The sun was setting in the kingdom, marking the end of the day for most people but the day was just beginning for Bret, Hunter, Brian, and Jack. The four of them sat around a round table. Maps cover the table as each person looked for a spot that would match Brian's dream description. Like Jack had said before, most streams had towns built around them so this made it harder to find a stream with an open clearing.

Brian grabbed the back of his head. Randy had told Brian that he had suffered a very light concussion from the fall and because of that he would headaches periodically.

"You OK?" Hunter asked as he rubbed Brian's shoulder. Brian looked at him and smiled.

"I'm OK. I would be perfect if we found Shawn." Brian said and then looked at Jack. "Jackie, are you sure these are up to date maps?"

"Yes, they all are between one to two months old and I don't call me Jackie." Jack said to his friend.

"Dolph calls you Jackie." Brian says.

"Dolph is my boyfriend." Jack retorts and Brian chuckles slightly.

Bret crumpled up a map and threw it to the side. Something wasn't right. All of these maps showed towns around the streams, lakes, rivers, and all other water body types. Either these maps were old, or he was missing something.

"I think we're missing something." Jack says aloud, as if he was reading Bret's mind. "Because these maps are virtually new."

"I agree." Bret said as he ponders his thoughts. "But what?"

"I wish I could remember more of that dream I had." Brian says. "If I can remember the address on the house then we'll no what direction to go in."

Hunter was about to speak but the door to the room opened. The four people looked over and saw Dolph standing in the doorway with the cordless palace phone in his hand.

"What's up Dolph?" Brian asks.

"The general has a phone call."

"I'm busy." Bret calls out.

"They says it's very urgent…like a matter of life or death." Dolph repeats as he was told if Bret tried not to take the call. Bret sighed and got up. He took the phone from Dolph.

"This better be good." Bret says into the phone.

"Sir, This is Private Riley from the St. Arthelais military base."

"Yes." Bret says, he was getting impatience.

"Yes sir, you see sir I was cleaning out the stream behind the base and I found a bottle with a note in it…the note was written by your late husband, Shawn."

"What!" Bret yelled.

"Yes sir. We believe he must of written it before he died and that his remains may be somewhere in the woods to the east of the base."

"You won't find his remains. You'll find him alive." Bret said.

"Sir?"

"I'll explain it to you later." Bret said. "I'll be at the base as soon as I can. Tell your commanding officer I'm on my way. I want you and that officer to meet me when I'm there. Keep that note safe."

"Yes Sir!"

Bret hung up the phone and looked at the three sitting at the table. "Let's go."

"What?" Hunter asked.

"Where?" Brian asked.

"St. Arthelais military based called." Bret started. "They found a note from Shawn, they believe they know his location so come on!"

Bret rushed out of the door followed by Jack, Brian, and Hunter.

"Dolph, hold everything down while we're gone." Hunter said. "If some asks for us just make up a lie." Hunter told Dolph and Dolph gave him a nod. Hunter ran to catch up Bret.

"St. Arthelais?" Hunter questioned.

"It's a top secret military base. It's where our spies and special ops are trained and other secrets are kept…no King has known about it until now."

"St. Arthelais and the area around it is not on any map." Bret said as he cursed himself in his mind. He should have thought about this in the beginning. "Damn, I'm stupid."

"No, you did all the right things." Hunter said as they walked into the garage and hopped into one of the cars.

Bret turned around and looked at everyone. Jack was sitting in the passenger's seat while Hunter and Brian sat in the back. "Everyone in?" They all said yes. "Buckle up." Bret turned back around and started to car and put in to gear. "Because I'm not stopping for a damn thing." Bret said as he sped out of the garage. His only thought was about saving Shawn.

A/N: So St. Arthelais is the Christian patron saint of kidnap victims. I thought it was fitting to name the military base after her(I believe St. Arthelais is female)
