"It looks like Daddy isn't going to pay for you to come home," one of the men growled as he stomped into the room. "He says you are worthless and have to save yourself."

The other man trailed behind him, clearly furious.

"We wasted time and energy trying to get to you and for what?! Nothing?!" He stormed over to the pair and tore Arima away, dragging him to his feet. "I refuse to accept that!"

Using all of his strength, he punched the boy in the face. He needed to take his anger out on someone and he had a punching bag right in front of him. Concerned for his friend, Akoya jumped up and tried to run over to help him but was grabbed by the other man. He was pulled against his chest and held tightly.

"I wouldn't get involved, princess," he sneered. "Unless you want your pretty face to be rearranged."

Tears burst from his eyes as he was forced to watch the other man ruthlessly beat his friend until he passed out, covered in blood.

Breathing deeply, the man turned to face them.

"Well now, beautiful," he crooned, an unsettling smile creeping onto his face. "What are we going to do with you? Daddy isn't going to come get you so I guess you and your boyfriend are ours to play with." He stalked forward and cupped his face. "I suppose we could still get our money's worth with you." His grin widened and he looked up at the other man. "Are you thinking what I am thinking?"

The man nodded.

"He does have a gorgeous body and with that hair we could dress him up and he would look just like a girl. We could have all sorts of fun with him."

Akoya's eyes grew huge and terrified. He began to struggle, trying to break away, but the other two simply tightened their grasp on him.

"You are going to do whatever we say," the first man warned in a low voice, whispering directly into his ear. "Whatever we say, when we say it." He pulled back, trailing his hands down the boy's body as he did so. "Right now you are filthy which will not stand. We are going to get you some water and supplies so you may clean yourself up for us."

The man left the room. The second man continued to hold him for a few moments longer, biting at his pale neck and leaving dark bruises. Akoya whimpered but the man did not release him until he was satisfied.

Once he did, the first man stepped back into the room holding a bucket of water, a small tub, and a bar of crusty soap. He was also carrying a towel with something folded on top of it. "You are to wash, change into this, and then wait for us to return." Placing the items on the ground, he added, "Do not think of doing anything else or your boyfriend will pay dearly for it."

The two departed and Akoya waited for a few minutes before unbuttoning his no longer white uniform top with shaking hands.

Kinshiro and Io dashed back into the room where their friends were. Using the key Io had secretly stolen from the officer he had forced out of the way, they unlocked the two other cells.

"We need to get out of here!" Kinshiro explained in a frantic whisper. "Those 'officers' might have been the ones to kidnap Akoya and Arima!"

As a group, they all ran out of the police station and hid in a store across the street so they could see if the officers came after them. Pulling his phone out, Kinshiro called his driver and instructed him to meet them outside the store.

While they waited, the two police officers left the station and slipped into a patrol car. It pulled onto the street a moment later and they watched it until it was out of sight. Soon after that, Kinshiro's own car parked outside and they hurried to get inside.

The wealthy male explained what was happening and what the other car looked like so they could follow it. The driver quickly turned back onto the road and they spotted the patrol car in the distance. He drove as he normally did while tailing the car from a safe distance so the men did not realize they were being followed.

They drove for nearly an hour, driving far outside the city limits. On the way, Kinshiro called his butler and informed him of what they were doing and where they were going. He also said he would turn the tracking on his phone but asked the man not to send anyone after him unless he did not call to say he was fine within two hours. The man agreed and said he would only inform the other boys' parents if he did not check in within that time.

Kinshiro thanked him and hung up. Turning to the other five boys jammed into the back of the car, he explained what had transpired.

"We have two hours to find where they have taken Akoya and Arima, rescue them, and call back to say that we are safe."

"Is that enough time?" Io asked. "We have been driving for quite a while and not sure how much farther we have to go."

"If we are closing in on the time when we arrive, or even before we arrive, I will call back to show that we are safe and need more time."

The other nodded.

"I believe we are here," the driver called as he parked.

The group tumbled out of the car, eager to start looking for their friends.

"Look!" Yumoto shouted, pointing at something. "That's the car they were in!"

They looked where he was pointing and saw the familiar car hidden under some small trees. Approaching cautiously, they tried to determine if anyone was in or near the car but found no one. They peered through the windows and jumped when Kinshiro suddenly called out. He tugged the back door open and grabbed something off of the floor of the car.

"That's the necklace Akoya was wearing!" he cried out. "This proves that he was in the car!"

En turned to look at the building they were outside of; it was large and run down with graffiti covering the walls.

"Then they must be somewhere inside."

Preparing themselves to enter the building, they swiftly changed into their other forms.
