Chapter 164
Ivan

A smile spread across Drake's face, “That’s part of it. The other part is that unless Boss himself were to come and get me, or his Enforcers, the ones that do come for me can’t beat me.” 
“Until Ivan.” Caleb pointed out. 
“That’s not totally true. I could track Drake, but unless he only fought me hand to hand, he would win. Energy Manipulation is not an easy thing to beat. It’s something that takes a long time to master and Drake has had the time to master it.” I pointed out. 
“Ivan’s right. It does take a long time to master, but I still can learn more. I know how to do a lot but I’m sure there’s even more that can be done with it.” Drake added. 
“Besides, Boss has me on Ariya. He would never take me off and put me on trying to find Drake. He did at first when we were trying to get his scent, but that stopped the second Boss learned that Ariya was a Blood Born Navi.” I added. 
“Isn’t Boss paying attention as much as Drake does?” Keo asked. 
“Yes and no. Boss pays attention closely but only to what's going on around him. He isn’t paying attention to where Ariya is because he has me on it. Someone he believes he can trust. As long as I don’t cause doubt to that trust he’ll leave Ariya to me.” I explained. 
How are you going to scent him then? Ariya asked me. 
I’m not. You are. Well, we both are. If you have his attention I can scent him because I’m usually behind him. But I want you to try to do it. We have plenty of chances to scent Boss. We just have to make sure to only use the discreet way. It’s like trying to scent Drake. I’ll show you an even more discreet way later. I explained. 
“Drake, at some point tonight, I’m going to try to scent you. I want you to tell me when or if you think I do.” I told him. 
Huh?! Why would you tell him? Now he’s going to be focused on catching you. Ariya asked me, shocked. 
Because if Drake is focused on it and I can get away with it, it means that Boss isn’t going to notice. I laughed. 
Drake raised an eyebrow at me, “Is that a challenge?” 
“Yes. Only because we’re going to try to see if we can’t get Boss’ scent.” I answered him. 
Drake nodded, “Challenge accepted.” 
“There’s more, I needed to ask you to check my memories after. Something’s been bugging me. The person that trained me, his name was Ryker but I don’t remember anything about him.” I told Drake. 
“You think someone else might have messed with your memories?” Drake asked.
“Yes, but I also need to know, why did you send me to infiltrate? What was the purpose? I’m not mad, I’m just curious. There had to be a reason. Because whatever that reason was, there’s a reason I stayed for 14 years without getting my memories back and leaving.” I explained. 
Drake’s eyes went wide, “You infiltrated that night to try to make sure that we would get inside information. You were looking to see if any Navi had been captured but also to see if they were continuing to search for us. They pretty much wiped everyone out. We’re all that’s left. But Ivan, if someone messed with your memories, there’s a good chance that they know you’re not who you say you are.” 
“The plan to hunt you guys never changed. Does that mean that they have someone from the Navi?” I asked. 
“It’s possible. Either that or you never found the answer. If you never found the answer it would explain why you’ve been there for so long. Not finding the answer to the reason you infiltrated would mean that you wouldn’t have gotten your memories back unless we triggered them back.” Drake explained. 
“What if someone did mess with my memories? Why would they do that to hide the person that trained me? Why hide Ryker?” I asked. 
It wasn’t adding up. Something was bugging me. Who would be able to mess with my memories? They wouldn’t be able to do so without touching me because of the mate bond I had with Ari. It prevented my mind from being messed with. Drake had locked almost everything about me in my mind. The only thing was my mission. But I didn’t remember my mission after 14 years. 
Breath, Ivan. Remember what my Mom said. Focus on remembering the beginning from when you infiltrated and the pieces should fall into place. Ariya told me. 
You’re right. It’s just really bugging me. It’s like there’s so much more to it that I don’t know. Something bad. I told her. 
“I can search your memories now if you want. I can’t promise I’ll be able to break through the lock if there is one. But I should be able to see if there is.” Drake offered. 
“Ivan’s right though, it’s not adding up. Unless…” Keo trailed off. 
“Unless what? Say what’s on your mind, Keo.” Drake encouraged him. 
“We don’t have any information on the Enforcers right? What if Ryker is an Enforcer?” Keo asked. 
I paled at the thought, “If Ryker is the one that trained me and he’s an Enforcer now, that means that Ryker knows exactly how to beat me.”
