Desire in Shadows

Dark times

<Two days later> 

Alpha was with Gamma as the numbers returned from a mission involving the trains the dollars bills were on. 

664: And that is our report.

Alpha held her chin and thought of the report. 

Alpha: John Smith and the stolen driver all in one place. The Driver is one thing I can understand but John Smith... 

Gamma: It can't be a coincidence.  I never heard of John Smith , perhaps he was one of the Named Children. 

666: John's Smith Skill is leagues above even the most skilled of fighters! 

664 reacted to the sudden outburst. The two looked at her as she spoke. 

666: It was like he predicted our each and every move! 

664: Hey! You can't do that! 

She tried to stop her but she resisted. 

666: He's as good as the Seven Shadows! His power is equal to yours! 

664 covered her mouth.

664: I said be quiet! 

As the two dragged her out of the throne room, Alpha looked back at the throne .

Alpha: Still no word from Lord Cross? 

Gamma: No... he hasn't sent word of anything yet. 

Alpha: I see...send Delta to hunt for him. I know he will be upset but... 

< At night> 

Delta was running through the fields, she was at high speed following the trains tracks that go to and from the Lawless City.

Delta: Boss is this way! 

She sped up , when then stopped all of a sudden. She sniffed the air around her and looked to her right. 

Delta: Boss is ...this way? 

She hurried over , her eyes widened to find his Helmet. She picked it up , she was trembling thinking of the worse . 

Delta: B-Bosses hat... 

She looked around and tried to sniff for him, but couldn't . She took the helmet and hurried off to report what she found. 

Alpha was in Adam's room, she looked at the empty chair . 

Alpha: Lord Cross....

Gamma came bursting in. 

Gamma: Lady Alpha! 

She turned to find Gamma with tears in her eyes, she then sees Delta walking in holding Crosses Damaged Helmet. Alpha's eyes widened in shock at what she saw. Delta handed her the helmet. 

Delta: Delta.. couldn't find Boss anywhere.

She begun to cry, Gamma consoled her as Alpha held the Helmet close to her.

Alpha: Lord Cross.... Delta where was this located? 

Gamma: She found it ... by the Lawless City. 

Alpha: The same area that the train John Smith and That faker is on... 

Alpha's magic flared up , it cracked the windows in his room. 

Alpha: I'll take care of this myself. 

< The Middle of the following Day> 

As the snow continued to fall, Someone laid on the ground unconscious of the world around him.
