Cynthia looked to Jacob and shrugged, he of all people knew that Rayne didn't play well with others. "Shall we?" She asked, motioning to the portal, before jumping through it.

Virgil turned round as Cynthia came through the portal.
"I can't see anything that would indicate that she was abducted here"

Cynthia waited patiently by the portal for Jacob to come through. "We should wait before guessing. Jacob might be able to smell something you don't."

Virgil looked at Cynthia puzzled.
"How so?"

"Cos of what he is, silly." Cynthia replied in a childish voice.

Jessica groaned. It was too early. "Wake up, sleepyhead" Tender. Gentle. She knew that voice. She opened her eyes slowly, a smile forming on her lips. She rolled over in bed to see Kothar leaning on one elbow, smiling down at her. His fingertips ran lightly up her arm. It tingled. Light streamed through the window, bathing the room in a golden glow. "G'morning" he smiled at her. "Is it morning already?" she asked, softly. "I'm afraid so" "Does that mean I'm late?" "Of course not. Don't go to HQ today. No quests. Just stay here with me." He kissed her lips, then her cheek, down the side of her face to her neck. It tingled, and Jessica bit her lip happily. He switched back and forth between kisses and bites. Down her neck, across to her shoulder, back across her collar bone, down the middle of her body. He disappeared under the sheet, and Jessica laughed. It tickled. He was playing with her. Making her feel what he wanted her to feel. She pulled him back up and kissed him. "Just stay with me today" he smiled between kisses. "Okay" she whispered softly, kissing him again. "Good girl, Jessie" That got her attention. "How do you-" "-I know everything about you, Jessie" His voice had changed, it was harsher. This wasn't pillow talk anymore. He held her neck in his hands. They were rough, cold. It hurt. "Stop it, you're hurting me" she grabbed at his hands, but it just hurt more, like an electric shock. "I know you, Jessie." "Get off! Let go! You're hurting me!" Pain turned to fear, and fear turned to panic. His hands moved round, encompassing her neck, squeezing. She thrashed, but nothing happened. "Jessie..." She opened her eyes, woke up properly. The voice in the speaker kept calling her name. "Jessie... Oh, Jessie..." Her neck still hurt. The collar. Her hands moved to it, instinctively. "No touching, Jessie!" the voice yelled, as electricity ran around the collar and shocked her neck. She moved her hands away, gasping in pain. "How do you know me?" "I did some digging, Jessie. I know who you are." "And who am I?" "Jessie Hadley." He definitely had her attention now. No-one had called her that for ten years. She'd severed all her ties to that name. "You've been a busy little girl, Jessie. You weren't kidding. This isn't your first abduction. It's not even your second! This is your fifth, on this world anyway!" "This world?" "As I understand it, you've let yourself get abducted thirteen times since you were eight, Jessie." He was mocking her. "How very careless of you..."

After having checked his equipment was secured, he stepped through the portal.
At the other side, a ten foot tall, half-man, half-wolf thing emerged. After a few seconds focus, he returned to his usual form.
"So, did I miss anything?" He asked the pair who were still waiting for him.

"Oh so that's what he is" Virgil chuckled.
He looked down at Cynthia.
"You're right, he would be better at tracking"
***
Far away from Jessica's world in a quiet bedroom, Kothar was fast asleep; he had taken Jessica to the portal for her parole meeting early that morning and despite his protests she had insisted that she would be safe without him tagging along. He trusted her so he had drifted off after only an hour or so of worrying. His Omni-Tool suddenly activated, filling the dark room with intense orange light. Kothar woke with a start and shielded his eyes.
"What the....?"
A message tone started beeping incessantly; the emergency contact system the QA had installed. He pressed the recieve button and a loud voice started speaking.
"Attention Kothar! We must inform you that Jessica has gone missing at some point en route to her parole meeting. All available questers have been dispatched on a search and rescue operation. Please remain where you are in case her abducters contact you"
Kothar felt himself go numb when he heard that she had been abducted, the world suddenly lost all sound apart from his own breathing.
'She needs you! Snap out of it man!' He thought
Kothar came back to reality and played the message again. There was no way that he was standing idly by while other people rescued his girlfriend. He solemnly swore that he would defy the QA to keep her safe and in his arms and he was not a man to break his oath. He dressed quickly in a suit of combat armour he had picked up on his holiday/quest with Jessica. He grabbed his best sniper rifle, SMG, blaster and a grenade launcher. With all the weapons collapsed down and attatched to his back, the last thing he did was wrap a large black cloak around himself and pull up the hood. He diverted the home phone line to his Omni-Tool and left the apartment. After a few minutes walking he found the portal location but like he expected the portal was gone. He called the QA HQ using his Omni-Tool, told them who he was and gave his clearance number.
"Kothar we told you to stay put" A curt offical told him
"Please just let me come to the HQ for a little time; let me see what is being done please" Sadness filled his voice as he spoke and it started to crack
"Okay. Okay you can come see what is being done but you promise that is your only aim?"
"Yes I swear that's all I want"
The call ended and a portal appeared before him. A grin spread across his face; he had gotten a lot better at sounding sad when talking to people. He was furious and determined but not sad; not yet.
"Actually I aim to misbehave"
Kothar stepped into the portal and disappered.

"There are people coming for me" Jessica said confidently. "Nobody ever comes for you, Jessie. Haven't you learned that yet?" She sat silent, resolute. The voice was right. No-one ever came to save her. She didn't need them to. "Silence, Jessie? Where are your manners? You are a guest here! I suggest you start acting like it." "Do you chain up all your guests?" "Only the pretty ones." "Am I meant to be flattered?" "If you wish." Silence. The voice sighed. "Alright, Jessie. If you can show me how a guest should behave I'll consider letting you up here into the house. How does that sound?" Jessica glared at the camera. "Sounds just great" she almost snarled. A hatch at the bottom of the door opened and a tray of something vaguely edible was pushed through. "I'm not hungry." "Bad start." The collar shocked her again and Jessica cried out in pain.
