Hallo again. I did not plan to update so soon, but when you have two canceled classes and nothing to do… You get the picture. First I wanted to thank BlueDreamer31 and Tahira for your reviews. Thank you so much. Tahira, you were right, but you know that. Let us see if Vicky rescues her, and yes he is very, very handsome. :D

I have a little job for you if you are up for it. What name is Diana known as in the Soulfinder books? X(

There was a picture of a girl who could not be more than 16. Her blonde hair and blue eyes was somehow familiar. Where had I seen her before? Who was she? Shaking I called the one number I had wished would call me. Victor… Then it hit me who the girl was. Diana, daughter of Franny and Ian. But Victor did not pick up… Why did he not pick up? Diana, it had been so long – too long. But what should I do? How could I both save Diana, little, sweet, innocent Diana from a faith worse than death? And yet still make sure I did not end in their hands...? I sat down and thought about it for a while well-knowing that the longer she stayed in their hands, the harder it would be to get her away from them again. I still could not believe that Diana was alive… I thought that she died along with her parents… It was what I was told by Dimitri. Who would go through Hell for me? Who would die for me? And with that, I knew just who to call.

James was here in less than an hour. I was surprised it took him that long to be honest. I knew it was not fair to play with James like that, but he was the only one who could tell me if the picture was real or fake. I handed him the picture so he could do his thing. James was like me a savant with a unique ability. His ability was to sense truth and lies. He told me once; he could taste a lie at the tip of his tongue. Truth was harder, because it involved also what people saw as the truth. But I believe – and so did he – that he could tell if it was really Diana in the picture.

"It is her though she has a new name. I could not tell what it was though." James said tired. Having an ability like his drains one. I should know since my ability is literality to feel the pain of other´s which pretty most sucks. I felt James´ pain and could even feel the pain of the people walking outside my flat.

"James, you can sleep on the couch, okay?" I said feeling tired too myself. James fell asleep within seconds of hearing what I said.

Knock, knock, knock. What?! I was sleeping. It better be bloody important.

"WHAT?!" I kind of yelled.

"Drue, it is Victor." Victor said a bit shocked at my outburst.

"What do you want? And it better be bloody important… The clock is not even 4 pm so it is still napping time."

"4 pm.? Napping time? Sure, we can say that. Can I talk to you about something?" Victor asked. I looked at him and answered: "Is it important?"
"Kind of."

"Well, then it can wait. Goodnight." I said and started to close door when Victor put a foot inside the flat.

"What do you want?"

"To talk."

"Sure, you can talk, and I can sleep." I said and let him into the flat. When he saw James sleeping on the couch, he stopped and said: "What is he doing here?"

"He was tired after helping me so I let him stay over. Why?"

"No reason."

"Bullshit."

"You are right. It is bullshit." he said and kissed me. That woke me up since it was a hell of a kiss.

"Thank you. I needed that." I said after the kiss ended. Victor kissed my forehead and said: "So did I." I took his hand in my and let him into my bedroom so we did not wake the sleeping James. I also knew that the picture of Diana was safe inside the living room where Victor could not see it. It just felt wrong to use him with my problems. God knows I had a lot of them.

"So what did you want to talk about?" I said as I sat down on my king size bed.

"Well, I do not remember anymore."

"You do not? Did you even have something you wanted to tell me?"

"I did. I need your help to find a missing person."

"That is not one of my abilities, sorry. I can do a lot of things, but locating missing people is not one of them. I am sorry."

"Sure? Could you try if I gave you something of hers? Could you locate her through her pain, maybe?"

"My ability does not work like that, but if you took me to the last place she was seen… maybe and just maybe I could follow the breadcrumbs the pain of the person left? It sounds weird, but it may work. It is worth a try, right?"

Victor let me to a forest near a big house. There were a lot of people in the forest and in the nearby areas.

"I am sorry, but it… it cannot work. Not with this many people nearby – their pain is a lot stronger than the breadcrumbs." I said and turned around to walk back to the car.

"Wait." A grown man age 25-28 yelled after me. "What if they were not there? Could you find her then?"

"I cannot give any promises. If there are any breadcrumbs, I will find them and follow them as far as humanly possible."

"They will be gone in less than 10 minutes."

10 minutes later.

"Is that better?" the man asked.

"Yes, there are still a lot people out there. 15… 17 people out there."

"Impressing."

"Not really. Now be still, I have work to do." I said and looked for the breadcrumbs which contained the pain from the now missing person… girl age 16-17.

"How long has she been missing?" I asked.

"7 hours." the man said, and the pain hit me. I said: "You better go; this is going to be ugly." The pain was killing me. Turning my insides out. Burning like I was being burned with a 4 degree burning. But she was still alive that most I knew…
