Loud noises weren't uncommon in the Vega estate now that Nox had people he was actually training other than Cruz. But loud noises when no one was home was suspicious, so Cruz went down stairs to see what the racket was all about. None of the outside warning systems had gone off and unauthorized entry wasn't alerted on his computer so it was family. Mother and Christian were out doing whatever it was they did together. Dad was at work. Sage and Aiden were god knows where and Nox had gone to meet with Yun earlier in the day. So logic told Cruz it was Nox coming back unhappy. And he'd been unhappy a lot lately.
The house was quiet which is how Cruz liked it specially when he was studying for a big test. Now he might actually have to go the library to do his work, but first to make sure everything was alright. The wall near the backdoor was crushed a little which didn't bode well. And his prior assessment that it wasn't a BNE was put to the test.
Cruz opened the basement door and called downstairs. "Nox, is that you." Like any good classic horror movie when no answer came Cruz went down stairs. But he had a fireball ready just in case. The flickering light hung just in front of him ready to fling at the intruder.
Slowly walking down the stairs was no different than walking loudly down them, they would make noise either way so Cruz just walked. But he didn't see anyone in the dojo or ajoining area and headed for Nox and Sage's room - and the bathroom, though the water wasn't running so there was no chance of catching any of the men unaware. That could be dangerous.
Nox was in his room without a door stuffing his things into a bag. "What's going on? Why are you packing? Where are you going?" Cruz wanted to add can I come, but that was presumptuous. Nox thought of him as a kid, he probably didn't want some kid with him wherever he went.
