It was very late in night, when Dylan reached the end of his meeting with Master Atlan about his experience in Kingstonë. Master Atlan already knows about the incident that happened to Lena and he said it was due to some shift in power inside Capaldi.
He leaned back on his chair and watched the study door aimlessly for time being.
It has been long since he goes out on a date with Lena.
When was last time when Dylan left this much happier. And when Lena said she is lucky one clearly. He felt butterflies in his heart.
He watched the blue file on his table, aimlessly moving his hand on it.
Before the train of thoughts goes to a station where it's not easy for him to comeback. Dylan forced himself to stand up. He closed the door of study.
He didn't only close the door of study but also a part of him, a complex situation too.
Dylan turn around to his room and stand before the door for a moment before heading inside with his usual self.
The room was dark with faint light coming from window. Lena was already inside the warm beddings, her face hiding inside as her steady breaths told Dylan that she is in deep sleep.
He checked outside of window and it was snowing softly. Dylan stands there for a while. Than he walked silently towards built-in wardrobe and without making a sound, Dylan takes out his comfortable clothes and walk back.
Soon the lounge was filled with faint sound of water running. He came out of bath fully freshed. Style hands him a hair dryer. Dylan smiles and dries his hairs in lounge.
As soon as he placed the hair dryer back to it's place, a faint thud came from outside. Dylan goes to back lawn to check on it. There was nothing was out of it's place. He checked the place for a moment and come back.

"Meow" a faint, troubled voice of cat was coming from back lawn since morning. It was snowing outside so hard. Lena and robots were searching for cat almost for ten minutes. Dylan watched them, searching here and there for cat.
Unable to neglect the crying sound of cat, after waiting for them to rescue the wailing cat for few minutes. Dylan got worried and joined the Rescue Team.
The cat's voice was not coming from a place but it seems the cat was in distress and tries to escape out from what was holding it.
Finally, Dylan found the cat after searching for a while. It was stuck in a hard cardboard box, filled with snow, shivering with cold.
It was than he remembers the thud sound and regretted it that why he didn't checked further last night.
Dylan quickly take the cat in his hand and hold against his chest to keep it warm.
"Lena, I found the cat. "
Dylan shouts from back lawn to Lena and QN robots.
When he get back in lounge, almost shivering.
"Oh, poor cat. " Lena says and takes the cat from his arms.
" Go get some warm milk for cat. " Dylan asked Style.
"Fetch me some warmers." Dylan said to QN1 robot.
He quickly put warmer around the cat. Given some warmth, the cat hugged Lena still meowing. Dylan take the warm milk from style and sat on glass table before Lena. He slowly helped the cat in drinking milk.
The cat stopped meowing as soon as some warmth enters it's body and settled down in her lap.
Dylan watches the interaction between the cat, Lena and robots. It was first time a living thing besides them are inside the house, so QN robots were all curious as they watched sleeping cat.
Dylan saw something around cat's neck , scans the collar and send message to the Owner.
"Do you like cats?" Dylan asked her as He watched Lena with her sweetest smile and sparkling eyes.
"Yeah, they are cute."
After few minutes, the door was knocked hurriedly till the butler robot Style opens the door. A man burst in.
"I'm sorry but is sparkle here? " the man was worried about the cat.
"Yeah" Lena replied.
Dylan stand up watching the owner as recognition stung him.
[ Who is she? A question that was forbidden to ask in Capaldi, in the house of Al'Xander was asked and the question still lingers there,it's voice still echoed there asking for it's owner go come back and take it back. ]
The officer who asked the question was there, standing before him, in Dylan's house. His eyes were red and dark circles appears under his eyes. He was dead worried.
"Sparkle" he slowly takes the cat back from Lena.
"Thank you so much Mr. Al'Xander and Miss Burg."
He said with gratitude and left the house in hurry. Dylan came with him to main gate.
"Why was Sparkle's necklace not working?" He asked, stroking the cat with love, knowing that Dylan was behind him.
"Well you know the attack, security of my house can't be same anymore after it. "
Dylan replied.
Dylan at that moment remembered that Gibbs has told him of a special type of jammer (A device to jam all Signels going out and coming in a place.) has been installed inside the house. It jams any unknown signel to come in and goes out of his house.
"Do you live near? " seeing that the officer didn't come on any vehicle, Dylan asked.
"Yeah, the house next is mine." He replied.
"Well we are neighbors." Dylan said.
For some reasons, his mind was telling him to stay away from him.
"My name is Damian Marley. You know who I am right? "
Stopping at the gate, Damian turns around and said to Dylan asked if they were good friends.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Marley and yeah I know who you are."
Dylan smiles and wave his hand.
***
He come back inside, only to know that Lena was fully prepared for university but there was strange air in house as if the oncomer has left something lingering in air.
Dylan didn't knew that within few hours he was going to face wrost kind of cold shoulder.
He quickly called Style to get his bag and keys as he sits down to eat breakfast.
