Hey guys! I'm sorry this chapter's a bit late, I was really busy this week and then I had sports day so I slept for most of the next day. Anyway, thank you to everyone who's reviewed me so far. So on with chapter 8, I think.

Fabia's POV

It had been a couple of days since Dan had been kidnapped and so far we had lied to the school, both his parents and his other school friends about what happened. I felt bad about it but it had to be done, we couldn't have anyone ring the police and put Dan's life in more danger. Me and Ren sat on the roof of the school looking for our regular school postman while Runo and Alice hid in the secretary's office. We knew that sooner or later, a letter would come to the school demanding money in exchange for Dan, but if the head teacher found it, he would either ring the police or pay up. Both potential situations couldn't determine Dan's safety, so we planned to get him out ourselves.

I suddenly spotted the postman and went to warn Ren but he beat me to it. He crept behind him, put a hand on his shoulder just below his neck and squeezed. He fell to the ground, unconscious and Ren started to look through his bag. I jumped down after him and helped him look for the letter. A few minutes later, we found it. It was disguised as a birthday card and was attached to a small package.

Runo's POV

We all met up at HQ after school to look at the letter that Fabia and Ren found. Inside the package was a camera full of pictures of an unconscious Dan. I nearly laughed at how cliché the letter was. Each letter had been cut out from newspapers or magazines and it said 'If you ever want to see your friend again, give us £2000 to this address' and underneath it had an address of a warehouse.

"We're not gonna pay up, are we?" Chan-lee asked the group.

"No. one, we can't guarantee they'll keep their end of the deal and two, it'll be like surrendering to everything we fight against." Fabia replied.

"So, what's the plan?" Joe asked.

"First, Alice and I will go to the warehouse to see if Dan is there and we'll disable their security. When we've done that, we'll call you guys over." I explained and everyone agreed.

Alice and I made our way to the motorbikes and we rode off to the warehouse. Just as I thought, it looked like a creepy old haunted house. It was a quite simple building; it was very easy to find back doors and hidden rooms. We searched the outside of the warehouse first and shot any security cameras. Alice found a back door and we heard Dan almost immediately. He was definitely pissing his kidnappers off.

We were about to step through the back door but I pulled Alice back when I spotted a tripwire on the floor. I looked up and saw that it connected to an alarm.

"Thanks" She said and I gave her an appreciative smile.

I put a silencer on my gun and shot some more cameras, while Alice caught them before they fell to the ground.

We searched the rest of the building trying to find other security cameras while avoiding the kidnappers. I thought there'd only be a couple of them but there were at least 12 dotted around the place.

Alice pulled out her phone and called our HQ. "Coast is clear." She said and hung up. Everyone turned up a couple of minutes later.

"I don't recall inviting anyone over for tea." Someone said behind us. I turned around and saw about six men with their huge leader standing in front of them. He looked like one of those landowners from those Wild West movies. I looked back at Alice and she nodded knowing exactly what I wanted her to do. She ran to the left while I ran to the right.

"Don't just stand there, get them!" The leader bellowed and I suddenly had three huge men chasing me. I hid behind a corner and climbed up to a bunch of wooden planks on the ceiling.

"She's disappeared." The men said scratching their heads as they stood right beneath me. I held my breath until they finally left. I looked to my left and in the far distance I could see a bit of ginger hair hanging from the ceiling and I sighed in relief that Alice had done the same thing and hadn't got caught.

After a few minutes, the men had gone to look for us outside, so I jumped down from the ceiling and rejoined the group, who had obviously taken down the boss.

Alice's POV

It would take about five minutes for the men to figure out that we tricked them and we weren't outside, it depended on how smart they were. We raced towards Dan and Runo untied him. He jumped up and pulled her into a kiss.

"You can make out in your own time, we need to get out of here." Shun said with his arms crossed.

"I'm afraid you're not going anywhere."

Runo exasperated, obviously aggravated, and we turned around to see the men but there were more of them this time. She ran towards one of them and scissor-kicked him in the face. Chan-lee smiled and joined the fight using her martial art techniques. Soon everyone joined in and then men were eventually sprawled across the floor, each of them unconscious. Suddenly, a man with a gun aimed at Runo. Dan saw this and immediately dived at him. He tried to get the gun out of his hands but the man was way too strong.

BANG!

Everything went silent for what felt like forever. The man dropped the gun and ran away, while Dan staggered back, nearly falling over. Runo held him up and scanned his chest and stomach for blood or a gunshot wound, but she couldn't find one. The sound of police sirens could be heard in the distance and that's when Shun collapsed.

See ya soon guys! Please review!
