A/N Hello, my lovely readers! :) Be in awe, I have returned with an update on the actual day which I said I would update on, who is shocked?

Thanks to all Reviewers!

Dedication: to Misutii Hi No De for her lovely review! :)

Disclaimer: I only own the plot.

The van drove through a large iron gate which opened at its approach and closed once the vehicle was clear of it. The van made its way to the end of a long drive to pull up in front of a large mansion which was shielded from view by virtue of being a few hundred feet back from the road, as well as fenced in, and obscured from view by the many trees that grew on the property.

Frank and Charlie were escorted from the vehicle and into the house. Their two captors remained with them, while the car's driver went off, presumably to inform whoever was in charge of their arrival. The cousins were led up two flights of stairs, and down a hallway lined with identical metal doors, all of which were locked from the outside.

The first door they passed on the left bore a nameplate saying "J. Malone, Art." The one across the hall proclaimed, "A. Harrington, Linguistics." As they made their way down the hall they passed the rooms of: "J. Fanfold, Chess," "E. Vander, Computers," "K. Weston, Music," and "B. Nemi, Strategist." They paused outside two rooms, the one on the left bore the description, "F. Hardy, Literature," while the one across the hall read, "C. Eppes, Mathematics."

"This is where you will be staying." The taller of their two kidnappers informed Frank, holding the door open for the detective and gesturing for him to go inside, which he did seeing as he didn't see much else in the way of options. He exchanged a quick goodbye with his cousin before walking into the room. The door was promptly shut behind him.

Charlie was similarly hastened into the room across the hall, the door was swiftly shut behind him, and presumably locked as well, although he did not bother to test it.

-Story Break-

Meanwhile, at the FBI offices, Don Eppes could best be described as annoyed and vaguely worried. He had attempted to phone his brother several times only to have the phone go straight to voicemail, which was not so strange in and of itself as Charlie often forgot to charge the device. What was strange however was that his attempt to call Frank's cell phone had similarly gone straight to voicemail, and when he attempted to call Joe the Phone merely continued to ring without answer several times before cutting to voicemail. After trying all three phones several times he decided just to head over to Cal Sci and find out what the hell was going on.

Which is how he found himself a short while later outside the locked door to his brother's darkened office. He tried Joe's cell phone again as it was the only one that had been on to be greeted by the sound of his cousin's ring tone resounding from the closed office door.

He was now really starting to worry, and he headed down the hallway to Larry's office locating the other professor and asking him for a key to Charlie's office. Don often wondered at the fact that Charlie chose to keep his spare key with Larry, as the other professor could hardly be called organized. Although, he was at least better than Charlie, although that wasn't really saying much.

Larry surrendered the key into Don's custody after expressing his concern for his friend's welfare, and requesting that Don report back to him once he knew what was going on. Don agreed and took off down the hallway toward his brother's office. Upon entering the office and turning on the lights he was greeted by a pained groan sounding somewhere from behind his brother's desk.

Don pulled out his gun and cautiously made his way over to the area in question. Upon reaching it, he spotted his cousin passed out on the floor and dropped to his knees beside him. He noted with relief that Joe was breathing and pulled out his phone calling for an ambulance as well as back-up.

"Joe?" Don questioned tapping his cousin lightly on the cheek in an attempt to wake him up.

-Story Break-

Frank was currently left with nothing to do at the moment besides explore the room had been left in. It was windowless with white walls. A twin bed rested against the far right wall, and a door next to the bed opened into a small bathroom. The entire front portion of the room was taken up with floor to ceiling bookshelves, which were filled with books varied from Ancient Greek plays to Harry Potter. The left wall sported a closet, which was filled with clothes in his size, which Frank found extremely creepy. A desk rested against the back wall, and when Frank opened it he found that it was well stocked with paper and other supplies.

Evidently, whoever had kidnapped him anticipated that he would be staying for quite awhile. Frank sat down at the desk and drummed his finger's against the desktop lightly in thought, one benefit of his current situation is that he could now confirm that all of the geniuses had been kidnapped by the same person or persons, also he had discovered via the nameplates that they had acquired another 'guest' by the name of B. Nemi, in addition to Charlie and himself. The downside of this new information was that it was pretty much a moot point as he had no way of informing the FBI about it, and if he did then he wouldn't currently be kidnapped.

He was also extremely worried about his brother and he only hoped that he had been found by now, and was not badly injured by the combination of the head injury and the drug he had been injected with. Frank would just have to bide his time and wait for news.

-Story Break-

Don's team along with paramedics and a crime scene unit had arrived on the scene shortly after he called, Joe was currently being loaded into the ambulance while Don related what had happened to Megan, Colby and David.

"I am going to go with Joe to the hospital. I want you to call me as soon as you find out anything." Don informed his team. "Hopefully Joe will know what happened to Frank and Charlie." He flinched slightly as he said this and it was clear to everyone that he was extremely worried about his little brother and cousins.

"Of course." Megan agreed. "We'll call as soon as we know anything." She repeated. Don smiled briefly at them in thanks before getting into the ambulance with his cousin.

"This day just keeps getting better, doesn't it?" Colby murmured sarcastically as they set about canvasing Charlie's office for clues.

After a few minutes of search, Colby let out a cry of triumph. "I found something!"

-Story Break-

Across the hall from his cousin Charlie was also exploring his new accomodations. The room was similar in layout to Frank's room. A bed rested against the right hand wall, and a door also led to a bathroom. The room sported white walls and was similarly windowless. He also had a desk and closet stocked with clothes in his seize.

Unlike Frank's room, which had been stocked with books of all sorts, the entire front wall was a floor to ceiling chalkboard. He found his desk to be well-stocked with boxes of chalk as well. He had also been supplied with an ipod well stocked with the music he usually listened to while he worked. This was beginning to grow a little bit creepy.

It was rapidly becoming clear to the genius that whoever was holding him hostage did not plan on letting him leave anytime soon.

He collapsed onto the bed and threw an arm over his face. He really should have listened to Don.

A/N I don't envy Don having to inform everyone that Charlie and Frank have disappeared. I especially don't envy Fenton the task of informing Callie that he has managed to lose her husband...in like a day...oh, and Laura, Laura will not be at all happy about this. :P

Review! Update next Saturday.
