"Where in the motherfuck am I?" Gamzee muttered.
"Found yeh loungin 'round on the ground, couldn't just leave yeh therr" the mysterious males voice said.
All that had happened last night flooded back. His blush returning at the thought of Nep, then the strangers last night. He remembered the fight between a female troll, then turning around to complete blackness. That's where he couldn't remember anything else. "Where are we?" Gamzee almost mumbled.
"A lil treehouse I done built" he replied.
"Mind if I asked a motherfuckers name?"
"Course not! The name's Kiligan Joules. KJ fer short."
KJ held out a hand to Gamzee. He smiled and shook the human's hand. Human.. "Waitta motherfucking minute, why'd you put me up in here?"
"So ye wouldn't freeze n' shit."
"I mean - I'm a troll. You're a human. Usually humans aren't all nicey nice to us motherfuckers."
KJ grinned at the troll. "Race don't matter to me partner. We're all livin beings."
Gamzee gave a warm smile to the human. "Great to know" he said getting up.
The human stood up, and Gamzee saw he was a bit tall. KJ's forehead was at Gamzee's eyes. He wore night blue shorts that went below his knees, a no-sleeved sky blue shirt, had medium length blonde hair that curled slightly, and wore a backwards royal blue cap. Gamzee looked around the area. "What's up with this place anyways?"
"Lil treehouse I put together not too long ago."
"What for?"
"Searchin."
"For?"
KJ gave a sly smile. "You seem trustworthy. So ah'll tell ya. Go ahead and sit back down." he gestured towards the mattress.
Gamzee took a seat and KJ pulled up a nearby chair, setting it backwards, sitting in it, resting his arms on the top of it. "I built it cause ah heard that members of a certain organization have been spotted 'round 'ere. I'm looking for one o' them so I can get info outta 'em."
"What kinda info?"
"Their hideout's whereabouts."
Gamzee sat and thought for a moment. "This organization. Does it involve murdering motherfuckers?"
KJ nodded. "Yeap. I've learned they usually go after groups of people. Fer one reason most of the time, and its usually at long intervals, days apart, fer each member of the group they select. If they have more than one reason, they usually go after more at a time. Not many have more than one reason, though, so I'm unsure about that 'ole mess."
Gamzee thought on it for a second. Then it came to him that he and Nepeta had people sent after them in one day. "Then that means we have a couple motherfuckin reasons" he said.
KJ raised one eyebrow at the troll. "Yer in a group?"
"Yeah, about 15 of us, 3 human. I got attacked earlier in the afternoon, and my friend was going to get attacked but I saw them before they made a big move" Gamzee said, blushing slightly remembering the night before.
KJ nodded. "Unsettlin. So I'm guessing you were knocked out?"
Gamzee shrugged and explained all of the events last night, since he was a very trusting person. KJ listened intently, interested at the story. Gamzee told of his assailant last.
KJ sat there for a minute taking it all in. "Prolly wanna check on yer other friends. If they went after you n yer friend in one day, who says they didn't do nothin' durin dead night"
Gamzee thought on it for a second and agreed. "Are you gonna come with?" he asks.
KJ shook his head. "Nope, gotta check for more signs of them vermin. See if they left anything that'd give me a clue about them or their whereabouts."
Gamzee nodded. "Thanks for not lettin me sleep outside on the motherfuckin ground."
KJ smiled. "Anytime."
Gamzee jumped out of the window, bending his knees at the impact, and sprinted towards his hive. Not too long later he reached it. Pulling out his phone, he messaged Nepeta, Karkat, Terezi, Equius, Kanaya, Sollux, Aradia, Tavros, Vriska, Eridan and Feferi.

Gamzee gave a sigh of relief to everyone's wellbeing. He put his phone away and started walking to Karkats, after grabbing a root beer faygo from his nutrition block. He was almost there when he noticed something. He took out his phone and looked at the messaging log. No reply had been given from Tavbro.
He strided over to Karkats to see that everyone was already there. When he approached, he said "That was motherfuckin fast."
"Well, of course highblood, this is urgent, as you say, and I can't help thinking these sightings and attacks are not coincidence." Equius replied
"I've been thinking the thame thing GZ." Sollux commented.
"That's all motherfuckin well, but has anyone else noticed Tavbro didn't reply in the message stream?" Gamzee asked.
The whole group looked at him, except the humans, and it hit all of them. "Holy shit your fucking right" Karkat said after hastily pulling out his phone.
"Has anyone seen him, for that matter?" Kanaya asked.
Everyone shook there head. "Not for about two days" Vriska said.
Gamzee gulped, pulled out his phone and called Tavros.
The line rang a few times. "Hello?"
"Hey Tav-"
"Hehe, this is, uhm, Tavros and leave an, uhm, message after the beep." Beep
Gamzee shut the call and noticed that it had been rejected. He called again. It rang. This time, there was an answer. But this wasn't an answer he, or anyone else was expecting, since it was on loudspeaker. There was a scream. Then a cutting sound. And another scream. Gamzee dropped his phone and everyone went wide eyed, as they recognized the scream. It was Tavros's.
