Boom!!
The restaurant wakes in flames unexpectedly. Ryan was quick to teleport him and Hartley outside while going back inside to help the others. The flames sorts to escalate the whole place, Ryan entrance relinquishes the flames giving everyone in the restaurant enough time to evacuate the place.
Ryan probes for where the assault would have come from. He couldn't get anything even when he switched to his esoteric vision. "What the hell just happened?",
Evacuation was nearly done but it starts again outside. The vehicles began exploding one by one. The booming sound again and a wave creaked out of it ,sweeping the field.
Individuals running to their vehicles were repelled back by the wave. Hartley on the other was no where close to the detonating vehicles. Although her SUV was close.
Ryan sped to her side and shielded her with his overcoat , having known the SUV would join the detonating crew. The car parts flung here and there but Hartley was safe.
Whatsoever caused the unknown fire was unknown and absurd that Ryan couldn't bring himself down to the fact that he couldn't catch whoever was behind it.
He withdrawn from his shield position after everything settled. He looks around but finds nothing that could explain the cause. Hartley on the other receives a phone call.
"Umh Ma'am... there's a problem. Am calling from Daren Junior High..."
"Oh...", she recognize who was speaking immediately she heard 'Daren Junior High.' "What the matter? did my Richard get into a fight again?"
Ryan still probed the field for answers, police were around and unfortunately no one could see him. A ghost in the midst. He comes across one of the car plates that were still burning with words written on it. They indicated symbols though and he wasn't a fan of it. He kept it within his premise[ his overcoat ] and hurried back to where Hartley was.
She was on the verge of falling apart but Ryan got to her in time time. Holding her. "What wrong with you?"
"Rich.. Richard.."
+++++++++
'Two attacks at the same time, obviously this ain't normal!.' , Ryan stood in one corner of the police department analyzing everything that happened earlier. Hartley sat down on the iron bench, the police were all working together trying to get to the bottom of the case.
'These attacks must have been staged! one must have to keep me preoccupied investigating what started the flames while they kidnapped little Richard... why Richard? and who staged this?!'
Turning to where Hartley was sobbing. The police force weren't doing anything that seems promising that they would find Richard anytime soon. And since no one could see him he walks over to Hartley and squats in front of the depressed mother. "I will be gone for some hours... don't go anywhere. I will be back with Richard before you know it."
Immediately he sped out of the police department with a feeble wind chasing after him leaving an impression of a strong wind that had made it way into the department but Hartley knew better , but she was far from being okay. She worried on telling Alexander about their child.
How would he react?, what will he do if had to hear of this? everything banged against her hand. There was no solution as she could overhear the cops speaking to one another. "The surveillance camera had nothing that could bring us to the kidnapper... for all we saw Richard suddenly vanished after screaming.
She blinks, leaking out the tears in her sockets. "It over..."

|Daren Junior High|
Ryan walks through the door , scanning the place for anything that could lead to Richard's kidnapper. He locates Richards' seat and moves towards it. His esoteric vision turns on he looks down catching footprints that were invisible. Invisible to the human eyes and their technology but not to his vision. 'Norferastu..', he uttered in realization to who was here. "Agathe Winchester... I killed her didn't I? or did someone bring her back? if anyone brought her back it had to be the count himself... but what does he want Richard for?."
++
Seated on his throne with the cave, the count grimaced at Richard who was all tied up. Agathe stood amongst the other fellow vampires that littered the cave. Richard was scared, he wanted his mom... he wanted his dad and he was no where getting a hold of 'em.
The count gets up , approaching the little boy.
Fangs protracting. He picks the little boy up ad brought him closer to his face. "You are the final ingredient I need to grow much stronger than this weaklings serving me... Your father wouldn't mind would he? besides I promised to settle the scores between us and now!... I will settle it, with your death!"
Snap!
++++++++++++++
Ryan paced into Agathe apartment but he found nothing related to Richard. Instead he found old notes that told about the count. In addition to what he was looking for he found something in the notes.
'The Counts Next Stop'
He reads through, leaving no words left behind. "...what?", he shivered after reading everything. He held the notes, keeping them in his overcoat. "A lot is happening at the moment... and I can't figure the solution to all right now.",
"Maybe if you stopped doing solo and relayed more on family; you would have gotten pass this crisis you are in.", he heard right, then he heard another voice apart from the one he heard.
"...Never mind Jefferson, we will just have to get involved ourselves... beside it the count we are talking about."
Ryan rolls his eyeballs , he turns to both speakers. "Oh dear brothers... enough of the taunts! if you want to help then let get to it... a childs' life is at stake here."
Two shadows inundated the ground approaching Ryan. Revealing to belong to two masculine figures , twins to the exact. The only differentiating them was their black and white jet hair. Same with their irises. Both fair skinned like Ryan.
"Alright... were do we start?"
