Chapter 2 finally! I had a writer's block lol! Enjoy!

"Are you sure you can't try contacting your parents again?" Maka asked as we got off the subway in downtown New York.

"No, I tried five times by calling, texting, and emailing. Even Lord Death tried and couldn't contact them." I explained.

"Well, this will be more difficult then." Maka sighed.

"Oh come on Maka, that just makes it more fun, doesn't it?" Soul joked.

Maka glared at him. We came out of the subway station and see huge buildings and many people and cars.

"It's gonna be impossible to find my parents or Wild Fire in a place like this." I mumbled to myself.

"Did you say something, Ali? It's kinda hard to hear over all this city noise." Maka said.

"Uh, no. I didn't say anything." I said smiling.

I need to stay positive and determined if I want to actually succeed at this quest.

"So where should we start? There are so many places to check." Maka said as we walked down the busy street.

"Yea, like GameStop." Soul grinned.

"This is not the time to be tourists, Soul." Maka scolded.

"It's ok Maka. Maybe we should stop and take a break anyways. That plane and subway ride was somewhat exhausting." I said.

So we all stop for ice cream. It was nice to relax but the problem was that I couldn't relax. I couldn't stop thinking about my parents and Bryan.

Are they ok? What if Wild Fire killed them already? What would he do with Bryan if he succeeded in killing my parents? Would he wipe out my whole family? I can't imagine what life would be like without my family!

"Hey, Ali." Soul said interrupting my thoughts.

I look over at him. "Yea?"

"You're just sitting there with your melting ice cream cone. If you don't want it, I'll take it." Soul grinned.

I look down to see some of my chocolate ice cream going down my hand. I didn't even eat my ice cream yet.

"Are you ok?" Maka looked at me concerned for she knows I always have room for treats.

"Oh, uh…yea." I said using my fake smile again and began to eat my ice cream finally.

Soul and Maka exchanged glances. I knew that glance. It's a glance they give each other as if they were reading each other's minds. I just pretend I didn't see it and continued to eat my ice cream. I don't need anyone to be worried about me. After ice cream, we once again decide where we should begin to investigate.

"I think we should go to the dangerous parts of the city like allies and rundown buildings. Its sounds like a place your parents and Wild Fire would be." Soul explained.

"Sounds like a good suggestion to me." I said.

"But Ali, aren't you the least bit nervous you don't have your weapon with you?" Maka asked.

"I'll be fine." I said with my annoyed face.

I hate it when people keep worrying about me. We head off to some allies. I see some men secretly exchanging stuff. They're probably drug dealers. They keep watching us carefully and we watch back carefully.

"You think they'd know where Wild Fire might be." Soul whispered to us as we passed them.

"I doubt Wild Fire is a drug addict." Maka rolled her eyes.

"How do you know?" Soul asked.

"Well, you know…" Maka trailed off unsure.

"Let's just go. We have to start somewhere." I said as I headed towards the men determined.

"Hey, do know a guy named Wild Fire?" I asked confidently to the men.

The men looked at each other then one of them said "Yea, I've seen him around here. Why?"

"It's important for me to see him. So do you know where he is?" I explained somewhat annoyed they're questioning me.

They look at each other again.

"Just get out of here, kid. He'd probably kill you anyways." The other man said.

"So you do know where he is. Tell me." I said glaring at them.

"No you stupid kid."

"Tell me where he is or I'll tell the police about your little trading going on here." I said through gritted teeth and gesturing to their pockets where they were hiding their drugs.

"I guess we can't let that happen then." The man grinned and both pulled out guns and aimed them at us.

Soul transformed and I charged my soul wave length. The men started shooting at us. I pushed my soul wave length towards both of them and they fell to the ground as their guns flew away from them. They were very shocked that some kids were kicking their ass. Maka jumped into the air and landed on them, about to finish them off.

"Wait, Maka!" I said running over.

Maka looked up confused. I ran over and whispered to her.

"We need to ask them again while they're weak and defenseless."

Maka nodded and held her scythe to their throats.

"Now, where is Wild Fire?" I asked.

"We last saw him in at Bobby Mackey's Motel." One of the men said while staring at the scythe.

"Do you work for him?" Maka asked.

"Yea, he has gangs all throughout New York."

I glared at them. They were basically my parents' enemies then and I guess mine now too.

I turn away and said "Kill them."

I heard the scythe slash. I look back to see Soul eating two red souls. I'm guessing Wild Fire's gangs are kishins.

"That was good." Soul said sighing with satisfaction.

I sensed someone watching us. I look around. I thought I saw a shadow at the corner of a rundown building. I walk over to it and hear faint running footsteps.

"Ali, what are you doing?" Maka asked.

I look around the bend and see no one.

"I think someone was watching us." I said I turned back to Maka and Soul.

"Oh great. Our luck, it's probably one of Wild Fire's gang members." Maka said putting her hands on her hips.

"Whatever, let's just get to that Bobby Mackey's motel before Wild Fire leaves." Soul said.

Maka and I nodded. After looking at our map to find out where Bobby Mackey's motel is, we head off for it quickly.

Bryan's Point Of View

I heard a conversation between Wild Fire and a man.

"Wild Fire," A man came to Wild Fire out of breath.

"What?" Wild Fire asked annoyed.

"Three kids killed two of our men, George and Bill."

"And I'm guessing these weren't ordinary kids."

"No, sir. They were from the DWMA for sure. And I'm positive the one using only soul wave length was Ali."

"Perfect." Wild Fire chuckled. "Tell all the gangs to kill them except Ali. Bring her to me."

"Yes, sir." The man ran off.

Then Wild Fire came up to my cell.

"Looks like you'll be seeing your sister real soon, Bryan." Wild Fire grinned at me.

I glared at him without fear but on the inside I was nervous for Ali and whoever else was with her.
