IX: On the Way

Well this chapter was kinda hard to figure out. But I finished it. All right well, on with the show.

The group had returned with 700,000 dollars in their pockets. They were especially proud of Lynelle. If it wasn't for her Grant would've gotten away. And they would be chasing small fries that were like 70,000 or even less.

"We can eat a lot with this much cash." Train said.

"Don't even think about it Train." Sven replied.

"You have to lighten up Sven. You know I was just kidding."

"That's what you want me to think."

Lynelle was laughing at this. Their arguing always seemed so funny to her. Eve couldn't understand this. Why was she not able to get what was so funny?

"What's so funny about those two arguing?" Eve asked Lynelle.

Lynelle looked at Eve and said, "It's just the way they act when they fight, princess."

Eve still didn't get it. But she thought maybe when she's a little older she'll get it. They finally stopped fighting and went back to Annette's. They walked in and when they did they weren't expecting what they saw. A figure was standing over a beaten up Annette. They couldn't make this figure out. But before they knew it, he vanished. They soon realized they were down by one person.

"Where's Lynelle?!" Train yelled because he was worried.

"Maybe that figure took her." Eve suggested.

"I can't believe this. This is like the fourth time she's been kidnapped." Train said

"Their really determined to get her their side." Sven said.

"We should just wait here for her." Eve suggested.

"I'll wait at least 3 hours." Train said frustrated.

Lynelle was unconscious. She was being carried on the back of someone. They didn't seem like they were going to harm her.

"I got her. I will be there with her in no time." A voice said in the radio.

"Good. Just make sure you don't lose her." A voice came from the other end.

"I will."

Unbeknownst to him she was awake. She heard everything that he said. So she decided she was going to fake being unconscious.

Her and her captor finally got there. But where was there? She opened up an eye and saw a place very familiar to her. It was the Chronos headquarters. Lynelle hasn't been here for at least a month. She was kind of surprised to be back.

"I'm back." The voice said, "And I brought the girl with me."

"Very good. You did excellent on this assignment, Anubis." Sephiria said.

"Why did you need me to get her anyway?" He set her down. And as he said that he noticed her tattoo. It was that of the number XIII, "Never mind. I know the reason now."

"Well then, here's your next assignment."

"I'm on it."

Bending down to pick her up Sephiria whispered, "Welcome back."

Then Sephiria carried her to a cell where Lynelle was to stay. Lynelle was to stay there for 21 days because she broke 2 major rules in Chronos. One, never let a target go. And two, you are never to leave Chronos. So the 'unconscious' Lynelle was put in the cell.

She stopped faking as soon as she was put in the cell. She wasn't sure how she was going to get out but she knew she had to. Train, Sven, and Eve were waiting for her. There was a window. It had bars on it but just wide enough to fit through. Well, for Lynelle at least.

"That's the perfect way to get out." She told herself.

She started to get through. But when she got through she had to hide immediately. There were a couple guards she had to get by before she was free. Then she saw the Chronos Number, No. II Belze Rochefort.

"I have to be careful. If he sees me then I'll be in big trouble." She said to herself.

She was sneaking past the couple of guards. Then she had to get past Belze. This was going to be easy for her. She had just jumped over his head without him noticing, which is kind of hard to do. She then hid behind a building and headed back.

"Dammit. Where the hell is she?" Train said impatiently.

"Don't worry she'll be here soon." Sven said calmly.

"Yes. Sven is right just stay here and wait." Eve agreed.

"Besides she still has 15 minutes." Annette said.

"Fine. I'll wait 15 more minutes and then I'm gonna go find her and bring her back." Train answered back a little irritated.

Of course the door burst open. To their surprise it wasn't Lynelle. It was Rinslet. They didn't know why she was there. But they had a feeling they were going to find out a minute.

"Where is she?!" Rinslet yelled.

"Who Rinslet?" Sven asked.

"You know damn well who I'm talking about!!" She yelled again.

"Well she's not here." Train told her.

"And why the hell not?"

"She was taken by Chronos."

"Then why aren't you guys going after her?"

"Because I believe in her abilities. And I also believe in her."

Everyone was silent after that. They knew when Train said something that serious he wasn't joking. They knew damn well to keep their mouths shut after something like that.

"I have to get there and fast." Lynelle thought.

She was running so none of the Chronos goons could catch her. They didn't even notice she was gone and on her way to meet Train. Belze didn't even sense or notice her leaving. And that came to a surprise to her seeing as how he's No. II.

"Well, here I am. Time to go in and show them I'm ok." She said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

"That's it. I'm going out and looking for her." Train said

As soon as he was going to open the door to go out it opened. But as soon as it did the person coming in nearly fainted. If Train hadn't been there that person would have fell to the floor. He recognized that chestnut colored, long hair. It was Lynelle. To think she would make it back in time.

"Wow. You finally show up and you pass out. Real smooth Lynelle." Train said.

"Well at least she's ok." Sven said.

"Yeah. And she made it back on her own. That's really impressive." Rinslet said.

Train carried her up to the guest room. Train was so worried about her. But could finally rest easy now that she was back. He lay her in her bed.

"Welcome home." Train said. And for the first time he and her felt that this was truly their home. She had opened her eyes and Train had come closer and closer until his lips touched hers. This was their first kiss with a person. And they knew it was right.

"I love you Train Heartnet." Lynelle whispered.

"I love you too, Lynelle Wolves." He whispered back.

She closed her eyes back up and went to sleep. Train made sure she was asleep and stayed there with her for about a half hour. Then went back down to tell Sven that she was fine and needed her rest. And she was going to explain to them what happened to her in the morning. Then they went to sleep. But Train went in Lynelle's room and slept in there with her. They both were as comfy as can be with each other at their side.

Well that was interesting wasn't it? But at first I couldn't figure out what do to. Then I came up with this. At least she rescued herself instead of Train coming to her rescue. She wore herself out though. Oh well, but anyway please R&R.

What will happen with Lynelle and Train now that they know each other's feelings? When will Creed appear? And how will Creed get her? I guess you'll just have to wait and see. Until next time.
