Meanwhile, in Manchester, in a dark room, two hunters are appearing on the teleport platform. The two hunters are on the platform for a few more seconds until their bodies were completely regenerated because the teleporting procedure consist into splitting the hunter's atoms apart and rearrange them the way they were previously.
"Welcome to Manchester." says a female hunter, who is sitting on a chair near the platform.
The hunter who waits for the two hunters to come, is a hunter member of Team 3. Unlike the other hunters from Team 3 is one who is mostly occupying with desk job. A desk job that not all the hunters are taking it, being listed to most of the agents or to leaders. But this hunter, not only is checking the team zone status like Navylian and other hunters from Team 4 are doing it, she is an expert in literacy and all of this supernatural stuff that is not usually found by humans.
The huntress is a middle-aged woman, long brown hair, brown skin, yellow eyes, round face, tall, around 1.75 centimeters, wears some usual clothing that a human could wear, a pair of normal looking yellow "Adidas" pants, a green jacket with logo with "Cambridge University", where she is working there, as a librarian.
"Thanks for welcoming us." says Alexia stepping down the platform with Louis.
"I see you've taken an unusual member with you." says Sarah to Alexia.
"Yes." responds Alexia. "Our other members are busy with this task we are dealing now."
"Yes, I've seen." says Sarah. "Would you hand it to me?"
Alexia hands the book to Sarah, who is getting up from her chair, walks out of the room, where Alexia and Louis are following her. They arrive at the hallway, looking around them, they notice the interior of this base is not like theirs, an obvious thing because not every base looks the same, have the same architecture, the same hidden location, or the same technology. This base, is looking all clean in comparative with the base of Team 4, who is sometimes messy due to the cytoplasm Lucian leaves it behind and to Louis with his lazy behavior.
The three of them are climbing the stairs to the upper floor, where in there, on the hallway, Hannah has left the room.
"Hello." says Hannah startled by the appearance of two looking humans.
"Don't worry." says Sarah who has read the startling of Hannah. "They are not humans. They are hunters, just like you."
"W-What are they doing here?"
"We have a mission." says Sarah to Hannah. "You can go home now. Enjoy your free week."
"Free week?" asks Alexia.
"She was fighting with us." says Louis.
"Us?" asks Hannah looking at Louis.
"Oh yeah, I wore a different skin there." responds Louis looking at himself, wearing a different brand of clothing, a different face, a different hair and a different height and weight. "I was in the team with Carmen and Kyle."
"Ah. Louis." says the teenager. "Now I get it. How are they doing?"
"They are enjoying their free day." says Louis.
"You gave those two hunters a free day?" asks Sarah surprised by this, who was unlocking the door to her room with the key.
"Navylian did." responds Alexia.
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
"Alright…" says Hannah who is feeling a little awkward to stay in there and wanted to get out from here. "Imma go now. Tell Kyle and Carmen I salute them."
"We will." says Alexia.
Hannah leaves the hallway, she heads downstairs, where she will be taking her coat and head outside the base where she will go back to her house to prepare herself for the day of tomorrow. After Hannah left the hallway, the three hunters are entering a room, that is closed by Sarah after the two of the hunters from Team 4 followed her into the room.
The interior of this room is one of the Team 4 did have, but never so organized. Secret library is a room that many bases of Supernatural hunters posses on this entire world, but most of them are barely used and so outdated just like the one from Team 4. That being one of the reasons the team 4 decided to pay a visit to Team 3 to see if they could find what does the missing pages signify.
Sarah has brought all the books about Necromancy from the team secret library. So far, she only checked three of the eighteen she has found.
Sarah, Alexia and Louis are checking every content of a book that can contain Necromancy. They have checked the fifteen books, the only ones alive about the necromancy genre in this world, for the last two hours. But it was all in vain, they did not find anything useful. All they could've found were a lot of theories about bringing souls back to their bodies, while this book has also theories.
But the three hunters are not giving up, they continue their search. Seeing the books about necromancy doesn't give them a lead to their search of the missing pages of this volume, they all decide to go to the secret library of Team 3 to check the contents in there more carefully.

Later, the ghost of Brighton, who has checked the security footage of the Jubilee Library, has come back. The ghost was floated toward the base as fast as he could to alert Navylian about the dangers he observed on the security footage of that library.
"I've found something!" yells Lucian going through the wall of the base, and floating toward where Navylian is sitting on the couch and waits for his people to come back.
"What did you find?" asks Navylian who seems to be not so agitated as Lucian is.
"T-T-The person who has taken the pages, m-m-might be… A-A-"
"Al?" asks Navylian to the ghost.
The ghost was speechless after Navylian has said the name of this hunter.
"He did?" asks the ghost scared.
"Yes." responds Navylian. "He told me he is the one who has taken the missing pages of the book. But did not tell what he is planning with them."
"What do you think he will do?"
"Hopefully not something bad." says Navylian, and he sighs after he has taken a glass of whiskey from the table he poured for himself. "That hunter never fail to seize me."
"Shouldn't we call Alexia and Louis to tell them this?" asks Lucian.
"No." says Navylian. "Let them continue their search. Who knows, they may be knowing what are pages missing confronting Al."
"How can you say his name sounding so chill?" asks Lucian looking at Navylian.
"You are in this team for so long, how come you don't go know my past with Al."
"Because you never mentioned to all of us." says the ghost.
"That is because most of the hunters are afraid of him. Even I would be afraid if I never saw his ability as often as I did back in my young supernatural hunter days."
There is a pause on his room. Navylian continues to drink his whiskey from his glass, while the ghost, not having anything to do, he levitates toward the chair of this room, and he stays on it like a normal human.
"So… The campaign was tough?" asks Lucian to Navylian, feeling a little awkward.
"It was." responds Navylian looking at the ghost. "For some it was, but for me… It was a normal day in Scotland."
"I see." responds the ghost.
"How was the weekend in here?" asks Navylian.
"Nothing… A quiet weekend."
"I see." says Navylian to Lucian.
The two are sitting in quiet on this room for a few more minutes, until the badge of Navylian is blinking. A sign that says he is getting a call from someone who is using the Supernatural Hunter badge.
"Boss." says a female voice coming from the badge, a familiar voice, one resembling Alexia. "We found something."
"What did you find?" asks Navylian holding the badge near his mouth.
"We've found this book theory of bringing people back from the dead require something strange. Unlike other stuff written in all the necromancy books, this book requires a certain ingredient from someone."
"You don't mean?" asks Navylian sounding concerned.
"Yes. Someone we know."
"I see." says Navylian. "Bring the findings to the base. And tell Sarah we will be brining them back after we are done with our findings."
"I understand, sir. Connection over." and she closes the call on the badge.
Navylian closes the call of the badge, and he is looking at the ghost of Lucian, who is looking at Navylian. Then the ghost asks Navylian.
"It is Carmen?" asks the ghost.
"Yes." says Navylian to Lucian. "We will have a serious discussion with Al about this theme."
