"What do you mean they took Happy?!" Toby paced back and forth in Happy's work space, he had been doing that since Adam uttered the words.

"They came through the door and took her." Toby was about to scream at Adam that it wasn't what he meant by the question but Walter solemnly patted Toby on the shoulder before joining Sly and Paige in the half circle they had formed around Adam.

"Before we do anything, we need to know everything." Walter's tone was a lot sharper and his patients was wavering. "Who are they? Why did they take Happy? Was she hurt in any way? what..."

"Wait, go back." Toby looked at Walter and was met with a confused look, he made his way to Adam. "He broke eye contact when you asked if Happy was hurt which means he feels guilty." He shot Adam daggers but the blonde never even looked at Toby to notice. "Happy was hurt." There was still no response and Toby was becoming more and more frustrated with Happy's so called friend. "How was she hurt?!" Toby as getting more and more emotional by the second, Sylvester and Paige tried to gain his attention as Walter watched on. He was just as annoyed and upset as Toby was, the only difference was that Toby was better at showing EQ than he was. "How?!"

"When they carried her out she was unconscious, she was bleeding slightly from her head, she must have banged it on something."

"That's not all otherwise you wouldn't be sweating and playing with your hands as much as you currently are! You're keeping something from us. Now what is it!?"

"She was shot!" Adam blurted it out and winced at the words. He saw the shocked and hurt expressions on each of the team members faces. Then he saw Toby's. Pure anger was painted along his features.

"You son of b..."

"Toby!" Paige shouted and caught his attention. "This isn't helping anyone, especially Happy and at the moment that's the person we need to be thinking of." She looked at each person but avoided Adam. "We call Cabe, right now."

"You know, this table is a lot better than the one I sit at. Oh and these seats, they're just so much more comfier." Adam sat down opposite Happy with his tray of disgusting cafeteria food. "Good choice"

"What are you doing?" She gave him a pointed look while poking her - what was it suppose to be? Mash potato's? - with her fork.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm eating my lunch."

"Yeah that I can see. But why are you eating it here and not with rest of the jocks?"

"If you must know, it's because I can't stand to see you eating alone every lunch time. It's very sad to watch and I can't eat when I'm sad." He stuck out his bottom lip for a effect.

"Well it looks like you're gonna' starve then." Happy stood up but as she turned around a tall, pouty lipped, make-up plastered, brunette Barbie was standing in front of her with a drink in hand. Happy was pretty sure she was one of Casey's friends which only meant trouble for Happy. "You mind moving out the way." The only response she received was a cruel twist of a smile accompanied by the fizzy contents of the girls cup being emptied over Happy making it rain.

"Just a little message from Casey." The girl went to walk away but Happy caught her arm, the girl winced at the tight white knuckle grip.

"Well I have a message for Casey." Adam was standing up, ready to jump in if things got too out of hand and the once busy cafeteria was now silent, everyone watching as the events was being played out. "Tell the 'princess' if she has a message then she can give it to me her self otherwise I'll start breaking her Barbie's, and if you are just too stupid to know what I mean by that then let me make it clearer." Happy let go of the girls arm, drew back her elbow and BAM. Punched the once flawless doll in the cheek. Happy wasn't a monster. She held back... A little. Some people wooped and hollered, others stayed quiet in fear of Casey and her entourage. Happy took no notice of Adam and briskly made her way to the girls toilets to try and clean herself off. It's a good job she wore her usual dark clothing again today.

"Wakey, wakey." Happy was sitting tied to a chair as two men in suits, one with short brown hair, the other bald, stood at the exit as another man, wearing an identical suit with his black hair spiked and misleadingly kind brown eyes stood in front of her holding a jug of water. When Happy didn't wake up he sighed and poured the water out over her head. She jolted up as soon as the freezing liquid hit her skin and was met by the searing pain in her shoulder, she cried out cursing under her breath. There was a chuckle in front of her, she hadn't realized that someone had been standing there, watching her. She glared at him through fallen strands of hair, shaking them out of her way she caught sight of her shoulder where the pain had erupted and saw the bullet hole. "Don't worry," She glanced up taking in the image of the spikey haired man who as looking down at her. "It's just a flesh wound. You're not gonna' die." He grinned at her. Without moving too much, as to not attract any unwanted attention, she tested the rope used to restrain her, but she didn't know that there were two men behind her standing in front of the only exit. The bald man coughed gaining the attention of the man with the kind eyes, they nodded to one another. "You can try to free yourself from the ropes but you might as well wait, you're only restrained until Eli comes talk to you and then you'll just be a guest, we even have a room set up for you. Trust me we don't want to hurt you, you're just the incentive to make sure that Adam returns Eli's money. That being said, if after you've been untied you still try to escape then we'll have to resort to more harsher methods to gain your compliance." He gave her a wide smile that was replied with a harsh laugh from the mechanical prodigy.

"You expect me to buy into that load of bull. Ha! I have to admit that would have been believable if it wasn't for the pain in my shoulder caused by the bullet I was SHOT WITH!"

"We wouldn't have had to shoot you if you hadn't fought back now would we."

"Oh, I'm sorry for defending myself. Next time just ask if you can kidnap me, I'm sure I know what I'll say." She continued to glare at him as his soft chuckling forced his shoulders to bounce ever so slightly.

"Dan, could you not taunt our guest" A medium built man (about the same build as Toby) man with light brown hair stepped through the doors, by the reactions of the man in front of her she assumed this new comer was Eli. Happy twisted in her seat to see him but was only able to once he stepped into her line of sight. He stopped, standing next to the man now known as Dan, watching Happy. He looked oddly familiar to the small mechanic. "And please lose the restraints, she is a guest after all."

"Yeah, a dangerous guest at that." She shot Dan a sweet smile gaining an amused grin back.

"True, but a guest nonetheless. So lose the restraints." Eli's voice on the his last sentence became harsh and more sharp. Dan made his way around Happy's chair, took out a small pocket knife and with one smooth motion she was free. She stood up and surveyed the hole room, Dan came by the side of her.

"I hope the chair wasn't too uncomfortable." The sentence was dripping with sarcasm.

"Oh no, it was fine." She tried her best to look as sweet as Paige. "In fact let me thank you." She shot out her clenched fist, connecting it with his nose allowing the kinetic energy to give her that extra bit of power. She heard the crunch that mingled with his yell forming an oddly soothing melody as the hum of satisfaction pulsated along her nerves leaving her fingers tingling. Blood started to pour out of Dan's nose as anger sparked inside his eyes. An animalistic growl sounded low is throat. He took a step closer.

"Enough Dan!" Eli watched Happy with a curious look. "Go get yourself cleaned up" he waved ant Dan, dismissing him with a wave of his hand never taking his eyes off Happy. "You haven't changed a bit have you? Well maybe, you've become slightly more tougher if that's even possible." He smiled at her. Happy turned to face him after watching Dan leave, she saw how he looked at her, she knew that she knew him. But from where? She couldn't focus, that bump on her head had jumbled her thoughts, her eidetic memory useless until the throbbing pain in her head disappears.

"I don't mean to be rude... Actually scratch that. Who the hell are you? and how the hell do you know me?!"

"That hurts Happy, I thought you were the girl who remembered pretty much everything." He smiled at her showing his pearly white teeth. "But I'm sure that bump on the back of your head has something to do with that though. No worries. I suppose it is time to catch up." He slipped off his dark brown leather jacket, revealing his muscles and left him standing in dark denim jeans matched with well polished black shoes, and a black V-neck shirt as he chucked his jacket on the chair Happy had not long vacated. "So... How've you been Happy?"
