Chapter 11: Search and Rescue (Amanda's Mission)

Eugene

"Okay Amanda, you remember the plan right?" I asked Amanda as we hid behind her car in the visitor parking lot.

"Yes, for the millionth time, I know the plan," she said with an eye roll. I rolled my eyes back just for good measure as Gothel- Odessa, made her way out of the condo. She got in the van and pulled out, almost angrily. I got into Amanda's car, ready to follow her.

"Plan FAR is put into action," I said triumphantly. Amanda punched me in the shoulder and groaned.

"Good luck Rider, you're going to need it…" she said. I put my hand on her forearm, staring her in the eye.

"Keep her safe, okay?" She nodded as I drove off after Odessa. She wouldn't get away… not if Rapunzel was involved.

Amanda

I felt like a secret agent from the movies that I liked to watch approaching the building where Rapunzel lived. It was silent, and almost too easy. Why on earth would Odessa just leave Rapunzel and not expect her to try escaping? Then it hit me… she had to be unconscious… or worse. I sprinted to the door and kicked it down, the pain of the wooden door settling in moments after I walked into the well-kept condo.

"Rapunzel?" I called out into the house. "Rapunzel where are you?" I heard nothing as I approached the stair case. "RAPUNZEL?" I called out again. Suddenly I heard a muffled scream from one of the doors upstairs. A wave of relief washed over me as I ran up the stairs, two steps at a time and approached the door where the noise was coming from. "Rapunzel? Are you in there?" I asked to the door. The muffled screams were strongest behind the door. I jiggled the handle, locked, as suspected. I looked around for a key or some form of lock pick. I could always kick the door down again, but my foot hurt from the front door. I put my hands on my head and began pacing back and forth, and then I felt a bobby pin in my hair. I pulled it out and gave a sly smile. "Don't worry Rapunzel, I'll have you out in a moment," I said to myself, jiggling the pin in the lock. It clicked and I turned the handle, opening the door and standing in shock at the sight. Rapunzel was tied to her bed post, and gagged below the nose. What was most surprising was that her hair was short, cut to just below her ears, as if it had been cut with a shard of glass. Her eyes opened wide as I approached her and pulled the gag down. She let out a sigh of relief.

"Amanda, you're here!" she cried happily. I began to untie her wrists.

"Are you okay?" I asked, throwing the rope aside and helping her up. She was weak and fell into my arms. "I gotcha, you're safe now…" I told her. She gripped onto me and shook.

"Thank you… but mo- Gothel… she's going to do something horrible, something I couldn't imagine," she said. I helped her out the door and to the door. "Where are we going?" she asked. I walked over to the main road and hailed a cab, since Flynn took my car.

"We're going to my house, where you'll be safe," I told her. We got in the cab and I told the driver my address. She slumped against me in the cab and sighed.

"Thank you Amanda… thank you…"

"Mom! Mom?" I called out into my house. My mother, a plump woman wearing glasses and a green dress came down the stairs, she gasped upon seeing Rapunzel.

"What happened?" she asked worriedly. I led Rapunzel over to the leather couch and sat down with her.

"It's a long story, this is Rapunzel… she's been through a lot, do you have any food left?" my mother nodded and ran into the kitchen. She emerged with a bowl of soup.

"I'm okay you know…" Rapunzel said, rubbing her head and sitting up. "Where's Eugene?" I gave her a confused look as my mother sat down.

"Eugene? Who's Eugene?" I asked. Her eyes widened and she clapped her hand over her mouth.

"I meant Flynn… where is he?" she asked. I put the two and two together.

"Flynn's name is Eugene?" I asked. Rapunzel turned away and blushed. "He went after Odessa…" I said. Rapunzel's face took on a look of confusion. I sighed and explained everything as she ate. Who she was, who her "mother" was, even everything that Flynn found out. She listened intently, and finished her food eagerly.

"So he went after Mo- Go- Odessa?" she asked. I nodded.

"It was his idea, I'm sure he'll be okay. Don't worry Rapunzel," I reassured her. My mother put her arm around Rapunzel and gave her a reassuring squeeze.

"Don't worry dearie, Eugene will be okay. You can stay here with us as long as you like." Rapunzel embraced the comfort and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Thank you," Rapunzel said. "For everything." I smiled at her and we got up.

"You can stay in my room, I have a bunk bed!" I told her. Rapunzel smiled at me and we made our way upstairs. I pulled out my phone and checked for any word from Flynn. Nothing… I put my phone away and looked at Rapunzel. "So, what do you want to do first?" I asked, just as my phone went off. I pulled it out and looked at the caller ID. It was Flynn! I held the phone out to Rapunzel. She took it and hit the green answer button.

"Hello? Eugene?" she asked frantically, almost excitedly. She seemed excited to hear his voice, but when her face took on a downcast expression, and she held out the phone to me, I knew something was up.

"What's wrong?" I asked, taking the phone from her.

"I don't know Amanda, the line died without a sound… what if he's hurt?" she asked. I put a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sure he's fine, we'll wait until the morning, try to call him, and if he doesn't pick up, I'll go look for him, okay?" Rapunzel nodded and gave a little smile. I walked into my closet and picked out a pair of purple pajamas. "Put these on, and get some sleep, okay?" I asked. Rapunzel took them gratefully and walked into the bathroom. I stood there and wondered if Flynn was okay, but I had doubts. And I'm sure Rapunzel did too.

Rapunzel

I laid with my face to the ceiling on the top bunk of Amanda's bed. She had saved me from my own house, her mother took me it, and she even loaned me clothing… I missed Pascal, I missed Eugene even more.

"Hey Amanda?" I called out into the darkness.

"Hmm?"

"Do you think Eugene is okay? I'm really worried about him…"

"I'm sure he's just fine wherever he is right now…" Amanda muttered. I heard sheets ruffle; she was probably rolling over or something.

"Amanda?"

"Yeah Rapunzel?"

"Thank you again…"

"Don't mention it," she said. "Get some sleep Rapunzel…" I rolled to face the wall and closed my eyes, dreaming that Eugene would be okay.
