Summary: "I takes 'em to Pleasure Island . No, no. There's no risk. They never come back...as BOYS!" Tyce was one of these abused kids. But unlike the others, he unwillingly developed a love for his captor; a love that might never be returned.

"How would you blokes like to make some real money?" the coachman inquired.

He placed his feet harshly upon the table and tilted back in his chair. There was no way this man could have been any older than thirty, but the confidence in his voice gave off the impression that he was much older.

Honest John glanced at Gideon before replying, "Well…and who do we have to, eh…" He drew his finger across his throat.

The coachman chuckled, "No. Nothing like that." He slowly dragged himself back into an upright position and leaned closer to the men opposite him. Then in a low voice, he whispered, "You see…I'm collecting stupid little boys."

"Stupid little boys?" Honest John repeated confusedly.

"You know, the disobedient ones that play hooky from school."

"Ooh!"

"And you see…" the coachman whispered even quieter.

"Yes?" Honest John ushered him on eagerly.

"…I takes 'em to Pleasure Island."

"Ah, Pleasure Island!" Honest John reiterated. Then suddenly, he drew back in surprise with realization in his eyes, " Pleasure Island? But the law! Suppose they…"

"No, no." He interrupted, "There's no risk! They never come back…as boys!" the coachman laughed wickedly. "Now, I've got a coach load leaving at midnight. We'll meet at the crossroads and no double crossing!"

"No sir!" Honest John assured him.

"Scout around. Any good prospects you find, bring 'em to me."

"Yes chief."

"I'll pay you well. I got plenty of gold."

"Yes, yes." Honest John said excitedly and quickly hurried off to lure unknowing little boys to their doom.

Yes I know the chapter is short, but it's only the beginning. It's so nice writting for fanfiction again. I have a Kiba x Naruto fic just WAITING to be written. I'll start it once I get back to Toronto. As for this fic, I'll probably update every day this week, so for everyone who likes this story, you should be happy to know that there will be more very soon.
