Once Umbra arrived at the New York airport at noon, he felt uneasy, and he didn't know the reason. Usually, if an umbra felt restless, it means something happened to the 'owner.'
Thinking of this possibility, Umbra immediately took his cellphone and contacted Katie. He was increasingly worried because Katie did not quickly pick up the phone.
Umbra called a taxi and headed straight for Katie's apartment. He has a spare key so he could open the apartment door easily.
"Kei! Kei!" the Umbra rushed in and looked for Katie at each end of her apartment room.
'Kei! Kei!' the sound of a red Macau bird came from outside, now knocking on the apartment's window with its beak.
Umbra immediately opened the window, letting the red macaw bird flew inside. Umbra was increasingly suspicious of his pet flying nervously and did not want to land.
"Where is Kei?" demanded Umbra to the red macaw.
'Kei! Kei red king! Kei red king! '
At first, he did not understand the meaning of the words of his pet bird. Then he heard a rumble of thunder outside.
Today's weather forecast was supposed to be sunny and hot. Why is it suddenly cloudy?
Ba-thump!
Umbra felt his heart stopped beating when he realized something. Katie's seal had broken. Katie is in danger!
The red macaw bird rapidly flew through the same window. Without thinking, the Umbra leaped after the bird without concern to the surprised glances of the neighbors.
Unfortunately, he could not jump over very tall buildings. There were also no trees that could be a jumping spot.
In the end, he stole someone's car and turned on his watch. There was a tracking device that was tied at the feet of his macaw. He could follow it through his watch that connected to a tracking device at the bird's feet.
The red macaw bird called Captain was an exceptional bird that could track the red queen's power. Only when the power was active could the Captain track her down. If not, then the bird also could not find the exact position of Katie.
After traveling for hours, Umbra arrived at an ancient brick house located in a remote town.
Umbra smiled, knowing that many trees surrounded the house. He immediately climbed into the tree, and his eyes looked for the figure of his pet.
The sky was dark, and Umbra knew nothing about the enemy. Even though he was anxious about Katie, he could still be patient and strategize his plan. At a time like this, he should not act rashly.
At precisely two in the morning, Umbra saw a black car entered the mansion. He saw a man carrying an unconscious girl on his shoulder. That person brought the girl like he was carrying a sack.
Umbra could not see the girl's face because it was covered with her hair hanging down. But he was very familiar with the hair color.
Catherine West.
Why did they kidnap Catherine West?
After waiting patiently for the sun to rise, the macaw bird finally approached him.
'Down, eight. Ahead, ten. Rear, safe.' the red bird exclaimed, bowing its head into the umbra neck recess.
"Where is Kei?"
'Under.'
Umbra understands its meaning. Katie was taken in an underground room guarded by eight people. While the front side of the mansion was watched by ten people and the back was not guarded.
He could infiltrate through the back door unnoticed.
"Did you find out where the weapons are stored?"
'...' The bird moved his head like a robot towards the front then up, then to the side before finally nodding its head several times then shaking its head.
"Just say you don't know." Umbra clicked in annoyance.
Then the bird flew towards the top of the house while Umbra jumped to another tree until he landed on the ground.
Umbra made it in without making any noise. His ears and eyes were extremely wide-awake around him. Then he listened to the guards' conversation and got a clue where he could steal their weapons.
With his acumen, he walked into the weapons storage room unnoticed. After that, he hid and mingled, wearing uniforms worn by the mansion guards.
He walked casually without fear of getting caught because of his 'disguise.' But he also avoided the guards so that he did not need to communicate with them.
Umbra managed to find the room where Katie and Catherine were held. He entered the next room and listened to what they were talking about.
His forehead frowned at the kidnapper learned of Katie's identity as the 'Red Queen.' Umbra did not move and waited there. He waited for the right time to save Katie.
When he heard the sounds of dozens of people entering and about to rape Katie, he could not stay silent.
Umbra came out immediately into the next room and fired the bullet right into their foreheads without mercy. He was not affected by the amount that ganged up at him. He did not even feel any pain when someone sliced him with a knife or a bullet scraping his shoulder.
His movement and reflexes in anticipating attacks were not slow at all. And in a short time, Umbra managed to kill them all.
Umbra directly approached Katie, who was already unconscious. His eyes filled with anger and deep hatred, seeing the poor girl's body.
He saw the girl since she was a baby. He saw her grown, and he also took part in caring for her. He already thought that Katie was his family. He did not see Katie as his 'owner' but as a member of his family. This child is like his own daughter.
Who would have the heart to hurt his daughter so cruelly?!
