Ali punched the wall, "Wyan! It's been two days!"

"Ali," Wyan cut in, "We don't know what James has done. For all we know Nicholas is fine."

"He was taken by James Kingman! Why would James stop Nikolas from being hurt?" Ali asked. He was shaking his fist.

Wyan simply grabbed his hand and grabbed some bandages to wrap around it. "Ali, you breaking your hand isn't going to help Nicholas. Now, I can't say what James has done. I don't know. But if Nicholas found out about that." Wyan said and gestured to his hand, "Would he be happy with this?"

Ali stared "No. He would try and take the pain away."

Wyan nodded "There we go."

"But," Ali cut in, "We need to find Nikolas now. We don't know what James has done to him." Ali explained.

Su-Han randomly came barging in, "I think I know where your son is."

Meanwhile, in the woods. James was training Griffon.

"Flip around the man." James said into the earpiece.

Nikolas grunted and flipped around a man five times bigger than him.

"Good, now trap his arm, flip him around and onto the ground." James smirked.

Nikolas copied his orders and the man he was fighting grunted loudly as he was forced onto his back.

Nikolas stood up straighter and his white covered eyes stared at the ground.

"Well done Nikolas." James smiled. His eyes had a psychotic look.

Nikolas simply stood still.

James smirked. "Nikolas, who are you training to trap?"

"Ali Lahiffe." Nikolas said. His eyes staring plainly ahead.

James smiled wider. "Well done."

"Sir, is this a good idea? Ali won't hold back if this is his son." The man said and stood up straight.

"Now you see, this is why I brainwashed this boy." James said and placed a hand under Nikolas's chin and lifted his head up gently, "He says what I want him to say and he does what I say. He has no control or conscious really. He can't say no to me." James smirked. "He'll fight Ali and then Ali will surrender. No father attacks their son."

The man nodded "Okay sir." He left the room as James began training Nikolas again.

Suddenly there was an explosion and the ceiling collapsed.

Someone grabbed the man and held him back.

"Where is my son?" Ali's voice growled out.

The man pointed to the other room.

He was instantly released but shoved into the other wall.

Ali threw the doors open seeing nothing. He pulled out his boomerangs and slowly walked in. Preparing himself.

Suddenly the doors closed.

Ali looked back only to see James there.

"Hello Ali. About time as well." James smirked and started using his watch. Making beeping noises.

Ali held his daggers high until a punch knocked him to the ground. He glanced up and saw Nikolas standing there instead.

"Son?" Ali gasped and Nikolas glanced at him.

His eyes were white. There was no hazel or pupil. Just white.

"You see Ali," James smirked "While you were looking for Nicholas, I was training him. And when I brainwashed him, my god Ali, his screaming." James said and mock scaredness. "So much screaming."
