The screen light illuminated their faces as Lucas scrolled through photos of his employees.
When it reached the middle, Lydia’s pupils shrank and she pointed at the person on the screen. "That’s him!"
Lucas took a closer look and waved at John. When he came closer, Lucas pointed at the man on the screen.
"Hurry up and tell me his location, and also see if he can still be contacted."
John nodded solemnly and called the person in charge of security. After talking for a few minutes, he glanced at Lucas and spoke. "He’s still alive." He then proceeded to tell them the location.
Lucas nodded and glanced at the two of them. "I will go first. You two call Allison and Malia, and go directly to that location."
With threats at a lower level, Lucas planned to train them from time to time. This way, they could gather some experience in fighting.
Both nodded solemnly. Lydia called the girls, and John went to get the car.
Lucas walked outside, and his body melted into the shadows.
While traveling, he couldn’t help but think of Robert, and whether they could make their experiments speed up if they had a live specimen.
The dead ones are valuable as well, but a living Wendigo is something else. Besides, who would pity a human eater?
While thinking about all of this, his body flashed in the shadows a couple of times, and in a few seconds, he arrived at the location.
Even if that Wendigo attacked, he had the confidence to reach the place in a few seconds and stop him.
In the series, when Lydia had some sort of a vision, it was already too late, as that event was most likely happening already. But with his speed, that problem didn’t exist.
Lucas then shook his head and concentrated on the matter at hand. The place where he arrived was a more prosperous community. Since it was already dark, there were only two people he sensed on the street.
Or, to be more precise, he sensed one person and one monster.
Not far from him, there was the same security guard from Lydia’s vision. He was walking and looking around, not knowing that a predator had set his eyes on him.
In the bushes on his right, there was a man crouching there. He had ferocious, barred teeth, and his eyes had a white glow in them.
As he sensed his prey coming closer, saliva poured down from his mouth, and an excited expression appeared on his face.
Just as he was about to pounce on the guard, he was suddenly put in a chokehold, and he struggled as his face turned purple from the lack of oxygen.
"Shhh...go to sleep, everything’s going to be fine," Lucas whispered in his ear with a kind smile on his face.
Then watched the man faint as he handled him extra carefully. By the time all of this happened, the security guard had already walked onto another street.
Lucas then glanced at the face of the Wendigo and was surprised to see it was the one that attacked Scott in the hospital.
After waiting for a few minutes, Allison, Malia, Lydia, and John arrived. He waved at them, and they hurriedly approached him.
"Is that...?" Allison pointed her finger at the Wendigo. To them, it looked just like a high school kid.
"It’s him!" Lydia’s voice trembled and answered with certainty.
John took a look too, but he didn’t have pity for the kid, since he knew that under that face there was a man-eating monster.
Lucas glanced at them for a second, then gave John the Wendigo’s ID. "This is where he lives. Did you bring that stuff?"
John looked at the address and nodded, then went to the trunk and brought out a box. The girls came closer as they were each curious about what they were talking about.
What was inside was a high-tech-looking face mask and two pairs of larger cuffs. Lucas took the mask and placed it on the Wendigo’s face, then from behind, he locked it in.
Then he also did that to his hands and feet. After finishing, he looked at the stunned expression that the girls had. "What?"
Lydia glanced at the Wendigo in worry and asked, "Is that really enough?"
In that moment, the Wendigo groaned as he woke up, which startled her. Just as the Wendigo tried to struggle, a rush of electricity emitted from his cuffs.
"Aghhhh!" His body twitched continuously, then he fainted again.
The girls didn’t know when it appeared, but in Lucas’s hand there was something that resembled a remote.
He took his finger off the button and looked at Lydia with a smile. "You were saying?"
