A Message was posted on the board “Missing one British writer, MrGBH. If found Please return to MLC right away. “

“So why are we out here?” Asked Littlebro as he stood next to young girl in her mid-teens “I mean the weather is nice but why the pool?”

“Well when you are the Clan lord, no one ever challenges your orders.” Kattcanda rolled her eyes at Littlebro.

                “But why did Calamari want us to find the absent writer.” He asked noticing that it was only him and Kattcanda wondering around the pool.

                “Maybe because everyone else is a busy. We are just readers and have the time to look for stuff.” Kattcanda giggled as she skipped around looking behind a trashcan.

 “And why in the love of popsicles do you think he would be out here.” He turned to Kattcanda who was now searching under the lounge chairs that were scattered around the pool deck.

“Well if you were saving the world from Nazi squirrels wouldn’t you want to take a little time out and rest at a nice pool side?”Kattcanada smiled sweetly as she lifted up a towel shaking it and looking to see if anything was hidden under the towel because she had heard that ninjas were masters of stealth and camouflage.

“You do know that he is just a writer and not a real ninja?” Littlebro stared at the starry-eyed, fan-girl.

“See, now I would have thought he would have made a cup of tea instead of going for a swim.” Littlebro chuckled as he admired his tanned skin in the waters reflection.

“That is sooo cliché! That’s like saying that we Canadians live in igloos” a quiet voice chide him,

“And say “eh” at the end of each sentence.”Shyone walked in making both Littlebro and Kattcanda jump.

“Ahhh” they cried in unison                                                                                                                                       

“Sorry I have that affect on people. It’s my quiet nature.” She gave in apology.

“It's the quiet ones that you have to worry about?” Littlebro grumbled under his breath.

“Well Annchoeve sent me out here because I can talk a little “Ninja”shy0ne shrugged her shoulders ignoring his little remark. “So here I am. Did you find him?” Shyone looked around wide eyed at the pool trying to remember when this pool appeared.  Littlebro sighed in frustration as he gave up looking for the missing writer and sat down in the lounge chair. “I highly doubt that he is here. He is most likely writing his next chapter of Amy-Chan”

“But I heard he has the dreaded...”Shy0ne lowers her voice to a faint whispers “Writers Block!”

“No way!” Kattcanda all but screamed running around the pool. “Not Writers Block! The insanity!” Littlebro jumps up to tackle her to the ground on her second lap of the pool.

“Would you stop? You are giving us non-writers a bad name.”

“Wait! you don’t think this is a set-up? I mean to get rid of us.” Kattcanda began to scratch her head as the idea bubbled up in her mind bringing slow tears to her eyes.

“Nay, they need us readers.” Littlebro soothed Kattcanda “besides Shy0ne is a writer. They won’t hurt one of their own.” He tried to calm down the high strung fan-girl.

“Oh please have you NOT read any of Grinzor’s fiction!” Kattcanda’s voice became so high pitched that only dogs could hear the last words.

“Calm down” Shyone tried to regain control of the situation but Kattcanda was nervously looking around.  the idea of Grinzor attacking her seemed silly but the thought of writers block did make Shyone a little nervous.

“OH YOU are not safe Shy! Grinzor took out others and is now after fan fiction writers. You just started writing those.” She pulled at Shyone's arm but ended up knocking her to the ground.

“Here can I help you.” A soft southern accent asked helping Shyone to her feet.

“Aerix what are you doing here?” Shyone smiled.

“I should be asking you that? Everyone is inside except you three.” He raised his eyebrow, “I have been busy and have not been here for awhile. What’s up?”

“THEY ARE TRYING TO GET RID OF US.” Kattcanda cried hysterically making Aerix jump.

“Would you stop!” Shyone scolded Kattcanda “ We were just asked to find MrGBH. Katt here imagination is running a bit wild. Comes from withdrawl of Amy-Chan” she continued trying to explain Kattcanda’s behaviour.

“oh!”Aerix blushed a little “This might be my fault. I have MrGBH I have him chai... umh I mean to say that I have him lock... Well he is writing a back story of my Zokusho for me.” He fidgeted with his hands as he tried to explain the situation.

“Well give him BACK!” Kattcanda ordered.

“Sure I will go get him” he bowed and quickly left.

“Well that was very anti-climatic” Littlebro sighed “come on we will go tell Calamari the good news.” The three left to go back inside the MLC.

Inside was a smartly dressed woman pacing around a long table with Annchoeve and Airichan sitting at the table busy clicking away answering their pm and feverishly trying to edit the many stories that were filling up there sites.

“Why does he have to disappear when we are busy. I mean with the new contest and members it’s been busy.” She stop to update the site informing everyone on the newest posts and encouraging members to get involved. “Then there is that nasty business that he might have “Writers Block” if that gets out we will have a serious problem on our hands.”  

The sound of the door opening made her look up sharply.

“Well?”

“Yes we found him. sort of.” Littlebro remarked. Calamari looked around not seeing the missing writer.

“It was Aerix fault” Kattcanda blurted out before hiding behind Littlebro. She was still not convinced that all of this was not some great conspires.

“Yes it would seem that he borrowed MrGBH for a project of his own.” Shyone  whispered making everyone strain to hear her small voice.

“Is that you Shyone? I didn’t even see you come in.” Annchoeve looked up from her typing. Shyone just smiled and gave her a small wave. At that moment the door opened again and two more people entered.

“My bad!” Aerix said in way of greeting “Here he is, safe and sound.” He pushed the tired looking MrGBH into the middle of the room. His expression of confusion slowly washed over his face as everyone looked at him in both irritation and relief.

“I have a new Amy-Chan chapter ready!” was all he said to the many faces looking at him.

A week had passed since the small confusion of MrGBH had been solved. The MLC had been running fairly well but a dark cloud was accumulating over the happy Clan.

“okay that is the third blog of a member complaining about it.” Calamari leaned back on her chair rubbing her swore eyes as another warning was flashing on her computer screen. “I think we have a problem.”

“Really! who is it this time?”Mxskai asked looking over Calamari shoulder, who had been helping with the message board items.

“Aerix and before that was Zedr.” She began to type a messages giving encouragement asking that they not panic and that a solution would be found. Airichan looked up from her screen.

“Wait we have another...” she paused reading the quick blog. “Oh my! it’s Shyone. Even her blog is not making sense.”  The room became silent as the group started to realize this was more than just a small case of writers having creative issues.

“Could we have made a mistake last week?” Calamari swallowed hard. “Was MrGBH really the start of Writers Block?”

“No we have just a few beginner writers, nothing to worry about.” Mxskai chimed in trying to ease the tension.

“Ohhhh No!” Airichan cried as she stood up stepping away from her screen. “I got ... its Grinzor.” She pointed her shaky finger at the blinking blog.

“Alright I am calling for a lockdown.” Calamari ordered “I want the infected writers brought in. Also I want MrGBH and those two Readers Kattcanda and Littlebro brought in for questioning.”

“You’re thinking that MrGBH is patient zero.” Mxskai asked. The whole building became a hive of busy people rushing to do Calamari’s orders.

“Yes and I want to know how he survived it.” She said as she held up the lasted Amy-Chan chapter.

Tune in next time for the conclusion of Missing.(I had to do this it was getting out of control!!)
