"Fourteen more days for the eggs to hatch. I'm sure Percillia will come around soon. She won't leave her eggs to die." He said looking at the eggs that sat still in his lair."Hmm. The eggs would have been a great addition to hell."Trick looked at him. "Lucifer, Lucifer. I'm pretty sure your dumbness is what got you sent out of heaven.""What do you mean by that?" Lucifer queried with a frown on his face."Truly the eggs would have been a great addition, but these eggs are programmed to die if their first sight isn't Percillia. Mama dragon made sure of that before she died.""Then it's useless then," Lucifer concluded.Trick shook his head. "Not useless. These are another of mama dragon's descendants, so I'm pretty sure Percillia will make sure her descendants don't go into extinction. It was a promise she made to mama dragon.""Don't you think there could be a way to reverse mama dragon's curse on her children?" Lucifer asked.Trick tilted his head at the eggs. "Hmm. Probably. But l

"The whole jazz square of this club is turning my eyes!" Zoey yelled so she can be heard. "And I can't help it, but move accordingly. Can you see me, Kara?" She was beginning to talk to herself since Kara didn't hear the second part.She was more focused on looking for Renard, or even Julius. Anyone of them could lead her to the spot she saw in her dreams."Hey, you guys!" Layla walked up to them looking kinda drunk. "Do you care for some white magic?"Kara furrowed her brows at what was on her hand. "What's that? Are those drugs?" She asked with a frown on her face."You only get to rebel one day!" She said out loud, dancing and moving to the rhythm of the jazz.Kara was only nodding to it. She wouldn't like it if she get too carried away like her friend Zoey who seem to have forgotten they were here on a mission.But then she stopped and furrowed her brows in suspicion, and thoughts. She then turned to look at Zoey as she just danced like there was no care for the world, forgetting

"What the hell is happening?""Was that a gunshot?"Everyone in the club was panicking and running out.Zoey, now a bit sober, kept looking around and walking around looking for Kara, and Layla. Just one drink, Zoey. Just one. She sighed, as her head was pounding.She frowned wondering where they are. She couldn't leave without them. It was too late.Her eyes widened as she saw Layla sitting on a stool close to the counter with a guy. "Layla!" She yelled, but Layla was completely out of it.Zoey pushed the guy off her. "Stay away from my friend."The guy chuckled and backed off."Layla!" Zoey kept calling her, but Layla was in a different world."I had so much fun, Zoey. So much!" That was all she said in a triumphant manner.Zoey just nodded. "OK, but what about Kara? Where's she?"Layla let out a short cackling sound. "Who cares?"Zoey just shook her head at Layla and kept looking around wondering where Kara went to.She furrowed her brows as she saw Philip Stark walking hastily out

Kara got home very late and entered her house. She met her mom, and siblings worried. They were obviously wondering when she was gonna get home."Mom, do you think she's involved with that club?" Ellie asked.Nora shook her head. "I'm not sure. Your sister won't involve herself in such. Besides, I didn't see her, or any of her friends."They all nodded still waiting.Nora sighed broodingly, remembering what she did. She was even lucky she was the one that caught Layla, and Zoey's phone on the ground. It was wrong of her, but somehow she knew Kara was involved. The problem is where she's at because she was the one who called 911.Kara silently walked up the stairs not knowing what else to do to ease them.She shook her head and walked back down. It's best to start really thinking about how to become visible again.How did it happen? How did it happen? There should be a way to reverse it.She stood still for a while in deep thought, and after a few seconds, something clicked."I wished

"Ah. Kara!" Zoey yelled and ran to give her a tight hug. "Oh my God! I'm happy you're safe!"The hug was becoming too tight for Kara and she was finding it difficult to breathe. "Zo...Zoey. I can't breathe." She said in a strained voice.Zoey immediately pulled out of the hug. "Oh, sorry. I was so worried. What happened?""I got out. I was even the one who called the cops."Her eyes widened. "Seriously?"Kara nodded."Where were you then?" Zoey asked."Somewhere. And besides, you should have left Layla. It would have been good if she got caught. She deserved that." Kara said out of anger.Zoey sighed. "I just couldn't.""I no longer want a friend like her. She's wayward. She took drugs and was offering. I think she drugged you."Zoey furrowed her brows. "Right?"Kara nodded. "Yeah, when we got there. The one drink you drank, and she tried to force me to, it was no coincidence."Zoey sighed loudly. "From now henceforth, I'm allergic to clubs."Kara chuckled. "Right."Then Zoey furrowed

"Wow. These pictures are authentic." Zoey commented scanning through it on her laptop. "How did you get so close?"Kara sighed dramatically. "Believe me, I don't know.""These pictures alone can implicate them. It's enough evidence. I can tell all the guns they're carrying are unlicensed." Zoey figured looking seriously at the pictures.Kara nodded. "It's sad we don't know who the main boss is. I overheard they were expecting a visitor."Zoey looked at Kara. "Now that you brought it up, I saw Philip Stark rushing out of the club not long after the gunshot."Kara's eyes lowered in thoughts. "He's definitely involved. I just hope I get a call from Renard.""Julius being caught by the police, I know he won't rat his boss out. He'll definitely be scared too." Zoey stated the obvious.Kara suddenly frowned, her eyes narrowed in thoughts. A coder, and a software engineer. It's no coincidence that they work together."I have a thought, Zoey. The reason why Renard was almost killed is that he

"I know you guys know the reason why I called you. The death that happened at Placid hotel. I want an investigation, and a full report on it, since it concerns the ongoing investigation of what happened at that unknown club. I want Daily Research to be the first to publish this. You get me!" Mrs. Taylor Leon commanded, and everyone nodded."It's competition, people! Anyone of you who breaks, and publishes this case first will be promoted to the second stairs. You'll no longer be an intern, but a full-blown journalist." She told them."Ooh. Desperate." Someone commented with a whisper."Y'all got me, right!" She hollered."Yes ma'am!" Everyone answered.She nodded and left towards the elevator.Kara let out a huge sigh. "Things are becoming serious." She said as they walk back to their desks.Zoey nodded in agreement. "Although I still wonder how you knew he died.""Isn't it obvious? His message was his testimony. People who do that are about to die."Zoey frowned at her. "Oh.""We're

"Kara.""Mom.""How many times have I called you!"Kara knew something was wrong. "Normally, it's always three, but you called me four times."Nora nodded. "What have you been involved in, Kara? First, it was your involvement with The hook club, and you're lucky I made sure they didn't trace who called 911, and now, I found your number in Renard Harswell's phone. That was the last thing on his phone when he was found. Your number was on it."Kara blinked. "Damn. That wasn't smart." She muttered. "I'm guessing you equally did something about it." Kara figured."I don't want you too invol...""Mom, I'm already involved. It's my job." Kara told her.Nora shook her head. "Well, I couldn't hide you this time. I'm supposed to talk to you about it. So, now I need your assistance on what you know about what has been happening."Kara smiled. "OK.""First, do you know the boss of Renard and Julius?"Kara nodded. "His name is Leonard Vander.""How do you know that?" Nora asked angrily."Because

"You sent for me, Percillia.""I need the eggs."Trick shrugged. "You know what you need to do. And time is running out.""Trick..""Show me what I need to see."Percillia sighed and nodded. "I will, but first I need to see the eggs."Trick nodded and made the eggs appear on his hand.Percillia let out a sigh of relief.The eggs disappeared, and Trick smirked. "I'm waiting."Percillia covered her eyes slowly, and then shut them while Trick just stood, and watched.And then her eyes opened wide in horror. "It's on earth.""I know.""Not in Singapore, but Kansas.""U.S?""Yes. In a city. Capital city.""Did it walk there, cause Singapore is where it was, and where Gordon mainly searched.""Actually it did, but...but...I'm kinda being blocked out. I'm be...being blo...blocked out." Her eyes were beginning to twitch as she was trying to fight what was blocking her out.Trick frowned. "Say it, Percillia. Say it!""It's in someone!" She forcefully said followed by a huge gasp and blinked."

Kara smirked at the byline she used in her writing. 'Capture of a vile drug lord.'"You think that's okay?" Zoey asked.Kara nodded. "Yeah. If we want to put info about the weapon, there won't be too much to write about it. That's why I wrote in it that Julius Ortiz and the late Renard Harswell were working on a weapon unknown to the public. A weapon that didn't go as planned due to Renard's mistake that led to his death." She said reading out loud and looking at Zoey. "My mom said Julius won't talk to anyone, and he's more scared now that Leonard will be sharing a cell with him. He's scared of dying so, the weapon can't be our byline. We've got nothing much on it."Zoey nodded in understanding. "But the drugs, there is enough evidence thanks to the pictures you snapped."Kara equally nodded. "Yep." And then she clicked the print button and printed them out. "Let's go show it to the boss." Kara closed her laptop.Zoey smiled, and they stood up to the elevator.....Mr. Stark's jaw
