Tywin Lannister

"I won't let happen. I promise. Micah told her she would be allowed to keep him, and I'll make sure him and Father honor that."

"Thank you. I really appreciate it."

"You're welcome." I said as we finally made it to her living quarters.

I looked up as Micah came back. "Anything?"

I sighed and shook my head "No. They're also still looking for Molly to question her about Joy's room."

I grit my teeth but tried not to let it show how frustrated I was. "I'll give them a few more minutes to search, then we need to start thinking about expanding it."

"Yes, Sir."

"If we're going out into the wilderness to look for them, we might as well kill two birds with one stone. Go and draw up arrest papers for the missing people from the districts."

"Are you sure? I assure you such an act will not win these people over. After tonight we should really be hearing them out more."

"And I don't recall asking for your opinion. There are too many people out there who are criminals. The majority of them will not be held, but I want all of them questioned about what exactly happened to make them leave here. There are families that are worried sick over their lost children. A Mr. Ackermann has actually been in touch with me in person."

I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes. "A lot of District One citizens died during the explosions. On my spare time I've been digging into their backgrounds. A Mrs. Davenport actually lost her son when he was a teenager, he was a runaway. Then she lost her daughter. She was very distraught when I spoke with her. I've also spoke to a Mr. Ross Ford who's been held in prison for a few years now. His son, Preston Ford is the one who killed two of our soldiers during his escape. The other son, Collin Ford was the bar victim this evening." I told him "I also recall speaking with a Mr. Jaxon who's home was blown up while both teenagers were inside."

"Exactly my point. And I know there are others, I just don't have the list in front of me. Those kids at the very least need to be found."

"And what if there is nothing to find? What if they really died?"

"If they really died, then they really died. The arrest warrants will be null and void. But I still want you to draw them up on the chance that they are out there. Go do that now, then we'll be on our way."

"That's going to be a lot of warrants but I'll get on that." I said and left the office to do as he asked. I pulled a soldier off to the side "Find my brother and find him now. Search everywhere in the Capitol." he agreed and left.

I went and found a servant and told him to make sure my vehicle was gassed up, loaded with everything we would need, and ready within the hour. He agreed and hurried out.

I finished writing out all of the warrants and started gathering the supplies I would need. I wrote Isabelle a letter and gave it to one of the servants so it could be delivered to her. I went back to my Father's office "We're all ready."

"Good. Then let's go," I said and he followed me out.

I went into my Father's tent early that morning to give him an update. "I have good news."

"And what would that be?" I asked, finishing getting ready before turning to face him.

"We've located the camp. The runaways...including Joy Anna and Ian have been spotted. But, something is going on that does have them stressed and not paying attention to their surroundings right now. They've been going out into different search parties, they're pretty occupied with it." 

"Interesting. But excellent. If they're not paying attention it'll be easier to take them by surprise. Is everyone getting ready? We need to outline the game plan. Where is Alexis?"

"She'll be here very soon, I stopped at her tent already and asked her to meet with us."

"Good. Once she gets here we can decide how to situate the troops and move in." 

I joined Micah and Tywin in Tywin's tent. "Good morning." I smiled.
