"And what did she mean by Infamous Mr Hot?" He asked and turned to look at the guy he was talking to.
He was so disappointed when he saw that Amos' attention has been on Joanna for a long time now.
He ignored them and shifted his attention to Raymond and Audrey who had dived into a conversation.
A few minutes later, Derrick, Raymond and Audrey were talking as if they had known each other all their lives.
This made Kyle jealous out of his wits.
"What is so special about him?" He scoffed, his lips pouting. "I bet the only thing he knows is how to flirt with other men's women".
His deadly glares moved from Derrick's to Raymond's smiling face.
"We will have a shoot at the beach in a few days. I am hoping to have you and Miss Butterfly with me," Raymond expressed. He averted his gaze to where the quiet Joanna has been standing for a while now.
He gazed at her affectionately with hopes that she would reply to his offer.
If only he knew that she didn't hear a single word he said then he wouldn't have been so hopeful.
"Really?" Audrey's excited voice forced Raymond to take his eyes off Joanna's face.
"Hmm...," He smiled and shook his head affirmatively.
"I assure you, it will be a lot of fun if you and Joanna join us," Derrick added.
"I would love to...,"
"Don't you guys think it's time we go back to important matters we were discussing before the diversion?" Kyle interrupted.
His harsh tone and stern expression showed his inner feeling even without him having to say the words.
"We have been listening to your conversations for over ten minutes. It's not like we don't have better things to use our time for other than listening...,"
"And what are you insinuating now?" Derrick retorted, frowning.
"Are you trying to say that our conversation holds no importance and it's a waste of time...,"
"You said so yourself so don't try to push the blame on me," He replied with his chin held up.
"You...,"
"He might have sounded a bit rude but he is telling the truth. what we should be dealing with now is the earlier attack and not spending time catching up," Amos interrupted sternly.
"Indeed catching those fools who have been causing havoc in our Kingdom should be our priority. I can always catch up with Raymond and Derrick some other time," Audrey supported.
Derrick and Raymond exchanged secret glances after her utterances. The others were too preoccupied with their own things to notice their suspicious expressions.
"Ok, so I will start from what I observed," Kyle said and moved to the centre of where they stood in the form of a circle.
"From what I noticed I can boldly say that those people we encountered were of three groups," Kyle who just took the centre stage informed them cool-headedly.
"Without a doubt, I know that the first group were vampires....,"
"I also noticed the same thing," Joanna agreed with a nod of the head.
The expression on Amos and Audrey's faces showed they agreed with the two of them.
"The second group, although I could not ascertain what they really were....,"
"Why don't we just say they are a group of beings with mysterious powers that none has ever witnessed?" Derrick interrupted abruptly.
His eyes wavered when he saw the suspicions in their eyes as they stared at him.
"I mean, which of us here has ever seen anyone who shoots lasers from their eyes and controls things with his mind and teleports?" Derrick asked.
He tried his best not to reveal how anxious he was.
"If we don't call them mysterious beings with unknown powers then what other title do you think is suitable for them?" He quizzed. His eyes darted from one face to the other.
"No one is arguing with you over the title we should address them so, why are you acting all defensive for no reason?" Kyle mumbled.
"That...," Derrick paused, not knowing what exactly to say that would not make him look even more suspicious.
"The last attack was the strangest," Raymond finally broke the silence that had existed for three minutes.
"And why do you say it's strange?" Joanna questioned seriously. "Is it because it had no form?"
"No," Raymond asserted. He moved two steps forward so that he had a clearer view of her face.
"The fact that it had no form was strange but... the strangest of it all is why it didn't attack you when it had the opportunity to do so but chose to attack Amos instead," Raymond expressed.
Joanna stole a glance at the guy by her side after Raymond's analysis.
"Rick saw the shadow following you immediately you stomped out of our midst. It had the chance to attack you before Amos ran after you but why didn't it?... Why does it feel like Amos was his target and that is why it lured him using you...,"
"But why on Earth would Amos be his target?" Derrick demanded.
He accessed Amos with his eyes from head to toe. "He has no special title but is like every normal guy out there so why on Earth would he become the shadow's target for no reason?" Derrick asked, his gaze glued on Amos' emotionless expression.
"I am not hiding anything so it's no use for the two of you to look at me that way," Amos muttered. He wrapped his hands around his chest.
"We didn't say anything," Derrick whispered. He lowered his gaze from Amos' body afterwards.
"Dealing with the first group won't be difficult since they are vampires. And I also believe we stand a chance against the second group if we joined hands together....,"
"The third group will prove to be very difficult," Audrey helped Kyle to complete the sentence.
"I mean it's easy to defeat what we know but how can we go against a being that has no form if it attacks again?" Audrey stated her greatest concerns.
