Poor Markus had been running himself ragged all over the city in search of Brian Ravenlock. The kid stopped on the corner of a street for a moment, trying to catch his breath. He had went to where their new house was being built and didn't find them. On his way over to the apartment, he had stopped at the morgue to inform them of what happened and send them over to Jewell's villa. From there he had went to Brian and Jen's apartment over the cake shop and finally to the Japanese Bath House.
None of those locations had yielded information to him as to where Brian might be. The poor boy was starting to despair, it was as if Mr. Ravenlock had skipped town. In fact, that was exactly what Brian and Jen had done. Unfortunately, Markus didn't know this and continued on his search.
The last place he came to was the Scathachian Sanctuary. The place, more so the inhabitants, made him a little nervous. He knew they were good friends with the Ravenlocks, that Miss Isuelt had not been involved in all those gruesome murders he kept hearing about. However, it was a building inhabited by powerful women and Markus was at the age where even normal women made him nervous.
Still, he had a job to do. Still panting from his race around the city, he made his presence known at the gate of the Sanctuary by shouting breathlessly, "Mister Brian' Miss Jen! Please come out, I need to speak with one of you!"
