We walk into the room that has filing cabinets, a computer, desk, it basically looked like an office, but much bigger. Russell walks over and sits in the chair with Roxi at his side and the others sprung around the office.
"So," Landion finally says breaking the silence, "what does the pass phrase mean?"
"It's used for utmost emergencies like this, it's used for Anea." Roxi explained, "when she runs away or does something against the law and is brought back to John..." She didn't finish the sentence but we can all guess what he would do to her.
"Brothers, he knows about elves, he knows that Anea is an elf." Russell said, eyes full of worry.
"How could he possibly know?" Suiadan gasped, looking utterly shocked by the statement.
"Someone probably told him, like how Anea told us she was an elf."
"She told you?" I asked this time.
"Yeah, she told us when she was young. We were the only ones she trusted." Trixi replied
"Did you tell her that John knows?" Landion shoved his hands into his pockets, eyes narrrowing.
Russell sighed deeply. "No, we didn't have the heart to tell her after what happened..." he trailed off, and even Landion didn't know of this.
"Yeah," Albino Boy spoke up. "He broke her heart and we just... couldn't break it even further." Okay who's "he?"
"Yeah him, I still look for him. Waiting to pound his face in the ground." Tony flared clutching his fist and tightening up.
"Hold up now, who's he?" Suiadan questioned.
"We can't tell you," Russell answered. Why not! "We promised Anea we wouldn't tell another living soul even if she trusted them. If you really want to know ask her. I will tell you this, it's the reason why she has trust issues with strangers." Yeah we would kind of like to know why she has trust issues!
"Back to the matter at hand." Landion coughed, grabbing the attention, "why don't we just call the police? They arrest John and Thranduil can adopt her."
"It's not that easy." Trixi obligated, "John has buddies in the police department, they will keep it quiet and John will be in and out within five minutes, and Anea will be forced back to live with him." Of course he's buddies with some of the policemen!
"Why don't we make it public?" Albino Boy now spoke up eyeing everybody.
"How?" Suiadan asked, cocking his head.
"We call the police, then we hack into the news network and send them a message to go to the address and tell them there's an arrest for abuse." And this 14 year old hacker figured this out!
"Nice job Albino Boy, you're smarter than you look." Landion praised patting the boy's shoulder.
"Thanks," Albino Boy smiled, "and it's Trevor!"
"Alright alright, so you call the police, and I hack into the news?"
"Sure, sure you get all the fun!" Trevor sighed.
"Good, now where does John live?" Suiadan asked, his voice cold and hard.
"Why...?" Russell asked, now looking suspicious.
"We are going to get Anea back, he will probably threaten the police with her."
"It's probably true," Roxi commented, "I've been in his house before and I saw hunting rifles, pistols, shotguns, the whole thing."
"Okay," Russell stood, "Landion and Trevor will get the police and reporters on the phone, Suiadan, Legolas, me, and Tony will help get Anea back, and Roxi will come with us to heal her wounds. Trixi I need you looking after the wear house while we're gone." They all nodded and without saying another word we left for John's house.
