Through sheer coincidence and timing, Zeke, Aedan and Cain arrived at the same time.

"All right." Zeke said.

"Let's finishing grouping these people up." he suggested, before looking at Aedan.

"And somehow I get the feeling the basement will need to be explored in depth." he commented to her.

Cain blushed when Aedan referred to Lunet as his girlfriend, but shook it off.

"Yes." he said.

"There are." he agreed.

"It's horrifying." he told her.

"This place is literally a house of horror." he said.

Azazel sighed.

"Come, then." he told the male.

The male nodded and the three of them left, leaving Aedan and Cain.

Aedan then received a text from Zeke.

Found her. She's at the Unit now. it read.

"...nothing." he replied.

"I'm worried about her." he then admitted.

"Seems they're close." Cain replied.

"...I need to find Lunet." he then said, standing up.

"They took her, too." he added.

"Where are you taking her?" the male asked Azazel.

"Somewhere she can get help." Azazel replied.

"I'm going there, too." the male insisted.

"Yes." Cain replied.

"Her vitals are low." he told her.

"Stable, but low." he said.

"She needs help." the other male said.

"Or she'll die."

"Yup." Azazel replied.

The further they got, the more the lighting got dimmer and dimmer, until it was completely dark. They both had nightvision, but they turned on their cell phone flashlights anyway.

They made their way to the door in question... which was ajar, and brimming with ominous energy... and Azazel sighed.

"All right, in we go..." he said, nudging the door open, where they saw flickering lights that barely illuminated the room... and three people.

One was a girl that was on the floor, in the middle of a rune-like pattern, the other was a male they didn't know, and the third one... was Cain. Both males were overlooking the female, and seemed to be trying to keep her alive.

"Others should be coming within the next 10 minutes, but they'll need to go through security." Zeke responded.

"For now, deal with Lunet." he said.

With that, they finished their call, and he used his mana to send Lunet directly to Angela, so she could be tended to.

Meanwhile, Azazel and Aedan were down in the basement, trying to find where Cain might be... before Azazel suddenly froze, and looked at Aedan.

"....you feel that?" he asked her.

"I think we know where we're going." he said.

"This IS his daughter, so he has a right to know." Zeke responded.

"That being said, because her mana AND my mana are both recognised by the Unit, I can send her right to the medical wing directly." he continued.

"So... maybe look her over and such, before contacting him." he reasoned.

"Regardless, I'm sending her now." he then said.

"Ready?" he asked.

Zeke was silent for a moment.

"She's been tortured." he said.

"Her physical wounds look minor, but they should be looked at. I'm concerned about mental and psychological trauma." he explained further.

"Angela..." he then said quietly, pausing a moment.

"It's Lunet."

Zeke just growled to himself as he noticed that the jeans had been torn to shreds.

"Damn it all." he cursed, before using his mana to essentially melt the shackles open that held her. He was ready, and caught her when she collapsed into his arms, before carrying her out of the room.

'....a djinn?' he thought. 'This IS Lunet, but... a djinn...?' he wondered, as he made his way through the halls. He then stopped a staff lounge area, before laying her down on the couch there, and taking his shirt off. He put it on Lunet, and unsurprisingly, it draped over her down to her knees.

"Good." he said, before taking his phone out of his pocket, and calling Angela.

Theo shrank down again, and Azazel sighed.

"Don't... take it personal." he said to Theo.

"Coming, Aedan!" he then called to the zombie, before quickly following, leaving a shivering Theo behind.

"...I'm going to rescue this djinn." Zeke commented, before he quickly left the room.

He hastily searched the floor that Theo had said that the girl was on, checking room after room, before he finally found one that was locked tight.

"...all right then, guess this is the one." he muttered, before easily forcing the door open and stepping inside.

"Yes." Zeke responded.

"It seems that one of the resident 'guests' here has information on where Cain might be." he told her, gesturing towards Theo.

Theo immediately withdrew and hid behind Sierra when Aedan looked at him, however. Azazel's look didn't help matters much either, but Aedan looked ready to destroy someone.

"He told us, don't hurt him." Zeke muttered.

"R-R-Ritual room." Theo stuttered at Aedan. "B-basement. Room 23." he managed to get out further.

"P-please. I don't think I want to die anymore, so don't kill me." he pleaded to Aedan.

Aly frowned as well when she heard what Ryker said.

"..." she was silent, and didn't know what to say, so she didn't say anything.

When Eke put on the coat, it was noticeably bigger than he was used to, but it covered him up completely... and the fabric on the inside was soft and warm.

It might have looked a bit large and silly on Eke, but he knew it would keep him warm.

"All right, I've got everything ready." Aly told him.

"....I just want to help you." he told Sierra.

"You're helping ME..." he reasoned, looking away again, and trying not to look at Zeke.

Zeke just sighed, and looked at Sierra.

"I'll find this djinn girl." he told her.

He then took out his phone, and sent a text to Aedan.

Aedan, get the main area NOW. We think we know where your son is. he sent.

"Now we wait for a few seconds." he told her, as Azazel approached, and Theo scooted away slightly from him.
