I got back to Toru's place. I came in and he could tell what happened. I was breathing heavy and I was sweating from the run here.

"Get your answers?"

"Yep. It was easy getting in there too. Getting away…not so much. Well it was until I got to the door and he found out I was lieing."

"I can see. Well now that you got your answers, what next?"

"Yeah what next Al?" Tyler said from the headset.

"I think maybe I should go back to the house, see if there's anything there that might give me some kind of clues as to where this Natla woman is."

"Think that's a good idea? That might be where they plan on looking for you."

"I know that, but it might be my only shot. Do you have any faith in me Ty?"

"Course I do. Just don't want you getting shot is all."

"Well I'm going to try not to. Now to get a plane home for tomarrow."

"No need." Toru said. "I'll take you home. It's much easier."

"Thanks."

"No problem."

I took a shower and got dressed. When I had all my stuff he hopped on Toru's plane and headed back home, well to Tyler's house.

When I got off I went straight to Tyler's house. I needed to find somthing that would help me understand this.

"Ty knowing you you did research on the hammer. What did you find?"

"Nothing really. Just alot of mythology that we already know."

"All I got was our information confirmed."

"Well now what?"

"I'm going back to the house."

"What? Why?"

"Cause like it or not it's the only lead we really have. There has to be somthing there."

"You think they left somthing behind?"

"They always do." I loaded my pistols and left. "Stay in touch."

"Will do!" Tyler said as I walked out the front door. I need to call Zip. Tell him what was going on. Maybe he was back home already, or found out naything about that Kurtis guy.

"Al? That you?"

"Yep. The one and only. So anything? About what happened or this Kurtis fellow?"

"Nothing about the break in so far, and what's with you and this Kurtis guy?"

"He was with the guys that broke into the house. He said he coming to make sure they didn't get the hammer, plus he said he was an old friend of moms."

"And how do you know he wasn't lieing?"

"Because he was there when I got the hammer. He didn't try and take it from me or stop me from getting away."

"Alright. Well where are you now?"

"Coming up to the house."

"Alright well come on in and join the party."

"Huh?" But he just hung up. I put my phone away and walked in. I went towards the office and saw Winston waiting for me.

"Ah Alexa. I'd be carful if I were you. There's still glass everywhere and stay clear of your mother."

"She's back!"

"Yes and I'm afraid she's not in the best of moods as well." I ran right past him and towards Zip's office. I came up to a corner when I heard yelling.

"Lara just work with me here! You know I can't do this without you and you can't do this without me!" I reconised that voice.

"I said no and for the last time GET OUT!" That was my mother.

"Lara listen to him. You said it yourself this has to do with alchemy, well here's someone who knows everything there is about it!" Zip said.

"I said no. Last time." I heard footsteps. I grabbed my gun. I still didn't know who it was. I'm good with voices but you never know. As the person came around the corner I snapped my gun up. It was Kurtis, just as I thought.

"Are we gonna meet like this everytime now?" He said.

"I don't know. I still don't know you." I said with a straight face.

"What's going on?" My mother came around the corner. "Alexa. You're home quicker than I thought you'd be." I nodded. "Put your gun down." I did as she said.

"We need to talk." I said. Kurtis starting walking away. "ALL of us." I said looking over my shoulder at him. He turned around.
