Heckyl slipped a tiny bowl of soup through the bars of her cell then took away the bowl he had previously given her. It was full, but the soup was cold and he thought she would appreciate something warm. From the back of the cell, Kendall eyed him furiously. She refused to get up. She refused to eat despite her obvious hunger and the lack of strength it was leading to. It made him smile how she thought she could wait this out. How she thought she could expect help.

"Your parents are worried," he said, drawing out a low growl from her as he revealed he not only knew who they were, but how to find them and he knew what they were feeling. He was obviously getting too close to them for her liking and there was nothing she could do about it. It frustrated her, which Heckyl enjoyed. "The little one: Cammy, she won't stop crying, you know."

He thought mentioning her sister would get her going. It usually did. A couple of times, Kendall had spilled her soup trying to get him for mentioning Cammy. This time, she could barely move, too weak to do anything more than wish she could hurt him.

"As for the others," he continued. "I told you, if they loved you, they would have stayed."

"Take that back," she growled.

"You're gone, and they don't seem to care one bit," he said. "It's been a week, Kendall. You're smart. Figure it out."

"I doubt I'm very easy to find."

"To people who cared, you would be," Heckyl chuckled and then held up her energem. "Aren't these easy to track? With all that technology you have in the lab, someone should be able to figure something out, right?"

"Give that back!"

"Come and take it," he said, placing the energem down inside her cell. Kendall tried to push herself up but couldn't do it. As soon as she tried to put any weight on her legs she fell over. Heckyl watched, a sick smirk on his face, before he opened the cell door. He left the energem where it was, but picked up the bowl of soup. He set it down before her, then helped her to sit up. He placed himself behind her, putting his arms around her as he picked up the soup and began to feed her.

"You're no good to me dead," he said. Kendall refused the first bite, but his hand glowed and suddenly she couldn't control herself anymore. She ate as much as he fed her, though the food made her stomach turn. When he was done feeding her, he reached into his pocket and took out the charger he had stolen from her lab.

"How do I finish this?" he asked. Kendall didn't answer him so his hand glowed again.

"I don't know," she answered and felt his muscles clench.

"What do you mean?"

"It's a work in progress," she said. "I was figuring it out as I went. I didn't think anyone would need it so soon."

"Tell me how to finish it!" Heckyl growled. Kendall shook her head.

"I can't."

He pushed her forward, into the cold concrete ground before getting up. He took the energem then slammed the door to her cell shut before turning to face her.

"You will spend an eternity here," he told her. "So the sooner you give me exactly what I need..."

"I can't tell you anything I don't know," Kendall reminded him, having already figured out that was exactly why he had chosen her over all the other Rangers. He knew about the energems so clearly he wanted them. Why would he bother wasting his time on anyone but the person who knew the most about them? He could make people do what he wanted, so why not get the person with the most power under his control. Kendall had access codes, she had the ability to build weapons and harness the power of the energems. She knew her teammates and all the secrets the Rangers had. And anything she didn't know, she could find out.

But though Heckyl's powers seemed limitless, there was only so far they could take him. It didn't matter how much he controlled her, how long he kept her alive or what he did to her: if she didn't know the answer to his question, she couldn't give him what he wanted.

"If you think you've been in here a while, think again," he growled, turning to leave. "Your hell has only just begun."

-Dino-Charge-

Koda didn't know how to tell time. He went to work when he was told, and he punched out when someone said he was done. However, he knew the more time he spent doing something, the more time passed.

He also knew Kendall leaving around lunch time and not coming home, despite it being well into the night, was worrisome. Even Ivan, who had managed to keep calm for most of the day was pacing the room, hoping that at any second Kendall would walk through the door and like a worried parent, he could question her on her whereabouts.

It had only been half a day, and the boys were driving themselves crazy with worry.

"We call others?" Koda asked. Ivan shook his head.

"For what purpose?" he asked. "Lady Kendall is a big girl. She is just... a little late."

"Kendall is never late," Koda shook his head. "Bad things happen when she is."

"We could check with the boyfriend," Ivan suggested and Koda nodded his head. Together, they left Kendall's apartment and walked down the hall. They knocked on Heckyl's door. He opened soon after.

"Is this the big brother talk?" he asked. "I assure you both, my intentions with your boss and roommate are noble."

"Where is Kendall?" Koda asked, peeking into the room and getting a sniff. He could smell her. She seemed so close.

"I don't know," Heckyl frowned. "The gig ended. I had some fans ask for my autograph, but she said she had to get back to work. You mean she never made it back?"

Heckyl seemed worried, which frustrated and relieved Koda at the same time. If Heckyl was worried, then he hadn't done anything to hurt Kendall. But if he didn't know where she was, then something had happened to her.

Then Koda sniffed the air again while Ivan questioned him. He could smell Kendall on Heckyl and since they were dating that was no surprise. However, the smell was too strong to be lingering from lunch. They had just been together. Koda's gut told him so, and his gut was never wrong.

"Where Kendall?" he asked again, despite Heckyl insisting to Ivan he hadn't seen her in hours.

"Questioning me about it won't get you anywhere. Look, I know you're not exactly from around here but when someone goes missing, you call the police."

Koda growled, grabbed Heckyl by the shirt and lifted him off the ground. He carried him to the nearest wall and slammed him in.

"You see Kendall last. Where is she?" he demanded. When Heckyl tried to shrug, Koda threw him across the room. Heckyl landed on his coffee table, smashing thought the glass and cutting his arms and face.

"Let us leave," Ivan said, grabbing Koda before he could do anymore harm and then whispering a word of apology to Heckyl. He pulled Koda down the hall, passing Kendall's apartment.

"Where we go?" Koda asked.

"The lab," Ivan suggested. "There's got to be something there that'll tell us where she is."

"Heckyl know," Koda insisted but Ivan continued to pull him along.

-Dino-charge-

Kendall wasn't sure how long it had been since she had last seen Heckyl. A day, two? Maybe even more. She had been alone in the cell a long time. So much so, she actually found herself longing for his company.

Until he returned and disgust washed over her. But as he stepped closer, she saw something on his face that made her smile. It seemed he had been involved in a confrontation, and since he had proven he could be powerful, there was only one person she knew who could overpower him.

"Koda..."

"This?" he pointed to his face at the cuts he suffered from being thrown by the caveman into his coffee table. "You think this has anything to do with your friends? I'm the boyfriend of a missing person. I'm supposed to be upset."

"So you did this to yourself?"

"I'll admit, a bar fight got a little out of hand," Heckyl said. "I don't want everyone to see my cards so soon."

Kendall knew he was lying, though she was nothing she could do about it. She just nodded her head, before she felt him getting access. She saw his hands were blue and sighed.

"I don't know how to finish the charger. You'd have to let me work on it on my own."

"Useless," he answered her as he turned to walk away. Suddenly he stopped. "What if Cammy..."

"Don't touch her."

"You tell me exactly what I need to know, and I won't," Heckyl threatened.

"I told you, I don't know!" Kendall shouted, trying to find the energy to get to her feet but she was too weak.

"Then she dies," Heckyl said and walked away. Kendall didn't see him again for days.
