of an open doorway in the wall on his right.

  He heard Corina mumble softly “Oh dear.”

  He eyed the others seeing them look nervous with glances aimed at the male and at him. Jinks frowned as the male spoke again “Corina.”

  He heard the firm tone of the male’s voice as Corina spoke with a hint of fear in her voice “Sorry Captain. The plants did it again.”

  Jinks saw the male’s eyes narrow with anger flashing in them who unfolded his arms showing his hands bare and being clawed who spoke in an angry tone “What?!”

  He heard Corina speak again meekly “I told you the plants did it again and we picked him up as a result.”

  Jinks frowned as the male the Captain he assumed lowered his clawed hands with a furious look on his face and heard groaning sounds in the room coming from the other people as he noticed them putting their hands over their ears as Corina did the same. His senses blared warning as the Captain’s eyes turned all black and he covered his ears as the male opened his mouth showing fanged teeth. He heard a loud roaring sound of anger sounding very loud making his ears hurt which he put his fingers in his ears struggling from the pain of them hurting. Jinks eyed the Captain that continued to roar by his movements with mouth still open and grimaced feeling a vibration running through him that his senses told him was coming from the male’s roaring noises.

  Jinks eyed the Captain who moved his mouth forming words he lip read while hearing a loud voice vibrate throughout his skull “You stupid plants with your dratted ratted jokes dumping people onto us to pick up and haul to port! I’m getting sick and tired of this joke! I’m trying to fish around here instead I’m too busy picking up your garbage and hauling it to shore! I’m getting fed up with this joke!”

  He heard a pause as the Captain stopped talking and continued roaring his noises.

  He grimaced as Ramses’ voice sounded in his mind giving him a headache “Jeez have a care will yah? High Council, stop spoiling our fun of dumping people in the ocean. Harrumph what makes you says we’ve been dumping them in King Winter’s Kingdom for fishing boats to pick them up?”

  He heard a pause as Ramses stopped talking followed by the Meritanian giving off a harrumph and speaking “What tracking device are you talking about? Ugh I see you have been rigging our victims with tracking devices and tracking them dumped to King Winter’s Kingdom where their picked up by fishing vessels. Growl we enjoyed doing that!”

  Jinks heard Ramses add in a whining tone “Pretty please don’t make us stop doing that?!”

  He heard a pause followed by “Argh you ruin our fun!”

  Jinks blinked his eyes to discover the scene changed to find he standing in the High Council’s throne room and felt his arms again grabbed by the Hawk head guards in ironclad grips.

  He frowned as Shad spoke sounding amused “Well, well looks whose back. Enjoy your adventure Horus?”

  Jinks in response were to narrow his eyes forming a thin line with his mouth as Onya spoke “Oh never mind the question. Anyway care to produce Lance? We want to talk to him.”

  Jinks stuck out his tongue and gave off a raspberry sound before sticking his tongue back into his mouth while still having a narrowed eyed look.

  He heard Onya sounding annoyed “I take it that’s a no.”

  He frowned as Shad spoke sounding annoyed “You leave us with no choice but to do the test again just to see if there’s any result.”

  Jinks spoke as the Hawks adjusted their hold on his arms “And have you steal his crown like you did before? No I don’t think so.”

  He heard a growl sound from Anubis sounding like the gonoid head warrior was furious as Shad spoke “Oh don’t worry we won’t steal his crown again.”

  Jinks’ senses blared telling him it was a lie folded his arms despite having clawed hands on them as he spoke “Yeah right what you just told me was a lie. You’ll steal his crown again anyway.”

  He glared as Shad and Onya bowed their heads and saw the High Council behind them do random hand gestures and head waving in Human style yes and no gestures. Jinks tapped his foot feeling himself getting impatient with the High Council not responding to his remark and seeing them appearing to be in the middle of a talk among themselves. Jinks heard a loud growl coming from Anubis sounding like he was still furiously angry.

  He spoke with sarcasm while looking at Anubis “Why are you serving those stinking mind walkers? I get the feeling around here that your loyalty is divided. Why don’t you make up your mind and serve who you want instead of having to be a toy back and forth between people?”

  Jinks stared at Anubis who vibrated of anger while sensing it from him and saw the gonoid head warrior’s cat eyes pupils become wider along with his senses blaring warning. Jinks stiffened as Anubis opened his mouth and blinked his eyes finding himself standing in the hallway of the penthouse.

  He frowned as he heard Ramses’ voice speaking with amusement “Hah pity the High Council haven’t figured out how to protect themselves from Anubis’s stadium sized voice especially when he’s roaring it in anger in a room where his voice can echo. Oh well I don’t see the High Council surviving that but don’t worry about the speakers. We managed to transport the speakers out to safety along with some other people in the room too. ”

  He widened his eyes hearing Ramses’ words as the Meritanian paused and then continued “Sorry nothing we can do when Anubis is having one of his angry rages. We can’t manipulate him to shut up due to his mind working differently than what we’re used to. Also we don’t want to make him angrier with our scanning his mind for he can detect us doing it and it always makes him ticked off when we do it. You’ll have to wait till he calms down first to attend to him and the High Council who I sensed have passed away from his roaring noises.”

  Jinks felt he disgusted as he felt the headache stopped as Ramses stopped talking. Jinks heard a throat clearing noise at his side looked to see Gustav who looked a little annoyed by the eyes eying his clothes.

  He spoke “Something I can do for you?”

  Gustav he stared at spoke with disapproval in his voice tone “I suggest you change your clothes while we get those you’re wearing back to their rightful owner.”

  He looked down at himself and shrugged walking towards his bedroom going inside slamming the doors. He went to the closet yanking open the doors and went inside while yanking off the clothes and slippers off his form. He changed into some fresh clothing and put on a pair of sneakers on his feet. He picked up the clothes folding them up and the slippers then walked out of the closet kicking the doors closed. He went to the bedroom doors and yanked open a door with a hand and saw Gustav standing outside still looking annoyed. Jinks without a word handed Gustav the clothes and slippers who without a word snatched them from his hands before fading from view which he figured that the butler was using super speed to get away. He shrugged and walked to the library room to look around and discovered the book he taken out of the chair not in its place on the table. Sighing he walked to a bookshelf and ran his fingers on the book spines reading the titles feeling no connection aimed at them. He backed up shutting his eyes and thrust his finger out aimed at a book spine and felt it between two books. He opened his eyes eyeing the books and pulled the one out on his left to see it was a romance novel by the cover showing a male’s bare chest with a feminine author name blared on it in larger letters than the title. Groaning he put the book back and grabbed the book on his right to see it was a book he already read about the deaf female with Alexei Zesky’s last name. Groaning again he placed the book back and went to another bookshelf opposite from the original bookshelf. He eyed a bookshelf and began yanking out books to stare at the covers and reading the titles finding himself not interested in them and finding that most of the books were apparent romance novels.

  Jinks after pulling out his uncounted book discovering it was a romance novel groaned out loud “I don’t believe this. What’s up with the romance novels anyway?”

&
nbsp; Silence was his answer as he felt disgusted left the library room to wander to the TV room which he glared at the TV seeing it was still off by the missing blue light not shining. He felt himself feeling like he wasn’t having anything to do walked out of the TV room heading to the kitchen which he popped open a door to peer inside and stiffened seeing John and Jacqueline in a lip lock appearing to not notice him which he quietly put the door back in its normal place. He groaned going to the elevator to stand and wait for the doors to open. Jinks stood waiting as the doors opened with a ding followed by Gustav walking out who blocked his way repeatedly in his attempt to get into the elevator.

  He snarled finding himself getting annoyed “Get out of my way Gustav.”

  Jinks glared at Gustav who refused to budge shaking his head in a no gesture with fear looks in his eyes.

  He snarled again getting more annoyed “I’m going to the garden for I have nothing to do.”

  Gustav spoke sounding like nervousness in his voice “Its raining outside. Not good weather for that.”

  Jinks fisted his hands eyes boring at Gustav sensing the butler had spoken a lie spoke “You lie, Gustav, now step aside or else.”

  He heard Gustav speaking in foreign language and felt himself compelled to walk away from the living room sensing the butler following him still
