Connor was looking around, seeing a woman and a place he had never seen before, she was calling him Edward. He was living as his grandfather, he was inside the machine. Connor fought the machine, not wanting to give them any information, but little by little, they were getting what they wanted. The were turning him against the assassins, making him see all that his ancestors had done before him. He felt like he had lived years of Edwards life, and as Scarlet pulled him out of the machine, he felt weak. She came over, straddling his lap again, this time a cup of broth in her hands.

"Would you like to drink some of this? If you behave nicely I will feed you." Connor parted his lips and she brought the cup up to them, tipping it slowly so he could drink. He took a long sip, and when she pulled the cup away, he looked at her.

"How long was I in there?"

"Oh don't worry, I took good care of you." Connor could feel her weight on him, and that disgusted him. He could feel her lips close to the skin on his neck, and he tried to distract her.

"May I have another drink?" She bit down in his earlobe, and Connor pulled against his restraints. Scarlet pulled back and looked at Connor while she picked up the cup she had brought in. She brought it up his mouth, but dumped it down his chest before getting up and retrieving another needle.

"I told you, you must behave nicely." She then jabbed the needle into the i.v. pushing the medication in faster than she should have. The cold rushed through Connor's vein followed by in the intense burning, the sensation traveled up his arm and neck, then the world went black.

Luna woke up, seeing her dad sleeping in a chair next to the bed. She tried to sit up, but found that the pain was too much. Hugh stirred, then he heard his name, and it was the best sound he could ever imagine.

"Daddy. Wake up." Her voice was muffled as her jaw had been wired shut, but he heard her nonetheless.

"Luna, oh god how are you sweetheart?" There were tears in her eyes as she tried to talk, the pain almost unbearable.

"Have they found him?"

"No, Not yet. They haven't stopped though."

"How long?" He could see her struggling and he stopped her, knowing what she wanted to know.

"It's been close to 24 hours." Luna dropped her head back, the tears rolling down her cheeks. She heard a sound at the door, and the nurse came in.

"Oh, I'm so happy to see you awake. How is the pain?" Luna held up both hand, displaying seven fingers to the nurse. "Let's get you something for pain then. I can have the doctor come in to talk to you, he's going to want to see you now that you're awake."

Luna could only nod in agreement and the nurse left, and on her way out she passed another man coming in, Edward. He stood in the doorway, looking her over as she stared out the window.

Edward could see tears rolling down Luna's cheeks, and he took a step inside the door. She heard his footfall and turned to look at him, her eyes were red as she searched his face for any indication that he had found Connor. Edward couldn't even face her, her eyes bore too much sadness, so he looked to the ground.

"Nothing yet, I only stopped by to check on you." He looked up at her slowly, and he could see she was holding a hand out for him. Edward walked over taking her hand and Hugh excused himself, saying he needed a cup of coffee, letting Luna talk to Edward privately. "He's my blood, I'll look for the rest of my days if I have to. I'll look until we find him."

She brought his hand up to his lips, kissing it softly as he looked into her eyes. He could see she was in pain and soon the nurse came back in with a shot of something, slowly adding it to her i.v. As the nurse left Edward turned back to her, soothing her hair back as he sat on the side of her bed. Luna touched his cheek, crying softly as she looked at him.

"Please. Find him" Edward closed his eyes, swallowing down a lump in his throat before he could answer her.

"I give you my word missy. You rest now, I want you better when I bring him back to you. Aye?" She nodded and he then pressed a kiss to her forehead before he pulled away. She slowly let his hand go as he looked at her, then once his fingers left her skin, he turned and left, not able to face her anymore. Not until he had good news. It killed him to see her so sad, and he didn't want to have to give her any bad news ever again.

Hugh met up with Edward in the hallway, and he could see the tears threatening to fall in Edward's eyes. They spoke briefly, and soon Hugh was back at Luna's bedside. Edward headed into the pit, putting together some new information that had been gathered about the guys who took Connor. One of the technical analyst hacked into a city camera and spotted the car that Connor was pushed into. They now were trying to track the car as it drove through the streets, but it was going to take hours to double-check all the footage. Several hours later, they got the worst news, they men that had taken Connor were found dead. Edward turned and swiped his cup of coffee off the desk he was leaning on, cursing loud.

"We need to know who in the hell these gents were. We need to find out who paid them to do this and we need to know now damn it." Soon Ezio and Carlo were by his side and they all started doing research on the two hired henchmen. After three hours on searching and combining the information the acquired they found out who the two men were, and a list of some of their known associates. Carlo could see that Edward was exhausted, but he pushing himself to find Connor.

"Edward, why don't you go take quick refresher nap. I promise you we can handle this, we will come get you when we pinpoint an address."

"No, I'm good. Just tell me what I need to do."

"Edward, you're exhausted, and you're no good if your brain isn't working right. I promise, we won't make a move without you."

"Fine, but don't let me sleep for more than an hour, and when I wake up, I want to know everything."

"Of course." Edward walked away defeated, and when he came across a room with bunks in it, he found one and laid down. He tossed and turned not able to relax, but his eyes were heavy, he closed then, sleep setting in quickly. His dreams were haunting images of how they found Luna, beaten and left on the living room floor. It was apparent that whoever had beat her, kicked her while she was already out. Images of someone kicking her and striking her plagued him. Suddenly he sat upright, feeling that someone was next to him. The room was dark, but there was golden glow coming from above him. Edward turned his eyes up toward the ceiling, and he saw a figure of a woman.

"Edward, you care for her so much, and for Connor as well. You must find him before they turn him against you."

"I'm trying, where can I find him?"

"The red woman has him. She will use his mind and his body for her own desires."

"Who is the red woman?" In an instant the woman was gone, just as someone opened up the door to the room

"Edward? Hey you awake, we have the list of name narrowed down." Edward jumped up, heading out into the hallway where Carlo was waiting on him. Once they were both back next to Ezio, Rebecca and Shaun walked in. Carlo surprised to see them.

"What are you two doing here?"

"We came to help. What can we do?" Shaun was bit intimidated by Ezio and Edward, they both were monstrous men, so he kept his sass hidden.

"WE are just about to look over the list of potential suspects. Alright first we have Winter Rellings, but it's doubtful he's our guy. The last reports we got on him placed him in Greece just hours before the attack. Next is Antonia Belinza he was confirmed alive by Luna just a days ago, and we know he turned Clay over to abstergo. We also know that he and Luna had a torrid affair, so he's got motive. Then there is Sebastian Moran, he has plotted against the brotherhood for a long time, and he's in New York. Our final suspect, is Scarlet Bardin. She's a rouge Templar who decided she'd rather make herself rich than to deal with Abstergo's rules, and she and Luna crossed paths a few times." Edward then pointed to her name on the list.

"The golden ghost woman, she woke me up. She said The Red Woman had Connor. She's the only woman on the list." Rebecca then added with a smile.

"Scarlet is also a shade of red."
