"Stop stop stop!!!!" Ashley shouted from her seat. The bus driver slowly stop at the street and Ashley run towards the other side of the road. Matthew followed from behind after he said sorry to the bus driver for a sudden stop.
"It's here! The dog!" Ashley pointed at a grey bulldog who was sitting at the stairs. The stairs was going up to the hill which located a small shrine.
"Is this Kevin's dog?" Asked Matthew. Ashley was sniffing the dog and the dog just sit there looking at her.
"I don't know. Let's go uphill." Ashley rushed to the hill. Her stamina is no joke. Matthew almost lose his step from climbing the stairs. It has been 20 hours since they started searching for Kevin. The bulldog also followed them from behind.
"Okay okay. He's close. In the shrine?" Ashley tried to take a step closer to the shrine as she smell a strong omega scent coming from the shrine. Since the smell is too strong, she does not know exactly where Kevin's hiding. Suddenly the grey bulldog they just met passed her from behind and run towards behind the shrine.
"Wait for me!" Ashley said while running to catch up with the bulldog.
"Ashley... Slow down please.." Matthew has just arrived at the shrine's entrance.
Behind the shrine place, there was a small wooden hut. The grey bulldog entered the hut in between the wooden hole. Ashley was lurking inside the hut from the hole and saw a boy in his uniform was lying on the ground.
"Kevin!" Ashley has to block her nose with her arms because Kevin's scent is too strong. Luckily she bring her brother's suppressant pill in case of emergency. Matthew stopped his step behind her. He also smell the scent and got dizzy.
"Wait here okay. I have to let him eat the pill first." Ashley ask Matthew to stay outside the hut. It may be dangerous especially for the young alphas to meet the young omega in heat. They never know what will happen and the risk to take is high.
Matthew break the door lock with his foot and Ashley entered the hut carefully. Looks like Kevin has been hiding in the hut for a while. He was fainted because of the severe heat he suffered.
"Kevin.. Wake up." Ashley slowly woke him up. A few shake made Kevin startled and opened his eyes. He saw a bright face in front of him.
"Can you swallow this first?" Ashley feed the pill into Kevin's mouth and the mineral water for him. Ashley checked his condition and make sure that Kevin is alright. The bulldog barked at Kevin when he sit up.
"He saved my life." Kevin pointed at the bulldog.
People might smell his scent from a close distant and try to take advantage of him. Luckily the bulldog was guarding him and not let anyone came near the hut. The bulldog was his savior. Ashley was imagining that if the bulldog was not protecting Kevin, he might end up like her brother. The most regretful thing that she has ever done was not protecting her brother when he was at his weakest point. She would never want the worst thing to happen again especially to people around her.
"I'm glad you're okay." Ashley cried sobbingly beside Kevin. She was so glad that she found Kevin. Kevin smiled.
"Thank you for saving me." He patted on Ashley's shoulder, and then he patted on the bulldog's head.
Suddenly Matthew entered the hut after a while. Kevin saw him and greet him with a smile. He signed to Matthew to look after Ashley who was still crying on her knee. Matthew walked closely towards Ashley from behind and rubbed her back slowly. He tried to console her but for no reason Ashley turned towards him and hugged him tightly. Matthew and Kevin were shocked but remain calm. Ashley cry more in Matthew's arm and he tried to console her that it is okay now.

Matthew, Ashley and Kevin went to Matthew's place. They agreed to let Kevin stay at Matthew's place for a safety reason. On their way back home in the bus, Ashley bled her nose again.
"Stop sniffing. You're going to get dizzy again." Matthew took out more tissue from his bag.
"It's okay. This will be the final blood drop my nose. We finally found Kevin!" Ashley felt happy. She arm hugged Kevin and made Kevin startled.
"Do I have to hide again?" Asked Kevin.
"No. You don't have to hide. You have us now." Ashley gave her promise.
They have arrived at the bus station. Kevin and Matthew get off from the bus and waved Ashley a goodbye.
"See you tomorrow at school!" Ashley shouted.
"Bye!" Kevin waved his hand.
Once the bus has disappeared from their sight, they walked on the pathway to Matthew's low cost apartment. It is not far from the bus station.
While in the bus, Ashley has forgotten something. She forgot to give the suppressant pills to Kevin. If Kevin having a heat again, he might not able to withstand it. Ashley got up from her seat and push a stop button.
"I want to drop off here!" She said.
As Kevin was following Matthew from behind, they arrived at the apartment. Kevin saw a few black cars parking in front of the entrance.
"Do gangster live here too?" Kevin tried to throw a joke when suddenly Matthew stopped his step. Kevin was a bit shocked.
"Why? Do you forgetting something?" Asked Kevin.
"It is hard to find you without Ashley's help. Do you know how hard we struggle because of people like you?" Asked Matthew who was still facing his back at Kevin.
"What do you mean?" Kevin still did not understand.
Suddenly, people who looks like gangster get off from the black cars. There was a gang of them around 15 peoples wearing a black suit.
"What the heck.. Matthew, let's run. There are gangster.." Kevin stuttered. Matthew slowly turned to Kevin. He looked different when he let down his hair. Matthew he saw at school with a calm face now showed his mischievous face expression. He looks scary.
"What the heck?! Are you one of them?" Asked Kevin.
"Yes. Indeed. Now be a good boy and go to bed." Matthew throws a punch at Kevin's face and Kevin fall on the ground, losing his conscious.
