looking out the window you should see it was far past midnight ,yet the sun was far from being in sight letting the full moon shine down as the light snow clouds drifted in the wind covering the stars above, the moon's light shined through the open window, the curtains dancing in the wind as they played with the shadows below, the room was dimly lightened by the screen of the computer quick clicks against the keyboard emitting from the hands of a hard working person rang through out the living room. From the pace you could tell they were focused. A hand reached across the white wall and flicked the light switch on illuminating the room
"What's keeping you up so-late" Kurapica yawned and stretched
Cake took a spin on the black office chair facing the blond boy
"Determination" jumping of the chair she grabbed her laptop and walked to the table behind placing it neatly on the brown table
"Look here on the map is the last location Gon's GPS was found at could tell us many things. For example with just that i can tell the direction they were going, the location they were headed. Ill explain it better to you when were all present, Leorio got a call from his school saying that if he missed another day of class they would kick him out he told me to in form him if anything at all happens "
she stretched and took a glace at his pondering expression
"Hmm i see. So what would the precise location be at"
Cake looked at the map lied out on the counter thinking thoroughly
"I cant say exactly where it would be specifically but I'm estimating it would be in this run down little town"
"Wait. Would they have to be wealthy ?" "Yeah but this kind of trafficking is illegal. They'll need a place to hide there loot maybe under ground or in a hidden place somewhere. What better place than this run down town not many police around and its so fun down they wont inspect some one yelling cause it's not that uncommon "
"Not to mention the high murder rates they would be as alerted for the corpse to lay out in the open" he continued
"I never thought of that" she yawned and stretched "well I'm going to bed good night "
"Oh yeah good night"
Cake excused her self to the bed in the corner of the room she pushed Killua off the bed and took over the bed Killua not moving from the uncomfortable position on the floor
Daybreak soon came and everything started to look lively. They packed and jumped into the car driving off to the freeway
"We leave at exit A15" cake sat back down in her seat disappointingly leaving the driving to Kurapica. Killua has been quiet this whole morning barley a word out of him
"Hey killua you wanna play cards" she puled cards out of her sleeve
"Um okay" he reluctantly answered
It was a long ride, Kurapica was looking at the road now stuck in traffic while Killua was being mesmerized by the card tricks cake was doing
"You put the card under the real one and then put the fake one inside the stack, then say 'is this your card' and take the real card of the top and show it to them" she handed him the cards
"Were here i just got out the freeway now where do i go"
"Park the car on a busy road where were going is known for crime we don't want the car stolen"
Kurapica parked the car they steeped out hastily and ventured thought the streets. At first the buildings looked quite well but as they advanced the streets began to look more run down and not soon after painted in graffiti it reeked like old urine and feces, filthy dogs walked across the streets mostly only skin and bones, so skinny that you could be sure if the dog got hit by a car you could see the thin bones broken, not that any of them wanted that.
As they continued they found many drunken homeless old drunken people that they're breath reeked from alcohol when they asked them, only to end up with incoherent answers. They were starting to doubt that they would find anything about him here.
Out in the other side of the street a figure began to approach them dragging its feet across the rough concrete long brown hair covered its face it looked up its eyes were hollow almost like a void. The legs stumbled and the body fell. They rushed to help, cake turned it over to discover
"Its a girl" she moved the long matted mop of dirty hair away from her face revealing her hidden features
"Lets take her back to the hotel" Kurapica carried her bridal style all the way back to the car and into the back seat with cake killua now in the front passenger seat. At the hotel they lied her down on the couch and in inspected her thoroughly. She wore a white raged sun dress that didn't even resemble the color white, her skin was dirty with mud and filth from the streets, her feet were way worse, the soles of her feet were scattered with scars from old to fresh enough to still be spilling blood.
She scrunched her her face as she peeked open her amber colored eyes, she looks around, she didn't know these people but they looked nice
"Where am i" her voice was just above a whisper
"You're in our hotel, I'm kurapica, this person to my left is killua and to my right is cake, whats your name"
"My...name?" She thought for a moment as she pulled herself to a sitting position "they called me 43 back over there"
"43? You have to have a name" cake added emphasis with her hands
"That is my name" she looked at them starting to feel insecure
"You don't have a real name cause that's a number not a name" she stated
"Fine then there is a name i can remember was Flores "
"Alright then Flores you need to get out of those clothes. You can take a shower and clean your hair ill let you borrow some of my clothes" she dragged her into the bathroom to get washed.
About thirty minutes later they came out Flores in fresh clothes and dry hair her pale skin came out to show its self from the curtail of filth that has disappeared. Killua was at the table eating some macaroni and cheese. Flore's stomach rumbled as we sat down, as soon as the plate was in her sight she began to swallow it down whole. As soon as she finished she lied down to rest.
They washed the dishes and walked over to Flores
"Have you by any chance seen a spiky haired boy"
No but back where was, a horrible place i barley manged escaping my self, i had to wait days on end just to get away but i think i have some things that might help" she reached into the pocket of her sundress taking out multiple papers all which were neatly folded "right here i have a map of the place and location, i overheard them saying something about bring in the winter auction prize. I only heard that they had a picture but i couldn't get close enough without risking the chance of getting caught " she opened up the map "here is where they keep us its dark. You cant hear anything from out side. " she was having a hard time trying to forget the horrible things he did to her. She snapped out of her thoughts as she finished her sentence "well thank you for everything but i have to get going. Its been eleven years i wonder if they still remember my name" she stood they gave her a back pack full of necessitates and a bit of cash before she left walking down the streets.
