"Please tell me I'm hallucinating," Issac asked Brystal, "That there isn't a six year old something kid right in front of us."

"You're not hallucinating," Brystal answered.

The kid cocked an eyebrow at the two watching them as they slowly got up. He had never seen these two people around before once in his life. Maybe they were new or maybe he hadn't)t ever noticed him.

They honestly looked liked they'd gone down the tunnel twice. He'd been through that tunnel a few time, but he didn't look like he tumbled down the sid of a hill. He couldn't help, but seem to wonder about the two.

"I have never seen you two around before," The kid smiled at them, "Mostly I just see Big guy, Viper, Ardya.....and mostly Arik." 

Brystal felt herself completely froze up, her breath catching in her throat. Dread crept into her mind as a memory came back from not too long ago. A new horror that had been kept secret from even the Federation



"Some of these kids are from recreations which could be dangerous if Arik wants to examine them or to perfect them in the future," Jason had told her.



This could be one of the kids he was talking about. Examining the kid to see if he could fit into these categories. He fit one that was for sure........the fact he'd been around Arik more frequently than other people.

As Issac and Brystal got up from the floor, her mind only kept repeating Jason's words. Like a constant reminder to her there could be more of these kids somewhere. But where could they even be in a building with a labyrinth of mazes?

"Who are you guys? Are you scavengers? Businessmen? Spice traders?" The kid inquired, "Maybe even assassins?"

"Far away from that," Issac fixed his coat, looking over at Brystal, "Something on your mind?"

"You two must be very good acquaintances to know each other very well," The kid's face then turned quizzical, "Why are you here then? If you're not any of those titles?"

"We are looking for something," Brystal answered, looking to Issac in a whisper, "Just remembered something someone said to me once a while ago."

"Maybe I could help you then. Arik said any guest of his is a guest of mine. I'm supposed to make people looking for him or notable expensive items he could make bargains with?"

Issac and Brystal shared a look. Not every six year old kid use big words such as notable or acquaintances, even Issac would've known that from his children. Something was definitely off with this kids brain and his knowledge unlike regular six year olds. 

Then there was the hint of doubt in the back of their minds. Knowing this kid could inevitably be a bit too loyal to Arik, lead them into a trap. Even kids had tricks up their sleeves, so Issac decided to ask him the real question.
