Reina looks confused as the woman hints at whatever Ptelea and Dem must be. "What?" She asks plainly, glancing between them. "What types of people? We're normal!"

Brianna picks up a microphone and begins to talk into it. "Oh! Ambrose! What a surprise! I guess you're wondering why the four of us are in this situation, hmm? Well, you see, since you've gone and escaped our grasp we thought it only fitting to continue experimenting on somehow of your kin. Genetics and all that, you know?" She picks up a syringe from nearby. "Hunter, how do you feel about blood extraction?"
The Boss looks sadly at Ambrose. "My son, I have my best people on the job!" He scratches his head worriedly. "But these people, they need information to strike..."
"Oh Hunter, I hardly believe him yet." Brianna's face is pitiful for just a moment at Ptelea's situation but her love for science takes over. "Hunter, take the blood."
"My son..." The Boss murmurs quietly to Ambrose. "I think you should look away now."

The woman grins maliciously. "Oh sweet child. Dem and Ptelea can shift into an animal." She looks sympathetically at her. "And from what I can tell, you can't." She moves to block the door. "And now that you know that information, I can't let you leave."
<Snipped quote by Hawksnest565>
Hunter nods to Brianna, "It shouldn't be too hard." He answers clearly for the video, holding Ptelea up.
<Snipped quote by Fionraella>
Reina pales as the lady moves to block the door. "But... why? They're not hurting anyone. Just let us go, please." She glances at Dem fearfully.
<Snipped quote by wallaberry>
Dem shakes his head at her. "I can't go Reina, the woman knows that. She wants something else from me."
The woman smirks at Reina's fear. She then nods at Dem. "You're right, I want your blood. A small amount will do. I'm taking the girl with me once I'm done though. She knows too much, and I'm sure my higher-ups can think of some use for her."
<Snipped quote by Fionraella>
Reina shakes her head. "I'm not going anywhere with you!" She states defiantly. This woman definitely scared Reina, and she wasn't sure of any of the situation. It was just too sketchy.
<Snipped quote by wallaberry>
Ptelea begins crying. "Rosey!" She sobs, struggling to get away. The knife at her face and the syringe were scary enough, but she had never seen Ambrose look so broken and so tired. She could see the injuries on his face and that frightened her. "Rosey!" She cries again. "Brother, please!"
Reina weighs what the woman said, but saw Dem's command. She takes her chance as the lady moves to the cabinet and runs for the door, unlocking it and then throwing it open. Ptelea would have to wait just a moment.
Hunter nods, setting the knife down and reaching for the syringe. He goes to take Ptelea's blood, despite her moving. This would definitely affect Ambrose's abilities to process commands as he became upset at the sight of the girl.
Nadia continues walking, hands at her sides. The forest was awfully silent and she enjoyed it. It was a nice change from the usual fighting and arguing she would come across, given the two groups of kids.

The Boss places the laptop on the floor of Ambrose's room and stands up. "Ambrose, it might take us a while to find these people." He hesitates, like he wants to keep Ambrose calm. "Ah, but I only mean... maybe a few hours tops?" He stares down at the laptop. "I know I haven't respected your wishes in the past but, well, I know how important your sister is to you. I'd take this laptop away from you otherwise but it should be your choice."
Brianna walks away, the sight of red blood filling the the clear syringe being less comforting than usual. She picks up a notepad and writes the reaction of Ambrose to his sister's experience. Perhaps shifting siblings were closer than normal ones? It was quite baseless conjecture, but one she'd like to explore.
<Snipped quote by Hawksnest565>
Ambrose looks at the Boss, pain in his eyes. "A...few hours??" He shakes his head, trembling. "You need to find her. NOW!" He shouts angrily. "My sister is the most important person in my life. I made the mistake of leaving her behind before, but not again. You will find her, or else you will lose whatever trust you have gained." He says fiercely.
<Snipped quote by Fionraella>
"Ambrose!" The boss speaks strongly. "You make unreasonable demands! You think I can make the rain stop if you ask it of me?" He takes a breath to calm himself down. "You do not think I'm doing everything in my power to save her? You don't think I understand the importance of family." He taps his cane on the ground a few times. "It's a few hours tops. I told you, my best men are on it." The sound of tapping fills the room. "Information can help save her. Where did they find your sister? They can't have gone far from there."
<Snipped quote by Hawksnest565>
ambrose glares at the old man. "Unreasonable demands my ass." He scowls, then cross his arms. He shivers a bit, before looking away, before sighing heavily. "They probably found her near our foster home..." He describes the town where Dem was. "Outside the town there's a foster home with at least 10 kids. A couple lives there, the Vilks." He nods slowly. "That's where Ptelea and I ended up when our dad started drinking.." He looks back at the Boss sadly. "Please...find my sister."

The Boss nods a couple of times and then pulls out his phone. He types in the details and pretends to send it off to his 'experts'. What he actually sends is a message to a group of security guards who were waiting outside the warehouse which says Decrease rescue time by one hour. "I'm sure this will help them, Ambrose," he says as he tucks the phone back into his pocket. "Sharing information is a guaranteed way to assist with situations like this."
