LAYLA PLACED HER HANDS ON HER BELT BUCKLE AFTER KNOCKING THE DOOR.

The door opened revealing the woman who had contacted her and Nolan.

"Oh, thank you guys for coming out so quickly."

Layla gave her a smile as she opened the door wider. "Not a problem. You said you were robbed?"

John and Layla looked around her apartment. "Yes. Sorry I'm a little shaken."

"Perfectly understandable." John spoke courtly.

"I didn't think something like this could happen. Everything seemed so safe."

Layla pulled her notepad out stopping as she turned to her. "What all was stolen?" She asked her.

The girl looked to her before she began listing off the items. "A poleax, a cloak of undying and my giraffe, Nexi." She spoke crossing her arms.

Layla and John shared a look of confusion.

"I have to get her back. I mean it took two weeks of driving to save up for her egg."

Layla sighed coming to the realization as she put her notepad away. "And you're talking about a video game."

John shook his head. "Sorry I am very lost." He looked down at Layla.

"Nope, not my area of expertise. I'll take the backseat on this one."

John paused before he looked back to the girl.

"Look, they broke into my cloud master mansion. You have to help me." She picked up her VR headset. Handing it to John.

"In shadow realm. Dragonslayer6498. You guys have to stop him."

Layla crossed her arms looking up to her TO.

"Okay, um, let me see." He took the headset off of her placing it over his eyes.

Not a second passing before John began shouting as he 'fell from the sky.'

Layla unable to hold her laughter, laughed as she snapped a picture of him.

"Oh today is going to be a good day."
