'She'll be alrigh'. She'll be alrigh'. She'll be alrigh'.'

This was the mantra I was runnin through my head as we made our way down the darkened streets.

I was... worried about her... no denyin' it. But Don was right, as always... she deserved teh know whateveh she could find.

My only hope was that this... "Lyonell Brutanskii" guy was a good guy.

Or at least a smart one.

"We there yet?" Mikey asked for the fifth time.

Don's eye twitched, "No, Michaelangelo, we are not there yet. Be patient will you?"

Leo snorted, "Watch out Mikey, Donnie's getting mad. You'll be in for it if he gets madder."

"Pissed is more like it, eh Sarah?" Casey nudged her a little.

She chuckled and nodded, "I'd hate to see him that way, for sure."

I smirked a bit, seein' her smile did that teh me.

"Turn right up here Donnie," she piped, "It'll be the second building on your left, m'kay?"

He nodded and turned, then turned again inteh a side-alley, and we came teh a stop.

I let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding, "You ready?"

She turned teh me and smiled sheepishly, "I gotta be."

We got out an went up the fire escape. Afteh a few floors, maybe four or five, Sarah stopped.

"It should be this one... right here." she said quietly.

Donnie krept forward and stole a glance usin' his night vision goggles.

He shook his head, "I don't see anyone."

Sarah sighed, "Well there's no use in leaving. Let's just take this as a good sign."

She grabbed a screwdriver from Donnie's pack and Mikey whispered, "What's that for, a loose bolt?"

Rolling her eyes, she wedged the screwdriver between the window an the sil an popped the window open.

I gave her a smirk, "Where'd you learn teh do that?"

"My brother would use this as a way to get to the roof at night. Even after a whole day of playing his guitar, he'd still go up there to play at night. I was the one who would open the window back up in case dad closed it." she replied.

She shrugged and went in, murmuring, "Good times."

Afteh goin in and settin our stuff down, I looked around. It appeared to've been a pretty nice place, but someone had set up a bunch of computers and radars and stuff. Not recently, I noticed. Extension cords and wires ran all oveh the floor and Mikey tripped on several of 'em.

"Nice diggs," Casey scowled, "Did it always look this way, or is this somethin new?"

She frowned and shook her head, "The layout of the rooms are the same, but it's as if everything else has totally changed. Where'd it all go?"

I walked oveh an took her hand in mine, "Hey. It'll be okay. We'll find somethin. I know we will."

She looked at me and tried teh smile.

God, I hope we would find somethin.

Outta the corner of my eye I noticed somethin. A... picture.

I walked oveh teh get a better look.

There were five people in it. Two boys, who looked exactly the same except for their hair. They had different color hair. One obviously dyed so as not teh look like the otheh. One a dark brown, one a bright, brilliant blonde.

Jacob and Albert.

They were twins, that's who they were. The thought just jumped out at me and I knew. I knew that was them.

There were also two older boys, both much taller. A boy with black and red-striped hair, probly dyed, and anotheh boy with dirty blonde hair and round glasses.

The boy with the black and red-striped hair was Xander.

Don't know how I knew that one eitheh, but the thought hit me, just like last time.

The otheh person must be a friend o' his... who knows?

And the last person...

My eyes widened... it had teh be Sarah! An there she was, long dark brown hair, brown eyes and a dazzlin smile.

So that's what she... was like... before it happened.

She seemed so much happier then. So much more... normal. Happy with her family for such a long time, then one day all of that, all of the people she'd once held dear...

...gone.

"Who're you?!" a voice behind me roared.

I whirled around an stared in disbelief as the very same guy from the picture shut the front door an walked tehwords us.

He was holdin a gun.
