It had been weeks since Cole's life changed for the better. Brought into a castle, cared for by a family of literal blood-thirsty girls and their equally bloodthirsty 9'6 mother.

Cole couldn't believe that this is what his marking truly meant, to eventually find someone who was also possessed the same marking as him. He had finally found a home that accepted him.

Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters spent most of their time showing Cole around the different homes of the 4 lords, mostly the Castle to help him get a bit more comfortable in the new place he'd be calling home.

The sisters and the maidens had to help Cole to stand and even walk from time to time, since the cold along with his still healing wounds did a number on his ability to move and, he was still getting used to his cybernetic leg. Unsurprisingly, Lady Dimitrescu was most of the time the one who helped- or carried Cole in her arms. Most of the time when Cole could stand, he requested that they let him try to pick himself up, but the lady always said "It's okay dear, spare yourself the pain and let us help." Caring as ever.

Cole couldn't help but blush and smile every time she spoke, her voice was always so soothing, her golden eyes gleaming like the sun, as if someone told Cole she was the very being that hung the stars in the sky.

Well, if someone really did tell him that, he would have believed them without hesitation.

"You really have no idea where he went?" Agent Strahm sternly asked.

"I don't at all know where he could even be." Antonio responded.

"His last know location was your house! Are you seriously telling me you don't know where he is?!" Strahm yelled.

"We're all telling you, we don't got a clue man! Ease up!" Trevor responded in annoyance.

"Are we done here?" River asked.

Strahm eyed the 3 friends with a slight suspicion. Then, the door behind them opened and in walked sheriff Clint Barker and Detective Aaron Halloran, who pulled Strahm away from the interrogation to speak with him about some recent findings that might or might not lead them to Cole's whereabouts.

"We've found some traces of packaging at Antonio's garage, we questioned him where he worked and he said it was at the airport." Barker informed. "We have any idea how big the package was?" Strahm questioned the two of them. "My men are still investigating, Deputy Cratt hasn't reported anything new yet. They did find a spare label during the first investigation that read: "Ship to: Mountain Region Village, Romania." Halloran reported.

Now Strahm began to put the pieces they had together. He knew there was much more to Cole's disappearance than he thought, but could the answers be right in front of him?

"Tell your men to keep searching, there's got to be more to this." Strahm ordered.

Sheriff Barker nodded and left to the file room to find Cole's records for any possible clues, while Halloran left the station to join the investigation at Antonio's house.

Strahm was quite unsure of what the cause of Cole not being sighted was, but had began to suspect that his three friends may have had something to do with.

Whatever it could be, they'd have to expect the unexpected.
