After what seemed like eternity. The bus arrived. Katya climbed on, just about to take a seat but the bus driver stopped her, wanting money. Katya nodded and deposited the money, asking him how much and what had to be done. Finally, she asked him for directions to the library, and the bus driver had told her that the fourth stop will put them only three blocks west of the library. Katya thanked the man and found herself a seat.
"He said zat ze library is going to be ze force stop. Zen ve head vest only zeree blocks." She smiled as she said this.

He nodded, and off they went. They rose the bus for a little white, and came to their stop. Daniel got up, and Katya go before him. They exited the buds, and looked around.
He turned to her, "Lead the way..." He said smiling.

Katya grabbed Daniel's hand as she made her way across the streets and through the library. She checks in and asks to help her look up something. Katya asks about Dr. Kristovitch. The librarian then directs Katya to some books written by her.
Katya picked up one of the books and examines it.
"I did not know my mozer wrote books... Zat is so cool. Too bad I cannot read it."
She flips through the book, still trying to figure out some clues. "Looks like I might need to ask somevone..."

Daniel turned best red from Katya taking his hand. The whole time he had a little grin on his face as they walked through the snow. Once at the library, the librarian directed them to some boo Katya's mother wrote.
"Wow... your mother sure is something..." He said, looking at the books. He couldn't understand anything in them, so he just put it down.
"Maybe ask the librarian if she knows how we could get in contact?" He suggested.

Katya nodded. "I suppose she could help."
She then flipped over the book on the back, to see a much older, red-haired woman on the back. As if there were any doubt. This was definitely her mom. Katya asks the librarian about her mom's whereabouts and how to find her. The librarian gives Katya a funny look before finally revealing her location.
"Daniel! She is a college professor! She teaches people... Is zat cool?" Her mom sounded even more amazing on paper.

Daniel was bumbling around the library. He tried to read the books, but it just wasn't happened. Katya returned, excited to say that her mother was a professor.
"Oh..!? Did she say what school? We could go there and see if she's teaching now?"
Daniel smiled. Maybe this would be easier than they thought.

"Oh..!? Did she say what school? We could go there and see if she's teaching now?"
"Yes! I know vere she is! Ve can go and see her. But ve need a taxi. So um... yeah. I cannot believe zat ve heff found her."
She was so excited and so happy. She squeezes Daniel, so happy. She's never been this happy before. "Zank you for everyzing."
Lei and Helena were now in town, searching around to find out where the duo would be. Lei went and checked the surrounding area. They had no such luck. There was literally no sign of the two. Lei sighed to himself. "All things, considered... there is literally no sign of them..." He shook his head.
"So, what are we going to do then?" Helena asks.
"We're going to see Miss Elise." Lei declared.
"What good is that going to do?"
"She might not know of the wherabouts of her daughter, but if she really is here, she's going to go to her mom."
"We can't just show up at her home and tell her that she has a daughter who is looking for her."
"That's why we're going back to school." Lei held up some flyers for the college that Dr. Kristovitch works at. "Helena, did you ever attend college?"
"No, never."
"Oh? Well, you finished high school, yes?"
"Mhmm."
"Good. Basically college is like high school but better. You're an adult surrounded by other adults, and well, you get to learn whatever the hell you want to learn. I enjoyed college when I attended." Lei smiles. "I graduated with a bachelor's in psychology. I willingly went there because I wanted to be a better cop." "Good for you." Helena really hated school. It was nothing but a waste of time. Why pay money to learn something, when you can just learn it for free?
Lei then stood by the bus stop, waiting for a ride back to the car.

Daniel blushed once more when Katya hugged him. He held her just as tight. "You're welcome Katya... that's what friends do!" He said.
He stepped back, and laughed a bit. "Let's Go! We're so close...." He ranoutside with her, and stopped the first taxi he could find.
He got in and looked to KATYA to tell him where they were going.

Katya got in with Daniel and asked the taxi to take them to the college. University of Warsaw was their next destination. This was where she was going to find her mom. But now, she has to try and navigate her way on the campus.
"Ve need to find a hellf desk of sorts."
'Alright class! That is all for today! If you have any more questions, come see me after class. Also... do not forget! Homework is due tomorrow night. And then after tomorrow, we're going to have a discussion about the homework assignment and go over it. Mark it on your calendar.' ('In Polish')
The instructor closes her laptop as she gathered her things up. She was done for the day. The woman brushes a strand of her hair to the side, as she was just about to exit, but one of her students stopped her.
"Dr. Kristovitch, I've been wanting to talk to you."
The woman narrowed her eyes. "Vat do you vant?"
"Relax... no need to be hostile. I just want to talk. About your work, and your life. I've been reading your books, and I must say, what a brilliant mind you have. Mind if I pick your brain for a moment?"
Dr. Kristovitch glanced at her watch. She was done for the day. The guy seemed pretty friendly anyway, so it wouldn't be a bad thing.
"Say, you want to discuss this over coffee?"
"Sure. Zat sounds nice. I knou just ze shop."
"Lead the way."
Helena had been walking down the halls, looking for Daniel and Katya. She left this up to Lei to talk to Dr. Kristovitch. Hopefully, he doesn't do anything stupid.

Daniel was quiet in the way to the school. Once there, he looked around. So this was a college campus? He had never really seen one. It was large, and all the people were confusing.
He looked at her. "Maybe just ask a student where her classroom is?" He suggested.
He crossed his arms, and looked around. Looking for any clues.

"Maybe just ask a student where her classroom is?"
"Great idea!" Katya exclaimed.
Katya then approached a student, asking them about her mother. He had no idea where she was. So Katya asked another, and another, and another, until finally, she found a student who pointed her in the right direction.
"Okay, she should be in zat building over zere. Somevone said zat ze class vas over, so she should be leaving and getting in her car pretty soon. Ve must hurry and see if ve can catch her."

Daniel ran to the building with Katya. He looked around, his adrenaline pumping. He saw a sigh that seemed to her office, and pulled a student aside.
"Kristovich?" He asked pointing at the classroom. The student nodded, and said something in Polish. Daniel just smiled awkwardly and walked in. He looked around.
"No one is here..." he said.

Katya followed Daniel, but it was too late. She had already left the building.
"Ve are too late..." Katya mumbled. She steps outside with Daniel, upset about this whole debacle. They just couldn't get her. They were far too slow.
However, Katya looked up, and saw her mom, and what appears to be another man carrying her stuff. What's going on. Katya wanted to run and greet her mom, but she had already gotten in the car with the stranger and left.
Just as she was moping and out of breath, a quite tall, tanned brunette woman walked up.
"Is everything okay? You look a bit sad." She spoke in English and had a bit of a Greek accent.

Daniel ran after Katya, it stopped when he recognized Helena, his brothers friend and the woman who asked him about Katya. He stood, frozen and not sure what to do... He looked around. He saw sunglasses and a hat sitting on the ground behind what he could only assume was a student.
Silently, and quickly, he picked them up and put them on.
"Uhm...." he placed his hand on Katya's shoulder and looked down.
"She forgot her homework..." he said to Helena in his best Polish accent.

"Vell, um... my_"
Daniel interrupted her by telling her that she had forgotten her homework. Katya nodded.
"My professor... Dr. Kristovitch just drove off in ze car vith zat strange man..."
"I see..." Helena stood, arms crossed with her hand on her chin in a thinking-pose.
She definitely found her targets. They were indeed looking for Dr. Kristovitch. But she can't get info with them just yet. They probably are not trusting, so she might have to keep an eye out for them, make sure no one hurts them. She'll let Lei know about this later. Right now, he's going to get info from Dr. Kristovitch.
"Perhaps maybe you can see if you can probably call her. Maybe go to her office, or maybe check the website and see if she has electronic copies of your assignment."
