----------------------8:45AM
I managed to return to the portal back to the New York Central. It seemed like a mass of swirling mist in a doorway and the transition through it wasn’t much different. If you didn’t know it was a portal, you might have thought that it was a doorway with mist in it. I found myself back in the room with all the portals that led to all the different hunts clan centres. ‘Damn you Hunts master’ I complained in my head as I walked towards the elevator. ‘You knew all along didn’t you, and you still know now.’ A the small platform was on the ground floor I had to press a small bottom and wait as it raised to my level, which it did with little time wasted. I stepped on the platform and descended to ground floor. I knew who to look for evidence, but I was unsure what evidence I should be looking for.
I walked out of the room into a dark hallway that led back to the front. I was in deep thought. If the hunts master saw that I was trying to implicate Rose, he would do everything to make sure I wasn’t. He was restricting my freedoms so that I wouldn’t, but I knew that eventually he would make a mistake and I would be able to get the evidence I wanted. I stepped back into the front entrance. I decided that I should get my case. I walked back up to the man behind the front desk who I had handed it to earlier. I looked around the room. You could see the windows into the hunts masters office from where I stood. I could see that he was looking down at me, scrutinising my every move. I had to really be careful or else he would interfere again.
I focused my attention back on the person behind the desk.
“Hello again” I started. “I was here earlier, I’m wish to retrieve my case”
“Certainly sir, could I just see your ID?”
I reached into my pocket to retrieve my ID. As I did I looked back up at the windows. I could no longer see the hunts master through them. I put my ID on the desk. He looked at it carefully then smiled.
“Ok, Ill give you your case now sir”
He reached down below the counter, for the case. I wasn’t done snooping in areas I wasn’t supposed to be in yet, not by a long chance. The man behind the counter placed the desk on the table with the handle towards me.
“Thank you” I replied smiling at the man.
“No problem sir.” He replied.
I reached over and grabbed the handle of the case. I picked it up, then turned around and ran straight into the hunts master.
“Gah” I yelled in shock.
“Careful, watch who you bump into” he growled angrily. “And you know how I know Rose is not working with the dragons?” he continued menacingly.
I just shrugged in response.
“If you go to the prized hallway where we keep parts of the remains of several recently slain creatures, you will find the hide of the dragon, that me and many others saw her slay in the academy arena.”
“Well then, I think I shall just make a trip there then” I replied.
He just laughed and walked off into an adjacent hallway. I knew where this hallway was, it was the one that I had walked into after I first came into the hunts clan central. It was right next to the front area. I was really interested in seeing this hide. If its existence is proved, it would be very hard for me to prove my case. I entered the hallway and stood there. I looked back and fourth across the many remains that aligned the walls, till I found it, the remains of the red dragon.
I approached it quickly. It looked genuine. There was a sign by it which Read ‘A dragon intruder, slain by Rose.’
Damn looks like she did slay a dragon. I thought. I ran my hand along the hide. Something felt wrong about it. I moved my way up to its head. It still felt quite wrong, the skin seemed to by bumpy and skinny, it really didn’t feel like dragon skin at all, it also seemed to be much too thin.
I slowly put my case on the ground. I stared at the dragon a little more and then turned my attention back to the case. I entered the combination on both locks and watched them flip open. I reached in and pulled out my magnifying glass. I walked back to the hide and eyed it carefully. It looked like spots, in fact it almost looked like the dragon had some sort of acne. Then it hit me. Dragon acne. Dragons shed their skin when they come down with a case of dragon acne. It happens every 10 years. Rose hadn’t slain the dragon, in fact she had even worked to ensure that she could get his hide. I have you now Rose. I thought. All I needed to do now was to go to the video room, get the tape of where Rose was supposed to have slain the dragon, watch it carefully, then confront the hunts master with the evidence. I looked at my watch. Solved in less then 2 hours. There is nothing more the hunts master can do to save Rose from implication.

-------------------------8:55AM
I placed the glass back into the case and shut it, then locked it by rearranging the number code. I hastily walked out of the hallway. I had to find out the date and time that Rose had supposedly slain the dragon. The hunts master would probably give me this as he tried to defend Roses innocence. I quickly gazed around the front entrance in search for the hunts master but aside from the normal guards and field operatives hurrying about on their daily duty, he was nowhere to be seen. I approached the workers behind the desk again and queried the hunts masters’ location.
“The hunts master will return shortly, I do not know his current location. If you could just wait here thanks.”
I nodded in reply and then walked over to sit down on the waiting chairs.
Rose opened her eyes but couldn’t see much. She felt a little light headed and weak but the only thing that was apparent when she wearily opened her eyes was an uncomforting darkness which surrounded her. She began to sit up, her head was spinning, she almost felt like loosening all her muscles and just let herself fall back to lie down but she forced herself to overcome the lazy feeling that she had. She shook her head a little bit, it seemed to clear her mind a little bit. She then attempted to bring her hand up to her forehead but the ascent of her hand was arrested by the tension of something holding her back. She shook her hand a little bit and a noise sounded like a chain rattling. She had no idea where she was.
“Hello?” She called a little nervously. No one responded.
“Hello?” she called again a little more loudly this time. The only sound she heard was the sound of her voice which seemed to echo a little bit. The ambience of the echo felt like a reasonably small metal room. Suddenly without warning a bright overhead lit up. This light blinded Rose and her free hand shot up to shield her eyes and the light forced her to squint. Rose slowly grew accustomed to the light and as she saw the room started to grow in detail. Her vision was a little blurry, but she could make out the walls, the chain that bound her and the light source.
To the left a door opened. In walked a man with a suit and dark glasses. He was carrying a young girl. She was tied up and gagged. He roughly put her down on the cold metal floor, then turned around and walked out with no words or no change in facial expression. After the man closed the door, she heard him bolt it and lock it in several places. Rose looked at the girl. She looked quite scared and was shaking a little bit, but she recognised her.
“Your Haley” Rose suddenly said.
Haley looked back at her, in a little bit of fear and a little bit of awe. She nodded slowly.
‘What do these people want with me and Haley?’ Rose wondered.
“March 8th 4:00AM. That was the match up between Rose and the Dragon. One Month ago. Ask anyone, they saw it.” The hunts master growled.
“Ok I believe you” I replied.
“Good shall I expect no more distractions as you carry on about your work?” The hunts master asked menacingly. “Cause I have this expected attack that I am supposed to prepare for.”
“I shall leave you be” I replied. ‘Until I present you with the video of Rose betraying the hunts clan’ I continued in thought.
The hunts master turned and left to walk back up to his office. I walked the other direction back towards the surveillance room. To be honest I almost couldn’t wait to show the hunts master the evidence. He was acting like a real jerk and it would be give me pleasure to implicate his niece and himself in a minor cover up. It would make it even better if the magical creatures did attack today because that would mean that I could prove Rose gave the magical creatures intelligence and the sentence would be even harsher for the both of them.
I reached the video room in very little time. Same procedure as before I thought to myself. The hunts master still had not realised that I was had level 7 clearance so I was able to use my ID card in the slot. The light turned green when it granted me access. ‘Well its now or never’ I figured, ‘I go in, I go in all the way.’ I retrieved my card from the slot then opened the door into the surveillance room. I held my breath then entered.

---------------------------9:00AM
As soon as I walked in I picked up the hunts clan stunner. I didn’t care about finesse any more, I just wanted the tapes.
“You again?” The surveillance operator asked turning around on his chair.
“Yes me again” I replied holding up the stunner.
“My my the huntsmaster will be angry with you”
“Shut up” I replied. “Give me some video feed from the academy.” I said firmly.
“Ok, but the hunts mast” he replied.
“I don’t care about the hunts master, once I see this he won’t be able to do anything. Give me the feed for 4:00AM March 8th when Rose battled the dragon in the hunts clan arena.”
“ok its your life” the guy said turning around to find the footage.
Haley was still very much shaken even after Rose managed to undo her gag and untie the ropes.
“Wh…What do they want from us”? Haley cried after a short silence.
“I don’t know” Rose replied in an attempt to comfort Haley.
Haley looked up to Rose who was desperately trying to seem calm and comforting but the fact of the matter was Rose was just as lost as Haley.
“I.. I know who you are” Haley said after another short awkward silence. “You’re my brothers boyfriend.”
“That’s right” Rose replied.
“My brother will save us, he and gramps can save us, I know it.”
‘Looks like these guys have something against the Jake’ Rose thought to herself. Could it be that these guys were targeting Jake for some evil plot?
“Yeah they probably will” Rose replied to comfort Haley.
“You don’t believe me do you?” Haley said back softly. “My brother and Grand father and I are dragons. I can show you.” Haley transformed into a dragon.
“I know about that” Rose replied. “I know they will rescue us. Don’t worry, everything will be just fine.”
Rose hugged Haley. “Everything will be alright” she repeated. Her thoughts on the other hand were very different.
‘If this is a trap for Jake, I have to make sure he doesn’t come here.’ Rose closed her eyes. ‘I wish I could contact you Jake but so long as you do not come to rescue me, you will be alright.’
Suddenly they heard a loud bang from the door. They heard it slowly being unlocked then they heard a click. The door slowly opened. A woman walked in, then closed the door.
“Who are you?” Rose asked at her.
“My codename is Lavenderpaw. I am here on an order from my ‘employers.’ Neither of you will be harmed, we hope, but that all depends on certain events which will happen today”
“What events will occur today?” Rose asked back.
“Nothing that you are cleared to know about” Lavenderpaw replied. “Be a good captive and your chances of being hurt become lower. Be a bad captive, and we shall take appropriate measures. Understand?”
“No wait” Rose replied. “Why are we here?”
“Lets just say your collateral to make sure everything that happens today happens smoothly and effectively.”
“What do you mean?” Rose replied getting frantic.
“Trust me you do not want to know” Lavenderpaw laughed as she turned around and headed back towards the exit.
“No” Haley Yelled suddenly getting angry as she turned dragon and charged towards Lavenderpaw. Lavenderpaw swiftly turned around and knocked Haley really hard against the wall.
“Remember, be good and we shall not have to use force.” She turned back towards the door, and walked out, shutting the door behind her and locking it.
After tracing Roses movements from the time she had ‘slain’ the dragon I had finally found what I needed. There he was, plain and alive. They had used a mixture to simulate his death. It was all plain in front of me.
“Give me this sequence on a tape” I ordered the surveillance operator.
“Ok then but still don’t expect the hunts man to welcome this evidence with open arms” he replied.
I was a little bemused that in an agency so highly advanced and high tech as this that they still used VHS tapes as a medium to record their video surveillance to. I guess that some departments can be a little slow with their updates. He put it on the tape, I didn’t need much, just the few minutes which showed the American Dragon waking up in Roses presence. It appeared that there was another hunts clan member present at that moment but I didn’t care about that, we could always catch him later. Almost instantly the recording was done. At least they had high speed recording even if the technology was outdated.
I dropped the hunts clan stun gun and picked up the tape.
“Thank you for your cooperation” I said to the surveillance operator. I picked up my case then I rushed out of the room.
I walked very quickly, back through the hallway it was dark but I did not care. I had the evidence to shut the hunts master up and I couldn’t wait to present him with it.
I walked out to the front desk. I could see through the windows that he was still in his office. I wondered how he would react to the evidence. I knew that there was nothing he could do against me now that I had the evidence and my case was successful. I reached the stairs that led up to his office, I can tell you I was getting excited. A case solved in just over 2 hours is legendary stuff. Its lucky that I had the lucky break with the 88 or 89 or I might still have been searching for who to find some evidence on.
I didn’t bother to knock. I just opened the door and I walked in.
“What are you doing?” he asked looking around the very second I entered.
“I have it, I have the evidence” I said walking over to the desk and putting the tape on the desk. “This tape from the surveillance room shows Rose aiding the American dragon after she was supposed to have slain it.”
The hunts master stopped for a second. He slowly walked over to the tape and looked at it in silence. Then he looked up.
“From the surveillance room you say?” he asked.
“Yes” I replied.
“Did I not tell you to keep out of there?” he asked his voice becoming deeper and more threatening.
“Yes, but this evidence counteracts anything”
“But nothing. So Many times today, I have found you in a place that your not supposed to be. All of this just to try and frame Rose? I don’t care for your computer edited image.” He began yelling. He then pressed a button on his desk.
“But” I replied.
“I don’t care you will not talk your way out of this one. I’m sick of your snooping and I’m sick of your attempts at framing Rose. TWICE you entered the surveillance room. You disobeyed everything I said.”
At that moment 2 hunts clan guards entered the room.
“Take this conman and lock him up” The hunts master said angrily.
“We have no jails for hunts clan members” the guards said.
“Then put him in the same place we lock up magical creatures.”
“That Jail?” one asked.
“Yes that one” he replied angrily. “Sir your service here is terminated” he said as the 2 hunts clan members roughly grabbed me, one under each arm.
“But you cannot deny the evidence” I called back at him, but he refused to listen. He just stayed at his desk as the guards dragged me away to the magical creature prison.

----------------------------9:10AM
“The twins will be here in about 10 Minutes” One of the men told Lavenderpaw.
“They cannot go in with the other two. They are too young. They need special care.” Lavenderpaw replied.
“We do not have special child care facilities” He replied back.
“Surely your organisation can handle 2 little children?” Lavenderpaw smirked back. “Or will it be too difficult?”
“Alright, we shall find a way, but I still say we just chuck’em in the cell.”
“I say we don’t and what I say goes” Replied Lavenderpaw.
She watched as the man nodded then turned and walked back down the hallway in order to prepare for the arrival of the 2 twins from Washington. ‘Some people have no heart’ She thought to herself.
They dragged me into the room with all the portals. I didn’t offer up much resistance. Once Huntsclan central in Washington found out about this, the hunts master would be toast.
“Your making a huge mistake” I told them but they just let it slip in through one ear and out the other. I knew they wouldn’t listen, I just liked the sound of my own voice saying that.
The portal to the prison was on the ground floor. They did not need to go up on one of those lifts which would have been just about impossible for 3 people at once. I glanced in amazement after we stepped through the portal. The Prison was even darker then the New York central (I didn’t think that was possible). The far wall was lined with glowing metal cages. The metal was glowing because it was covered with a special electromagnetic energy that would zap anything that touched it. That ensured that the magical creature would not be able to break out by attacking the bars on the cages.
Each cage was filled with 4 or 5 different creatures, such as mermaids, trolls, brownies and the lot. They dragged me past the row of cages, I could feel the eyes of all the creatures that stared at me some were sad, some were angry. I didn’t feel like interpreting their emotions as I had much more to worry about. Finally they stopped me in front of an empty cage. Down the end of the row of cages there was a desk with switches for each cage. Only the person behind the desk could switch the switches and each one would open a specific cage. It had seemed that the hunts master ha phoned ahead cause the switch operator seemed to know what he was doing. The 2 guards signalled him and he opened the cage. They threw me in, and the cage door promptly swung shut. He then flicked the switch to activate the green energy.
The cage was dark. I couldn’t see much, the only light that was available was the green light emanating from the electromagnetic field around the bars.
“Ack look it’s a hunts scum” I heard from the cage next to me. The cages on either side of me had creatures in them. I sat in the middle of the cages as the cages were designed in a way that allowed filthy beings could stick their hands through and try to grab me.
“Looks like they throw their own kind in here now” another voice laughed female this time.
I just sat there and sighed. I knew they would talk filth about me, I just didn’t listen. ‘Man the hunts master is going to pay’ I thought to myself.
The hunts master unlocked the case his hunt staff was in. It was nearly time for his shooting practice session at the hunts clan shooting range. He pulled it out and had a look at it. Top of the range he had just got it last week. It was a gift from Washington after he had managed to help them take down a highly evasive griffin last month. He ran his hand along its smooth side. It was light but very powerful and accurate as well. He was yet to miss a static target with it and he only missed a moving target one (When he first got it and aimed above the target to make way for the arc of the shot, but then found this one was so accurate there was none.)
His eyes then caught sight of the tape on his desk. ‘Rose..’ he thought. ‘Could it be true? Could everything they said about you be true?’ He walked over to the desk and picked up the tape. ‘Do I dare watch it? Do I want to know the truth? Can I handle the truth?’
The hunts master put the tape down again and closed his eyes. “Maybe some secrets are best left un revealed” he said out loud. His focus was still set on the tape. “Should I watch it? I don’t know how I could react if Rose was not innocent. Surely she would never interact with a filthy being would she?”
He sighed. “No, I know Rose is innocent and to prove it to myself, I shall watch the tape. Theres nothing to worry about.”
He picked up the tape and walked to his personal office television. He put in the tape. ‘Now to press play and then I can discredit this evidence’ He thought. But he was interrupted by a loud crash. He stopped and ran to the door.
“Hey I heard there were some hunts punks here I could mangle” A familiar voice said.
“Dragon!!!” The hunts master said to himself. He ran back to his desk and picked up his staff. The attack that he had been preparing for all morning had finally begun.
