Story Title: Ghosthunters

Chapter Thirty Nine

Xen and his friends came up with an idea. "I feel this is going to work." Jason said. The others nodded in agreement.

"I guess we can handle this." said Carlos.

"I knew with Xen this thinking stuff will be amazing." Everyone chuckled at Devon's remark.

"I better start going now before Riele-Rose finds out I am gone." Xen stood up and was about to take his leave when Amelia stood up to meet him.

"Be safe okay?" She said. Xen nodded touching her cheeks. "And my mom, can you help me find a way to get her here?" Amelia asked.

Xen nodded and bade them goodbye.

Amelia sighed. It was like there was this empty void she was feeling inside of her but she doesn't know why she is feeling that way. Clarissa noticed and she came to meet her. "Are you ok?" She asked.

Amelia placed her hand on her chest and said, "My heart feels empty...like something is missing."

Tamara who heard the conversation joined them and said, "Maybe you are missing Xen, I mean you guys just shared a passionate kiss."

Amelia shook her head. "That's not how I'm feeling."

Devon and the rest noticed and they joined them. "Is everything ok?" Carlos asked.

Clarissa worried about her friend answered, "She said she's feeling a void in her heart."

"Could it be you are missing Xen all of a sudden?" Norman asked.

Tamara answered, "That's the same thing I said."

"I don't know guys." Amelia answered feeling all weak and faint.

"Why don't you get some rest?" Devon suggested.

"I guess I do need it." Amelia was taken to her room by Clarissa who stayed with her.

Xen arrived at the hideout, he took off his coat and placed it on the chair. He went into the kitchen looking for Laura but she wasn't there. He searched the rooms in the hideout and still there was no sign of him. He asked the ghostseers in the room and everyone said they hadn't seen her. "Where is Riele?" Xen asked.

"She said she will be right back but she didn't give us a specific direction where she was going." One of the ghosthunters answered.

Xen was becoming uncomfortable with the whole thing. He didn't know what to do. "I am going to search for her." He told the ghost seers.

They nodded.

Xen grabbed his coat and was about leaving when Riele showed up. "Hey." she greeted with a smile and a peck on his cheeks. "Where have you been?"

Irritated by her kiss and hug but not wanting to show it, Xen smiled and said, "I went out for a fresh air since we will be saving Carlos soon."

"OH!" She said.

Changing the topic, Xen asked; "Where's Laura?"

"She didn't tell you?" Riele said looking shock.

Xen looked at her not understanding the question; "Tell me what?" He asked.

"She said she needs to go somewhere but she didn't tell me where and you know she doesn't like me that much and I didn't bother asking her further questions."

"But she should have told."

Riele shrugged, "I did tell her to wait for you before leaving but you know how she is, she didn't listen to me."

Xen nodded. "Alright then!" He took his coat and left to his room. He was relaxing on his bed when Riele came to join him.

"What's up with you? You are not yourself lately. Are you sure you are okay?" Riele asked climbing on top of him.

If she was really his girlfriend, he would have permitted it but she's not. He pulled her off him, "I should start making plans on how to save Carlos, don't you think?" He stood up and left her alone in the room.

Riele noticing something was up called Dalton.

~~~

Nurse Christen's body has been gotten and is in the transformator. Laura's body has just arrived and is undergoing deep cleansing. "Make sure there are no mistakes." Dalton commanded.

The ghosts chorused "Yes sire."

Dalton was watching is success when a beep came in. He opened the communicator and he saw it was Riele. He answered, "I have gotten the body."

"That's not what I wanted to talk to you about." Riele answered. Dalton noticed her voice was a bit shaky so he asked her, "What's wrong?"

"Xen is acting strange. I think he knows who I am and if he knows who I am that means he knows everything."

Dalton laughed. Riele annoyed at his outburst of laughter asked, "What is so funny in what I said."

Dalton answered her saying, "I saw that coming but do not let your mind be troubled. If Dalton is just like his father, I know he will go on with the plan...let him go on with the plan. does he know Amelia's mother is dead?"

"Not yet."

"That means he doesn't know the new plan. Make sure he doesn't find out Amelia's mother is dead and remember, we are after Amelia and not Xen." Riele felt a sudden relief at Dalton's words. He hung up the call. "Make it snappy, the show is about to begin." He told them as they hurried up with the processes.
