There was a knock on the door as Robert and London y in a naked embrace, they awoke to the noise and Robert dressed himself along with London before opening the door.
As Robert opened the door, he was greeted by a brother of the temple who had come with an officer.
"Hello Mr Robert, I am Lucas, Good Evening, I am deeply apologetic to disturb you at this hour, shall we speak inside?" He said.
"Good Evening, Mr Lucas. Yes, of course, Please come inside" Said Robert and he opened the door fully and let his guests in. He nodded to the office whom he recognized as one of Howard's work buddies.
He looked at his living room, London had gone to her room so only he and their two guests were there. As the guests took their seats, Robert felt uneasy with the sudden presence of temple members and police in his home. The st time he had met with them together was 10 years ago, their meeting was not by chance but a result of a tragedy that had befallen his family. He hoped that something like that wouldn't be discussed today and suddenly worried for his wife and son. Anxiety took him over and it became evident on his face. Lucas and the officer sensed it too.
"Mr. Robert, We are not here because something bad has happened, it's rather the opposite. I have news of your Sister, We have a strong lead on her" Said Lucas.
Robert felt a mix of emotions. His Sister, the beloved Anne was lost to the family when she was a teen, she had run away one night after having a fight with her dad over something that Robert didn't even remember. Robert, along with everyone had tried to find her but she was nowhere to be found, no one had seen her since then. She was dear to Robert out of all his sisters, she was the one Robert was close to. Robert could still feel the embrace of her warmth on himself, and the nights they were lost in passion. The only other woman Robert had loved as much as she was his wife. Whose embrace helped Robert get over Anne. Emotions that had been buried deep inside came out at the mention of the person that was not mentioned to Robert in long years.
As Robert was flushed with emotions, he tried to make sense of things.
" What..what.... where is she?" Robert asked with wetness in his eyes.
" Ms. Anne's case was cold Mr. Robert, but there has been an increase in evil in the town due to which we had mobilized all the forces we had and carried out searches for our operations in the town and beyond its borders, we didn't find what we were looking for, yet, but we did find a lead on Ms. Anne," Said Lucas sitting with a smile.
"Where is she Mr Lucas? Please tell me, I want to meet her" Said Robert with a flushed face as he remembered Anne's face.
"We can't tell you what we found or what led to her discovery, but I can tell you what we have pnned" Lucas shifted in his seat and became more stern on his posture but his smile never wavered. The officer looked awkwardly around the house as he didn't want to looked at the man on the verge of tears in front of him.
"She's in a town far from this one, she's safe, our merchant connections say that she has been living the normal life of a town outsider," Lucas said.
Robert sighed and a relief fell over him as he was told that his sister was at least safe, in his years of long and hard thinking about what might have happened to Anne he always thought about something bad and dangerous happening to his sister. These thoughts had tormented him.
"That's... that's..... great!" Said Robert.
"Now that you have been informed, what do you pn to do with this information?" Lucas asked as he knew what Robert had in mind and why it can't be allowed without supervision.
Robert knew what he wanted to do, and why Lucas had asked that question. Lucas knew Robert would pn to meet his sister, but a town person venturing outside without permission from the temple was not allowed.
"You know what I want Lucas, the question is who's gonna stop me" Robert spoke with a voice that was simple and yet menacing.
"No one, Mr Robert. It's already being arranged, we'd hate to keep you from seeing your family" Lucas said calming Robert's anger.
" Okay, then when do we leave?" Asked Robert.
"Tonight! you will be accompanied and sent to her location, Please come to the temple in an hour, your transport will be waiting for you there" Said Mr Lucas and stood up, the officer followed.
"Thanks, Mr Lucas, Thanks Officer," Robert said and shook their hands. They walked out the door and Robert closed the door.
Robert sat down on his sofa and processed all the information and what to do once more, Before going to London's room and informing her of his leaving. He told London to also tell the same to Jonathan and Amelia.
Robert left after gathering his things, London gave her dad a passionate kiss asking him to return with his Aunt.
