@Woofer: "I have no idea what games that boy wastes his time with or who out there in cyberspace he was playing with. I trust Visteon ensures that our youth are preoccupying themselves with wholesome entertainment.....but I can't see how that is relevant here! If I were to make a request with the security department, which by the way is run directly out of Ares headquarters in Detroit, then I would be able to obtain records of his online activities and passwords....I would even be able to initiate an astral tracking ritual with the monthly blood sample VIP's in this company must submit to in order to prevent forced extractions.....But once they re-obtained my son, they would follow a debriefing protocol which always includes truth scans, both magical and using ASSIST. They would quickly find that Jeshua left out of behavioral problems...or who knows , they my find that he is involved in far worse activities than simply running away. I have already gone out on quite a limb by personally vouching for my son, and concocting the bogus story that he and his friend had erroneously signed out as going shopping and instead were intended to be picked up by my sister. They only believe me because I am the regional director and he is my son, but this farce will not hold up much longer and I definitely do not have any pull with our parent corporation's security division. "
@Cynthia: "With regards to his RFID tags, his is implanted under his jaw next to a lymph node"
"With regards to his friend Isamu....Jeshua and his human friend used to be quite sociable boys and participated in all the important extracurriculars....I now remember that indeed, his mother did start complaining to me about six months ago that his behavior was changing...as was Isamus's. They would only do the bare minimum to keep their good standing and began spending most of their time indoors....and when they did go out they wouldn't even frequent the usual hang-outs for Visteon youth. I must admit as long as he was keeping his scores up, I didn't notice the change in his behavior. His friend Isamu is the son of mid-level manager named Miroslav Argentis who also thinks his son is on an extended vacation trip with my family....the only reason Isamu's parants are still not concerned is because I arranged for both of them to be placed on an important trip with a negotiating team which has been in New York for 10 days, and I've been trying to keep them as busy as I can....but there are only so many progress reports I can ask them to compile.
" Isamu and my son have been the best of friends since early childhood....at first I tried to steer him away from developing a close friendship with a human....for in the end, time treats us differently and it's best if us elves learn to share personal and close relationships with those of our own kind. Let us see.... what else.....Oh..<<chuckles>> I do remember Isamu was always a very inquisitive boy...too curious for his own good if you ask me. I remember on one of the few rare occasions that I ever had time to eat a meal with my family...his mother allowed him over for dinner and at one point the boy looked up at me from eating his plate of asparagus and asked me what it was like to live for an eternity.....what a curious question from a boy....I just chuckled...but he insisted on knowing. So I simply explained to him that the vast majority of all elves don't have any idea what it is like because even the oldest children of the sixth era are no older than sixty years old, even if we still look only 30....and scientists have no real idea how old we can get....but what they do know is that once Isamus is old and grey, Jeshua will still be strong young man....and that just set the poor boy off...I was merely teasing, but he ran straight home crying. Human's can be quite overly-sensitive...I guess they have to pack a lifetime's worth of feelings into such a short little span....how sad..."
<<He looks at Woofer with an aloof but cold little smirk>>
@Mercedes: "Interests besides VR games? The usual...he followed Urban Brawl....he liked very much to read. He had quite an imagination...that was one of the characteristics that united him with his friend.....that's all I can think of."
"With luck Visteon freely gives parents the physical coordinates of their children's RFID tags...so I do have the records of his physical whereabouts."
Germaine sends a file to all of your commlinks with the RFID records. The records show the whereabouts of Jeshua for the past year up until they go offline at an address: "1324 184th SE st. Apt. 7".
