The wait is excruciating, but thankfully our food arrives and gives us something to do while Noelle goes and looks for Bronx. I wonder what she’s going to tell us about the mission and if she’s found anything about the drones.

Finally, my phone rings. I grab it with shaking hands. Manny gently takes it from my fingers and answers for me. “Noelle, this is Manny,” he says. “You’re on speaker. Go ahead.”

“Hey, guys. I assume that everyone is with my girl?”

“Yes, we’re all here,” I say. “Except for Bronx.”

“Yeah, about that. He’s not at the school. I didn’t want to ask a whole lot of people. I know a couple of students who have him as an instructor for the last class of the day, and they said his class was cancelled. No one has seen him. I swung by the Lounge, the training center, and his room. That’s where it gets interesting.”

I cringe. Manny drapes his arm around my shoulders.

Noelle continues, “His room was unlocked, and the door slightly opened. So I pushed it all the way, so I could see if he was in there. It looked like his room was broken into.”

“This is Staten. How do you mean? What did his room look like?”

“I’ve never been in his room, but things were thrown about. Drawers were opened, and others were lying on the floor. Most of his clothes were gone, but I expected that since he was packing it all up to leave. But the desk lamp was broken, and the bed turned on its side. It kinda looked like there was a struggle in there.”

“Shit!” McQueen says.

“Yeah,” Manny agrees.

“Okay,” Staten says. “Thanks, Noelle, for looking into it. I think it’s safe to assume that he was taken by force. My bet is a Slayer Team because the dragons wouldn’t do that. Even the rogues wouldn’t use him to get to Brooklyn.”

“Why is that?” I ask.

“Because they would have the entire Pride rain down on them. While they are rule breakers, they don’t need a price on their heads. It just makes more sense that it’s the Slayers who have him,” Staten explains.

“Noelle?”

“Yeah?”

“We’ll catch a flight out tomorrow or the next day and come home to look for him.” I don’t ask Staten if that’s what we plan to do. I’m not taking no for an answer. There is no way I’m letting Bronx be where he is for another day. Not if I can help it. Besides, they could be torturing him. “We need to stop at a place first and then catch a ride home. In the meantime, have you looked into the drones?”

“Oh, yeah. I asked one of the Third Years about it. Don’t ask any questions about how I got the answers. Anyway, he said that Mr. Astor pulled the best candidates from that Level and is training them on how to use them. Each drone is equipped with specialized scanning lasers searching for dragons in the sky. It’s a new technology that’s been years in the making.
