was right behind her.
"Well done, Thorn." He said approvingly. "Now, the potion!"
Leah gulped. Potion? Oh, crap.
"Okay," Lao, Jake, Fu, Spud, and Trixie were sitting around a table surrounding a map of NYC. Lao was speaking. "It is possible, the Huntsclan may have-" He broke out into a coughing fit.
"You okay, Gramps?" Jake asked, concerned.
"I am...I am weak..." Gramps put a hand to his forehead. "The Huntsman must have given Leah a potion to obey Huntsmans' every command!"
The five some exchanged worried looks. "Aww, man!" Jake, Trixie, and Spud exclaimed.
"Relax, kids, I have an antidote!" Fu assured them. "Now where did I put it?" He starts looking.
Suddenly, Jake had a vision. A flashback, actually. It was of him walking nervously to a gothic penthouse that had the number 5342 on it.
"Yo! Earth to Jake!" Trixie was waving a hand in front of Jakes' face. "You in there?"
"I know where Leah is!" He exclaimed.
"Where?" Spud and Trixie asked simultaneously.
"At Roses' penthouse! I went there to rehearse a play with her!"
"Whoa..."
"Leah must have sent you a subliminal message!" Lao guessed. He coughed again. "Do you remember where it is?"
Jake thought for a moment. "Yes."
