Chapter 28: Finding Arit
"Fiona measured how fast Mark must've moved in her mind and she decided that he was at least as fast as Tyler. Tyler needs to hurry up and finish with those Disaster classes so he can come here to help her!
"I'm going to search for Arit right now and you better pray to your government that I find her. There are limits to what a person can endure from your NSA. You came here and told me that you have her in custody and now I am hearing that she has gone missing? Does your government really want to make an enemy of me that badly?"
Mark didn't give a damn if he made the entire world his enemy at this point. If he learns that something happened to Arit, then he would immediately start throwing hands. He would beat the crap out of everything and everyone in his path as he looks for her! The entire world could go to hell, but Mark was never going to allow his precious people to get into trouble because of his powers.
Fiona grit her teeth inside her mouth once she heard this to prevent herself from showing any weaknesses! She was sure that Mark was going to attack her, but after a few seconds of glaring at her, Mark leaned back.
This is the exact reason why Mark never wanted to tell Arit about his power and also why he wore a mask for so long. Superhumans are not treated in the same way that humans are treated. The government is always trying to find a way to put restrictions on Superhumans and they will try anything just to find a weakness. Mark's only weakness at this moment was Arit and he was not going to forgive anyone that touched her!
[Mark! Mark! Listen to me! There's a problem! A big problem! The tracker that we placed on Arit is going crazy!]
Mark's AirPod came to life and Mark could hear Pat's frantic voice shouting over the comm. Mark put his hand up and frowned as he asked Pat what happened to Arit's tracker. Pat placed a tracker on himself and Mark a long time ago in case there was ever a situation where one of them was kidnapped and they couldn't escape on their own. That way, they would be able to find the other person and bring help!
But Mark realized that Arit was also someone who could be kidnapped to get to him, so he told Pat to place a tracker on Arit as well! It was morally questionable and they knew that Arit would be pissed if she ever found out that they did it, but Mark was overprotective of Arit and he was not going to let her get in danger because of her relationship with him! If she was ever in danger, Mark was going to be there to get her out of it!
"What's happening to the tracker? Were you able to find out where she is?"
Pat was already tracking Arit once he heard what Fiona said about having her in custody, but once he traced the location of the tracker, he couldn't believe what he saw! The NSA sure as hell doesn't have her because she was in an unbelievable place! He was staring at an image of the tracker somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!
[Mark, I don't think your wife is with the government at all! But that can't be right, it doesn't make sense! If the tracker is right then she is somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!? And she is moving at an insane speed!]
"...?"
Mark could only blink in surprise and frown! Did Pat just say that Arit was in the middle of the ocean!? That had to be a lie! That couldn't possibly be true! Mark turned to Fiona and spoke in a hurry.
"What did your men find when they went to the school? Didn't they see Arit inside the bunker?"
Mark had a theory, but he didn't want to believe it even though a small part of him was already telling him that he was right, and when Fiona placed her hand on her cheek and frowned while shaking her head, Mark knew that he was right! Arit never went into the bunker after he left! What the heck is wrong with that stupid girl!? Can't she think about her own life for once!?
Mark put his hand on his head and started to think deeply. There was a high chance that Arit was attacked by a monster if she was outside of the bunker. The Anima attack reached all the way to the school, so they would have sensed Arit if she was not in the bunker.
But then, if they sensed Arit, why didn't they just kill her and keep moving? This was a question that ran through Mark's mind and Mark had no answer for it as he could only wonder what the monsters were trying to do. There have been strange things happening since that Disaster Class monster first appeared on the shore of the city yesterday.
Why was the Calamity class only aiming for Mark during this fight? There were other Superhumans there, but the Calamity class completely ignored them and came for Mark alone! And now that Arit was missing, they say that she is somewhere in the middle of the ocean!? These things have to be related!
Did they take Arit because they also know that I am close to her?
Mark wondered if Arit had been taken by an Anima in an effort to lure him out. But that wasn't possible! Were the Anima ever capable of that much planning? Could they ever think that deeply before? They have always been creatures of destruction and this incident is the first time that they have attacked in a group of more than two! They have never had a plan when attacking people!
But Mark was sure that this couldn't be a coincidence! There was a high chance that Mark was right and he was the reason behind all of this! Mark told Pat to try and find out where they could possibly be heading!
[I already did that. It seems that there is a small island a couple hundred miles away from the coast. The tracker has been moving towards this island nonstop and there is a high chance that this is where they are going.]
"Pat, I need to get to that island now. Can you get me there?"
Mark only needed to say this and Pat immediately understood that Mark was asking for a means of transportation. Pat was not sure what was on that island and he hated it when Mark went into an unknown situation, but there was no one who could stop Mark when Arit was involved! Mark would swim to that island if he needed to!

Mark read through the new mission from the system and he frowned as a new surge of motivation rose from inside him! This was confirmation that Arit was definitely not dead! He still had a chance to save her before the monsters killed her! He was going to save her no matter what!
