C3: We got a Lead

3rd POV

It's been one day since Frost's kidnapping. Sandra and Jessica was in the ring, dealing with tuff situations the only way they know how, sparring. Tina and Erica locked themselves in their rooms, only coming out to eat. Zero was extremely silent and only stared at the computers. Monica, Rita and Mary were still  trying to get a lead on where Frost might be. Cassie and Jane was in the base as well, they insisted on helping to find Frost since they saw him last. Currently, everybody was together to eat while listening to the radio on the screen.

"Any leads so far?" Cassie asked.

"Negative." Zero said as she didn't even flinch.

"Can't you just track him?" Jane asked.

"Unfortunately, his tracker has been disabled at the time of his kidnapping." Mary answered.

"I got it!" Rita exclaimed as she sprang to her feet.

Everybody immediately faced Rita. Even Zero looked up from her computer

"What is it?" Jessica asked hopefully.

"Well. Doesn't Frost's tracker record audio?" Rita asked.

"It does!" Monica said as she got up excited. "Zero, see if you can access those files. We're getting our Frost back!"

10 minutes later

"Why did they call him smoothskin?" Mary asked.

"Well. That's means their not human." Cassie said.

"But why did they talk so weird? Their voices sounded raspy and gurgling." Jessica said while frowning.

Suddenly the screen went static. "Hello? Hello! If anyone is there, it's me, Frost. I'm on Earth. My location is..." The voice said before it went static.

"Can you track that call, Zero?" Monica asked.

"I'll give it a go." Zero said.

"Well, at least we know where he is." Tina said happily.

5 hours before

"Hold him down!" Terra shouted.

Cora got a grip of Frost's head while Summer held his legs and Emily held his arm. Terra tried to disinfect his shoulder with some strong alcohol. But as soon as she started, Frost started trashing around. They were surprised when Frost started changing forms, but they quickly got their grip back.

"Amazing." Terra exclaimed before she continued to disinfect Frost's shoulder.

It took about an hour for Terra to path Frost up and for him to finally calm down. Frost was currently kept in a cell for safety measurements.

Frost POV

I was a cell, apparently for my own safety and for theirs. I mean, who would blame them. I trashed about and accidentally clawed at Cora when I went feline. It's just me, Terra and Emily in the room.

"How are you feeling, Frost?" Terra asked while leaning against  the bars.

"I'll be fine. What about Cora? Is she going to be alright?" I asked.

"She'll survive. She's been through worst." Emily said with a chuckle.

"But the bigger question is how did you do that?" Terra asked.

"I don't know. It just happened when I was about nine years old. It took me about three years to master the changing." I explained.

"But I guess you didn't mean to change earlier, huh?" Emily asked.

"No, of course not. I think pain and emotions play a role as well." I answered.

"Hey, it's alright." Emily said with a chuckle.

"We just wanted to know if you were aware about it." Terra said as she opened the cell doors.

"Oh okay. Thanks." I said as I stepped out.

"Here you go. Rylee had some leather armour you can wear." Emily said as she handed me a pile of clothes.

"Thanks and who? I believe that I haven't met her before." I said as I raised an eyebrow.

"Oh. She's our local merchant." Terra said and Emily nodded.

We all stood in awkward silence then before I gave a light cough. The two canines blushed and looked away.

"O-oh yes. Sorry." Terra said.

"We'll give you some privacy." Emily said.

I shook my head and chuckled as they left before I realized something.

"Umm..." I said.

"Yes?" They both asked as they turned around in the doorway.

"I might need some help." I said a bit nervously, pointing out the fact that I was one arm short.

30 minutes later

It took some time, but I was now fully dressed. I repaid Emily and Terra for their help. Emily for helping me dress and Terra for patching up my shoulder. I just let them have a peak, nothing physical. I'm not that kind of pervert.

I walked over to trade centre. I walked inside and it looked like a shebeen. There was tables here and there, a bar and a lot of storage space with junk. Cora and Summer was sitten at one table while Pumzie was sitting by the bar. I decided to join Pumzie and the bartender at the bar. I sat down next to Pumzie.

"I see the armour fits you nicely." The furry behind the counter said.

"What? Oh, you must be Rylee?" I said.

"Yes. That's me." She said while smiling.

"Thank you for the clothes." I said with a smile.

"You're welcome. But I'm afraid that's the only freebie you're going to get." Rylee said with a grin.

"Oh. I see. How much for a call to Kronos?" I asked.

"I'm afraid I can't help you with that." Rylee said as she shook her head.

"I might be able to get you your call." Pumzie said from the side line.

"How much?" I asked while rising an eyebrow.

"We'll see. Follow me." Pumzie said before downing her drink and getting up.

I followed said my goodbyes before quickly following the feline. Pumzie led me to the scrap yard outside where we first met.

"So? Where's the phone?" I asked.

"Phone? Oh no. I didn't say phone. I said call." Pumzie said with a chuckle.

"What?" I asked, not understanding.

"I meant that I could get you a radio call to Kronos for about ten seconds." She said.

"Only ten!?" I asked.

"Do you want my help or not?" She asked while folding her arms.

"Yes. Sorry. What do I need to do?" I apologized.

"We'll think of a payment later. First off, what's the radio station the people you're trying to contact's name?" She asked.

"Why?" I asked causing Pumzie to sigh.

"Because I'm going to transmit your call onto the radio and then it will be broadcasted on that radio station. You better hope they're listening then." She explained.

"It's better than nothing I suppose. Let's do it." I said.

Back to present time. After Frost's call. Third person.

At the base on Kronos, they furries were all waiting for Zero to pinpoint Frost's location. Zero could only track it as far as South Africa in Africa. They hope she can pinpoint a more exact location.

Frost and Pumzie had come to an agreement on payment. He'll take her to the crashed spaceship so that she can salvage as much as possible if she also gives him a firearm and hopefully a replacement arm. She got very excited about making his new arm and was babbling about synth technology.
