Hilary was the first to exit the black car as it parked at the front steps to Voltaires mansion.
'Wait up Hilary!' Tyson called.
All the others seemed intimidated by the house. Hilary merely ignored the evil pressence that the others clearly felt. Ray was the next to follow Hilary then the others came.
'Jeeze,' said Tyson, 'It's a bit of a walk to the front door!'
Up ahead they saw two guards standing on either side of the front door. Over their heads was a roof, held up by large white and black pillars that were lined evenly along the side of the path.
'It's like walking though to a temple,' Tyson stated looking around.
'A temple would look and feel alot more welcoming and sacred,' said Ray smiling, 'But this place is just...'
Ray didn't know how to end it with the right words to describe exactly how it felt to him.
'Creepy?' Max offered.
Ray nodded, even though they all agreed creepy was an understatement.
The grounds where the snow parted and exposed the grass beneath, was all grey. Even the snow looked gloomy. The property seemed to be alot gloomier and darker than the rest of the town. The trees surrounding the house were dead and warped, with large hollows in them. Crows sat in the upper branches and watched the visitors sinisterly.
One crow cawed and Daichi grabbed Max fearfully, not taking his eyes of the black bird.
'I don't like this place,' he said.
'I know how you feel,' said Tyson.
He looed beside him to Hilary.
Her eyes still looked hollow and shaddowed. Her face was emotionless. This place wasn't scaring her at all! Tyson was confused.
'Hilary? Are you okay?'
'Yes,' she said blankly.
'Aren't you intimidated at all?' Kenny asked clasping his laptop as if it would protect him incase anything attacked them.
'No,'
Tyson, Ray and Max stopped and looked at eachother. Kenny, Daichi and Mr Dickenson stopped with them. Hilary halted then glanced back.
'Coming?' she asked.
Her tone was so hollow, without any tone or emotion.
'Are you sure you're alright?' Tyson asked again.
'I said I was fine!' Hilary's voice was suddenly angry.
'We're worried about you Hil!' said Ray in concern.
'Don't be.'
'You haven't said a single word since we first got here!' Max added.
'How are we supposed to not worry about you when you seem so distant and depressed?' Tyson asked.
'I'm fine!' Hilary repeated.
'Hilary,' said Mr Dickenson politely, putting his hand on her shoulder, 'The boys do have a point. We are concerned for you.'
'Let it go!' Hilary said angrily. She brushed away the elders hand impatiently, 'I said I'm fine! So drop it!'
Hilary turned her back on them.
'We're trying to help you!' said Tyson angrily, 'Stop acting so much like Kai!'
Hilary snapped. She rounded on the and grabbed Tyson by the collar pulling him close to her face. Tyson wasn't intimidated and hid his shock from her actions well. His face was hard and stern. Hilary was furious and breathed hard.
'Just shut up Tyson!' she growled. 'Kai needs my help and I-'
'DON'T make the mistake in thinking that you are the only one who wants to sav Kai!' Tyson cut in.
His tone was angry. The others could only watched with held breath. Hilary's hangs were still clasped firmly on Tysons shirt. She was noticably smaller than Tyson but it didn't seem to matter to her.
'Kai is our friend too,' Tyson continued, 'We want him back just as much as you do, so stop acting selfish and thinkng that you are the only one who cares because you're not! We are all in this together, we're a team! You aren't alone Hilary.'
Hilary's hands began shaking. She lowered her head so her fringe fell over her eyes. Her trembling hands released Tysons shirt then fell limply to her side. Two clear watery trickles came down her cheeks from her hidden eyes.
'I'm sorry...' she whispered.
The others smiled at her.
'It's alright Hil!' said Ray.
'Yea, we'll find Kai,' said Max.
Hilary nodded numbly. Tyson nodded then walked upto the front door. The two guards stopped him. They said something to him in Russian.
'Huh?' Tyson looked at them in utter confusion.
The guards said something to eachother then turned back to Tyson and spoke in English to him through heavy accents.
'Halt.'
'Who are you?'
They're like twins! thought Tyson, Nerds...
'We're here to see Voltaire.' said Mr Dickenson. 'It concerns his grandson Kai.'
The man on the right took out a walkie-talkie. He spoke in Russian to it. There was a moment of silence.
I wish I could speak Russian, Tyson thought resentfully, Then I'd know exactly what they're saying!
A voice came back on the walkie-talkie... in Russian of course. The guards nodded then opened the doors.
'Lord Voltaire wil see you shortly,' said one of them.
The G Revolutions team entered the large house and looked arond in awe.
'It's like the Taj Mahal in here!' exclaimed Tyson.
A person suddenly walked. It was Voltaire. He looked at the bladers and their manager in loathe and disdane.
'To what do I owe this unpleasant surprise?' he asked rudely.
'We are here concerning Kai,' said Mr Dickenson firmly.
Hilary, Tyson and Ray noticed are small look of shock which was quickly hidden again.
He knows something! they thought similtaniously.
'Is there anything that you know that could help us to find him?' Mr Dickenson asked.
'Hmmmm...' Voltaire thought for a moment, 'Nope. Nothing that the police wouldn't have told you.'
'So you have no idea where he was taken?' Kenny pressed, 'If he was spotted, a piece of ripped clothing, any clues, if he had any enemies here who'd want to hurt him?'
Voltaire laughed.
'Enemies! I am one of them! But no, I don't know where he is and there haven't been any clues reported that I know of. Now if thats all you people want then get the hell off my property.'
'That's not all!' said Hilary hotly, 'You know something! I know it! You're lying to us!'
Voltaire looked at her contemptuously.
'You have some nerve saying that to me,' he said dangerously, 'Don't you think I'd want to get as many people as possible to look for my grandson?'
'You don't give a rats ass about Kai!' said Tyson angrily.
'Tyson!' Mr Dickenson tried to intervene but failed.
'If you cared so much about Kai then how come you haven't televised his disappearance!' Tyson continued hotly, 'After almost four friggin months you've said nothing to the press! No one knew he was even missing!'
Mr Dickenson and Kenny were dumb-shocked by Tysons outburst. The others all looked at Voltaire angrily, wanting answers.
'Tell us what you know!' said Hilary, 'If you really cared about Kai you would tell us so we could find him!'
Voltaire cast a hateful look at them all.
'You all have some nerve coming into my house and accusing me of with-holding information that could lead to my stupi-ahem grandsons discovery. I have my reasons for not telling the press and it quite frankly is none of your business what I do! Now... I suggest you all get off my property now before I have you arrested for tresspassing! Get out of my sight.'
He turned his back on them and walked away.
'Hold it!' Tyson yelled, 'We're not finish-'
Three guards suddenly stood infront of him, holding guns in their hands but pointing them at the ground.
'Lord Voltaire said leave!' said one of them menacingly.
Tyson looked at them with contempt and watched as Voltaire disappeared down a hall. He growled then spun on his heel and headed out the door.
'Let's go!' he said angrily.
Hilary was just as mad. She had half a mind to chase after the evil man but her common-sense over-rode the rash decision and she followed Tyson out. The others followed them quietly.
Once Voltaire saw the black car drive away, from his window, he picked up a phone beside him and dailed a number. There was a small pause then the person on the other end picked up.
'Boris, it's me,' he said, 'I've had a few unexpected guests here today. I will be coming to the abbey tomorrow evening.'
'Yes sir!' said Boris on the other end.
Voltaire hung up the phone.
It's a shame, he thought, Too many people will notice if those meddling twits go missing or turn up face down in a ditch. But I have to get rid of them! Or they'll ruin everything!
----
Mr Dickenson had booked them all into a hotel room. They brought their luggage up and dumped it in the living room. Tyson looked around and saw Hilary leaning on the railing of the deck. Tson walked out onto the deck and leaned beside her. Ray joined them. They looked out over the edge. It was a four storey drop to the fluffy snow carpeted ground.
'Voltaire definately knows something,' said Tyson finally.
'He knows where Kai is,' said Ray.!
Hilary nodded.
'Why isn't he helping us?' she asked, 'I know he hates Kai, but they're still family!'
'No,' said Ray shaking his head, 'Kai is Voltaires adopted grandson, he only used Kai for his power. There was no affection or blood bond between them, and even if there was, I doubt Voltaire would even care.'
Tyson clenched his fist and growled in frustration.
'Oh I could just kill that wrinkled old cocky bastard!' he said menacingly.
Ray smiled.
'Your use of language has been very... colourful today Tyson,' he said.
Tyson smirked. Something came to him.
'I have an idea!' he said excitedly.
'This is a first, said Hilary looking at the navy haired teen.
'Let's keep an eye on Voltaire!' Tyson said, 'He's bound to go see Kai eventually! So when we see him leave, we'll just follow his car and he'll lead us straight to Kai!'
'Unless Kai is in the house,' said Ray. 'In which case Voltaire may not even leave. Or he might not go see Kai for a few days.'
Tyson scratched his head in frustration.
'Don't say that! You're wrecking my idea man!'
'Okay okay,' said Ray smiling, 'We'll go keep an eye on Voltaires place. But lets not get the others involved in this. We don't want them to get in trouble incase we're caught, and besides, three people are alot harder to see than seven!'
'And Mr D would skin us alive if he found out what we were up to!' Tyson whispered.
They smiled in similtanious agreement. They'd seen only a tip of Mr Dickensons anger after they'd got back into the car and left Voltaires place. The whole time Tyson hadn't even paid attention to the elder.
'So it's agreed,' Tyson whispered, 'Tomorrow morning, we'll begin operation Spy and Rescue!'
'Wow, there's a name with alot of thought put behind it!' said Hilary sarcasticly.
Tyson made a little figity frustrated motion with his han then walked off for dinner. Ray and Hilary looked at eachother and smiled.
'It's nice to see you smiling again,' he said kindly.
Hilary realised it was the first time she'd smiled for a long time. She couldn't remember the last time she'd smiled. Ray grinned then left, walking after Tyson. Hilary remained on the balcony. She looked into the sky. It was a clear sky tonght with only a few scattered fluffy clouds which were lined with silver from the moon. Stars were scattered infinitly across the sky.
I'm getting closer to finding you Kai... she thought, Soon... we'll be together again!
