We walk up to the hut, Rylee knocks on the door. Nobody opens it. Gregor cuts in on the medallion. "His name is Julles," He informed us.
"Julles buddy, are you in there?" Brynn says in a neutral tone. No answer. "That's it we're going in," I order. I try to open the door, it's locked. "Stand back," Rylee demands. Brynn and I do as she said. Rylee then kicks down the door.
Inside we find a bulky African boy crammed under a desk. He whimpers. "Hey Julles, buddy you're safe now," Brynn tries to comfort the terrified boy. Something happened to him, does it have to do with the war?
Brynn reaches to touch Julles arm, he flinches and gasps. "Maybe you should try with him," Rylee suggests to me. Brynn looks at me, I nod for her to back away.
I brought a twix bar for the trip, It's in the pocket of my blue and white coat that's tied around my waist. I untie the coat and reach around in the pockets. I find the twix bar, I hold it out to Julles.
I wonder if he speaks English. "Do you know English?" I ask him. He nods "Little bit." I continue to hold out the twix bar. He slowly crawls out from under the desk, and over to me. Julles snatches the twix bar.
"Can you tell me what happens?" I ask. Julles shakes his head. I look over at Rylee and Brynn they are watching intently. "My name is Cannon," I whisper to him. He just looks at me.
"These are my friends, Rylee and Brynn," I motion to the girls. "Can you please come with us Julles?" I insist. He gives me a petrified look. "Not safe," He quaked. "Bud we are here to keep you safe," I tell.
I reach my hand out to him, he takes it. Julles is very weary of the girls, was his mother or maybe sister bad to him?
Julles latches onto my forearm as we walk out of the shack. "How long have you been in there?" I question him. He looks up at me. "Five nights," He responds. I nod at him.
Gregor calls in on the Medallion. "Do you have Julles?" He questions. "Yeah" I respond. "Okay there is one more," He starts "His name is Watson. He is sixteen, he will be easier than Julles was," Gregor adds.
I almost forgot that Gregor could hear everything that we hear. It's good that he can, wait that means he knows that Brynn and I are dating. Fuck.
Gregor tells us the location and I teleport us there. In front of us stands a boy standing next to a small campfire. Watson is homeless.
"Do you want to come with us?" Rylee says getting right to the point. "Sure" He beamed. He was easier than Julles was.
We teleport back home.
