"Where the fuck did that bear came from?"

"Okay, Alex, I can explain but I need you to-"

"Oh don't you dare try to tell me to calm down, I'm a fucking policeman Magus and I know a liar when I see one" Alex said fuming.

As soon as they got back to their room, Magus was trying to calm Alex down before he tears down the entire forest looking for the person left the bear in the girl's room. As much as Magus wanted to look for the asshole as well, he wanted to rationalize and explain the situation to Thea's brother first.

"Alright man, My bad but what I'm trying to tell you is that, I have been noticing someone giving Thea these-"

"You mean to say that this has happened before?" Alex was starting to shake in anger. "Fuck this!"

He stood up and was about to go out of the room when Magus stopped him.

"I don't think scaring Thea would be the best option right now"

Alex stopped upon hearing the name of his sister. As much as he wants that disgusting sick bastard taken down, Magus was right. He calmed himself down and brushed his hair a couple of times and took deep breaths.

"Okay, I'm calm and better" Alex said. "Now talk Wilson"

Magus rolled his eyes at his rudeness before speaking. "Have you noticed some plushies or stuffed toys or any other gifts that Thea received?"

"Yeah, she receives tons of them from the kids at the day care, Mrs. White brings it to her every Friday Afteroon, what about them?"

"Someone gives them to her?" Magus asked.

"Yes, but what does that have to do with anyth-"

"She received a bunch of plushies last time but it was just by the door"

"What?" Alex said, baffled about the situation.

"I helped her bring the box and when she opened it, it was full of plushies but there was something weird about them" Magus paused for a bit. "..Somewhere around the eyes"

Alex stayed silent as well. He knows that the children from the day care are really sweet but the kids give Thea something that they handmade and not something that they bought from a store. Sometimes they would even throw in some drawings and letters for her and she would always brag it to him.

Magus suddenly stood up from his bed making Alex look up at him and got all his senses alert.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked.

"What kind of plushies does the kids usually give thea?"

Alex scrunched his eyebrows. "Usually handmade ones, why'd you-"

"Fuck!"

Magus bolted out of the room with Alex in tow. They stomped towards the girl's room and didn't even bother knocking. Thea was still playing with the bear on her bed while Elysian was doing her nails on her bed.

"Hey! Ever heard of knockin-"

"Not now Elysian" Magus didn't want to snap at his sister but he couldn't help it.

Elysian stood up and went closer to them. Her brother never really called her by her name unless it's something serious or he's angry at her as for this case, she's pretty sure it's the prior. She was about to speak to her brother when Magus walked past her and went to Thea.

"What's wrong?" Elysian asked Alex who was carefully watching the two.

Alex glanced at her before looking back. "It's nothing"
