Elijah could almost be compared to a wanderer since he's been going around the city aimlessly. Not even his siblings could account for his location, but they were sure of one thing, he was safe. They would have gotten a notice by now if he had been captured by the enemy.
He finally returned to his apartment and was in the process of inputting his code when the hairs on his arms stood on edge. Something was not right, he spun on his heels only for a bag to be placed over his head, and he couldn't see a thing. Elijah fought them, but there were two of them and he was overpowered in no time.
He was in deep shit, Elijah realized at the last minute. He should have known they had been laying in wait for him, if he wasn't distracted. Elijah knew that he had been a wreck lately, having lost the desire to move on with his life after Adele rejected him. He felt empty, like there was this hollow feeling in his chest that couldn't be filled up no matter how much he tried.
