Neteyam sped incredibaly fast under the rain, turning left and right in unknown directions in hope to find A'onung. He really doesn't know where he's going, but his mind was racing with too many thoughts that overtakes him in reality. 

"NETEYAM SLOW THE FUCK DOWN PLEASE!" Lo'ak screams as he holds onto the side door of the car, his body pressed up against the seat like a pancake. Neteyam doesn't listen, he wont listen until he finds out everything on whats going on with Ao'nung. He had enough being silent and letting him suffer on his own like always. like, what type of friend does that huh...

Neteyam came across a huge traffic jam as he tries and reverses back to go in the other street but ends up getting blocked by other cars. 

"Shit," He mumbles as he nags his head hard onto the steering wheel. The only thing you could hear was Lo'ak and Roxtos breathing mixed in with the rain. 

"Please Nete, you have to chill down when your driving, we dont wanna die, i'm still to young i still want my chance with Kiri please," Roxto begs as Lo'ak nods his head fast.

"Same here bro, Tsireya aint finna live without me being in this world," Lo'ak says after him. Neteyam clicks his tounge annoyed as he rolls his eyes, about to complain to the both of them to shut the hell up until Neteyam got a phone call. Lo'ak peered to his side to see who it was when his eyes widen abit, confusion setted in him.

"Ay bro, why the hell is dad calling us when its literally 2:30AM in the fucking morning bro." Neteyam looks at his phone after hearing Lo'aks complain, He answers it immediatley not wanting to get scolded again for not answering his god damn phone. He quickly puts his phone on speaker, turning up the volume more.

"Hi dad," Neteyam says hiding the worry behind him.

"Hello son, hows your trip going," Jake says with abit anger in his voice. Oh shit, Neteyam totally forgot about how he had to go home since there was apparently a weather warning in the state. 

"Uhh-th-the trip is good dad," He lies, head butting himself for his dumb and obvious reply.

"Interesting," Jake mutters. "Listen son, Tonowari, Ronal and Tsireya are at our house right now, they look completely worried because their son is not answering them, is he okay?" 
Neteyam felt his mouth go completely dry, feeling a lump on his throat.

"Y-yes dad he's fine, we're all fine actually," He says as the car became extremely hot out of nowhere. 

"Are you sure Neteyam, why hasn't he been answering his phone then?"

"His phone died and he's sleeping now, dad we have to go please i'll talk to you next time but not right now," He quickly says as the traffic became more and more less, allowing him to speed up once more making Lo'ak hold his breath. 

"No i haven't even finished what i got to say, don't interupt me do you understan-"

"Okay love you dad bye bye," Neteyam says raising his voice abit before ending the call making Lo'ak jaws drop from shock.

"What are you looking at bro," Neteyam asks completely annoyed from all this attention.

"Nothing.. its just, the way how you spoke to dad, you never spoke to him like that..."Lo'ak mumbles quietly but just enough for Neteyam to hear.

"Well i dont give a shit right now Lo'ak," He says as he continues to speed through the rain, making Lo'ak shut his mouth entirely. Out of nowhere, Roxto started to speak up.

"WAIT," He shouts making Neteyam hits the breaks hard, turning to face Roxto along with Lo'ak.

"We are the most dumbest people alive, we have him on snap we can locate where he is," Roxto says as Neteyams eyes lit up, grabbing his phone unlocking his phone and entering Snapchat. Roxto was right, Ao'nungs location wasn't far away from them, probably around 5 minutes to get to him. Neteyam was about to start driving when Roxto spoke up again.

"Hey bro lemme drive this time, i swear we're about to die just like Lo'ak predicted."

Neteyam sighs loudly, getting out of the car aswell as Roxto switching their seats.

"Okay just drive quickly," Neteyam says while hitting the drivers chair abit for Roxto to start going. The car was deadly silenced as they wait for the minutes to die down. Finally, they made it to the spot they were trying to find, getting out of the car as the rain soaks them once again.

"Please tell me you got an umbrella bro," Lo'ak snickers, trying to atleast lighten the mood as Neteyam ignored him once again, making Lo'ak falter his smile, an aching feeling in his heart. 

"I think he's over there somewhere," Roxto points out to an alleyway which made Lo'ak gulp loudly, shaking his head.

"Nah uh, hell no, no fucking way am i gonna go in that shit," Lo'ak complains as Neteyam pinches the bridge of his nose.

"Okay if you dont want to come then just fuck off Lo'ak seriously," Neteyam says glaring at Lo'ak.

"Why are you so angry at me bro, i'm just saying i dont want to-'

"OKAY SO FUCK OFF!" Neteyam shouts raising his hands making Lo'ak flinch abit. Lo'ak has never seen his brother this mad before which kinda made him upset for acting like this towards him.

" Okay guys nows not the time, lets just find Ao please," Roxto interupts as Neteyam walks into the alleyways."

"Yeah thanks Roxto for helping," Neteyam says as they both leave Lo'ak behind. Roxto felt bad as he looks back giving him an apologetic look. Lo'ak scoffs, kicking the rock from the floor. He hates when Neteyam acts like this, especially towards him. Lo'ak didn't do anything wrong, he was just saying he's gonna stay back just incase. He hates how Neteyam is always stressed over things but lets it all out to one person, which was him. He wants to help but can't at the same time....

Atleast he was trying right....

Neteyam and Roxto walked around the dark alleyway, the smell of wet rain and mud mixed together spreads around them.

"Hey Teyam, don't you think you were a little harsh on Lo'ak," Roxto asks as his head was facing the floor. Neteyam didn't answer him, just simply rasing both shoulders up abit then slumping them back down. Roxto sighs as he continues to look for Ao'nung. It suprisingly didn't take them long until Roxto saw something, or like a body on the floor in the distance, the fog making it blurry for them to see properly.

"Hey Neteyam, you see that," Roxto points out as Neteyam gaze follows it. 

"Should we check it out," He asks him and Neteyam nods his head.

"Just be careful," Neteyam finally says as they walk closer to the body. Once they were near it, they could see abit blood apreaded onto the ground with what looks like an unconcious body on the floor. Roxto turned his flashlight on when they both gasped, sucking in the air harshly.

"Ao'nung?.?.?.?."
