He stood on top of the air craft as if not affected by the wind. He had a smile on his face with his head lowered. Twirly moustache didn't need to be up close to know who it was. Anyone who had been with the supernaturals know of the supernatural called 'Blackman.'

Aella's eyes widened in shock as she laid eyes on a certain human whom appeared with the chief. Her surprised face turned into an elated one. She looked extremely happy.
"Blackman! He's here, I mean there! But how and why?" She asked moving closer to the live video she was watching. Small devices, too small to be noticed during the tension between the police and the kidnappers were been used to display what was happening to Aella and Rasmus.
"Rasmus, you can see him there, can't you?" She asked.
"Of course, I can." He responded.
"You don't seem surprised."
"That's because I'm the one who told him to handle this." He responded. "Actually, he wanted to. He found out the rulers had assigned you a task, so he wanted to help."
Aella's smile only grew knowing he came out because he heard about her.
********
"B-Blackman? Why?! Why would he choose to come out from whatever hole he crawled into at this moment?!" The man piloting the flying vehicle that carried the children inwardly cursed seeing Blackman in front of him.
Blackman took his head up and looked at Twirly moustache with the smile unfading.
"I might as well just give up now." Twirls thought. Before that option could be explored, Blackman bolted off the top of the aircraft into the sky. In less than a second, he fell back and slammed into twirly moustache.
Blackman, Twirly moustache, and the little girl crashed into the vehicle. The next thing that was seen was parts of the vehicle breaking off. Bangs followed by vibrations of the vehicle were all that were noticed.
"What is he doing?! I hope the children aren't getting hurt." The chief said worriedly.
He didn't even stay in the vehicle for two minutes and the vehicle slowly started falling from the sky. Its speed then increased as it fell.
"What the?" The police thought watching what was happening. They looked at the almost destroyed vehicle in fear for the loss of the children they were supposed to get back. The fear immediately vanished as they saw Blackman in the air with the children behind him and eighteen badly beaten men in total.
"Finally, they are caught."
********
"The smile that had been missing from the faces of the people has finally been returned as the masterminds behind the numerous missing cases has finally been caught. Our sources say the supernatural Blackman returned and helped the police in nabbing the perpetrators. Joy has returned to the hearts of many for their children have been returned to them. A lot of families are now reunited."
"The men are currently in the police custody undergoing questioning to find out more about the rest of the children. Is it child trafficking, slavery? Wherever they are, whatever reason they were taken for will be revealed to us soon. This is FNX news bringing the latest happenings in society."
Soon as the news ended, Justina turned off the tv. She was gladdened by the news. "M-Malakai, you will be found, yes? Windham, you, you are not dead, right?" A tear almost fell from her eyes but she tried to control it. She wasn't going to cry anymore or feel saddened, she would wait and hope for her son and husband to return.
She had already been told by Alfred's mother that both men died that night. Alfred himself had admitted to witnessing it. Still, she refused to accept it, saying her husband and her son would return.

"So far everything has gone smoothly. Perhaps, you can handle a few things." Rasmus commended Aella.
"Perhaps? I can definitely handle things. I also won't deny the part you played in all this," she responded. "You make everything easy."
The video footage had long ended. The cloned children had been sent home, different news channels passed on the good news to the people. The world couldn't celebrate just yet. Only the recently kidnapped children were returned. What happened to the rest? They still needed answers.
Aella took in a deep breath and then sighed. "I will be going home now," she said and got up.
"So early? That's unusual. You don't enjoy my company?" Rasmus questioned with fake sobbing.
"I am tired. Also, you have never been of good company," she yawned and got up from her chair.
"Ouch." He placed his right arm on his chest as if hurt. "Let me at least take you home."
"No."
"Your mood is suddenly sour, what's wrong?"
"How were you able to find Blackman? He disappeared for three years and shows up now. I am sure he would just leave again and I won't even get to meet him. You, why did you dig him up from the hole he was hiding in?"
"Wait, you're upset with me? He disappeared and appeared as he wished. It was more like he found me than I found him. And, who says you won't meet him?" He raised a brow.
Her glum look brightened up when she heard his last sentence. "You know where he is now? Will you take me to him?"
"You said I'm of bad company, so I won't take you to him." Rasmus huffed and folded his arms just like she always would. He always acted a bit childish whenever he was with her due to her nature.
"Wha- I didn't mean it. You are the best person to be with." She said and ran to where he sat. "You can take me home too if you wish. In fact, I won't go home now, I will stay with you. Please take me to him." She pleaded making the cutest face she could. Rasmus pretended to be looking while inwardly admiring what was in front of him.
"Silly," he said and pulled her cheeks. "I was only joking. Of course I'll take you to him." He smiled and received an even brighter smile from her.
"Thank you!" She shrieked and jumped on him, embracing him in a tight hug. Rasmus froze for a moment before reciprocating the hug. He couldn't remember the last time she hugged him so he was taken aback a bit.
"Come on, we should go before he disappears again," He said as he let go and so did she.
