Chapter 221 Interrogation

Michael was trying to make something out of what he had just seen Nova do in the captured footage, for some reason it didn't seem like a normal ability to him.

"I really need to take finding out more about Nova seriously," Michael muttered to himself.

"Who's Nova?" Nika asked.

"Oh, it's Nicole's really cute assistant who seems really strange to me," Michael said.

"Cuter than Nicole?" Nika said.

"To be honest, she is prettier than Nicole," Michael said.

"You wouldn't want Nicole to hear that," Nika said. "And she's coming up right now."

"Return every visual to current recordings." Michael quickly turned to the monitors and said.

Nika as always did as she was told and returned the visuals on the monitor to current recordings.

The elevator was brought up as Nicole got out of it and walked to him.

She didn't say anything until she had gotten close to him and was staring at him with a weird expression on her face.

"What?" Michael asked.

"Why did you send me down there?" Nicole asked.

"You said you wanted water," Michael said.

"And you directed me to the freezer that had only fruit juices on it."

"There isn't water there?" Michael asked.

"No, and I wasted my time checking through the fridge trying to find a bottle of water," Nicole said.

"I didn't know I was out of water," Michael said.

"But it's your freezer and damn I'm very thirsty."

"Don't worry you can drink all the water you want at my house," Michael said, grabbing her arm, and the two quickly got covered by white light.

The white light appeared in Michael's living room and Nicole quickly freed herself from his grip as she made her way to the kitchen.

Michael kept looking towards the kitchen entrance as she opened the freezer, took out a bottle of water, and slowly consumed the whole content.

"How's your thirst now?" Michael asked as soon as she walked out of the kitchen.

"It's gone, thanks for asking," Nicole said, walking to him. "Now let's go to the arena."

"So soon?" Michael asked.

"Yeah, we have an investigation to finish," Nicole said.

"Come on Nicole don't get ahead of yourself here, it's not like the students are just going to disappear," Michael said.

"Yeah, that could possibly happen," Nicole said.

"You're overthinking things, Nicole," Michael said, leaning in for a kiss.

Nicole tried to resist as taking care of this case had become her priority but she gave in to the kiss as an idea popped into her mind.

While the two were locked in a passionate kiss, she reached for Michael's watch and tapped the teleport button which caused both of them to be covered by white light.

The white light appeared in front of a man's shop and when it was cleared the two could be seen standing there.

"Nicole," Michael said with a sigh.

"Now can we go to the arena, please?"

"Where did you two come from?" The owner of the shop asked but he didn't get any reply as the two got covered by white light and vanished.

The white light appeared outside the arena gate and cleared up to reveal the two.

"Now let's go get answers to our questions," Nicole said, opening the gate and walking in.

"Yeah," Michael said, following her from behind.

Nicole had stopped at the entrance to try and spot all their targets from there before making their move.

"That's Luis over there," Michael said, pointing towards the spot where his students were standing.

"I've already seen him," Nicole said walking closer to the arena ground.

She scanned the arena with her eyes until she had found the two students she was looking at on the other side of the arena.

"And there's the other two students over there." Nicole nodded in their direction.

"Yeah, I've already seen them," Michael said.

Luis was patiently waiting for Fred to be brought up so that he could get things under control before his attraction affected more people.

He closed his eyes so that he would be able to communicate with Fred, this was something he had learned he could do with his Demi-Angels but it didn't work on humans.

"Don't move Fred." Fred heard his voice in his mind.

"What do you mean?" Fred whispered.

"Turn it off first," Luis said.

"Turn what off?"

"Your attraction, that was the reason why that boy was acting strange."

"But I don't know how to turn it off," Fred whispered.

"Speak to me in your mind Fred," Luis said.

'Ok.'

"Do you sense some kind of energy around yourself?" Luis asked.

'Energy?' Fred said getting off the earth pillar.

"Use your aura vision."

'Ok.' Fred said, turning on his aura vision. 'I can see some kind of grey aura encircling me.'

"Good now try to take that aura in."

'Ok.' Fred said.

He closed his eyes and just like Luis said he tried to take the aura in.

He was amazed by how the aura got absorbed into his body.

'I think it's gone now.' Fred said.

"Great, now try not to unleash that aura again," Luis said.

Fred wanted to say something but before he could Luis had already left him and had opened his eyes where he was standing.

"That was close." He muttered.

"What was close?" Michael said behind him.

"Michael," Luis said as he turned back to see that Nicole was with him.

"Can we speak to you for a second Luis?" Michael asked.

"Ok," Luis replied, sensing that things weren't exactly okay.

He followed Michael and Nicole as they made their way to the staff department and entered the room they had been in before Nicole was given this case to handle.

Nicole wanted to bring in the three of them at once but Michael insisted that they spoke to Luis because he wanted to confirm something first.

"Sit down, Luis," Nicole said, pulling out a chair for him.

[ Mind read blocked ]

Luis tried to read her mind to find out what was happening but it seemed like Nicole didn't have a weak mind that he could easily get through.

"Ok," Luis said, slowly sitting down.

"I have a few questions for you Luis and I want you to tell me nothing but the truth," Nicole said.

"Ok," Luis said as his heartbeat began to slowly increase.

'I hope this isn't what I think it is.' He thought.

"You and Dylan Hart went into the woods this morning while the competition was going on, true or false?"

'How does she know about that?'

It didn't take long for the answer to click in his mind as he raised his gaze to look at Michael who had a worried expression on his face.

"I asked you a question, Luis," Nicole said, slamming her hand on the table.

"True," Luis said.

"Why did you go there?" Nicole asked.

Luis was caught between two worlds, one was to be truthful and tell Nicole that he was set up but that meant he would have to tell her what really happened and the other one was to make something up and clear both his and Dylan's name from whatever they had found out, he already had the story made up in his mind.

'I think you should tell Michael what really happened first.' Lena suggested.
