Chapter 12: A Capsule

Raine was not in the mood to go out and hunt that night, electing to stay in her bedroom for the night. However, it didn't mean that Raine already went to bed and slept early. Instead, she opened the widescreen monitor in her room and started a group video call with her people.

Raine wanted to verify a lot of updates with them, and she was going through it carefully. Each and every evidence acquired was looked at skeptically. Raine wanted to validate it and make sure that all were entirely accurate herself.

Her team must have been cursing her by now. After all, who wouldn't be after bugging them about Tyrone's movements and how they fit with the timeline the Lollipop Boy saved her instead of letting them sleep early? 

"Are you sure there are no discrepancies?" Raine questioned with a deep frown on her face. "How about the CCTV footage? Did you make sure that everything is authentic and not fake or edited?" 

She stared at the screen with narrow eyes as she replayed the video copies Lyne sent her for the umpteenth time. There were comparison reports from Mia, who was the best when it came to matters like this. And yet, Raine was still far from satisfied.

The conclusion she came to was different from what the video presented.

"Boss, it's authentic," Mia answered." Those two men were present in different locations. Thus, they are two different people." 

Raine bit her lower lip. It was a mannerism that she only did whenever she felt conflicted. Mia gulped at their Boss's skepticism. She checked every single detail and found nothing suspicious at all.

"Boss, I checked it numerous times already…" Mia murmured as she tried not to blink. They have gone through this process for almost half an hour now.

Raine exhaled loudly, "Alright, fine. I guess my hunch is wrong for the first time. Anyways, you guys can spend more time with your loved ones while we're here. I'll give you all a day off tomorrow. I plan to delay my flight to country D for probably a week more."

"Thank you, Boss!" 

The three answered in chorus. Lyne, Mia, and Levi were her key people at the Moonlight Squad like her three musketeers since the rest of the eleven members were only combat-trained personnel only meant for fighting.

"Dismissed." 

Turning off the screen, she put on her robe and went out to her balcony to get some air. Her footsteps were heavy as she stepped into the chilly air. 

She clicked her tongue in annoyance. She had lost the vital booklist she had worked hard to retrieve. It was supposed to be a success! She spent many days planning on acquiring the booklist. But now it was gone. 

Raine squeezed her eyes shut. 

The list did not only contain names of important individuals, but it had very sensitive details about the supernatural creatures in power worldwide. It would have made her job a lot more manageable if she had that list in her hands.

"Damn it!"

Raine grunted with a crumpled face. She wanted to give that booklist to her father as soon as he woke up from his coma. She could already imagine how the old man would smile. She knew how her father wanted it so badly. She even learned to stripdance for that particular mission! 

Frustrated, she headed back inside her bedroom and stepped out of the door. Going down the stairs, she passed through the familiar hallways filled with numerous paintings.

Raine slowed down her tracks and eyed each one of them.

Each of the individuals shown was an outstanding person. As such, they were immortalized to stay in the Moon Clan's memories. All of them were captured in full-body portraits, held up in large distinctive golden frames to commemorate them. They were portraits of prominent deceased people in the Moon Clan who significantly contributed to the clan.

"And there you are…" 

Raine stopped at the portrait of a beautiful woman who was her mother, Ava. 

Ava was incredibly gorgeous in the painting. She was wearing a white gown and a necklace with an enormous ruby pendant. Red, like the color of her mother's red hair. The same with hers, which was a rich red auburn shade, like how her eyes color turned whenever she was in intense emotions.

Raine didn't know much about her mother since she died giving birth to her. But his father would often tell many stories about her that Raine could tell how dearly her father loved her mother. 

According to him, Raine, too, loved wearing white clothes like her mother. She got almost all of her traits from her mother and nothing from her father, Marcus.

She touched her mother's face, her hand lingering before going down towards the ruby pendant. Raine placed her fingertip on it as she waited for a moment for it to grant her entry. 

The ruby necklace hid a scanner that unlocked a secret door. The painting soon moved to the side, revealing a very high-tech metal door that only authorized personnel like her could enter. 

After getting thoroughly scanned, the door opened for her passage. It was an elevator to an underground facility of the Moon Clan. She pressed the number of the floor where her father was staying.

The guards who protected the floor bowed their heads in greeting to her. Raine walked directly to her father's room where a team of medical doctors monitored his condition. He was inside a capsule, with numerous tubes connected to his body.

"How is he?" Raine stared at her father as she stood beside a man in white robes. 

"He's stable, Princess Raine," Doctor Janus answered. 

Raine turned to him with raised eyebrows and hissed, "Are you even sure you all know what you're doing? Are you sure he's not suffering?"

"Princess, we're only doing what the King instructed us to do in case something like this happened to him," the doctor answered.

Raine could tell that something was going on without her knowledge.. Still, she couldn't do anything about it since the only people inside the room were all so loyal to her father that even if she ripped them apart, they would only bring to their graves what her father asked them to do without revealing a single thing.
