Me: Oh! By the way, new character! Her name is Lily. She's actually from a real life book that I have, although it's not a fanfiction. It's completely my own. It's hilarious how all my stories always seem to connect with each other. Well, more like this is just the story that brings them all together lol

Bakura: Cool?

Ryou: Still please read & review!

Bakura: Silver still don't own nothin besides the plot

Yugi had been running for a half hour before he saw the lights of the city. He smiled, and then raced down the hill. He kept running until he got to a road. "I know exactly where I am! And I bet Alexa is at the hospital right now!" Yugi said quietly. He followed the street signs until he got to the hospital. The doors were locked, but the lights were still on. He pounded on the door, pleading that someone would walk by. Just as he thought he had ran out of luck, he saw Dr. Laveer. The Dr. Laveer. The very doctor who had tended to him back when Dartz had dropped him off. He must have finally accepted the offer! Dr. Laveer looked at Yugi strangely, and opened the door quickly. "Yugi? What in the name of the Lord are you doing here? Where's Atem? How on Earth did you escape? And my, you look horrible! Let's get you to Alexa." He said. The two rushed towards the stairs, for the elevators would be to slow. Yugi jumped two steps at a time at least, and slammed the door open. He followed Dr. Laveer until they reached a door to a patient's room. Yugi slammed the door open.

Alexa looked up hearing the door crash open. She saw who it was. "Yugi..? But how? Where's Atem?" She asked bewildered. Yugi quickly explained what had happened."Atem was always brave… Yugi, we must get to Atem before Dartz finds out that you are missing. We shall wait till the police get here though, it would be unwise to charge in without backup." She said glancing down. Yugi looked at the time. It was 4:30 in the morning. Had it really taken that much time to get here? It had taken him 2 hours to get here. He looked at Alexa sadly. "I'm afraid…. I'm afraid he is already awake. He always woke up at 4:30 to torture us and didn't let us rest till 2:30. I'm sorry, I ran as fast as I could, but it was so tiring and… and.. I kept tripping and falling and… Oh I've failed! Atem will be punished for helping me! It's all my fault!" Yugi cried. Alexa hugged him. "Yugi, it's not your fault. Atem is strong, I'm sure he will be okay. I'm sure of it." She said. She just hoped she sounded more confident than what she felt.

Atem hadn't been sleeping for long before he heard Dartz yelling and ranting. "Atem! Where'd that shrimp brother of yours go?!" He yelled. "I-I'm not sure. I've been asleep." Atem said. "Liar! I can see it in your eyes! You let him escape! Where is he going?!" Dartz screamed. Atem looked at him icily. "I will never tell you. I would never betray my brother!" He yelled. Dartz smacked his beer bottle over Atem's head and it cut his face. He fell to the ground, and was barely conscious. He had a terrible head ache. "That's it, I'm done with you. I'm moving, and you boy, are going to be sold. Now, you can see what your wretched brother went through. Except you are going to be in a worse state. I'm going to sell you cheap to one of the worst criminals. You thought I was bad, well you better think again." He muttered.

Dartz leaned down and picked up the biggest piece of bottle that was still in contact. "Sweet dreams Atem." He laughed cruelly. Atem was too slow. The bottle smashed into his head and he became unconscious. Dartz dragged him up the stairs, letting his body and head smash into the stairs. He threw him into the back of the van and got into the driver's seat. A half hour in Atem started regaining his consciousness. He blinked and regretted it. His eyes started burning as blood trickled down his face. He wiped it away from his eyes and opened them again. He tried to sit up, but found it impossible. His body was exhausted, and he was really sore. He continued to lay on the floor, and tried to stop the bleeding. He eventually just gave up and let his arm fall to the ground. Eventually the van came to a stop and a few minutes later Dartz angrily opened the door. He picked Atem up by his arm and dragged him out. Dartz hadn't given Atem a new shirt since he had ripped it apart with his knife, and now the cold hit him hard. Dartz dragged him inside. It was a club, not the same place as Yugi had described to him.

Girls kept swooning over him, and Atem hated it. Dartz could tell. "Hmm, I'm sure that you girls could play with him for a little while. I mean, me and my friend do have business to discuss. Have fun girls." Dartz said with a wave of his hand. One of the girls grabbed him, but the other one was hanging back a little. "Lilly, what are you doing? Come on already." The first girl grabbed Lilly's wrist and pulled her forward. "Oh, right. I forgot. You like your privacy." She rolled her eyes. She shoved the two into a nearby bathroom. "Don't take too long! I want a turn with him." She said eagerly. She closed the door behind them and left. Lilly turned around and locked the door. She sat down, and motioned for Atem to sit down next to her. "I'm not gonna bite. I just want to help you. But we are going to be a while, so I suggest you sit down." She said quietly. Atem sighed sitting down. He was nervous she would try something, and he felt wrong about it. She leaned close to his ear and whispered "I'm not like those girls. I'm a detective." She pulled back and pulled out a badge. Atem's eyes widened and he almost said something.

"But you have to be quiet about it. You see, this place get's a lot of people just like you. A year ago, my husband Lucas was in the same situation. Dragged here against his will, although he wasn't going to be sold. His captor, Smoky, only brought him here because he wanted to get Lucas drunk and make him miserable. Since then, I've been coming back here arresting criminals. Although it's not actually me, because then my cover would be blown. Speaking of which, I should probably make a report so that the bureau can come get you and bust this guy." Lilly finished. Atem had a terrible realization. If Dartz got himself back out of prison, he would for surely kill Atem this time. As well as Yugi. "No, you can't! Dartz is dangerous, he got out once and he probably will again. He knows where we live! Even if he didn't, he can probably track us down knowing him. He might kill me, or worse, he might kill my brother. Please, don't do this. I don't care if I ever get out of this, but I want to do whatever I can to keep my brother safe. If Dartz thinks he isn't going to get in trouble, he will leave my family alone." Atem said.
