Cade had gotten on the same train as them. He had Kept an eye on them from his own section. He was watching them from the transparent shield on the door that separated their booths. He got off when they did, and mingled with the crowd so as not to blow his cover. He saw rexy flag down a taxi for the gang. He saw rexy bend through the open window to talk to the taxi driver. He watched as he straightened up and talked to jordan. soon they were all piling in to the taxi. Cade gave them a minute head start and then he flagged down a taxi and asked the driver to follow them slowly but steadily. The driver did as he was told.
Rexy had stopped a taxi. when the car slowly came to a halt beside them, rexy peered in through the open window
' hey dude, you would not mind recommending a popular motel here to us would you? we have business here and might be staying for quite some time. we need a place to cool off after the day's work you see'
 The driver looked at him and them, he did not see any suitcases or luggage. Perhaps travelling light has taken another dimension.
' well l know some popular motel, and it is quite cheap'
' okay then. you take us straight there' Rexy beamed looking as hideous as ever.
They got in, Rexy at the front passenger seat, the other three at the back.
The driver stopped at in front of a motel that was screaming cheap. They piled out and gave the place a thorough look. 
' well we had better get to work' jordan said.
They went in to the motel.
' they are not here ' jordan said before they could even make enquiries or ask the receptionist.
They kept moving from motel to motel. Jordan had the feeling that Adrian was in that town and he was going to find him.
Rexy also asked some few people if they had seen a tall handsome man in black with a young lady with very black hair and very blue hair. Nobody agreed to have seen them. And that was true because Adrian and Jayda had arrived late at night. So very few people or nobody at all could have seen them except the taxi driver that took them to the inn and the old man at the front desk that had taken them in and given them a room. They went from vicinity to vicinity, from to neighborhood to neighborhood asking questions about a tall man and a dark haired girl.
Luck shone on them as they were eating in a diner and a middle aged woman just came in. She worked at the Ballard inn as a part time house keeper. She had been the one to deliver the food that Adrian and Jayda had ordered that evening before she got off. 
They had over heard her explaining to her supposed date that old man Joe had asked her to deliver food to some new couple in the honeymoon suite. He had begged her saying that they were newly wed. So she had done him the favor and that is why she had been late. 
'I have never seen them before. I guess they are new to town'
 Jordan's ear pricked up as he heard her. He had been listening to her attentively and had used his intense hearing ability to amplify what she was she saying.
 He stood up and walked up to her.
' i am sorry to interrupt your dinner, but i am in a bit of a pickle. My friends and I …. he motioned to them by pointing to them where they sat at their own table.... we are kind off stranded and have no place to spend the night. Is there a guest house or someplace nearby that we could stay for the night. We can't afford some big fancy hotel so we just need something modest and affordable for the night.'
The woman stared at him for a complete minute. This was suddenly out of the blue and very unexpected. Even the man she was seated with was looking from her to Jordan. She saw that things were about to get awkward and so she broke the silence
' um... yes, of course. well, the Ballard inn is just a few kilometers from here. you can take a cab just right out front. just say you are headed to the Ballard inn, its very popular, and affordable.'
Jordan gave her a charming smile as he said ' thank you'
He went back to his table.
' let's go find the Ballard inn, unless you don't need a place to sleep tonight'
 
They matched out and took a cab headed for the Ballard inn. Cade followed behind quietly.
Jordan had asked the driver to stop a few meters away from the building. He knew his brother could be vicious and very sensitive. He was not just going to barge in there and have Adrian rip them apart. They would wait for the perfect time and moment to attack. Plus he wanted to see his face when he springs a surprise attack on him. He could not beat Adrian but he would try to tame him for a little while. Him and Adrian were not the best of friends even though they were brothers. He hated him because their father always treated Adrian like the better son, while he liked to keep him hidden and away from the affairs of the kingdom. His own father treated him like an outcast,..... like a psychopath.
It was not long before they Adrian exit the inn in search of the convenience store. They waited till he was out of sight and they made their way in. 
' hi, how can i help you?' old man Joe was asking the bunch as they approached him.
Jordan who had been infuriated by the sight of his brother, walked up quickly to him and dug his teeth in to his flesh. He suddenly felt more powerful and his senses sprang to life. He turned his head to the direction of Jayda's room. He left the hypnotized man there as he headed toward jayda.
some one suddenly rapped on the door and Jayda asked who it was. There was no reply and she instantly became scared and terrified. she quickly threw on a shirt and jeans. The knock came again.
' who is there'
No reply. 
The door suddenly came crashing down. She screamed and fell to the ground her hands above her head. She slowly raised her head to see the four people standing at the entrance to the room. She tried to run in to the bathroom but Jordan moved with the speed of lightning and was suddenly in front of her in a split second. she screamed the moment she saw him behind her. He struck her hard with the back of his hand and she fell to the floor in a faint. He asked them to tie her up while they waited for Adrian.
