Chapter Seven

A Month Later...
Maglor groaned and sat up. It had been a month and unfortunately, over that time they hit a dead end with who sent the text. He was still waiting on the friend he ran into in the supermarket after he first spared with Aegnor. She was a history expert and very smart. He hoped that she could answer about if there were any more cases like Aegnor and why would someone not want them to be looked into. Yet, a very good thing though was that Aegnor was learning about this new world faster and faster. He was able to understand a few words in English and he has gotten comfortable with technology. It was then he realized he smelled coffee and smoke.

Maglor got up and hurried downstairs to find Aegnor throwing away two pieces of blackened toast. "What are you doing?" He asked.

"I was attempting to make breakfast," Aegnor asked.

"And let me guess. Did not work out as you planned it?" Maglor replied.

"Yeah." He said.

"It's fine. If you ask Rowan he can confirm I could not cook for the life of me." Maglor replied. Another good thing was that Aegnor was getting more calm around him. Thanks to Rowan without a doubt since the two exchanged calls now and then. Rowan was still helping out Aegnor to get him more used to the world and Maglor.

"I will," He replied and looked at Maglor as his phone rang. Maglor answered it and talked with the other person. Aegnor watched his explosion as he continued to talk with them. Maglor hung up the phone and sat down.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"That was my friend...she said there was only one case she found from 40 years ago but it was so brief she can't be sure what it was," Maglor replied.

"Is that bad?" Aegnor asked.

"In a way yes," He replied. "We do not have any idea why or how you came back. Also, Xander could not get anything off the text so we do not know who sent it. What we do know is just what it says that someone doesn't want me to find out how you came back and if there were others." Maglor asked and Aegnor nodded listening.

"Yet, enough of that. What did you try cooking for breakfast?"

"Toast...but now just coffee."

"Alright. I can cook something up," Maglor said as he stood up. He walked over to the fridge and grabbed some eggs. He got some fresh bread and popped it into the toaster. He started cooking the eggs as Aegnor poured himself some coffee. The drink was growing on him to say the less.

"Hey. I do have a question for you," he said.

"What is it?" Maglor asked.

"You stayed just watching the world go by...what did you do for all these years?" He asked.

Maglor looked up and then thought for a few long moments. "A lot...a whole lot. Way too much to tell you everything in a few sentences."

Aegnor nodded and looked at the door as he heard a knock. Maglor walked over and answered it. Xander strode in and said "Aegnor. I have something for you."

"You do? What is it?" Aegnor asked.

"I was bored and I started working on some things. Two things in particular." He replied as he put his bag down. He dug through it and pulled out a laptop and a phone. "I was bored and had since I was finished with a job I had. I got these and upgraded them so you have the language in all Quenya."

"You were bored and you just happened to do this?" Asked Aegnor looking at it.

"Yup," He replied. Maglor walked and stood next to his cousin to look at the phone. Aegnor who was still new to technology looked at it in question.

"I'll teach you how to use it," Maglor replied.

"Well. I have to go, I have some other things I have to look into." Xander said. He then walked back out. Maglor just shook his head chuckled.

"Last time he visited me that quickly he left by jumping out a window," Maglor replied.

"He jumped out?" Asked Aegnor

"Yep," He replied. "I can show you the basics of how to use these."

~~~

It was much later during the afternoon while Aegnor was in figuring out some things on his laptop when Maglor got a message on his phone. It was calling him back to work. He sighed and asked, "Aegnor. I have been called back to work...will you be fine being here alone?"

Aegnor looked up and said, "Yeah. I'll be fine."

~~~

"Sir, do you want me to move forward or wait?" They ask as a man turned to face them.

"You may move forward. We need to move faster since they know. They sent him that text to keep him on his toes." He replied.

"Very good, my lord." They replied bowing their head. They got up and left the room. The man turned back to face the window. He leaned back against the desk that stood right in front of it. He turned his head as a knock sounded from the door.

"Enter," He replied.

A hooded figure came into the room and said, "Sir? I have it."

"Very good. I take it you got it without any trouble," He replied.

"Of course," She said pulling off her hood and placed the box she held on the table. He opened it and nodded. "Very good." He replied. "Get some rest. I'll get your next orders when you are needed."

"Will do," She said and turned to leave the room. He smirked down at the opened the box. One step closer...one step.
