Rogen and Venus continued their search for the little elf girl. Rogen was starting to feel uncomfortable from the way Venus is acting when they were in the red light district. Rogen looked at Venus and spoke, " Uhm, could you let go of my hand, we already have left the red light district about thirty minutes ago. "Venus immediately releases Rogen"s hand and blushed from her embarra.s.sment, she then said, " Oh! I"m very sorry, I was just enjoying the view of this city. That I forgot that we already left the red light district.
Rogen replied to Venus"s reason, " It"s ok, now let"s continue our search for the girl. We should hurry as I am concerned about her safety, I"m sure those people from yesterday might have started looking for her and you. "
Venus then suggested something to Rogen, " Why don"t we split up, so we could find her faster. "
Rogen looked at Venus and spoke, " Great idea, I will look over there and you will look over there."
The two separates from each other and started looking for the girl, in different directions. Rogen went west, while Venus went east. Alvarez and Robert who were following the two suddenly, notice that the two separated.
Robert had a bad feeling about something that made his instincts immediately tingle, so he spoke to Alvarez about what he felt.
Robert spoke to Alvarez, " Hey, I think I have a bad feeling about this. I think we should follow the two, they might run into some trouble. "
Alvarez replied to Robert after hearing about Robert"s guts, " I think you are quite right Robert, I also had a bad feeling about this. We must follow the two of them to ensure there safety.
Alvarez then spoke, " Agreed, I will follow Venus, and you follow Rogen. "
Robert and Alvarez also parted ways following the two. Robert did not let his sight get lost from Venus, while Alvarez also did the same to Rogen.
Rogen was looking everywhere for the girl, he even had asked the residents of each house, if they have seen the little elf girl.
Rogen started to look at every alleyway, he even started to look inside of crates, as he knew that he was looking for a child. He looked at every place where a child could hide but did not have any luck to find where the girl is.
Venus also searches everywhere, and the same as Rogen, she started to ask the residents of the area. But there was a figure following Venus after she separated from Rogen.
The figure wore a cloak making hard to identify the figure. The figure stalks Venus as she searches for the little elf girl. But the figure did not know that someone already noticed him from a distance.
That, someone, noticed the figure was tailing and following Venus. That, someone, was none other than Lieutenant Robert. He started to follow the figure, as the figure also followed Venus.
Robert thought to himself, [ Why is this guy following Venus. But my gut tells me this guy following her is up to no good. I must keep an eye on this cloaked fellow. I must also be careful not to use this pistol, I must come up with a surprise attack, without using a gun. ]
Robert continued to follow the two, Robert was actually good at tailing, as he blends with the people surrounding him, and even had an unsuspicious nature, making it hard for his target that he is following.
Venus turned to a corner where there were some crates, piled up so she immediately looks at the crates to look for the girl.
Rogen managed to reach the slumps of the city, the slump was full of people who had a strange gaze at Rogen. There were destroyed houses, where people were actually living. Rogen even saw children running away from guards while carrying a basket full of fruits.
As Rogen looked at the area, he notices a crying little girl, from an abandoned and almost destroyed house. Rogen was hesitant to enter the house at first as he thought it was a trap by some thugs to rob him.
But he went in, to see if it really was the girl. But in his mind Rogen wanted it to stand girl. For the reason that he still needs, to work some paperwork, and it was already starting to get dark.
As Rogen opens the door of the house, he did not see anyone, but he still heard the cry of a little girl, this time it was upstairs. Rogen was starting to get scared as the house actually looked haunted, and the sun was starting to set. Rogen slowly climbed upstairs and notices someone following him. He already noticed this fellow who was following, from when he separated from Venus. But Roge. notices that the presence seems very familiar, he then looks back at the door and yelled, " Captain Alvarez I know you"re there, so stop hiding, and why are you even following me. "
A Voice then replied, " Uhm, no one is following you, and who is this Alvarez, I"m sure he is a very handsome man. "
Rogen just spoke, " Come on now Alvarez, you are bad at tailing people, I already noticed you when I got separated with Venus. So just show yourself and help me find the girl. "
Alvarez then showed himself and spoke, " Fine, you got me, but I will not help you find the girl in this house. Look at how creepy this place is, and I"m kinda scared now, let"s look for the girl in other places.
Rogen looked at Alvarez with a look not befitting of a human it was a glance that was meant for animals, Rogen then spoke, " How did you even become captain of the SF if you are a coward."
Alvarez then replied, " What"s with that look, and also I am not a coward. I am not afraid of anything, that"s why I have become the Captain of the SF because of my bravery.
A cry suddenly echoes in the house, which made Alvarez scared and run towards the exit of the house. But he was immediately grabbed by Rogen.
Rogen than spoke, " Not afraid of anything, then why are you running away. "
Alvarez then replied to Rogen, " I"m not afraid of living human, and animals, even beasts. But I am truly scared of ghosts as I got traumatized after watching a lot of horror movies, about possession of ghosts to the bodies of the living. "
Rogen smiled to the captain and spoke, " Then Captain won"t this be more fun, than those movies. Maybe you would get to face your fears if you really see a ghost in real life. "
Rogen went upstairs while dragging Alvarez, as they climb to the second floor, Rogen heard the cry got louder. The sobbing got clearer and nearer, this made Alvarez scared.
Alvarez then looks at Rogen and asks, " Can we go home now, I think I peed my pants. "
Rogen smiled and spoke, " No! "
Rogen turns to look at the corner of the room, he notices a little girl, he then moved closer to the direction of the little girl. Alvarez holds tightly to Rogen"s arms as he was very scared of the situation.
As Rogen got near to the girl, he notices a blond hair and pointed ears. He immediately yelled at the girl, which made the girl sobbing looked at him, as the girl looks at Rogen.
Rogen then notices the green eyes of the girl, Rogen finally found the girl that matches the description of the girl, he was looking for.
But before this Rogen had to confirm something before, he will take the girl with him. Rogen immediately asks the girl, " Excuse me, girl, how old are you? "
The girl replied to Rogen, " I"m twenty-seven years old. "
Rogen then asks the girl about Venus, " Then do you know, about a girl who saved you. "
The little elf girl had a glow in her eyes and replied to Rogen, " Is miss Venus alright, I still need to say thank you to her, after saving me. "
Rogen then spoke in a soft and calming voice, " Don"t worry about her I a.s.sure you, that she is alright, and she was also the one who asked for help to find you. "
The little elf girl spoke to Rogen, " I see. "
Rogen then told the asks the little girl, " What is your name, little one? "
The little girl replied, " Lilica is my name. "
Rogen then said these words to the little elf girl, "That"s a beautiful name, now then let"s go meet Venus, and say your thanks to her. "
The little elf girl named Lilica followed Rogen, she was a distance away from Rogen and Alvarez. Because she was still scared of the two of them.
The two went back to where Venus and Rogen parted ways to look for Lilica.
Venus was still searching Lilica, she was in an alleyway this time again. The figure who was following Venus suddenly pulls a dagger. Venus did not notice the figure behind her as she was still busy looking for the girl.
The figure slowly raised up the dagger and starts to plunge into the unsuspecting Venus. The hands of the figure were suddenly stopped by, Robert. Venus who heard a struggling man behind him turns around. She was surprised after seeing Robert stopping a man holding a dagger.
Venus asked Robert with a combination of surprised and scared voice, " What are you doing here Robert? And who is that? "
Robert replied to Venus, " You didn"t notice someone was following you. This man is trying to kill you isn"t it obvious. "
Roberts headb.u.t.ted the figure making the figure stunned for a few seconds, but Robert did not let this chance slipped so he immediately proceeds another attack. Robert punches the figure into his diaphragm, this made the figure unable to breathe and lost consciousness.
Robert then pulled Venus and stage her out of the place. The two started to run where Venus parted ways with Rogen.
