It has been about five days since mom found me. I won’t lie it hasn’t been easy not knowing when I’ll ever be free once again. I’m sure my friends will think of something. I do wonder who may of shrunk me.

“I wonder who would have the nerve to do something like this to me?” I asked aloud.

“Who indeed.” Mom said.

I froze. I didn't even notice she was home. “If you have any ideas who may of done this to you. You need to let me know if it was the spirits it would be typical of them. They never approved of your father and I.” Mom said.

“No the spirits wouldn’t of done this to me.” I said.

“You can’t be too sure.” Mom said.

“Trust me I am. The spirits are kind hearted beings and wouldn’t do anything like this.” I said knowing it was true along with the fact that I have formed friendships among many spirits.

“Then if you don’t think them who do you think did it?” Mom asked.

I narrowed my eyes. “Probably the elephant rat triad or the daitu.” I said infrigrated.

“The daitu?” Kuvira asked.

“They’re this group of scientists that conduct less than legal practices.” I said this she should know about.

“Where would this base by any chance be?” Mom asked.

“We currently don’t know everyone in the city has been looking because they’ve caused quite a lot of problems for others by committing unethical experiments on victims without them even relaizing it. I explained not wanting her to get too aware but still knowing she would’ve figured out that I do have ties with them due to her ability to read people’s faces. 

“And just why do have ties with such a dangerous group?” Mom asked sounding firm and alarmed. 

“Uh…” I said.

“You’re going to answer this question Chika.” Mom stated.

A guard then approached. “Great Uniter there is a silent revolt going on in the western side of the city that may need your attention.” A male guard said.
“Thank you for the information soldier. dismisses.” Mom said formally.

She then turned to me and I shrinked back in fear of the coming conversation “I’ll be back later Chika and I expect an answer otherwise I may need to take matters into my own hands to help you with your apparent enemies.” Mom said.

I didn’t know what I was gonna do just tell her why I couldn’t no matter how much she interrogated me or threatened.
