Severed Connection

"What is the matter, Lent?" Kaden asked without preamble, getting on his feet. 

"What happened?" Liam looked on quizzically too, wondering what else had gone wrong this time around.  

"Storm's friends have been kidnapped! Storm seems to believe that the people that had been behind the attack on Liam and his family, had also been behind this one. I don't know how she knows that, but seeing as she is not an ordinary human, I am sure she has her ways. They want her for their safe release. But she is on her way to the clan, with Jutul. They had met the house turned upside down." Lent reported, rubbing his forehead tiredly with his thumb and index finger when he was done. 

Kaden couldn't believe what he was hearing. How had the mercenaries known of Storm? They must have seen the bounty then. 

Quickly he strolled out of the room, stopping when he heard Lent trying to resist Liam from leaving the room.
