The meeting ended with a final facepalm and dismissal from Germany. Arthur stood up and yawned into the back of his hand, silently cheering the meeting was done. He looked around half-way expecting London to pop out of nowhere and tackle him to the ground. He frowned when he realized she wasn't there, he looked at his phone to see if there were any messages from her or the police(that had happened once and he did not want that same message again) His frown deepened at the little blinking light that read no new messages.

"Hey, Iggy why the long face?" America asked bouncing his way over the elder nation.

"Oh, nothing. It's just London's not here and she hasn't called. I'm going to go look for her." Unnoticed to England America frowned at the statement. He began to worry for he had become fond of the girl even thought he had known her for two days. Most of which he hadn't even been in her presence. He quickly covered his frown with his usual smile,

"I'll come too! You'll need the help of the hero!"

"Ok, I'm sure she's fine though." America again frowned at Arthur's reaction, he hadn't even called America a 'Git' for being 'stupid' or 'self centered'.

"Let's go then! The hero will find her!" America exclaimed as he ran out the door, Arthur quickly followed behind, but not before he rolled his eyes at the younger's antics.

….

"You git there is no such thing as radioactive spiders, and you certainly cannot gain superhuman powers from them," England snapped at the younger.

"Sure ya' can, it happens all the time in the movies!" America laughed; he found the reddening face of England funnier and funnier by the minute. They had been walking around the building for over ten minutes and they still hadn't found London. They were now heading to one of the only restrooms in the building hoping she might be there.

As they rounded the corner Arthur froze, "Oh god….." Five feet in front of him were a pair of red-handled scissors lying on the floor next to an iphone with a Union Jack case. America turned around once he realized Arthur had stopped walking. His question quickly stopped in his throat when he saw Arthurs pale face. He quickly followed the line of his friend sight and saw the objects lying in the hall.

"Arthur…..are those-"

"I hope not." Arthur rushed over and picked them up. They were London's, no doubt about it. Arthur sat there starring at the objects in complete silence.

"Maybe she just dropped them," America said quietly for once not wanting to break the silence.

"She keeps them in her boots, they can't fall out." Arthur replied still looking at the objects in his hands.

"She keeps them in her boots." The younger stated in disbelief, "Where her feet are."

"Yeah, it's so she can get to them quickly." Arthur fell silent after this, America didn't say a thing, and both trying to think of any possibility's that London was ok. Suddenly the phone blared out Green Day's American Idiot. England smirked under his breath despite the situation. America looked at the phone with surprise, he totally forgot about that song. England didn't recognize the number, but he slid his finger across the phone, and then set the device to speaker.

"Hello?"

"I believe you are missing something important, da?" A childish voice sounded from the phone. England growled at the device,

"What did you do with her you bloody wanker!"

"Don't worry she is perfectly safe with me. She is such a feisty child, no? She put up quite a fight for Belarus; but it was just a minor problem. We caught her little friend too, such a shame he couldn't stay quiet." Arthur's eyes widened as he realized who else Russia had taken.

"Don't you lay a finger on them."

"She has such a pretty face, though I'm tempted to decorate it if you don't help me with something." Russia's voice grew serious as he said this, it sent chills into Arthur.

"What do you wa-"

"Wait, Arthur you're not seriously thinking of helping him, are you?" America's voice was loud and disbelieving.

"Would you like a minute da? I'll call back in three minutes." The line went silent before the screen closed and went to the list of recent calls. Arthur turned and faced America looking like a kicked puppy.

"How else can we get her back?"

….

Russia closed the phone and smiled at the girl in front of him. London sat there, not that she had much of a choice. She was tied up and had tape over her mouth, stopping her from calling out to her father. London glared at Russia, and if looks could kill he would be dead and down in the pits of hell.

"Looks like your daddy found your phone. Are you comfortable, da?" Russia smiled at the young girl. Again she struggled against her bonds, wishing with all her might that she had a blunt object to beat Russia to death with. Sealand who was tied in another chair whimpered a bit when he saw the purple glow surround Russia. Russia, no doubt guessing her thoughts, pulled out his pipe and 'Kol-ed'

"It's not polite to struggle, da?" Russia walked closer towards London; this just made her struggle more. As quick as a snake Russia brought the pipe down and hit her gut. A loud snap was heard as a rib or two broke, she doubled over and pain and tried to get as much air into her lungs. Russia cupped her face in one hand and with the other he ripped the tape off her mouth causing it to go red.

"Let's see if you can convince your father to become one with me."

….

"We could go and bust that commie!" America shouted at England.

"We don't know what he could do to her," Arthur stated calmly still looking down at the phone, "Lets at least see what he wants first." America thought about it, he nodded. They waited in silence for the phone to ring. After a minute the song blared out again, Arthur immediately answered it, again he put it on speaker.

"You have reconsidered da?" Russia's voice sounded through the speaker.

"We agreed to see what you want." Arthur said while glaring at the phone.

"I want you to become one with mother Russia." Arthur dropped the phone, it hit the bouncing twice. They could feel Russia smiling through the phone.

"No," America said turning to Arthur, he knew England would be considering it. He would probably do the same thing, "Don't even think about it."

"Funny Mr. America, but I believe this is between comrade England, his daughter, and I. Speaking of comrade Englands daughter, I believe she wants to say something."

….

Russia was holding the pipe over her head whispering the words for her to say. London had other plans, "Don't listen to this commie bastard." Russia jerked away the phone and quickly jerked the pipe down, opening up a wound in her head, and knocking her unconscious.

….

Arthur's face paled again and his grip on the phone he had previously dropped, loosened. Alfred rushed over and took the phone from him. Arthur just sat there frozen in place. London was being hurt and he could do absolutely nothing. He went numb he could barely hear America yelling at the phone. He sat there for a minute feeling his world go dark and cold. It had finally sunken in that London was really in the hands of a psychopath.

"Arthur!" England's attention was snapped back to reality.

"He hung up on me," America studied his friend with worry, "Are you ok?"

England looked up at America with dead eyes "I don't know."
