*You were on fire, woah that's was intense*.
*So you actually did research on her?*. Kai asked.
*Of course..., anyway that's not what's important now, let's see what he's going to do*.
"So you really did your homework, that's very shocking and thorough for a mercenary, I'm impressed, bravo!". Bryan clapped.
*What!, he's clapping?*. That was the statement at the tip of everyone's tongue.
"Normally I never thought you'd go as far as investigating after hearing such a prize money, I guess I was wrong, my apologies".
"Then what does she do?, how did she get the mon..
"I'm sorry but that's confidential, any information on that you might want to ask her yourself ". Bryan interrupted.
"Then what about that manager lady, doesn't she work for Ms Kate?". Varian asked.
"Yeah she does, but the bar has nothing to do with it, Kate was only there that day for some important business". Bryan replied.
"Why did she give us this task, I'm sure she has more better people for it or she could even ask the poli....
"I don't know what runs through her head, so I can't say for sure why she did". Bryan answered.
"How are we supposed to trust you with your half truths?". Alouis asked.
"Half truths?, I don't know what you mean by that, we might be into shady businesses, but you're mercenaries doing anything for a fee, and there's nothing more shady than that ". Bryan said.
"That's not what I meant!". Alouis shook his head.
"I mean, how are we supposed to trust that you won't end us in the middle of the night ".
"What?!, I would never do that!". Bryan waved his hand.
"I'm not a killer!".
"Then what do you do for a living?". Alouis asked.
"I work for Kate's Mom ". He answered.
"What do you do for her?".
"I mostly help people out, though only people she asked me to help".
"What kind of help?".
"Hmmn, just like the way I'm helping you guys to find her".
"So you help find people?".
"Not really, I just 'help' people ".
"You seem quite interested in me, Alouis ".
"Well yes, I just want to know more about my employers, anything wrong with that?".
"Of course not!".
"That's great, .... Why don't we call it a night?".
*I doubt he has any more useful information*.
*Why?, this conversation was just getting interesting*. Kai whined.
*Seriously?, that's all you have to say*. Alouis sighed.
"Sure, we can continue our discussion tomorrow". Varian stood up and everyone else followed as they all went their separate ways to their rooms.

Alouis room
.
*First you told me Lucian was a demon, then Bryan and later Katherine, why is everyone I know suddenly a demon?!*.
*Not everyone, there's still Sally*. Kai muttered.
*I can actually believe the Bryan and Katherine part, because I knew there was something up with them, but Lucian that's just not plausi..
*Is that what's important now?*.
*You're right that's not!*. Alouis sat up.
*Why would Bryan work for Kate, if he's so strong urban legend like you said then why work for her?*.
*Not an urban legend*. Kai chipped in.
*It's just like a super wealthy guy working for a pauper, that's so..
*I never said Kate was that weak, she's even quite stro...
*Is she stronger than you?*.
*Of course not!, I'm way above her, but that doesn't mean she's on the ground level, just that I'm way better*.
*That's a relief*. Alouis sighed.
*What's that for?*. Kai asked.
*What'd you mean, I'm just happy that if I even come in contact with her, you can easily get rid of...
*Hahahaha!, you're so hilarious*. Kai laughed.
*I refuse!*.
*Huh?*. Alouis said.
*Who said just because you're my host, I'll actually help you fight, haha!*.
*You won't?*. Alouis asked.
*Of course not!, why'd you think I've been giving you some much advice, if you can't fight for yourself, then you die!*.
*It's that easy, I can always get another vessel*. Kai added.
Alouis had almost forgotten, but at the end of the day, Kai was still a demon, cold-blooded and heartless.
*Oh, I se...
'Knock, knock'
A knock on the door interrupted him
"It's Varian, let's talk, can I come in?".
"Sure, come in, the door's unlocked". Alouis answered
"Okay ". Varian walked in and closed the door.
He stood for a while staring round the room.
"There's no one in here". He muttered.
"Huh?".
"Nothing ". He walked over to Alouis.
"There's something you know that you're not telling us, right?". Varian asked.
"Well, umm yeah, in a way". Alouis scratched the back of his head.
"I knew it, does it have anything to do with.. oh no sorry let me rephrase, it's about Kate and Bryan, isn't it?". Alouis nodded.
"Right now, it's just a suspicion ".
*Is that Varian and Alouis*. Lucian who had been passing by leaned in to eavesdrop.
"Suspicion?". Varian asked.
"Yeah, I'm getting a lot of information about Kate, Bryan and Lucian..
"Lucian?". Varian chipped in.
*Me?*.
"But!, I'm not a hundred percent sure about anything, so I don't wanna give you some wrong information". Alouis explained.
"Oh". Varian exclaimed.
*So you don't trust me?*. Kai asked.
*Be quiet!*. Alouis quickly shut him up.
"When I straighten everything up, I'll let you guys in on it". Alouis said.
"But right now I can't say anything for sure ".
"Okay I get it, but please try to hasten it up so we don't end up doing anything reckless or filled with danger"
"In the meantime I'll tell the others to keep their guards up and gather as much information as we can ".
Alouis nodded while Varian looked round the room again.
"Are you looking for something?". Alouis asked.
"What?!, no, nothing at all!,... Good night!". He turned around.
"Ok goodnight ". Varian walked away.
*Holy shit, he's coming out*. Lucian ran over to a corner as Varian walked out.
Luckily, he didn't spot him.
*What could Alouis know about me?". Lucian wondered.
"I did know there was something fishy about Kate and her henchmen, especially Bryan, his whole aura is off, the other two seemed pretty chill". He muttered walking to his room.
*And then there's Alouis, since he came back from the cinema, there's something strange about him*.
*But I can't just walk up to the others and say 'Hey guys I think there's something wrong with Alouis ', and asking him is off limits*.
"Even though we're friends we're not really that close, he's more close with Varian, Everling, Sally and Taylia" .
"There's no way he would tell me something that's hard for him to tell the others especially Varian, right?". Lucian fell back on his bed.
*Spending so much money just to find one person is so freaking weird and totally suspicious, where'd she get such an amount, while there's Bryan, who's to say that he's not just lying about everything he said*.
"Arghh!, I'm not cut out for thinking this hard, it's all Alouis fault, now I'm left here wondering about what he figured out about my, I'm just so curious!".
*There's just something shady about everyone, from my friends to Kate and her mother, down to this vacation*.
"But who am I to judge, I'm just a freaking demon". Lucian muttered.
"I wonder how the others would react if they were to find out?".
