"You sure Kiira isn't with Iris?" Prompto asked as the four of them exited the Regalia. The royal retinue was currently at Meldacio, searching for any leads anyone had on Kiira.

"If she was, she would've responded to my messages by now. Kiira isn't one to wander off and not tell anyone."

"Did she mention any hunter by name?" Ignis asked.

"Yeah, she said some hunter named Perci asked for her help."

"Was the hunt that difficult he couldn't handle the monster himself?" Noctis inquired.

"Guess so. She didn't give me details 'bout the hunt. All she said before she left was she was goin' to be helping a fellow hunter and would be back in a couple of days," Gladio answered.

"And it's been an entire week. Something's definitely up," Prompto mumbled.

The group found Dave relaxing nearby and asked about the hunt Perci accepted a few days ago. The man raised a brow in confusion. "Perci hasn't done a hunt in months. Why do y'all ask?"

"He contacted Kiira and asked for her assistance on the matter," Ignis replied.

"I don't like this..." Noctis confesses.

Dave got to his feet and stormed over to the store. When he exited, the man was pulling a young boy with him. "You've some explainin' to do, son."

"W-What have I done wrong?" The frightened boy asked as he saw the group. Dave didn't answer and released him when he was in front of the friends.

"You're the last one to have seen and spoke to Kiira. Where is she?" Gladio asked, keeping his anger at bay for the moment.

"I've no idea who you're talking about," Perci denied, crossing his arms and trying to act tough.

Seeing him lie through his teeth was enough to send the shield over the edge. Gladio grabbed the boy by the collar and hauled him closer, glaring sharply at him. "Where is she?" His tone was more deeper and threatening than anyone had ever heard before.

"Son, we know you're lyin'," Dave frowns.

Perci swallowed hard, his fear causing his body to shake in Gladio's grasp. "A-A man paid me a million gil to bring her to some abandoned facility in Leide."

Galdio's grip tightened on the boy, having a hunch of who already was behind this. "What did he look like?"

"H-He had red hair, amber eyes, a-and a hat. I-I didn't get a name."

"Ardyn," Noctis growls.

"What would he want with Kiira?" Prompto asked.

"He only said something about a 'vessel'. I can show you where the facility is. The door's hidden and I was only able to find it because he gave me the location," Perci offered.

Gladio released the hunter. "I'm gonna kill that bastard."

"Just follow my truck. We should be there by noon," the hunter exclaims.

"Make sure you bring Kiira back safely. She's one of Lucis' best hunters," Dave said.

"Her safety is my top priority right now. We'll bring her back," Gladio reassures. The boys returned to the Regalia and followed behind Perci's truck.
