The moment they landed, Xander and his companion made moves to get themselves a room at a nearby motel where Eric would call their base of operations. The Crested Butte was a small town with lots of restaurants, bars and coffee shops, Xander was certain that it would not take long to locate the man they came for and also find Ariel.The motel they lodged did not serve food, prompting them to eat at one of the restaurants. Xander and Eric did not take long to find a suitable place to eat. Soon enough the men were sitting in a small but well built restaurant waiting for their orders."What do we do from here?" Eric asked."We'll try and find this man." Xander said as he slammed a picture on the table. "We can find Ariel with him.""The General?" A voice asked above their shoulders startling them both. It was one of the waiters in the restaurant. "You're looking for the general?" The young man asked again.Xander was not sure how best he was supposed to answer. And again, Xander knew abs

Xander and Eric stood up immediately and turned round to see the general on the stairs observing them with keen eyes. The man was a middle aged man with a head that was partially bald. He stood tall and straight with broad wide shoulders."Who are you?" He asked in a deep voice that resonated throughout the room.Eric looked at Xander, imploying the latter to answer the question. With just a look at the general, Xander knew that before him was a no nonsense man. This would be a man that would be difficult to reason with."Hi. We are distant relatives of Ariel." Xander began. "We are here to see Ariel please." As Xander said this, he stretched and offered his hand out to The General for a handshake.The general considered Xander's hand with weary eyes and then he reached out tentatively and shook Xander's hand, covering the latter's hand with his huge and hard palm. Xander's ring emitted a faint yellow glow.Eric saw this and looked quickly at the general's face but the man showed no

By the time Xander regained consciousness, he was in a different room. Xander scanned his surroundings slowly, the effects of the halothane gas that was used to knock them out and render them unconscious was slowly wearing out leaving a numb feeling in its wake.Xander was in a sitting position when he woke up and only when he tried to stand did he realize that he was tied tightly to the chair. Xander tested the strains that held him but all was to no avail. The strains held fast and there was just nothing he could do to break free.With that Xander began to survey his prison carefully. The room looked like it was a study or a mini library with three shelves containing books and a table at the far side of the room with books upon it and a chair beside. Xander assumed it to be the general's personal room, his study.As Xander sat there observing the room wearily, the door swung open and the general walked in wearing long bathroom robes. A smirk went on the general's face as he made his

Xander found himself wandering the little streets of the Crested Butte that afternoon. He had been given directions and sent off to the family he needed to acquire the roots from.

Xander was supposed to return with the roots in forty eight hours or else their deal would be off.Xander moved with urgency and determination, whoever this family was, Xander needed to return with that root for Ariel and Eric's sakes. He needed to return home to his Lina too and he had to first of all get his hands on those roots.Xander moved quietly among the families who had come to the Crested Butte tourism.

"You mean the Ribose-5-Phosphate Isomerase Deficiency?" Xander asked. He was immediately shocked after saying that. How did he know about that? It must be the ring again playing its tricks, Xander thought."Yes. That's the same disease." The man replied. "A very rare and dangerous one. My father has been suffering with it for a long time now and you're not the first person who would try to cure him.""Is this even curable?" Xander asked, his brows furrowing with concern.The man shrugged. "Well that's left for you to find out." He replied. "And remember, you could be made richer than you've ever imagined or you could be a dead man soon. Depending on your results anyway."Xander's eyes widened in surprise. This was not what he had signed up for. He hadn't heard the details of this deal before he was forced to sign it! Xander began to doubt whether his ring would save him out of this one. He steadied himself and decided that he would do what he could to return safely."I'll heal your fa

One way or the other each of them had issues that bothered them and as they drove to that mansion of Mr James, they ceased this opportunity to sit quietly in reflection.The car soon pulled over at the mansion.

Xander was horrified at what Lina had proposed. He was even surprised that Lina had proposed such an ideal to begin with."You want me to serve as a bodyguard to your father?" Xander asked carefully as if he wanted Lina to confirm her words or as if he wanted to confirm whether he had heard her correctly."Not as his immediate personal guard but as his protector." Lina explained quickly."Even with that, you know it's hard for me to accept that, Lina." Xander complained. "Besides, what makes you think Mr James will come to terms with this? We despise each other!" It was true what Xander had said. The enmity between the two of them was something that was clear and obvious to the sight of any who would care to study them.
