The door to the room in which Sam and the others were watching the video was pushed open and a short fat guy entered wearing a similar uniform as the enforcer's.

Even though the uniform looked similar there were clearly some differences and some extra badges, showing his superiority.

As the fat guy entered Sam saw the change in expression of the Village head and others.

Melody had a frown on her face and she quickly hid the storage device that Sam had brought, without anyone noticing.

Fat guy said, " Melody, what are you doing? I have clearly instructed you before that, you should run it past me before you act on anything …. Do you think you can do anything, just because your father is the chief of the Enforcers.

I won't tolerate such insubordination, now explain what is happening here…"

All this while the fat guy didn't even look at the village head as if the village head was thin air.

But the village head didn't mind it and came forward to speak.

" Deputy Chief riguaz, we were constrained by time so we couldn't inform you before, and you don't need to trouble yourself with such small matters …"

Riguaz " I was questioning my subordinate Village head... you don't need to interfere in the official matters of the Enforcers …. Now answer me Melody, what is happening here…"

Sam didn't know what was happening here, but he could clearly see the hostilities between both the parties.

So he kept his silence and remained inconspicuous.

Melody replied " Five of the children from the academy, including the village head's granddaughter had gone missing, their whereabouts unknown. We think they might have been kidnapped so we are investigating the matter and looking for clues…"

Riguaz " How much time has it been since the children have gone missing…"

Melody knew what this guy was getting at so she frowned while answering " around 11 hours.."

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Riguaz " insolence …. Don't you know the law, any person can only be declared as gone missing if he or she has gone missing for more than 24 hours, that too with tangible evidence..

You have been using the Enforcer Work force and resources on something like this… what if the children are pulling a prank and some real crime takes place while you are doing the so called investigation…. It is your time to patrol the village, go back to your duties …. If the children do not appear even after 24 hours then we will think about it.

The duty of the Enforcers is to serve the people not the village head..."

Even though this guy sounded like he was stating the truth and facts, Sam could clearly feel the hypocrisy in this guy's speech.

Melody spoke up " The children might be in danger if we don't act now... who knows what the kidnappers want, everyone knows the condition of the village. The probability kidnapper doing it for ransom is very low... the motive of the kidnappers are unknown..."

Riguaz " That is enough..."

Melody " If my father was here ..he would.."

Riguaz " your father is not here and I am in charge... I order you all, to go back to your duties this instant... Do you want me to ask you individually Shane and Jake ..."

Shane was a wolf head, people with genes of different animals and have mutated were called Anthromorphs.

Since Shane had the genes of a wolf he was an excellent tracker, one of the best in the entire village and Jake had the genes of dogs.

Even though not as good as Shane but his senses were also enhanced and could be of great help in tracking someone down.

There were two more humans in Melody's team, Alexandra and Job.

Even though at first Sam felt a little weird about people of different ethnicity and mutation living together as a well knit society.

It was a surprise for Sam that they could live without emphasizing any kind of distinction or ethinic belonging.

He realized the fact that if humans really put their heart to it, they could accept all their differences and still live together peacefully in harmony.

This village was a prime example, in fact he had learned that this was the same case in the majority of the worlds in this realm, but there would still be exceptions every now and then like with everything.

Melody spoke out again " My team's duty ended at 7 pm... we are helping the village head in our free hours .... and the deputy chief doesn't need to concern himself with what we do after our duty.."

The fatty was angry " well said ... but I can stop you from using the Enforcers resources and equipment for non official purposes ...now get out of here..."

As the village head and the rest were leaving, the fatty spoke again.

" Village head If you really think something might have happened, you should seek the help of the Hunter association. You should be well aware of how better they are at these kinds of things .... don't regret it later ..."

Sam could see the anger flashing through the faces of Melody and her entire team.

They didn't stop anymore and walked out of the Enforcers office and gathered at the village administration office.
