Chapter 4: Blessings

Kai sat in his office, going over the written statements from Nya's friends when he got a call on his cell from Cole and picked up. "Any useful news or should I start deciding on what gun I should use?" Kai said when he picked up.

"Hello to you to." Cole replied on the other cell. "Get to the point Hence." Kai responded with a growl as he glared at a picture of him and Nya from back in their hometown.

"Well, I talked to my guys and Jacob Jones was supposed to watch Nya that night." Cole said and Kai seemed to think. "Wait, isn't Jacob Jones the one that like never needs backup because he's like a mini bull elephant?" Kai asked.

"Yeah, he is, but Marley found him dead in an ally on West Street. Right across from the bus station." Cole told him and Kai rubbed a hand over his face. "Fuck! Whoever took Nya must have killed him." Kai said then froze. "Wait, you know what this means, don't you?" He asked as he sat up straight in his chair.

"No, but I also have a bit of a hangover right now." Cole said with a slight groan of pain on his side. "Dude, whoever did this must be in your ranks Cole. Either that or you have a leak. Only me, you, and your guys should have known he was even there to protect her." Kai said as he threw his pen which pierced the wall and stayed there.

Cole groaned on his side and Kai could hear him punching something that sounded like it broke. "FUCK!" Cole shouted on his end. "I'm gonna have to do a complete purge for the leak!" Shouted the club owner.

"Don't worry Kai, I'll figure out who did this and call you for his execution. I figure you should have the honor." Cole said after calming down. "Don't worry, I trust ya man, but if this takes to long I'm taking you out." Kai replied and Cole gulped. "I won't let you down." Cole replied before hanging up.

Kai then looked to his photos of Nya and frowned just as a knock sounded on his office door and he looked up to see Lloyd.  "Kai? Are you okay? I came to drop off some fried chicken from that place you like so much and overheard some of the other officers talking. They said something about your sister missing?" Lloyd said in concern as he set the fast food bag on Kai's desk.

"I... I'll be alright. My little sister, Nya... She was staying with me while attending NU and.... And..." Kai paused to run his hand through his hair and grip it. "She's been abducted and we can't figure out by who." He finished and Lloyd gasped. Lloyd came around the desk and threw himself into Kai's lap to hug the elder male. "I am so sorry Kai." He said while Kai sat there in shock before hugging back. "Thanks Lloyd, but you need to get up and out of my lap before one of my coworkers takes this the wrong way." Kai said and Lloyd stood up. "Can I stay at your apartment tonight?" Lloyd asked as he took a seat on the couch in the room. "Why?" Kai asked as he got up to retrieve his pen from the wall.

"Because you shouldn't be alone right now Kai. I want to be there with you." Lloyd answered and Kai gave him a look. "Hey, I know, I know. You're a big boy and all that, but Kai... Your sister was just kidnapped and it hasn't been long since someone took mom. I know close you are with my folks. You really shouldn't be alone right now. I would ask you to stay at the mansion, but I know how you are about all the white walls." Lloyd went on and Kai sighed. "Fine, you can stay with me as long as you want, your always welcome at my place. You know that." Kai said with a greatful smile.

"Besides, it wouldn't be the wrong idea." Lloyd said as he leaned forward and gave Kai a suggestive look. Kai simply gave Lloyd a warning look. "Lloyd, you aren't even eighteen." He said in a stern tone and Lloyd smirked. "So, my age is only problem? My birthday is next year, I'm seventeen now, the law says that at sixteen all you'd need is at least one of my parents blessing, and my folks love you, I'd say it's all in the bag. All you need is to say yes Kai." Lloyd said and Kai rolled his eyes. "Remind me to lock my bedroom door tonight." Kai said as he pulled some paperwork out of his desk drawer.
