The Rise Of The Saviour 66 The Search Begins - 2

But Morpheous didn't even move his hand by an inch!

His gaze was fixated on her and when he blinked a tinge of blue ushered in his eyes but it went unnoticed by the girl in front of him as she was too busy trying to get rid of the tingling.

The moment she felt normal, she looked at him but this time her features had softened. Her brows were not raised anymore nor did her nostrils flare. And it was then that Morpheous noticed her bonnie hypnotizing eyes and felt drawn to her in an instant.

There was something about her that he was unable to explain, but was drawing him towards her, just like a moth is drawn to the flame.

For a moment she thought of just walking away for the man who seemed too obnoxious and rude but given that he came to her to return the earphones, somehow made her open her backpack.

"Here! We are having a charity auction at the community hall tomorrow night! Do come. Every small donation counts!" and saying that she handed over a flyer to him.

Holding the flyer upside down, Morpheous acted for a second as if he was reading it and that irked her for that man didn't even have the courtesy to act that he cared for the event. So she s.n.a.t.c.hed the flyer back from him and said,

"Nevermind! It was just a fleeting thought. Have a nice day!"

And without even looking at any expression on his face she turned back and walked away cursing her fate.

"Brother! Brother!"

And it was only then that Morpheous turned back. Looking at Eva he said,

"We need to go back to the place where we came in at first. We might find some answers from there."

"Let's talk with Atticus about it then," said Eva and turned to look at Atticus who was now successfully connected to the 911 helpline.

"Oh, so there is no other news!" sighed Atticus and then disconnected the call. The cops also hadn't received any call from anyone in the Riverdale area about the presence of any lunatic people.

"Can we go back to your Daughter's place? I guess we shall be able to find some clue from there," said Morpheous and looked at him. He thought for a while and then said,

"Sure. Why not!" and saying that he walked towards the driving side of the car but his footsteps stopped as he saw Morpheous also walking towards the same side.

"Erm... ok... said Atticus and went back towards the pa.s.senger's side."

Tightening the seat belt around him, he changed the navigation to his daughter's place.

"But I must warn you. They aren't the nicest people on the planet, except for my daughter."

Morpheous just nodded and then asked, "Can this device detect traces of energy even after a person has left?"

Atticus just shook his head and he could see utter disappointment etching on the face of Morpheous. Narrowing his eyes he looked ahead and started the jeep. After five minutes, when they were about to reach Nathasha and Leonard's place, Atticus got a call from Natasha.

"Hi, Dad!"

"Yes my child? What happened?" asked Atticus as her voice sounded a bit panicked.

"Are you with them? Tell me you are with them right now."

"Erm... yeah. But how do you know that I am with them? What happened?"

"Erm... the thing is, I got a weird parcel delivered at home."

"What parcel? What does it contain?" asked Atticus skeptically.

"Not sure how to explain, but there is a leather diary and a photograph of you with that man and his sister. Not sure how someone took a picture of you and posted it to me."

Atticus looked at Morpheous who was unable to comprehend. So Atticus muted the phone and said,

"The thing that you saw on my fridge is a picture of me and my daughter. We take it using a device called a camera and such pictures are called photographs.

Morpheous nodded and took the final turn to reach their lane.

Unmuting the phone, Atticus said,

"Don't worry. We are almost near your house. Let's discuss then.

"Ok!" said Natasha, feeling a bit relieved.

As soon as they reached the place, Morpheous walked towards the pool and looked everywhere around. Then he bent down at one place and gently placed the palm of his hands on the surface as if he was trying to feel something.

"What are you doing there?" asked Atticus and went close to him.

"Nothing... just like that," said Morpheous and got up.

"If you say so!" said Atticus and skeptical turned to look around the place and then walked away to ring the doorbell.

Meanwhile struggling with slight pain in her leg, she limped for quite some time till she reached a couple of blocks away from the place where she had b.u.mped against Morpheous. Something made her turn back and she tried to see if they were still visible.

And when she confirmed that they were not, with an evil smile etched on her face, she straightened her leg and crossing the road she ran towards a car that was parked three blocks away from the road crossing.

Getting in the backseat, she picked up a bottle of water and gulped the contents. The man who was sitting in the front had been patiently waiting and once she was done gulping the last drop of water in the bottle, he turned towards her and asked,

"Was it him?"

"Oh yes! Definitely yes!"

"So are we trapping him up?"

"Totally! He is definitely going to come to the charity event," she said. A brilliant and victorious smile was stretched on her face.

The driver who was sitting quietly till that point said,

"You better pray your stars and make sure that this works."
