Nimh's eyes grew wetter, but she stopped asking hte questions. She watched him silently for a long time, until more tranqs were given to her, and she managed to convince herself that she needed sleep. She turned away from Kreon, closed her eyes, and dreamed of Ace.

Kreon watched Nimh, wondering what possibilities could be running through her head. He hadn't meant to yell at her, he had just lost hisd temper. He would have to explain his part in all this when she woke up.

Nimh slept for another eight-ten hours, before waking up. She sniffed and rubbed her eyes, which were sore from crying again. She glanced at Kreon, then looked away. He wasn't going to explain anything to her, the bastard.

"I did somethin....." Kreon said, anguish in his voice. "I didn't mean for it to turn out like it did, but....." he said, looking down, "I feel that you deserve to know the truth.

Nimh glanced over her shoulder at him, acknowledging slowly that he meant it, and turned to listen. About time, she could not help but think sourly. "What did you do?" she whispered in question.

"I called Ace, told him I neeed to talk to him. When he arrived, I tied him up, beat him up real good and stabbed hima few times, just to prove to him how fragile he was. After it all when he still refused to become a hybrid again, I threatened to kill you. I never actually meant it, but he lost it when I did. He broke free of his restraints and ran back to your house. I only sent the guy with the scarred face to bring Ace back, I never meant for him to hurt you- or Ace. I'm sorry....I had no idea the man had a personal grudge against Ace. He told me the burns were the result of a mission gone wrong..." he said silently.

Nimh listened and felt her eyes getting wet again. This man had hurt Ace too...And then sent the scarred man over to bring Ace...This was partially his fault. Nimh wiped her eyes and nodded. "So...waht does that mean...Where's Ace?" she asked again.

Swallowing, he looked down. "He..um..." Kreon cleared his throat, stalling. "He's not here." he said, looking away.

"Where is he?" she repeated. "I can see he's not here."

"I....I don't know." Kreon replied, looking strait at her. "I don't know where he is." he repeated, anguish in his voice.

"What do you mean you don't know? He was at the house, wasn't he?" she asked, growing alarmed.

"When I came to get you, yes...." Kreon replied, reliving the memory. "But he told me to take you, he told me it would just take longer if I had to help him into the car to. So I did. I took you. And when I came back, he was gone, and so was the other man." Kreon said his voice drifting off.

nimh stared at him, eye wet. "THere's no way to track him?" she whispered.

"Track what!" Kreon said, running his hand through his hair. "There's nothing to track! He's blood's been mixed wih the scarred man's, and there's nothing else to track thats his. Theres no trace of his DNA in his apartment, he does a clean sweep every few days." "

Nimh blinked back her tears. She turned away from Kreon, pulling the blankets up to her chin. He's gone? she thought. And the scarred man is too? Her thoughts kept going into the negative, dark places but she tried to keep happy, keep light. "He's...He's alive, as far as you know, right?"
