War for Genius

10.- Relations and news

Hello everyone!! Here's the newest chapter! I want to thank to Empro8 for her help editing it 😊. You're really helping me a lot with this.

This chapter is quite emotional, it has some family feeling moments, and OMG! I really feel sad for Donald, Dewey and Louie in this one.

Even that, I hope you'll like it, so here we go

*************************************

Donald was desolated. A week had passed and there was no news from Huey. Every passing day made the sailor-dressed duck feel more and more desperate. Ten years ago, he lost his sister, and that hurt him... almost as much as the disappearance of his oldest nephew. But the difference between Della and Huey was that Della was an adult who made her own decisions, even if he hated the consequences it brought.

Huey in the other hand was an innocent child who was forcibly taken away from his home and kept separated from his family.

"Calm down Donald, we'll find him." uncle Scrooge had told him, but... was his uncle really convinced of it?

Donald didn't know what to do. They didn't know why Huey had been kidnapped. But there was one thing that Donald was certain about, and it was that the culprit is Mark Beaks. They had no physical proof of it, but Donald felt the surety inside him and inside him knew it must be Mark Beaks.

"He's given us access to all building's parts, including the restricted section. He has even offered to be present when we register his other properties." that was what the officer Cabrera had told them when she and her agents finished their Waddle's building registry.

Although Beaks' cooperation with the police force might look like a sign of innocence, the sailor-dressed duck that wasn't fooled. To be fair, Donald didn't understand much about police investigation, but after years of seeing his uncle's work the sea duck had a hard time believing that the leader of a technology company would be so cooperative, especially running the risk that with those registers' information from one of his secret projects will be filtered.

Everything was too suspicious.

Donald sighed. So far, whenever the police had contacted his family, it had been to tell them the same thing: That they still had no clue to the whereabouts of the red-dressed triplet. It seemed as if the boy had vanished in the air.

Donald sighed again. He was perfectly aware that he wasn't the only one suffering. His uncle Scrooge seemed to be moving heaven and earth trying to find his eldest grand-nephew, hardly even minding the expenses if it meant his nephew home safely.

Beakley had turned to keeping the family together as much as she could, knowing that she couldn't allow them to lose hope that Huey would return.

Duckworth had become very silent. Although it was true that the ghost barely knew the boys, in the short time he knew them he had grown fond of them. Knowing that one of them was missing... left the Ghostly butler quite affected.

With regard to children... Webby kept searching maps and more maps, trying to determine possible places where Huey could be hidden. In addition to drawing a kind of network centered on Huey, his hobbies, likes, friends, enemies and, in short, all the information related to the triplet dressed in red. A commendable task, but Donald knew that it would be very difficult —maybe even impossible— for the young girl to determine the location of her missing friend by applying that search method.

And finally, Dewey and Louie. Donald knew that his nephews were probably the ones having the worst time. Well, even if they didn't admit it as openly as Huey, they all liked being triplets, and to know that one of them was missing... it was as if they were missing a part of themselves, and both ducklings were aware of that.
