Capítulo 54: CHAPTER 54: GENERAL ARCHEDEUS

"Mater Omni, I have all the details that you've asked before. She is definitely in Paris right now but she is not seeing anyone so far." Mister Zordon also handed some pictures of a woman to Master Omni.

"All the details about her and her address are all in envelope." Mister Zordon continued. Zordon was a private investigator who's been working with Master Omni for a long time.

Master Omni took the photos out and browsed them one by one. His forehead creased as he continued to look at the pictures.

"This woman is really in Paris huh…" He thought to himself.

"Do you have any information how long she will be staying there?" Mater Omni asked.

"I don't have that information yet Master Omni, but I will let you know once I have the assurance of our agents in there." Mr. Zordon assured him.

"Okay. Continue to keep your eyes on her then." Master Omni ordered.

"Yes Master Omni." He assured him before he left his study room.

When his private investigator left, Master Omni once again browsed the pictures then he pulled the other information placed inside the envelope.

"So that's what you've been doing up until now huh…" Master Omni whispered as he sneered in annoyance.

*** In the hospital were Caleb was admitted, tension can be felt when Aisha saw a familiar face entered the room. She was troubled, she didn't know what to do and what to say. She trembled when she saw him entered the room earlier.

"U-Uncle Archie?" She was surprised. "Why are you here?" she suddenly asked but when she saw the man looked at her questioningly, she realized how wrong her question was.

"I-I'm sorry, what I mean is how -----'' Aisha didn't finish her statement when the old man interrupted.

"Don't try to talk me out. Just tell me what happened." The old man asked in a serious pitch. Aisha bit her lower lip in dread.

"U-Uncle Archie…" Aisha was hesitating but she knew that this old man deserved to know that truth about what happened to his son. General Archedeus was one of his father's trusted men in the organization. He was known to be a ruthless man to his enemies but he was actually soft to Aisha and Caleb. He was a loving Father and he became a second father to Aisha, but she called him Uncle Archie.

Aisha was not afraid of him; she was just guilty that she was not able to protect Caleb from the people who were originally after her.

"I hope you are not blaming yourself for what happened to him because I don't blame you as well." General Archedeus cajoled her. "So please speak up." He pleaded as his eyes gazed at his son heartbreakingly.

"Bones, they were Bones." Aisha mumbled as she looked away. Archedeus eyes widened in disbelief.

"Are you perhaps saying that he was attacked by class B bounty hunters?" Archedeus couldn't believe what he heard.

"Yes Uncle. I'm sorry, it was my fault. Sorry that I wasn't able to protect him!" She sniffled. Archedeus was in silence for a couple of minutes.

"So it's true that they are already in the City!" Archedeus was in deep thought then he stared at Aisha and Caleb with full of worry. "Even if Aisha and Caleb are both strong, they can't handle that type of bounty hunters! They are definitely in danger!" He caressed his temples.

After a minute of silence, they heard Caleb moaned weakly so they rushed to him.

"Caleb, can you hear me?" Aisha uttered. Caleb slowly opened his eyes. His vision was a little cloudy.

"Caleb? Caleb? Can you hear me?" Aisha worriedly asked once again.

"Ehm…" She heard Caleb answered. "Lisa, how's Lisa?" Caleb tried to look at Aisha. Archedeus creased his forehead. 'Who the hell is that person? Did Caleb take another girlfriend? Ahh! This frivolous man really!' Archedeus thought.

"She's alright. She's at home resting." Aisha assured him. Caleb heaved a relief but he dropped his jaw when he saw the man beside Aisha.

"F-Father" He gulped. "What are you doing here?" His father sternly glared at him.

"Ah-oh, sorry wrong question." He faked a smile. "Nice to see you father." He teased his father. Aisha kept her laugh.

"You still have a lot of things to tell me!" Archedeus demanded.

"Easy dad! Look, I'm still alive! Ha-ha!" Caleb mocked his father.

"CALEB?!" His father yelled. Aisha stepped backward silently—planning to escape the room.

"Where do you think you're going, Aisha?" Archedeus faced her. Aisha paused on her tracks as she slowly faced him,

"I'll just go and uhm… you know… ha-ha, buy some foods??" Aisha grinned.

"Stay! You both have a lot of explanation to do!" Archedeus shouted. Both Aisha and Caleb heaved a heavy sigh. Guess it couldn't be helped.

Aisha did all the explaining to her uncle. Everything! She also told him what the first group of bounty hunters told her before. Nothing was hidden to General Archedeus, EXCEPT the part that Aisha was living her sister's life. She escaped that part. After relaying her story, Archedeus caressed his jaw line. He was deep thought.

"But uncle, please don't tell it to my dad for the meantime. I will tell him personally soon." Aisha pleaded even if she knew it was impossible. Her uncle Archedeus was a loyal friend, he could never hide anything from her dad. When Archedeus heard her, he shot a glare at her. If looks could kill then she would definitely be dead. Caleb suddenly laughed at the sight of Aisha. They already knew the answer, that was why Aisha sighed in defeat.

"Stop being foolish! You better ask your father for help before you drag anyone else on this hunting game. You know how merciless these bounty hunters are. They can kill innocent people as long as they completed their mission. Don't wait for that day!" Archedeus educated them in a serious pitch.

The three became serious all of a sudden. The two dared not to speak because they know that he was right.

Unknown to them, someone was listening intently to their conversation.
