Chapter 45 Looking for Him

"Did you find him?" Rue asked with an earpiece on her left ear. Their earpiece is connected to hers, while the camera is installed to her laptop. 
"Not yet." She hears Demitri answered. She sees from the screen a crowded place with shops at the corner based on the angle of the camera. 
"What does he looks like?" She heard Atreus speaks.
"He's skinny and tall with a neck length black hair." Demitri described. The camera started moving towards the crowd.
"What will you do if you see him?" Rue asked. While she's sitting comfortably on the couch while facing her laptop on the table.
"We'll just keep an eye on him for time being." Demitri replied. The view in the camera slowly moves towards the crowd.
"Hold on!" Rue voice echoed that prompted them to stop from walking.
"Find a higher place where you can have a better view on the crowd." She commanded them as she massages her temples.
"Roger that." Atreus speaks using his full voice, that makes her just rolled her eyes and slightly shook her head. She even heard both of them chuckled.
They started moving again, while she just staring at the screen monitor. Looking for everything suspiciously.
"At the coffee shop, the guy wearing black shirt and faded jeans with long black hair." Demitri suddenly remarked. Her eyes immediately search for a coffee shop but she the monitor's view is limited.
"How could you see him with that distance?" Atreus commented with amusement can be heard on his voice. She heard Demitri laugh lightly.
He seems to have forgotten that he's with a vampire with a keen and heightened senses.
"Let's get closer to him." Demitri replied.  "We'll observe him for a while." He added with a seriousness on his every words. He's determined on the mission. 
They started moving close to the said coffee shop with a slow but normal walk.
While Rue is looking at the monitor with a serious face, her eyebrows meeting at the middle. She can't see anything, just the back of people.
"He's moving." Atreus warned. She sees the screen moving quickly, as if they're hurrying.
"What's happening?" She asks alarmed with the current situation.
"He's getting away." Demitri said, the screen is already moving fast. She can feel their urgency just looking at the monitor.
She sees them almost reached the coffee shop and she saw the guy Demitri described, a guy with a long black hair swiftly exited from the door.
"Oh fuck. Did he saw us?" She heard Atreus cursed. The view on the screen slightly moves shakily as they walk more faster.
"He's trying to lead us somewhere. Let's keep moving." Demitri replied with certainty.
They seems walking with a big steps while chasing him, trying not to be suspicious to the people around them. She's too immersed  at the screen when she heard the door bells aggressively.
Her eyebrows ceased in astonishment. Who could it be, almost breaking the door bell button. She closes her laptop and uses her speed to reach the door.
"Who is it?" She almost startled when Demitri speaks from the earpiece. She peeped on the little hole to see the person outside before opening the door.
"Althea." She emphasized her name as soon as she opened the door to notify the person over the earpiece.
"What brought you here?" She asked with a surprised yet composed manner.
"Am I now allowed to?" Althea replied with a sarcastic question. She took it as a joke and shook her head at her as she widened the door open.
"Come in." She said as she lets her in, while Althea came in abruptly.
"You seem in a hurry, what's wrong?" Rue asked as she noticed her rushing.
"I am." Althea answered concisely while looking around and her gaze stopped to look at her in the eyes. She tried reading her mind but she can't get through her head. 
Rue couldn't help but frown.
"Sit and calm down first. I'll just get you a water." She stated with a calm voice. she didn't wait for her response and went to the kitchen.
"What happened to her?" She heard Atreus asked from the earpiece while she's pouring a water on the glass.
"I don't know, she seems in a hurry" she whispered. "What's going on there?" She asked instead. Because she really doesn't have any idea what's going on with her.
"We're still keeping an eye on him, he's currently talking to someone." Atreus replied, and worry on his voice can be heard.
"Is that my water?" A voice suddenly speaks behind her. She almost startled on her feet, she turned to her and give her a death glare.
"You almost scared me." She scolded. Althea just gave her a wide smile.
"Here you can have you water— aww!" she exclaimed when a static noise suddenly echoed on her ear where the earpiece is on.
Her eyebrows creased as she harshly pull it off from her ear. It hurts her ear as her hearing is more heightened than a normal person, she almost lost her balance.
"Are you okay?" A voice speaks. She looked back where Althea is standing, but to her surprise, she saw a different person instead.
"Who are you?" She immediately uttered with an alarmed tone. Despite of being shocked, she managed to maintain her calmness with the stranger that's a meter away from her.
He didn't answer and just stared at her, she couldn't get into his mind either.
"What are you doing here?" She asked again as she quickly scanned him. His hair caught her attention, he has a neck length black hair. She remembered Demitri mentioning that Xenos has it. Or is it a coincidence?
"Finally, I get to see you again." The man finally speaks. But his response just confused her even more. 
"I said, who are you?" She asked again impatiently with a firm voice.
"Ohh. You're curious about me." He said playfully with a smirk plastered on his face. That made her rolled her eyes with a disgust on what he said.
He slowly take a steps towards her direction. She becomes cautious with his sudden movement as she looks at him directly on the eye with a glare.
He stopped in front of her with inches away.
"Can't you really remember me?" He uttered with a mocking smile. While she couldn't comprehend what this person is trying to play. But she knows one thing, she's in danger.
