It didn't take a genius to figure out what their third quest in the chain would be; it was safe to assume that Tobs would force them to rescue the kids after dropping these teleportation waypoints.

Sighing loudly as he finished reading the new quest prompts, Cynrik leaned against the wall with his hands behind his head and stared aimlessly at the ceiling. {Fuck, Tobs just loves to make my life harder, doesn't it.}

{Don't act like you give a shit; I know all you see is the rewards. We can safely assume it's gonna be a rescue mission next. We have to wake up Benny and make sure he directs the kids when they get sent over. All our work will be useless if the kids start running wild and panicking.}

Unlike Cynrik, who felt like this quest was becoming a waste of time, Brance was quietly thanking Tobs; it was breaking his heart knowing they had left so many helpless children in basically hell, more so now that Cynrik had set the hotel ablaze.

{Agreed, at least it's Benny we're dealing with. He's spent enough time around us to bring his IQ up a few years; if it was some random kid, I doubt they'd have any idea what to do, let alone listen to orders from us.} Pushing off the wall, Cynrik walked over to where Benny and Gabby were slumped against each other, unconscious.

Fear gripped Brance's heart when he saw Cynirk moving to wake the children. Even when it came to children, he was notorious for being heavy-handed, so Brance frantically tried stopping him. ”Hey, ill wake them up and fill them in on what's happening. You go… I don't know, be a lookout or something.”

”Tsk, fine, just make it quick times ticking, it'll take us around 3 minutes to get back to the hotel,” sucking his teeth and placing his hands behind his head Cynrik, casually walked out of the office building.

Brance shook his head and directed his attention to the unconscious Benny and knelt next to him. ”Hey, Hey Benny, wake up,” using his little kid voice and lightly shaking the boy in front of him, Brance gently tried not to startle him but was still forceful in his shakes.

”Ugh, huh, Brancie, what happened? WAIT, IS GABBY OK?” after a few shakes, Benny's eyes opened, and Brance could see the terror in his eyes.

”It's OK, Benny, she's fine, Big brother and I saved you both, but that's not important; you need to listen, OK.”

”In a couple of minutes, big brother Cyn and I have to go and save the other kids; see this lil flashlight thing?” Brance pulled out the teleportation waypoint that Tobs put in his inventory when the second part of the quest began. It had a small green flashlight-like body with a clear plastic cone on the top.

”My system gave big brother and me a special mission, so we have to complete it; all I need you to do is stay here with your sister. I have to put this cone down, and when Cyn puts the other own down, it's gonna make a special thing that can bring all the kids over here. Since you're the second oldest, you have to be sure the kids don't run away.”

Benny listened to every word Brance said while pulling his sister closer and looking at the teleportation waypoint carefully while nodding his head over and over to show he understood.

Thanks to Vinestra's Systems' existence, and his exposure to the two brothers, Benny was significantly more intelligent than a seven-year-old back on Earth, so although he was still in shock at what had transpired, he followed along with the information being given to him. His system had even given him a specially generated quest, telling him to stay put and protect the teleportation waypoint, which made Brance's job a bit easier.
