Page 36 of Expecting The Unexpected

Spencer felt his discomfort rise. “Well, that makes things a bit awkward now, doesn’t it?”

“What do you mean?” Hron asked.

Clicking once more a close up of the man’s wrist came into view, highlighting a bracelet he wore. “At first I thought it was a medical alert bracelet, you know? Then it came to me. He’s Nakaka. He can’t get disease or ailments from anyone. He would have no reason to have one of those, so I looked closer.” He clicked once again and the picture enlarged even more. “His name is engraved on it, but where it’s engraved is also large enough to hide a flash drive.”

“How do you know it isn’t just a gift from a boyfriend or something?” Groth asked.

“I don’t. I just figured we shouldn’t let anything go without a closer look, and if this is really the son of an ancient... it kind of makes sense that he might want revenge against the humans,” Spencer said a bit hesitantly.

Groth sighed, “I hear what you’re saying, but we have no way of knowing if he does have one, or is a part of all this shit. We can’t just go and accuse an ancient’s child... especially their oldest son, if he’s working with the humans to kill off the ancients.”

Nug and Jory started pushing and hissing at each other. Everyone turned to them. Hron firmly saying, “Knock it off you two!”

“But I can—” Nug started to say.

“No you can’t!” Jory snapped, shutting the guy up.

“Jory...”

Jory did a swipe of his arms almost knocking Groth in the face. “No you cannot!”

Nug sighed, “I have to, Jory.”

“Would you two stop this back and forth and just say whatever it is you’re trying to say,” Groth insisted, although not quite as harshly as he would have said to anyone else.

Nug sighed, “I can get in and check out the bracelet.”
