Chapter 16 - Finding the truth

Walking along the busy streets were three individuals. The first was a blonde with short hair, the other two with him were a boy with flat brown hair and a girl with waist length hair.

"Where are we going?" Oscar asked, Jane following closely behind him not to get lost in the crowd.

"Will you calm down please? It's not like we're going to kill someone, just sneak into their house." Larry said, looking around to make sure no one had heard him.

"Fine, but at the first sign of danger I'm taking Jane and we're gone. You get me?!" Oscar stated, grabbing Larry's should, turning him and looking dead in his eyes as he finished his sentence.

"You have my word Oscar there will be no danger, I promise." Larry said, not blinking even once as he made that promise to Oscar.

"Now, we have some information from a reliable source that he won't be home for a while so let's just go and try to find something that looks like evidence." Larry said.

Shrugging Oscar's hand off of his shoulder. "I'm sorry but this seems a little wrong to me. Don't you think something would have already happened if he really was working for the other side?" Oscar said, making sure he voiced his opinion to Larry.

"I'm not sure, but if the boss wants us to look into this matter shouldn't we do this task without hesitation?" Larry asked, stopping in the middle of the sidewalk.

Jane who had been silent up to this point tapped Oscar on the shoulder and whispered something inaudible to Larry in his ear. "Fine, I'll help you Larry, but only because Jane asked me to make sure you didn't do anything stupid." Oscar replied.

Continuing the trek to the designated point, they had walked by multiple people who were rushing around the downtown area carrying briefcases and talking on their phones making their way from their homes to their jobs and Vice Versa.

"I wish we could have been as lucky as some of these people, going to their menial jobs not even thinking of the dangers we have to face outside of the city." Oscar said, watching all the people walk by.

"Just ignore them Oscar, they live in an entirely different world than us. If they would see the horror of monsters just one time they would end up in shock." Larry said, pushing past a group of people waiting at the edge of the crosswalk.

The rest of the way to their destination was fairly silent. A few people could be seen here and there but it was getting rather uneventful the closer they got. Finally though Larry stopped at a big iron gate.

"This is the place. Now all I want you to do is stand watch and come to alert me if anyone starts to approach the house." Larry said, speaking directly to Oscar.

Larry fixed his special clothing and walked right through the gate as if it wasn't even there. Once he was passed the gate he made his way to the front door. Silently creeping forwards looking around to make sure that there weren't any security guards that would try to stop him.

However much to his suprise there hadn't been any security guards to speak of, or even staff of the home for that matter. When he finally made it to the door however he noticed something peculiar, the door was already broke open. It was as if something very large had rammed into the door and slammed into it.

Peeking inside he seen that everything was a wreck the tables were smashed, the furniture was torn apart, the drawers were strewn about their contents scattered on the floor. There was glass all over the floor where picture frames had been knocked off of shelves and stands.

'Did he send someone in before us to find what he was looking for,' Larry thought. Phasing through the broken door, as not to disturb it, he walked into the home and looked around for anything that wasn't broken or torn apart. He expertly avoided stepping on anything that could show that there had been another intruder in the home. 'What could have done this a growth power,' He thought staring at all the damage done to the inside of the house while still searching for anything that could be used to clear up any suspicion or prove guilt. In the end though he had found nothing of interest to his cause.

However he came across one room that looked like it had been intentionally left undisturbed. 'What's the worst that could happen,' Larry thought, taking one step forwards into the room. He seen a small cresent shaped object, he slid it into his pocket and stood back up. In the next moment he heard a *Woosh* come from behind him, he turned around and then.

"Larry we gotta go!" Oscar shouted grabbing ahold of Larry.

At That exact moment however there were three blacked out SUV's heading to the exact same location of the group. Oscar instantly grabbed hold of Jane's hand and asked, "Are you ready?"

She of course nodded and in an instant they were right at the front door of the home. They both looked inside and then looked at each other shocked. "Larry's power is to phase through solid objects right?" Oscar asked, looking at Jane as he asked the question.

To which she nodded with widened eyes as she couldn't believe the path of destruction before them. As the two looked back into the house they started blinking from place to place within eyesight of the two. When they finally found Larry he was standing in the middle of an untouched room.

Reaching out to grab Larry who had seemingly just registered the presence of the other two Oscar shouted, "Larry we gotta go!"

Warping to a familiar place the other two took the time to recompose themselves after warping so many times they were physically and mentally tired. Larry however never having experienced going through a warp fell to his knees and emptied his stomach contents onto the ground.

"What was... *hurg*... that for?!" Larry said, trying to shout intimidatingly but failed due to an impromptu hurl.

"We're sorry for that Larry but some people showed up a few minutes after you entered the house, we had to get out of there." Oscar said, moving Jane behind him incase Larry became aggressive.

"Only one person knew about us going there to find information and that's Director Wallen." Larry said, seemingly having gained his composure.

'What could he be hiding,' Larry thought. "Thank you both for helping me escape when you could have just left me there to take the fall, I am indebted to you." He said, bowing to the duo.

"Don't mention it, but tell me something did you do all of that back there?" Oscar asked.

"No, that wasn't my doing but I may have found something far more interesting." Larry said, pulling the object out of is pocket.

"What is that supposed to be?" Oscar asked.

"It's a claw from something, and I'm betting it's from whoever or whatever was there before we were. Now it's our turn to ask for some answers." Larry said
