Two days later.
Jessy went to Antonia's room to check on the kids and she also has important things to ask about the leader of the savage vampire.
"How's everyone doing?" she asked when she closed the door behind her. "Hello, kids!"
The children raised their heads and smiled at her. "Hello!" they said in unison and turn their attention back to what they're doing.
She looked over the kids' shoulders wondering what keeps them busy today?
The kids were huddling in the bed, there were bond papers, pencils and crayons, and several children's books as well scissors in the bed, they were making drawings in the bond paper copying the image in the children's book.
Antonia went to their side.
"They would pick one illustration from the book and have a contest who among them can copy the image perfectly, then they would start the drawing process. At the end of the day, I will declare who is the winner that able to draw the illustration better than anyone. This type of activity keeps them occupied the whole day..." Antonia explained.
Jessy was delighted to see the kids having fun. "Who gives them those children's books?" Jessy asked upon counting five books in the bed.
"It's Princess Abigail. She visited us the other day and ask if we're okay and I told her about the children being restless, then, after a few hours she comes back and brought those books and pencils to the children's great delight, then she took a few minutes of her precious times to sketch an image from one of the books while the children were watching her drawing the pic showing them how it's done, so yeah, the children loves the excitement and challenges that comes when creating images and they been drawing ever since, it sparks their creativity and imaginations," Antonia elaborated further.
"That's brilliant!" Jessy commented and smiled at the kids, they were so engrossed in their drawing activity, they already have forgotten her presence inside the room.

She looked at the older woman. "Antonia, I have something to ask you about Jagger," she said.
They settled in the vacant bed near the door to talk privately, away from the children to avoid disturbing them.
"What is it that you want to know, Jess?" Antonia asked.
"I just want to know if Jagger has a family? Does he had a mother, father and siblings or relatives?"
"I know a little about him, but I heard from the other vampires that his parents were killed during the battle between the savage vampire and King Antone's men. He had an older brother that lives in a mountain far away from here, unfortunately, I don't know where...and I haven't seen the face of his brother even once...."
Jessy frowned. "Wait—why you know so little about your leader?" she asked in confusion.
Antonia sighed. "I don't know much about King Jagger's life's history. we're not that close. While I'm hiding and wandering in the forest with the kids dying of hunger and thirst, Jagger and his men happened to stumble upon us, he took pity us and decided to bring the kids and me to their hideout. That was the day our associations with him begins. Whatever bits and pieces of information I learned about him was only shared to me by some of the women I befriended while living with them in the cave. But they didn't tell me much about where he comes from..."
"So—you have no idea where his older brother was hiding?" Jessy pressed on.
"Yeah...I'm sorry that my information about his brother is limited. I'm sorry about my incompetence..."
"No. You don't have to say sorry, Antonia, it's not your fault," Jessy said not wanting to put the woman in a bad light. She stood up. "I will go now and visit you guys if I'm not busy, take care..." she smiled at the woman fondly then opened the door and left the room in preoccupied estate.

There's still one hour left before she was due to go back to the clinic, she went to her room and stay there waiting for the time to pass.
She got lots of things going in her mind right now.
While lying in her bed, she was profiling the leader of the savages, Jagger although appeared cruel to humans he does have a heart of gold towards his kind. When he saved Antonia and the kids, he does it out of pity. He could be uncaring towards humans because he considered humans being as a source of his blood supply—a means to an end, just like what human beings do...humans have no emotional attachments when killing pigs, chickens and other animals for food consumption—well—everyone who exists in this world has to survive one way or another.
This important piece of information was the one thing that intrigued her the most after knowing that Jagger got an older brother who is hiding in a faraway mountain—probably that brother was living with some of the spoils of war? Could that mountain be where the remaining bulk of savage vampires were being housed?
If her hunch is right...
How many vampire savages are living under the older brother's command?
Could they be in huge numbers like thousands that will threaten the overall safety of the Facility and the Habitat?
If yes, then there is a possibility that the two brothers will unite and attack the Facility sooner or later. They have to be prepared for that possibility or else there will be huge consequences later.
She has to think in advance so that any dangers and great damage could be prevented before they will start to happen.
Jagger is the only one who can lead her to his brother's hideout...
There's also a possibility that Jagger's brother was keeping human prisoners and put them in cages as their source of blood supply for daily survival. If her guess is right—she has a moral obligation to save those mortals from their miseries because part of her is made up of a mortal's blood due to her mother's lineage. She has a soft heart when it comes to humans because she is a human being after all.
She can only take two sides and that is the human's side and the vampires' side which was under the King's guidance. As for the savage vampires...she will deal with them with absolute caution.
Her thoughts wandered back to the leader of the vampire.
The last time she saw Jagger he was alone, he was a lonely ranger now, it would be easy to defeat him. But it would be unwise to face him head-on 'coz she isn't skilled when it comes to hand to hand combat and a woman's physical strength is always inferior to that of a man. The only way to defeat him is by using her power.
She needs to hatch a wise plan to trap and catch Jagger so that he can lead her to the hideout of his brother and finish all the surviving savages and kill Jagger on the spot once she already discovered the older brother's camp.
The Facility and the Habitat should be protected at all times, which become her motto in life.
But she needs to bring Adam back to the Facility first to cast a shield, a protective barrier all over the Habitat and to the Facility as well. Although, she already erected a barrier shield on the Facility, still, it has never been tested, another barrier from Adam can also strengthen the Facility and the Habitat's protective defense against the enemy and unwanted intruder. Two is always better than one.
