A Dragon's Crimson Cry

AN I got tired of typing out Loa Shi's full name so later on on he'll either be Loa or LS.

Ch 5 Grandfather vs. Detective

~Long residence~

Detective Mick was talking to all the neighbors in hopes to find out anything more to the case but they knew little. The only neighbor that had any information was limited.

This was the one who had called to police. He was putting out the trash and saw Jake as he was coming home. He called the police no more than a few minutes later saying he saw a stranger climbing out a window of the house with what looked like a weapon. The only problem was he only saw an outline of the suspect and his discretion was a bit questionable.

Mick just looked at his notes again giving a sigh. He looked out at the crowd that had failed to leave as they hung around just behind the yellow tape. And nobody was hanging closer to the tape or was being more annoying then the news reporters.

The bunch of vultures that's what they were. Mick knew that they already stopped the presses to put a new headline and article in the papers in time for the morning edition. And no doubt the morning news on all channels were going to do everything to get it out to the public first. Mick dreaded the thought of what was going to happen once they found the hospital the kid was being held at. Just what the boy needed a bunch of annoying reporters trying to get him to relive the worst day of his life.

Mick's train of thought was interrupted by a yelling in a different language. Mick watched as one person after another was pushed out of the way. I was slightly funny as the one pushing his way to the front was a very short, old, Asian man barley one third the size of some of the people he pushed aside. The man paid no mind to the tape and went right under it into the crime scene.

The other officers on the scene who been holding the crowd back went to the old man to stop him but it seemed it wasn't going to well. So Mick went to see what he could do to help.

~Loa Shi~

It had been a long day for Loa Shi. He had been called to Draco Island along with many other high ranking dragons to discuss an odd matter. It seemed the hunts clan was acting weird. The clan was rather active all around the world and was going after oracles. Oracles were not their common prey rising questions the conical had no answers to. In fact none of the dragons summoned had and answer to give all they could do was theorize.

Loa Shi now sat in the back seat of a cab on his way to his daughter's house to take care of some family matters before returning home to rest and hoping it was still in one piece with Fu minding the place.

The cab came to a sudden early stop.

"What's going on" LS asked as the driver and he looked out the window.

"Seems to be a crowd blocking most of the street" the driver said.

"I ya" LS said "No matter I can walk from here." LS handed the driver the money getting out of the car.

He noticed the crowd seemed to be surrounding Susan's house. A feeling of dread filled the man's entire body. He pushed and yelled his way to the front to have his fear conformed.

He ignored the tape and marched pass it to get some answers.

Once there he was stopped by two officers who tried to get him back behind the tape but he wouldn't be moved.

"Sir, you must stay behind the tape." One officer said.

"Only investigators are allowed beyond this point" another said.

"I don't care I demand to know what has happened here" LS yelled.

"What's the matter" Mick said coming up to the three.

"I demand to be told what has happened here" LS once again stated.

"I'm sorry but we're not releasing any information at this time" Mick answered.

"I must know what happened my daughter and entire family was supposed to be here" LS said.

"Wait you're related to the residence of the house" Mick asked.

"Yes" LS answered.

Mick had no choice but to tell the man the sad news and have him head to the precinct to answer some questions.

~Long house (Ellen and Lee) ~

"So what are you doing here" Ellen asked her partner.

"Just follow" Lee answered.

"Hey, Lee, Ellen" Mick yelled to the two as the entered the area. "You're not going to believe this but some guy showed up who happens to be the kid's grandfather" Mick said walking up to them.

"And where is he now" Ellen asked.

"I sent him to the precinct but I don't think we can keep him away from his grandson long" Mick said crossing his arms. "He was rather determined to see him."

"Well, you can take him to the hospital but keep him from seeing the boy for a bit longer" Lee said.

"Why" Ellen asked.

"When you put a family member into the mix it can change everything and I'd like to try to get the kid to talk before we resort to family, since we don't know if it will be a positive or negative effect" Lee explained then went on into the house shortly followed by a clueless Ellen.

Lee had gone straight upstairs and into the boy's room. He looked around and started pulling things from their place and dumping them on the bed till he looked in the closet and found a duffel bag. He put the bag on the bed and put the things he grabbed in it along with new things he was grabbing.

"What are you doing" Ellen said looking at some items he placed in the bag.

"I figured all these things have some connection to the kid. If we have one thing he really cares about he'll have to come back to reality to get it" Lee said zipping up the bag full of video games, books, tapes, photos, a skateboard, and stuff animals.

"Maybe I should have been a bit more selective, this things heavy" Lee said heaving the bag out the door.

A/N This may get confusing later on if it isn't already so any questions just ask. Review
