"Hey, what’s going on?” Blake asked Tori as he got to Ninja Ops to find Sensei pacing.

“Cam’s gone.”

Blake’s eyes bugged out. “Cam’s gone? As in taken-by-the-enemy gone?”

“No, well, we don’t know but we don’t think it’s that. There hasn’t been any activity since that fight with Condortron.” Tori whispered, her worried gaze directed toward their guinea pig sensei, who was obviously distressed, muttering to himself and not keeping still.

The fact that Cam was missing seemed weird. What was even weirder was that Hunter was missing too. But Blake was used to his brother going off on his own and so Blake didn’t question it. Yet now that Cam was obviously missing too…Could it have been that they were missing together? Was that even possible?

Just how many secrets did his brother have?

~*~

Over the next few days, Blake tried to keep a close eye on his brother but nothing out of the ordinary happened, at least no more unknown excursions to wherever Hunter went off to before.

Blake was starting to think his suspicion was all in his head. OK, so his brother kept the Gem of Souls a secret from everybody - that was understandable in light of Hunter’s explanation. And it could’ve been a total coincidence that Cam and Hunter were missing on the same day.

It was when his brother didn’t want to go riding with him that sent red alarms going off in Blake’s head. His brother never missed an opportunity to race for fun with Blake and show-off.

Something was definitely going on, but what?
He thought about spying on his brother, but Hunter would catch on pretty quickly and Blake would rather avoid that awkwardness, if at all possible. That only left one other choice, and that would be to outright ask Hunter what was going on. Frankly, he’d rather go with the spying option. He wasn’t much of a talker, and his brother was even less so.

It was when he got the alert that one of Lothor’s monster was on the loose and to get to Ninja Ops right away that he realized Hunter had already beaten him to it, which was odd because Blake had thought his brother was at home enjoying a day off from his job at Storm Chargers. If Blake and Hunter had gotten the alert at the same time, shouldn’t they have arrived at the same time too? How did Hunter beat him to Ninja Ops so fast?

Even while fighting the lame monster Lothor had created, Blake couldn’t get the question out of his mind. Was Hunter there already? If he was, what was he doing at Ninja Ops when he didn’t need to be there? Was it voluntary or did Sensei need him for something?

It was bothering him that he didn’t know the answer and it wasn’t that he didn’t trust Hunter, but in light of recent events, Blake couldn’t help but feel like he didn’t know his brother as well as he thought he did. If Hunter could have kept the Gem of Souls – no matter the reason behind it – he could have other secrets too. And having secrets was dangerous in this business. It meant those secrets could hurt you.

~*~

“Hey, what’re you headed off to?” Blake asked his brother after their shift at Storm Chargers ended and Blake headed to meet Tori for their movie date.

“Just somewhere to be alone.” Hunter bumped fists with his brother and sped off on his motorbike.

It didn’t look like Hunter was going to be revealing any of his other secrets soon, but that was alright. Blake trusted his brother and if it was a secret he needed to know, he’d get to find out someday.
