Andrew’s phone vibrated twice on the desk of his father’s old study, but they went ignored, he was sitting with his head on the desk, half asleep. He hadn’t slept since Lucas had disappeared, it was finally starting to show and if he got called out for a hunt tonight, he would must certainly risk the mission. The door opened loudly and he could hear his sister’s shoes clack against the polished wood flooring.

“Where’s Craig?” She asked, her arms folded and her face stern.
“At the Drunken Bear,” Andrew replied without lifting his head from the desk. “Don’t worry, Sophia, Shay and Wesley are probably there, he’s safe.”
“That’s not the issue, you let him go out, when I’d said he couldn’t.” Andrew lifted his head from the desk and looked at her.
“Are you serious?” He asked her, standing up as he did so, “Who do you think you are? Mom?” Andrew looked at his sister, his face filled with anger.
“Oh my god, I’m just trying to look out for this family.” She told him. “Sorry for trying to prevent another family death, we all know hunters and their families are targets.” Andrew glared at Sophia but she merely sighed and walked out the door, her footsteps echoing down the hallway.

Andrew sat back down in the chair, now he was up, he snatched the phone from the desk and unlocked it, a message from Shay and… Lucas. Andrew ignored Shay’s text and opened the message from Andrew.

Lucas is fine, Andrew. Do not worry.
-Lucas

Andrew quickly started typing,

Who is this? How do I know you’re telling the truth? Tell me what’s happened to my cousin.
-Andrew

Andrew quickly left the study and briskly made his way down the hallway, he ran to Sophia’s room and opened the door, without permission, something she hated.
“Someone just text me off Lucas’ phone.” Sophia was speechless, her eyes merely blinked, but she finally managed something.
“Andrew just leave it, he’s gone.” She told him, matter-of-factly. “He’s one of them.”
