"Seriously. Stay out of my business Dolan."

Dolan scrambled off the ground and glared at Dan. 

"What's your problem?" Dan asked shrugging. He had a odd, cruel, smirk cross his face.

"Where is Shima Daniel? I know you have her." 

Dan raised a eyebrow. "I don't know what you are talk-"

"QUIT WITH THE LIES! Where is she?"

Dan went silent as he stared at the now frustrated Dolan. He smiled and adjusted his clothes. "No use to hide it huh? She is safe with my boss. But..." Dan pushed Dolan, knocking him into the nearby tree. He pressed his foot on Dolan's ribs, making Dolan yelp in pain.

"But..until Pringle and Hellbent finally give up, you won't ever see her again."  

Dolan grit his teeth and grabbed Dan's foot. "Is your boss my brother?" He muttered. 

Dan smirked and pressed down on his ribs, hoping to break them. The pain made Dolan let go of Dan's foot as he yelled in pain. 

"DAN! Let him go!" A familiar friendly voice called from behind Dan. A red sleeve wrapped around Dan's neck and Dolan saw the shaded face of Critical. Critical yanked Dan away from Dolan and threw him aside. He glared at Dan before saying. "Get out of here Dan."

After Dan scuttled away Critical sighed then turned to Dolan, who was sitting on the grass. "You okay?" Dolan looked at his feet in silence. Critical sighed and sat down next to him. "Hellbent told me you ran out to the courtyard. And he saw Dan follow you so...I decided to investigate."

Dolan nodded staying silent. Both of them had a silent tension between them until Dolan spoke. "So much had happened in the past weeks." Critical perked up and looked at Dolan. "Honestly...Slapped Ham is gone..." Dolan hung his head. "Shima...You and Pringle were in the hospital and now...now I don't know where Pringle is." Dolan paused before continuing.

 "I am so confused. I have released the many secretes there is in this world..especially Hellbent's." Dolan covered his eyes with his hat as he sniffed. "I just...I just want to see Shima again...I want to get lost in her eyes again. I want to feel her fur again..." A tear slipped from his eyes and fell down his cheeks. "Why? Why does the world drive us apart!? Hanna. Dan. EVERYONE!!" Dolan yelled to the heavens. "WHY CAN'T I SEE HER AGAIN!?"

Critical watched Dolan break down before him. The wind swept Critical's hood off his head, revealing his choppy brown hair. Dolan began to sob again, his eyes covered with his blue hat. Critical sighed and scooted closer to him. Critical raised his hand and grabbed Dolan's hat from his face. "Hey look at me." Critical ordered.

Dolan turned slowly at Critical, his eyes filled with sadness. Tears continued to flow like water. Critical smiled. "Clean that look off your face." He threw Dolan's hat back at Dolan, letting it hit him in the face. "Shima would hurt to see you like this." Dolan sniffed and buried his face in the hat. "You really love her huh?" Critical asked patting Dolan's back. When Dolan nodded, Critical smiled. "I wonder what that's like. Being so connected with someone like her." Dolan looked at critical confused. "Remember I was wrapped into this too, meaning I got your back. We will get Shima back okay?" To prove his point Critical bumped Dolan's shoulder with his fist. "So don't force all of this on yourself. I will help you kay?" 

Dolan slowly began to smile as he nodded. Critical stood up and flipped his hood back on. "See you later Dolan." With that, Critical left, leaving Dolan looking at the sky smiling. 

"We will find you Shima. No I will find you. This I swear."
