They got home and quickly laid Kado on bed as Thawn paced back and fro the house gathering ingredients to treat Kado.
'He's healing very slow', Max noticed worriedly
'Burn it out,' Daryl said convincingly looking at Thawn straight in the eye.
'Are you kidding!?, Do you think he can survive the burn?,' Thawn snapped at him but deep down he knew if not anything that's what they will eventually do in the end.
'Can we get a doctor or something?, Sam asked. 'I think he's bleeding internally', he added as he checked Kado personally
'Precisely around his liver', Daryl sniffed. 'He's been hurt many times, and by the use of the Silver, it had weakened his healing', he stated casually.
'Fuck!! I already owe Grey ,he may choose not to help me.' Thawn said. ' Besides, he's weak too. I need to check on him after Kado is feeling good again', he thought
'Does Grey has a doctor?,Sam asked having an idea how to deal with the situation. They can't go to hospital because the way a werewolf body reacts to treatment so as to avoid questions of all sort they needed to refrain from going there.
'Yes. And she is very knowledgeable.', Thawn replied and hopes she will be able to help them as he knew her through Grey and based on how things went between him and Grey it's likely she's got a wind of it.
'You gat to ask him for the favor.', Max said.
'You said he's in a bad shape, why won't he call her?', Daryl asked.
'Because Grey has a talent in Ego and Pride. He doesn't like asking for help from who he usually helps and some history shit I don't know about happened between the two, and moreover I don't know how she will react when she's sees me', Thawn said with a depressed expression.
'You better seek her. Your brother is close to dying from these wounds', Daryl said sniffing again.

A car was moving at an average speed and in it were there people, a male and two females. Out of them all, the male was in control of the wheel, in the person of Luke.
'Who is he helping? Caitlin asked curiously
'He's helping Thawn', Gina replied.
'Thawn?', Caitlin asked raising her eye brows. 'How is that so?', she added further.
'Seems they have something they are helping each other on', Luke sighed.
'Why would Grey be working with him despite all what happened', Caitlin questioned. 'I believe he must have a reason', she added.
They further discussed other things not pertaining to why Grey was hurt until suddenly Luke swerved the car to the other lane in order to avoid hitting a man then after that he could see another black van, he quickly matched the brakes.
'Whats happening!?', Caitlin asked half terrified
'I think we are ambushed', he grunted and got down. He walked over to the van and a guy in good came down to meet him.
'You are to come with us', the guy said with a coarse voice
'Says who? Luke questioned.
'Dont fuckin ask me dumb questions!,' the guy gritted. Meanwhile in the car, Gina was trying to get some weapon and she wanted to get down to fight the man.
'Dont do anything rash, Gina!,' Caitlin whispered almost furiously holding her. Then two men came and knocked the mirror motioning for Gina to get down and she did leaving only Caitlin in the car.
'We have a word with you two', the hooded guy said and they were dragged into the Van and the driver drove away.

Fauge walked among the ruins and several men wriggling their body in pain while others were motionless and had several cut in the chest. He could also see his left hand man Savvy who had his ribs cage broken and when he looked closely he could see one or two of his ribs have been removed. He didn't prepare for this. He had captured several humans and tried the bite on them but they died and they didn't turn as he thought, he personally haven't seen the BITTEN, but if he was the one that caused these ruins, then definitely he should be on his side.
'I have to get hold of him. Maybe I can use him to create other BITTEN', he thought.
Holding Savvy up who was still breathing haggardly,
'Did the BITTEN did these?,' he asked. It took some several minutes before Savvy could reply.
'He....has.....a...vam...', was all Savvy could say before his breathing suddenly stopped and his glowing eyes died down. 'Damn!', Fauge growled and dropped him. 'Did he mean vampire? How is that possible? He thought.
'Clean this place up!',he ordered and his men quickly got into action. He made it a point in his mind to get the BITTEN with all he has. Then his right hand man came beside him.
'We have a total of 25 casualties sir. 18 wounded and 7 men dead', the right hand man Jodi reported.
'We have to get him no matter what. They must not die in vain',Fauge said and his eyes flashed.
**†**
'Yeah.' Thawn said looking at his brother. He didn't know Fauge would go this far. And how he knew about the BITTEN really surprised him. There must be an inside man for Fauge who is really smart enough to get the information. For a moment, he even doubted maybe Kado told him but he has to treat him first to know for sure.
'Luke and Gina went to bring Caitlin to treat me', Grey said and before he could say anything more. The door flung open and Caitlin walked in. She went straight to Grey and gave him a glare while she threw eye daggers at Thawn who became uncomfortable and stepped back.
'Thanks for coming', Grey said.
'Yeah. And I think we've got a problem', She said looking at her bag.
'Where is Luke...Gina?,' Grey asked. And Thawns ears pickled.
'They have been kidnapped', Caitlin said remorsefully.
'Didnt you help them?,' Grey asked.
'i didn't. It was a voluntary kidnapping. It seems the kidnapper knows you or something. They didn't take me,and they didn't fight either. They just asked both of them have a word', Caitlin explained.
'The kidnapper wants to use them to get me', Grey said. Who could this kidnapper be? He wondered. Then Thawn cleared his throat.
'I really needed your help too on my brother. Maybe we can figure who kidnapped them together', he proposed.
'Am not helping you!', Caitlin shot back at him.
'You...you..have to, Caitlin please. I need his help to get them back truly. I can't do it alone, not even with my condition', Grey said. Caitlin dropped and sighed.
'Okay,' she murmured. And then Thawn laid Kado on the sofa near Grey's bed.
'Thank you for this. I will pay you back in a way.' Thawn said. 'Can I get both Luke's and Gina's clothes to trace their scent?
**†**
Luke and Gina were in an underground dungeon. They could see well in that place because it had some fire illuminating the whole place. They were tied down by a chain. As they were contemplating who their kidnapper maybe they could hear sounds of footsteps approaching them then a man with a hart could be seen. He had a wide grin on his face and was holding a Cigar on his right hand then a sword on his left hand with two other people coming with him.
When he reached their side, they were greeted by smokes of the Cigar of the last puff he took. Then he took off his hart and a side of his face could be seen. He moved forward to them and they could his full face with the scar.
'Uncle Xery', both gasped and Xery smiled scornfully. 'My nephew and niece. Sorry we had to meet like this', he added.
'What happened?,' Luke said. 'Why did you have to do this!?', He demanded
'You didn't know what I passed through after those Monsters killed my sister', he said and touched his scar.
'It wasn't our fault. We were young and naive then,we don't know much then', Gina protested joining her brother and both were quite pissed off.
'Am not blaming you. But you have been walking with those I call my enemy. And a friend of my enemy is also my enemy', he said walking a little closer to them.
'What do you mean? Luke asked. Then Xery pulled an envelope from his inner pocket and removed some pictures from the envelope and flaunt it in front of the siblings, his nephew and niece.
'These are our school friends. They are not....', Luke said but Xery cut him short.
'Are they?.....only one way to find out', he said and an evil smirk showed on his face.
