Tri nodded to Gaia respectfully then moved to Leukos motioning before heading to the door. There was only a hint of hesitation before he opened it and took a step through.

Leukos gave a nod and followed him.
As Tri moved through the door, he suddenly woke up in the car. Everything was as is, Kae was driving speeding with a bored look on her face as she didn't even seem to notice he had been asleep.
Hexxis blinked and looked up Trisuri, still in his arms the whole time, she stared at him with a blank face that gave a glimmer of curiosity that seemed ask if he was okay even without words.
After a moment, Leukos woke up and pulled off his headphones and looked at Tri, confirming he was awake too before sighing with only hint of relief. He looked to Hexxis and then to Kae. Everything seemed okay now. He pulled out his phone and moved screens before he blinked, a look of growing concern on his face. "....s**t." he cursed.

Tri jerked to wakefulness and stared down at Hexxis who was the first person he saw, pulling her closer he hugged her without any words. He meet Leukos gaze and nodded slightly as he focused on Hexxis then on Kae and finally at what was outside.
He turned to look at Leukos sharply then toward his phone. "What?"

Leukos seemed to hesitate and frown. "Something happened at the base.... Mara was taken." he relayed with a soft hint of deep regret. He called a number on his phone and waited before a distressed female voice came on the line.
Kae instinctively sped up as much as she could, white knuckles gripping the steering wheel hard. "Who the ********> she growled.
"Hey hey hey, calm down. Take a breath. Tell me what happened." he spoke with a concerned voice. He listened to the sobbing voice on the other line. "Okay. But where. Give me an address." he requested then fell quiet. "Yeah, I understand. Are you okay, though? Is anyone hurt?" he waited and then he took a slow steady breath. "Okay. Stay with them. They trust you... You can protect them." he assured then hung up. Leukos turned to Tri. "Mara was taken by Norcrest officials. Melody is sure of it they are from Haven. They got a tracer on one of them and have a location of where they took her. We should go there. Get her back."
Kae looked pissed. "What they are doing is illegal. We have to stop them." she glanced to Leukos. "What's the address."

"No...we need to head back and regroup" Tri looked alarmed, his arm tightening around Hexxis as he looked sharply at Leukos. "Remember what just happened a moment a ago .. " he warned still trying to fully wake up even as he heard himself talk but could not believe what he said. His heart was racing in fear and dread, gain one only to lose another? but at this moment in time he truely could not tell what was a dream or reality any more.
"If it is the goat ..." he sighed because it could perfectly be Norcrest waiting until Kae left to try and go in...but after obviously working with Mara all this time in regards with Zaku? Also having no jurisdiction ...were they willing to gain Belrad's ire? At the same time if it was them, they were wasting time. "Leukos call (third in command) number (#) ask what is happening " he said sharply, trying to push down the fear those words brought up.

Kae paused, glancing at Tri through the rearview mirror. She wanted to be angry, but he was right. She took a deep breath and released the tension in her grip on the steering wheel. ".....a moment ago?.... you two were just asleep..." she commented then sighed. Kae opened her mouth to tell Leukos to call the 3rd in command but Tri spoke before she could, so she just nodded. Leukos nodded and called the number. Waiting for the answer. "I'm calling on behalf of Kae who is driving, Melody told me people came to take Mara, please tell me what happened exactly." he listened and his expression serious. "I see." It didn't look good. "That's-... No..........No. Yeah, I understand. We are still on our way back. Is there anyway to-...... Oh... I see. Okay. Yes,....uhm..." he sighed. "Let me ask Kae." Leukos frowned and looked to Kae with a grim look. "Kae, I'm not sure what to believe. [Name] has said that Mara is there, moved to a different room. Melody is claiming things that don't make sense. They think something might be wrong and suggest she be placed in holding until we return. She's displaying aggressive behavior and they think she's a danger to herself and others." he spoke grimly. Now he didn't know whether to believe Melody or [name].Kae grit her teeth, trying to figure out whether to give that okay or not. They were still two hours out and having conflicting information on Mara's whereabouts and the mental state of Melody. Maybe it was not the greatest idea for her to have left so suddenly. Dammit!

Tri took a soft shaky breath as the fear felt like a kick in the stomach. "Tell...tell them to leave her be until Kae gets there. Call Melody tell her to lock herself in the room next to Mara's room there is a secret room in the back ...Melody is likely programmed in " he let out a soft breath. "Ask her where the location is " he said quietly trying not to show how much it scared him.
Ame frowned ".......Never trust SIU" he muttered.

Kae sighed then nodded.
Leukos was tense on his own, his face stoic and cold but his hair was starting to shift color, betraying how scared he was of it all. He glanced to Tri and then to Hexxis. Getting back on the line, Kae said to leave Melody be until we get back." there was some more talking. "Yes. Understood, thank you." he them hung up and redialed Melody. There was no answer. He called again. No answer. The increasing dread in the pit of his stomach. "...she's not answering...." he murdered and tried again with no luck. Still no answer.

"Keep trying " he muttered, all traces of sleep gone as he looked at Hexxis ..no Ame. Putting her down on the sit by him he shifted his wings umcomfortably, hand reaching up to touch his collar with a frown. After a second he lowered his hand and put a seatbelt around Hexxis's before pulling out his phone and stared at it then up at Leukos. Tempted to just call her over and over "wait, no. Give her 5 minutes then call again...if she I saw moving she might not be answering" he said quietly countering his own words for a second time. Trying not to think that if Melody was captured it would be the same thing. Also, without the coordinates they had to head back anyways.
Ame said nothing a tired look in her eyes as she watched them all.

Leukos took a breath, trying to let his fear get the better of him. He waited the five minutes then dialed again, still nothing. He went to dial again when his phone rang again. He answered it immediately, "Melody, what's happening?" he asked immediately, the voice on the other side was crying and desperate. "What?! Go to the room next to Mara's, there a secret room in the back. Can you make it there?" he asked, any steel of his voice was gone as his hair shifted colors to pair with the panic in his voice. "Try. You have to try!" The female voice was breathless, panicked, obviously running.
Kae was trying to stay stoic as she kept speeding. Dammit, was there no way to get there faster. She wished she was there to stop whatever was happening there right now. What was even happening?!

Tri tensed as he listened, unable to do more than what he said as he leaned forward watching and waiting. He could only hope Melody got there in time, especially if she was being chased by the rest of the base. What were they doing? Taking Mara trying to lock up Melody ....
He took a deep breath as tried to think of anything else they could do to help her before arriving. He used up both his artifacts earlier well ...he couldn't maybe summon one now and teleport them a mile ahead wasn't going to help. He clenched his teeth as frowned, watching Leukos panic and couldn't blame him.

Leukos could only listen as Melody kept crying and running, he was tense and scared for her. There was a few moments of silence, then some yelling and rustling. "Melody!" he gripping the phone hard as his stared wide eyed, listening to the line. There was a scream and distant voices as Melody's yelling voice got softer. "MELODY!!" he yelled into the phone. He was shaking,not knowing what to do as he looked to Kae, "..Th-they came back!! We have to go faster!!" he demanded.
Kae frowned, "..leukos, we are going at max speed, I can't go any faster. Even now we are traveling at a very dangerous speed." she warned. "Slow down, tell me what happened... and what is the address."
Leukos was panicking. "Melody said they came back and were trying to take her. She had been evading them but..." he trailed off and took a breath. "...she had told me it was [address]..."
Roll a D20.

Tri tense as he could hear it in Leukos voice that she was captured as well. It made no sense, none at all why risk two runs at the same time and not just both at the same time but come back for the second one later? Was SIU even now with the change that corrupt?
Saying nothing he put in the address in his phone and looked it up before telling the others.

The address was just south of Midena, when Tri pulled it up.
Kae tightened her grip a bit and began to slow down then glanced at Tri. "Tri... if they are willing to take Mara and Melody.... then what's to say they won't take the three of us once we return. In all truth, I don't think they left the first time. They waited. They were waiting for us. But Melody warned us...... don't you think it's odd that Melody told us about them taking Mara and not [name of third in command]. This had to be a setup.... We cannot rely on SIU right now." she explained then took a breath. "Either way, we can't go back there yet... Our choice is to find a place to settle for now, or to go after where they took Mara and likely where they are sending Melody."

"The other option is that (third in command) is right and there is something wrong with Melody" he said quietly, hoping for that . "I can do a few more calls to confirm what I said happening. Bar and Sade should still be there, if not then they should give us a better idea what is happening " he said quietly. "The address is south of Midena " he said quickly, letting Kae decide as he started to call Bar.
