This day just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?
It feels as though all of hell is about to break loose. First Mimi, then the Essentia suit, and now Shauna. Why the hell are we losing everything?! Groaning, I turn to Calem, hoping he's got some brilliant plan that has no chance of failing.
Instead, I see him throw his usual blue jacket on. "Let's head to the Pokemon Center."
"I'm coming too." Emma said.
.:oOo:. .:oOo:. .:oOo:.
We ran the entire way to the Pokemon Center. Trevor and Tierno are sitting on the bench with some minor bruises and cuts.
Calem walked straight towards them, with me walking next to the him. Along with Emma trailing behind the two of us.
"Are you two okay?" Calem asked the boys.
They both silently nodded.
"Can you tell us about the ones who attacked you?"
I asked.
"They were dressed in red and black and they were all wearing masks so we couldn't make out their faces." Trevor answered. "They just jumped on us and I think they were only after Shauna. They didn't bother coming after us. They grabbed her and made a run for it."
"We tried going after them, but once they ran into the city, we lost them." Tierno continued. "There was four of them."
"Let's get these two back to the Looker Bureau. The ones who attacked them may still be around." I said cautiously, while looking around the Pokemon Center. "I'd rather we spoke in private."
We took the taxi back to the Looker Bureau. Emma and I helped the two inside. I ran back to the kitchen to grab some food and drinks for the boys. Once we were all settled, we tried to figure things out.
I couldn't help but wonder if Mimi, the Essentia suit, and Shauna being missing we're all related or not. And if they were, who could've done it. We have nothing to work on.
"Hey Rena, do you think that maybe Team Flare is back? I mean who else could have done this?" Calem asked.
"Well, if they took Mimi, they probably took her to get Emma out of the house so they could steal the Essentia suit." I took a deep breath before continuing, "and if it was them who took Shauna. They might just put Shauna in the suit."
We sat there in silence for several minutes before I spoke up again. "But, there's no possible way for them to know that Emma had the suit. And why would they take Shauna of all people? It doesn't make any sense!"
"Is there anyone in town who knows about Essentia?" Calem asked.
"No, I mean the only person who might is Lysandre. But he's locked up in Lumiose's prison. And that is almost impossible to get out of." I answered.
"Almost?"
"The last time anyone got out was around 20-30 years ago and they caught the guy two weeks later. So I don't think he'll escape. Plus, his sentence is for life." I replied. There's no possible way to get out from the inside. He'll never be able to escape.
"Then what do you propose we do? Sit around, waiting for whoever the hell it is to take something else?!" Calem's voice rose with every word.
"We have to find out what they're after before can catch them!" I replied angrily. "We don't know what we're up against! We have no choice!"
"But we have to do something!"
"We need to think this through! We can't just dive straight in! It could be a trap!"
"We can't afford to waste time! We could be next for all we know!"
"Guys, calm down! Yelling at each other won't get anywhere." Trevor interrupted. "Let's just relax for the rest of the day. Tierno, Emma, and I can go out in a while to see if anybody saw the people who attacked us earlier. I want the two of you to calm down."
"We can't do anything with our two best fighters fighting with each other." Tierno added with a small smile.
.:oOo:. .:oOo:. .:oOo:.
Trevor, Tierno, and Emma left minutes ago and Calem and I still haven't said a word to each other.
Words cannot describe how bad I feel about yelling at him like that. But I couldn't bring myself to apologize first. And I wasn't going to apologize first. He may have been right about not being able to waste time but we can't afford to walk into a trap either. We have to figure this out rationally. As Calem said earlier, we could be next. But we're an easy target if we have no plan.
After some thinking, I thought it might be best if we checked around Lysandre Cafe and research lab. I mean no one should be there but, if there is they could be our ticket to finding Shauna, Mimi and the Essentia suit. If anyone is hiding out there, they can't catch us or else we're completely and utterly screwed.
Hours past before the three returned. They didn't find anything on Shauna's kidnappers. The lady at the city's entrance didn't even see anyone bring in a girl with Shauna's description.
It's as if they disappeared the moment they entered the city.
Damn I should've updated this awhile ago. I wanted to earlier but I forgot... I was about to rewrite this and I probably still will. Here's an update for my three reviewers (I didn't get emails for them... weird...) and the person who messaged me on dA whose username I forgot. :'D
