A/N Sorry about the lateness everyone. I'm currently in Florida on vacation which has delayed my updating. I will do my very best to get up to date however.

Thanks to all Reviewers!

Dedication: To Misutii Hi No De for her lovely review. Sorry to have kept you in suspense. ;)

Disclaimer: I own the plot nothing else.

Joe had been wheeled away on a gurney almost half an hour ago, leaving Don in the waiting room to contact Fenton and Alan and inform enlighten them as to the current state of affairs, something that Don was not at all looking forward to. He called his uncle first largely because he knew the information would soon be hitting the FBI offices if it hadn't already and he didn't want his uncle to find out via a third party.

"Uncle Fenton?" Don asked when he heard his uncle's familiar voice on the line.

"What is it, Don?" Fenton asked immediatly picking up on the note of anxiety in his nephew's voice.

"I'm at the hospital, Charlie and Frank have been abducted most likely by whoever kidnapped the other missing geniuses, and Joe was injured when they were taken, it didn't seem that bad though." Don hastened to reassure his uncle. "He has a slight head injury, but I'm sure he'll be fine. He's in with the doctor now." Don finished.

"I'll be right there." Fenton's voice was mostly calm but there was a slight quaver to it that betrayed his worry.

"Okay. Bye." Don hung up the phone and braced himself for the upcoming conversation with his father.

Alan Eppes did not answer the phone, instead Don was greeted with the answering machine. "Dad, it's Don, something's happened, call me as soon as you get this message, okay? It's very important." With that Don disconnected the line. He hadn't wanted to leave the news of Charlie and Frank's abduction on the answering machine nor Joe's injuries. Hopefully, his father would cget back to him soon.

-Story Break-

Frank had been lying on the bed of his room lost in thought wondering what the odds were they were going to be able to escape, as well as what exactly it was that their captor hoped to achieve. His thought process was interrupted when a voice sounded from the intercom system located near the door. He would guess that each room probably had one.

"Attention, dinner will be served at exactly half-past six o'clock this evening, you are all expected to dress formally for the occasion, after the meal you will recieve your assignments. That is all."

The voice was gone as suddenly as it had arrived and Frank was left starring incredulously at the intercom. Exactly where was he, and what was the assignment he was expected to complete? He glanced at the clock and found that it was already six o'clock. He contemplated ignoring the order to dress formally, and decided against it, figuring that it was better to go along with whatever instructions he was given for the time being while he attempted to figure out what exactly was going on.

He made his way over to the closet and scanned through the contents in search of appropriate articles of clothing.

-Story Break-

"Family of Joseph Hardy?"

Don looked up to find a male doctor in his late thirties glancing around the waiting room in search of Joe's relatives. Fenton had yet to arrive, so Don was still alone.

"Over here." Don said standing up and shaking the doctor's hand. "Is Joe going to be alright?" Don asked.

"Joe has sustained a blow to the head. The doctor began. "He has a mild concussion, but he should be fine. He will be waking up soon, you can go sit with him." The doctor, whose name Don had found out was Dr. Watkins, concluded. "He's in room 303."

"Thank you." Don replied distractedly already heading toward the elevators to seek out his cousin. Joe was awake when Don entered the room, although he seemed to be confused as to what had happened.

"Don? What's going on?" Joe asked anxiously upon spotting his cousin.

"What's the last thing you remember?" Don asked as he walked over to his cousin's bedside.

"I was researching in Charlie's office, Frank was talking about how unorganized it was, and then Charlie was talking about how human behavior can be predicted and that's the last thign I remember." Joe replied. Are they okay? Is Frank okay?" He asked worriedly.

"You don't remember what happened?" Don asked for confirmation purposes. He felt like punching something, or someone, preferably whoever had kidnapped Charlie and Frank.

"No, now tell me what's going on, Don." Joe replied.

"You were knocked out when I got to Charlie's office, Frank and Charlie were both missing. I think they were abducted." Don replied.

"Son of a bitch." Joe exclaimed fisting the blankets angrily.

-Story Break-

"Eppes." Don's terse voice sounded through the cell phone.

"Don, we've found something." Megan informed her boss.

"What is it?" The SAC demanded of his team member. They hadn't caught many breaks so far, and with Joe unable to remember what happened they would need all the help they could get.

"It seems that Joe recorded the events in the office." Megan announced triumphantly. "Colby found his cell phone propped up on Charlie's desk." She explained.

"We have actual video confirmation of what happened?" Don asked for clarifying purposes.

"Yes," Megan confirmed. "Two men entered the office, Charlie was working at a black board, while Frank and Joe were seated at his desk, the quality isn't the best but the tech guys say they can clean it up, they knocked Joe over the head with a gun, and then they inject him with something apparently to cause memory loss,"

"Yeah, Joe is awake and he can't remember anything that happened." Don interjected.

"Charlie and Frank were escorted out of the office at gunpoint, but otherwise unharmed at the time of their abduction." Megan continued. "We're in the process of pulling Cal Sci security footage for further information on what happened after they left Charlie's office."

"Good work." Don replied as his cell phone beeped indicating that he had another call, he glanced at it and found it to be his father. This was a conversation he was not looking forward to.

"Donnie?" Alan's voice sounded anxiously through the phone.

"I have some bad news, Dad."

"What happened?" His father demanded sensing that whatever it was was very serious.

"Charlie and Frank were kidnapped, we think by the same people who took the other missing geniuses. Joe was injured in the ensuing conflict, we're at the hospital now, but he's fine." Don replied after a pause as he contemplated how to phrase it, and decided that just coming out and saying it was the best option.

"Do you have any leads yet?" Alan asked.

"We've made some progress, and we can confirm that Frank and Charlie were uninjured when they left Cal Sci." Don reassured his father.

"I'll be right there." Alan said in answer before ending the call.

A/N Major revelations in the next chapter. We're going to find out more about the guy who has Frank and Charlie. ;)
