==Chapter Eighteen: The Third Victim==
The morning after Rose's party, Midnight woke up. She was back at the G.U.N. Fortress being cared for by Noon and Cocoa.
Thorn, Daisy, Kyle, Honey, and Nails were sitting in Nails' office.
"What exactly happened?" Nails asked.
"Well..." Daisy said," Topaz and I were kissing...and then I felt this burning sensation on my lips and smelled smoke. When I opened my eyes, he was gone and I saw claw marks on the floor."
"Oh my God..." Thorn said.
"Topaz..." Honey said.
"Topaz is the Jinn!" Kyle exclaimed.
"I wonder why Quartz and Aurum thought Rose was the Jinn..." Thorn said.
"I'm going to keep translating the bestiary." Nails said.
Thorn, Kyle, Honey, and Daisy walked outside.
"I'm going to...go to the library." Daisy said.
"Okay." Honey said. "Call us if you need anything."
"Um, I need to get going too." Honey said.
"Alright." Thorn said.
Kyle and Thorn were watching TV in Omega Squad's quarters. A news report made by Felicity the Cat was on.
"This just in. Police are on the lookout for a missing Central City boy, Chester the Squirrel. He was reported missing this morning when his father returned home from work." Felicity said.
"No..." Kyle said. "No... No!"
He began to cry.
Thorn tried to comfort him, but knew it would be useless. Chester was Topaz's third victim.
Rose walked to her quarters in a daze. She found a note addressed to Kyle at the bottom of his bed.
"Kyle!" Rose said. She ran to Thorn and him. Kyle was crying.
"Kyle, it's not too late to save your brother." Rose said.
"What?" Kyle asked.
"Tomorrow night, it's going to rain at least six inches of rainfall. That's when he'll die. We have to find him before then." Rose explained. She showed them the letter.
"Why would Topaz do this?" Kyle asked.
"I don't know. But we're going to find them." Thorn promised.
"Am I.." Midnight asked Noon.
"You still have your powers. But you're weakened right now." Noon said.
"Here, eat some food." Cocoa said. He fed her some fruit.
"Thank you." Midnight told him.
Aurum and Quartz were walking into the infirmary.
"Midnight!" they exclaimed.
"Midnight...we've been thinking..." Aurum said.
"That we're going to go off on our own." Quartz said.
"Thank you for training us." Aurum told her.
"But..." Midnight said.
"We'll miss you too." Quartz said.
"We hope you get better." Aurum said.
The two left the infirmary.
Thorn, Kyle, and Rose informed Commander Tower of Chester's abduction.
"Impossible!" Commander Tower said. "I would never have guessed such treachery from Topaz. Nevertheless, we shall send a search party to find Doctor Jason's son. He has helped us in the past, it would be natural to help him now."
"We'll go search for him." Kyle said.
"Well..." Commander Tower said. "Alright. But take a tracker. We'll send a squad as backup."
"Wait." Thorn said as she, Kyle, and Rose were about to leave.
"We should get Daisy's help. I'm sure she could catch Topaz's scent."
"Good idea." Rose said.
They found Daisy crying in the library.
"Daisy...please help us." Kyle said. "Topaz took my brother..."
"A-alright." Daisy said. "I'll help you."
The four set off to find Chester.
Honey was in the training room, polishing her weapons.
"Are you ready for your first assignment as an elite trainee?" Commander Tower asked.
"Yes, I am." Honey replied. "I'm going to kill Topaz."
She exited the training room, armed with knives, a sword, two pistols, and a crossbow. Honey met Cocoa exiting the infirmary.
"Hey." He said. "Where are you going?"
"Honey!" Nails yelled.
Nightshade appeared next to Noon and Midnight.
"Hello," she told them.
"Nightshade!" they exclaimed.
"I want to help you kill the Jinn." Nightshade said.
"Why?" Noon asked.
"I can't have it destroy my plans." Nightshade replied.
"Do you know where it is?" Noon asked.
"Yes. Thorn and her friends are on their way now. We can meet up with them and strike." Nightshade said.
"Alright." Noon said. "But if you dare try to double-cross us, I swear I will tear you apart."
"Very well." Nightshade said. "Let's go."
Noon looked on at Midnight sleeping. He walked away with Nightshade.
"Do you know where Thorn and Kyle are?" Nails asked Honey and Cocoa.
"We're going to go after them." Cocoa said.
"Wait," Honey began.
"I need to talk to them." Nails said.
"Just tell us." Cocoa said.
"I finished translating the bestiary." Nails said. "It said that the Jinn died before being brought back to life. And that's not it. It said that whoever brings the Jinn back to life is its master. Topaz...is being controlled."
