A/N: Ignore any remarks I made in the past chapter about this story being a one shot or whatever. This is basically going to be one story mixed with different… I'll just let you read already.
Disclaimer: Nothing you read necessarily means anything… if that makes any sense…and I do not own the Digimon Franchise in any way, shape, or form, but you already knew that… didn't you.
The Adventures of JP and Tommy
"Ok so what do we do now?" Tommy asked. He had never felt disconnected from anyone since the time he lost his parents at the mall. He was 6 at the time it happened, and this was begging to bring back unpleasant memories.
The train sped at a constant speed as the wheel screeched against steel, regardless of who was able to catch a ride or not.
"Don't worry. We'll just call them. Yeah that's what we'll do." JP said in a dumbfounded state. He pulled out his cell phone and speed dialed Takuya's number, and hoped someone would pick up.
The Adventures of Zoe and Takuya
The two were standing in the middle of the subway, in awe. With Takuya pacing around in a frantic stupor, Zoe could not help but shout at the idiotic goggle head.
"Oh-my-GOSH! Takuya why didn't you tell me the train was leaving?"
He stopped in place, with a surprised expression. "Me? You're the one that was trying on your hats and sunglasses and stuff."
"Yeah, but you should have told me the train was leaving!"
"I did! I DID! But you wouldn't listen," Takuya raised his voice, "You acted like as if I was bothering you!"
Suddenly his phone rang during the quarrel.
"Hold that thought," he said before he answered his phone, "Hello?"
"Dude what happened?" JP yelled on the other end. "I thought I told yall to hurry up?"
"We did- or I did!" he paced around in circles with Zoe starring a mud hole through him. "I tried to tell Zoe but she wouldn't listen because she wanted to try on some hats and stuff."
Zoe was now giving him a deadly look that could kill. How dare he place the blame on her, she thought.
"Geez, man. Are Kouichi and Kouji with you then?"
"No… I thought they made it with you."
"Nope there not on here!" JP clenched his forhead in frustration, for he did not like where this was going. Not only did the twins not make it on the train, but they weren't even with Takuya and Zoe.
"Crap so what do we do now?"
"We should call them on three-way."
JP put Takuya on hold, dialed Kouji's number, and waited for a response.
The Adventures of Kouji and Kouichi
Kouji felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, but to his misfortune, he could not answer it with a gun pressed against his spine, which could potentially shatter it to pieces.
"Don't answer it and keep walking, both of you." The man with the clown mask ordered, jamming his gun further into Kouji's back, causing him to yelp.
"I'm going. I'm going." He said as he dragged his foot.
Once they left out the restroom, a second man who was bald and strongly built than the one behind them grabbed both of them by the arm and walked them with easy. His arms made their heads look like twigs and face looked fierce as an animal. Even though he had the brawns of a body builder, chances were he did not have the brains to back it up.
Kouichi had the urge to scream for help, for if he did not they may never get another opportunity ever again. They say that within the first few minutes is the best time for escape. After that, you can kiss your blessings goodbye.
"Scream and I'll break your necks." The muscular dude snarled in a husky voice that sent chills down their spines, as if he were reading their thoughts.
Kouji's phone kept vibrating despite the fact he had to ignore it.
"Could I please answer it? It could be my mother or something. I need to tell her how much I love her." The teen pleaded.
"Hey she's my mom too… sorta." Kouichi reminded.
"Shut up both of you and head towards the exit." The clown face sneered with the concealed gun inside his cloak in order not to make a scene (as if wearing a mask wasn't already suspicious).
Kouichi was not sure but from his peripheral vision, he may have two teens, one brunette male and a blond female, standing with their backs facing them. The brunette was on the phone while the blond stared at him with her arms crossed.
"Keep looking forward!" the two mysterious men barked, diminishing their chance of ever seeing their friends again.

"Dammit! None of them are answering!" JP said with disappointment. "Now what do we do?"
Time was running out, and everyone was starting to worry for the twins safety.
"How bout you guys get off at the next stop and we'll meet you there." Takuya suggested.
"What about the twins. How will they know to meet us?"
"We should look for them." Zoe chimed in on her phone.
"AH! Zoe how'd you do that?" she startled Takuya.
"Never mind that, we have to find Kouji and Kouichi. They could be in trouble."
"How do you know?" JP asked.
"I don't. I'm just saying that it doesn't make sense that its taking them so long to use the restroom, unless something went wrong."
"Yeah, like they're probably constipated." JP chuckled all by himself. The other two did not find it funny.
"Ahem, yeah, so… you guys go ahead and look for them. And if you don't find them, get on the next train and get your butts over here, pronto."
"Alright." Takuya answered.
"But what if we don't find them?" Zoe asked, still worried for the worst.
"Well they better not have chickened out and gone home or something. Other wise- wait a minute…. I see what's going on here now."
"What?" Takuya's voice cracked.
"You're trying to have Zoe all to you're self aren't you Takuya!"
"What? Don't be ridiculous"
"Oh ho ho yes, it all makes sense now. You saw both Kouji and Kouichi leave and you thought this would be the best time to have Zoe for the taking!" JP's voice was now menacing over the airwaves into Takuya's ears with his accusations.
Zoe interrupted him before he went too far, "Trust me JP, I'm not some trophy to be won by any of you guys."
JP felt a little eased."Fine whatever, but if you don't make it here within an hour, Me and Tommy are leaving without yall." With that, JP hung up.
Takuya hung up and looked at his phone to check the time. He placed the phone in his pocket and looked at Zoe who was looking at him with a grudging look.
"Well then, lets go look for those two, eh?" Takuya said with discomfort.
"I still can't believe you think this is all my fault." She muttered, with arms folded defiantly, "And to think I had to be stuck with you."
As she hounded Takuya, they went into the busy subway to look for their kidnapped friends (but of course, they don't know that).

The raven-haired twins were inches away from a jet black Cadillac. One of the guys opened it and ordered them to get in.
Still not knowing why all of this was taking place, they questioned the men's motives
"Why are yall doing this?" Kouichi whined. He was moments away from showing a temper tantrum.
"Yeah, what did we ever do to disserve this?" his brother added. Unlike his brother, he kept a cool head.
"Shut up. You know exactly why." The burly man was breathing down their neck with every word.
"Yah we got duwect odahs from da boss to have you two in custody." The clown faced said in a Brooklyn accent that wasn't noticeable before.
"I knew it Kouji. You have been dabbling in some deep stuff here, haven't you? What crimes have you been committing while mom and dad were away. Why Kouji Why?" he turned his attention to the kidnappers, "Look I'm sorry on the behalf of my brother for what ever felon he's committed. So could ya please let me go, because I had nothing to do with whatever he's done."
"What?" Kouji was shocked of his brother's actions… to think he would try selling him out to save his neck. "I didn't do anything. I've been a good boy."
"Shad up you two and just get in the cah and erybody goes home unharmed. And since when did yall change ya names anyway?"
"Change names? Kouji what is really going on here? Have you been living a double life?" Kouichi eyes then widened, "Or wait a minute. You not really my brother at all are you? Its all been a lie. I'VE BEEN LIED TO!"
He was causing a scene as people walked by to see what the maniac was screaming about.
"I'm not gonna ask you two agen. Now get in!" The joker face yelled as the body builder behind them shoved them in the car against their will.
They shut the door behind them and faced the crowd that was beginning to suspect something.
"No need to worry people! Just some rebellious teens who won't listen to their… uncles." The kidnapper lied then took off his mask in order not to seem anymore suspicious then he already was. The mans face had a light scar above his right eyebrow and a thin brown beard clung around his chin with hair to match.
Before anyone could question him and his partner, he quickly got in the drivers side and drove off.
Everyone then moved on as if seeing people dressed as comic book villains, taking people into cars against their will, was normal. Nonetheless, one man with common sense picked up his phone and called the police.
"Hello? Yes, I'll like to report a kidnapping."

Takuya and Zoe scavenged every bathroom in the subway and were at the last one. It was possible the Kouji and Kouichi were still in their. They had been searching for hours it seemed even though it was just a few mintues.
"Where could they be?" Takuya wondered aloud.
"This is the last restroom, so they got to be in there." Zoe mentioned as she jogged in front of him.
"Alright I'll go check." he said as he walked in the mens room, cautiously.
The pungent smell from the stalls, and what was in them, bombarded his nose, especially the last one. He inched closer with one hand over his mouth. The smell was so awful he was certain he would faint over any minute.
"WHAT DIED IN HERE!" a voice yelled from behind him. He spun around only to see Zoe gagging for air.
"ZOE! What are you doing in the men's room." The boy whispered.
"What? It's not like anyone's here."
"Aw! A girls in the guys room." one stranger yelled as he ran off once he saw her.
Zoe turned her attention back to Takuya and gave him an "Oh well" look.
"You shouldn't be here!" the boy continued in a hissing voice
"Well I want to find the guys just as much as you do so I shou—" she got a good whiff of the reek in the air, "OH gosh what is that?"
"Its coming from this stall." Takuya hissed, his hand waiving the air from his nose and mouth.
Zoe walked over to him and they both opened the stall together only to meet a displeasing sight.
"OH GOSH!" Zoe yelled
"What happened here?" Takuya asked himself. There was defecation all over the place and a poor ol' man who had fainted.
"Hey!"
The elderly man woke up in a daze, not knowing where he was. He saw the two teens staring down at him and he began to wheeze.
"No wait! We don't mean harm." Zoe tried to calm down the stranger.
"Is it over?" the old man asked, still subconscious.
"Is what over?"
"The guys. Are they gone?"
"What guys?"
"Did they stop?
"Did what stop?"
This was becoming an annoying pattern.
"Are the police coming?"
"WHY WOULD THE POLICE BE COMING?" The two yelled together.
"I DON'T KNOW!" the man replied with a concerned look. "And what are you doing in the men's room?" he was referring to Zoe.
"Look, would you please tell us what happened?" Takuya asked in his most polite tone.
"OH… well… as you can see I crapped my pants… it's a habit. It mainly happens whenever I'm frightened easily."
"Apart from that. What happened?"
"Oh… well let's see. I was coming out of the stall when I saw two teens and-"
"Two teens? How did they look." Zoe interrupted.
"Fine and healthy."
"No we need a description." Takuya cleared the ambiguity.
"Oh… well… they were boys. You know, they kind of remind me of my grandsons when I think of it because-"
"Hey buddy stay on topic!"
"Oops sorry. My wife complains about that all the time. She says I can be a complete-"
"Your doing it again"
"Oops sorry again. Now where was I."
"The teens. A description."
"I didn't get a real good look at them."
The two nearly fell over in dismay.
"Well would you say they look like twins?"
The old man pondered for few minutes too long. He was stretching his brain muscles farther than he ever had to before.
"Yes. Yes I believe so."
Both Zoe and Takuya gasped with excitement.
"Did they have dark hair?"
"…and did one wear a bandana?"
"Yes! YES! How do you know?"
"Those guys are our friends."
"Realy now. Well they may be in trouble."
"What?" this was unsettling news for the two of them. Here they were hoping that they were ok only to hear that they are in trouble.
"Yes. One man came in here with them at gunpoint and told them to follow. I tried to come out and stop him but I was too scarred to do anything," The man looked down at the floor in shame as he moaned," Oh I'm a failure."
Zoe gazed at the man with a concerned look. "That's not true. Because of you, we have an idea where our friends are."
The aging man looked up with a wrinkled smirk on his face. His ego boosted a little.
"By the way you young snappers, my name is Matthew… and I need to go home."

JP and Tommy were starring at each other's eyes with intensity. JP's eyes twitched as he glared into Tommy's. Tommy on the other hand was at ease. JP with all his might kept his eyes open until… until… he blinked.
"Ahaaah! I win!" Tommy exclaimed.
"Gah, how bout the best two out of three." JP whined.
JP looked in the direction of the train tracks. He wondered when the next train would come with his friends on board.
"Guys where are you?"
-xxx-
"You guys stay tight back there and you'll be back home in no time." The scrawny guy said as he placed the handcuffs on their wrist and behind their back.
"Home?" Kouichi asked himself, he never recalled these two ever raising him up during child hood. "Kouji, who are these guys?"
"How should I know?"
"You can't fool us, toots. We're gonna turn you guys in to yo fathah and get paid our rightful wages, so you guys don't think about spoiling this up, kapeesh."
Both of the twins still did not understand what was going on here.
"Look man. I don't know who you guys are, but you got the wrong guys." Kouji snapped. His arms struggled to get loose somehow.
"We're not rebellious teens running away from our parents." Kouichi added. He too was wrestling with the shackles on his wrists.
"Then why were guys at the subway today?"
Both the twins paused for a second, "We were going with friends to see a relative."
"What? You can't be serious. The boss got pictures of you guys and everthin saying that you tried to leave."
The twins could not understand how this was possible. Was there a family secret that was never revealed to them till now?
After their quick stop near the gas station, they were off on the road again.
(BGM: On the Road Again, by Willie Nelson)
The man with the beard brought out his pistol to threaten his hostages again so they wouldn't think about trying anything heroic along the road. The gun prance in his shaky fingers, keeping Kouji and Kouchi in discomfort, afraid that he might accidentally shoot them.
Time passed by for what seemed like hours until they noticed the climate changing fmro the usual urban and lively city to a country side desert.
"Where are you guys taking us?"
The bearded man was at his wits end. He was just about ready to shoot them for being stubborn and asking the same questions. Suddenly his eyes widened with a better idea in mind.
His head tilted closer to his comrade who was driving.
"You know, Brock, I was thinking. Why don't we just take them as our own and hold them as hostage, then sell them to the highest bidder," he whispered, "We don't have to baby sit for nobody."
"I don't know, Melv. The boss wont be too happy about that." The driver said in a deep and dopey voice.
"Scrooge! Forget the boss. We're freelancers. We do business when evah, with whom evah the hell we wahnt, and I say we play fah keeps, eh."
Kouji and Kouichi eavesdropped on the conversation and got a morsel of information. They knew who their kidnappers were and what they had in mind concerning their existence. It was now or never that they try to… escape.

"Paper, Rock, Scissors, Shoot!" Both JP and Tommy were playing a game of paper rock scisors to while away more time.
"Paper beats rock!" Tommy shouted, shoving it in JP's face.
"Not in real life." JP retorted. He did have a point. He never understood the logic behind the game.
"Man when are they going to get here?" he moaned with frustration.

Back at the station, the police had arrived and surrounded the area with caution tape as if a murder had taken place. Witnesses to the incident were giving their side of the story to what happened during the kidnapping. The Police in black coats and their golden seals went around patrolling the area for any clues as to what the men motives were.
Takuya and Zoe rushed around the corner near the entrance, only to run into one of the detectives that were working.
"Oops sorry!" they both said.
"No problem, just watch where you going next time." The prestigious man said. He stood a good 6'3" and had glass that framed his dashing blue eyes. His elegant blond hair sat on his head with pride and grace as it flowed in the unforeseen wind.
Zoe nearly melted as she was taken off her feet by his looks. Takuya noticed and tried to ignore her since he had few important questions to ask.
"Um do you know what happened here, sir?"
The officer turned around slowly to look at them again. Zoe's heart was racing a hundred miles a minute.
"We had a call saying that some teenagers were kidnapped."
"What were their descriptions?" Zoe asked, intrigued.
The cop gave them a perplexed look before he asked them if they knew the victims.
"Why? Do you know them."
"It might be our friends, Kouji and Kouichi." Takuya answered.
The officer took a few notes, "I see, and do you have any idea why they would be kidnapped?"
Takuya and Zoe glanced at each other with overwhelmed looks, before they looked at the officer and answered.
"Well, they are a bit moody sometimes, especially Kouji." Takuya said.
"Yeah, but Kouichi is an angel compared to him." Zoe added. She batted her eyes a little.
"I see…" the officer wrote some more notes. "Well, I'm going to be on this case until I make sure your friends are found and that we arrest who ever kidnapped them!" He said in exuberant and charismatic voice. Zoe was still giving him goo-goo eyes.
"Here's my card," he handed the a card with contact information to Takuya, but Zoe snatched it out of Takuya's grasp, and gently placed it in between her shirt.
The detective gave her a deranged look then directed his attention at Takuya.
"Um, call-me-if you hear from you friends or if anything new happens, OK?"
"Yes Mr... "
"Detective Peterson. Jones Peterson." He emphasized the first name.
"Alright… detectiiiive." Zoe winked at the man with a flirty look. She was embarrassing the grown man. He was speechless.
Takuya quickly grabbed Zoe by the arm and yanked her away. "Bye Detective Peterson."
"Zoe! Get a hold of yourself.!" Takuya whispered once they were out of the officer's sight.
"What? I can't help it. He's such a hottie." Her eyes went dreamy.
Takuya eyes were twitching either because he was annoyed or just plain jealous.
"C'mon already!" he waived his hand for her to follow, "We have to go catch up with JP and Tommy!"
To Be Continued...
A/N: I bet you get tired of those "to be continueds". Well there it is the second chapter. I still felt rusty writing this. I tried to make this sound as believable as possible so I hoped you enjoyed it so far. I have to tell you writing stuff like this is no walk in the park. You seriously have to think ahead before you write. Basically when ever I write I have the beginning and the end already in place. I just have to figure whats going to happen in-between. I really need to catch up fanfiction...
