This was incredibly stupid for someone who prides himself on being really hard to catch. It was supposed to be a quick mission yet his condition got the best of him. Too many hectic days lately, he forgot to snack between jobs and he fainted like a damn idiot in the middle of a lab he was supposed to steal data from.
Before he fully collapsed he managed to press on the beacon coin and send a distress signal out. Little did he know his sister was accompanied by his former business partner (& current boyfriend) when it was sent out. He honestly hopes Vivian won't have to get in danger because of him, it's not worth the trouble.
When he wakes up he's tied to a chair in a very familiar position, but just a different place. The way he feels is familiar too which makes him curse under his breath.
Out in the corner he also spots a familiar presence.
"Well, well, well looks like we meet again other me. I thought you were already well adjusted enough to not have to see me anymore, yet here you are. Making trouble for people who care about you again aren't you hmmm?"
Lycaon was just on his way back from the Video Store, where he was helping the proxies with some errands. He didn't expect that Miss Vivian would also be there, but at the same time he wasn't very surprised, knowing of the girl's infatuation with Lord Phaeton. The atmosphere between them was still a bit awkward, but at least she didn't seem opposed to the relationship he had with her brother...
Before he even managed to make any small talk, though, something unexpected happened. Miss Vivian suddenly took out a small device, which looked like an elegant brooch with a purple gem. It was vibrating softly and that couldn't have been good, judging by the sheer horror on her face. Upon opening the brooch, they saw some coordinates on a small screen inside.
As she explained, it was a distress signal, and Hugo never sent those. Usually he would push through hell and still wouldn't ask for help, meaning this time it must have been dire. Lycaon tried to keep his calm, not to make the young lady even more paniced than she already was... but deep inside his instincts told him to run as fast as he could to save his partner.
That wouldn't do, though, they needed a plan. So first, they checked the coordinates with a map. "Shit," the wolf muttered under his breath, a clear signal he was losing his cool. "Ah, pardon me," he apologized quickly, putting his mask of elegance back on, "it is just that... I know of this place. It is a government research facility, that is currently under the Mayor's investigation. There is a strong suspicion of illegal experiments being done on people." The thiren bit his lip, looking both worried and angry. If they dare touch his Hugo... he will rip their throats out and hang them at the gates... no, no, no, this wasn't a good time to go wild. This was a delicate situation. He needed to go to Mr Mayflower, get the floor plans for the facility, then get clearance to infiltrate it and get to his boyfriend asap. If he just tried to break in without any preparation, he could make it worse.
"Miss Vivian, please, leave this matter to me. I will save him no matter what," he promised with determination. "It would be best, if you and Robin could stay on the outside and monitor the situation in case something goes wrong." He knew that if anything happened to his little sister, Hugo would personally pluck every little bit of fur from his tail. This was a dangerous situation and it's better if he deals with it himself. Now, to the Mayor...
