Fan Fiction / Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Can't make me cry. ❯ Chapter 22 ( Chapter 22 )

A soft wind blew across the lawns of the now silent neighborhood, The tulgey residence was filled curiosity at the now darkened houses across the street. Boomhougher and Bill had searched all over the place, no one knew where the Dribbles, Supinusiphon or the Hills were. Now at night the block captain had returned.

Elsewhere.

Luann shifted her weight as she pulled into the driveway of her aunt & uncle's home expecting to find the lights on, but like the past week the house was dark. She looked around and found the neighbors were dark too, she put the old clunker into reverse and pulled out when a pair of headlights shined in her rearview mirror.

Uncle Hank? Luann thought as she pulled her car forward to let the large red truck into the driveway. Luann looked around but she didn't see her aunt or cousin, just Hank Hill and his dog Ladybird. Getting out of the car Luann approached her uncle, for some unknown reason she felt a air about him that wasn't sitting right with her.

"Luann?" Hank said as he readjusted his glasses, "what are you doing here?"

"I haven't seen nether aunt Peggy nor you for a while, uncle Hank. What happened?"

"I hate to break this to you, Luann, but your aunt and I are getting divorced," Hank said as he rubbed the back of his head. "Yep, it all started with a fight and it ended with her taking Bobby to somewhere unknown."

"That's awful!" Luann said, "do you know where she could be?"

Hank shook his head and said "if I did I would give her a good old stern piece of my mind, I tell you what."

"Maybe I could help find her?"

"Nope, sorry Luann but this is just between her and me, but if you do see her get me a call. Okay?"

"Okay, uncle Hank." Luann walked back to her car and slid into the driver's seat, Hank watched the blond drive away from the house and rubbed Ladybird's head as he smiled.

Chain was getting frustrated with the search for Bobby, he went to all of the boy's favorite places and came up empty handed. He was at the deli and saw no sign of him, this was beginning to grow quite tiresome with him. He turned home and found his parents had gone out, he took off his jacket and tossed them aside as he entered his room.

There he flopped onto his bed and let his mind drift off.

(A young child was standing in the doorway, his eyes wide with shock as he behold the scene before him.)

Chain shuttered as he try to force that memory away, but like fighting a current at sea it pulled him in deeper.

(The smell of death and battle was in the air, one could see smoke raising from the neighbors and hear many explosions. Before the boy were two bodies, he tried not to break down. He saw a twisted creature standing before both of them.)

Skullgreymon.

Chain couldn't stand it anymore and pushed himself off his bed, sitting there on the edge of his bed he looked out the window. wondering where his target would be? Where would he go?

Than it hits him; Bobby wasn't alone, he was with other people and he would follow the one with the better plan. Now it was a matter of figuring on which person was leading the group and where would she/he be.

The emperor kept up his search for the flamedreamon, it was something he couldn't identify but it driven him to this point. This area was known to the locals as "the great loony", this is the area of desert that held a scant few small trailers and/or bomb shelters that housed everyhting from UFO nuts to survivalist.

He knew if they were, the group, was following Dale's lead, who is the survivalist and UFO nut rolled into one, they would be here. And this would be the best place to start.
