Spy Guy: I live! Oh my gosh! I'm not dead. Ok. So...I bet all of you peoples want to kmow where I've been for the last month, and so I will tell you.

I got abducted by badgers.

Actually I was just in a musical. A really big high school musical. And not high school musical. a high school musical. I was a crazy fan girl from the fifties. During this time period, seven people tripped over a speaker, one person overa bed, and yours truely fell off a ramp and ripped her costume. Boo yeah! I fell off a ramp! I fell off a ramp! Anyways so that's where your favorite Spy Guy has been for a month. I got to sing! But I hate make up. It stinks. So read and review!


It was later that night when someone knocked at Jazz's door. She went over and opened it. In the doorway stood Vlad, holding a dinner tray in his hand.

"So how are you doing Jasmine?" He asked.

"As good as I can be." She replied, trying to hide the contempt in her voice.

"Well I brought you some soup, a roll, an apple, and a glass of water. Are you hungry?" He asked, smiling innocently.

"No I'm not. Give it to Danny. He needs it more than me." Jazz answered.

Vlad frowned.

"Daniel is used to having a small meal. You are not. I'm giving this to you. The way you're acting now, it's almost like you want to join your brother. Because that can be arranged." He snarled. Jazz sighed and took the tray from Vlad. "That's a good little girl." The man smiled. "I'd like to tell you that we are going to be heading out to the Rocky Mountains to stay in my cabin for a while. We need the large forest to further Daniel's training."

"Yes father." Jazz sighed. That was the last place she wanted to go. The place where this all started. She remembered calling out her brother's name. Maybe he had heard her, but didn't answer, not knowing who he was.

"That's good. Get your things packed." Vlad said with a smile.

"You do realize that you've slipped up?" Jazz whispered. "You were staying in our house. If you went missing, along with me and Danny, my parents will think it was you."

"Ah but Jasmine. I went back and put ectoplasm all over the place. I also left a note saying that Skulker had kidnapped the world's richest man, and all witness's to the crime. Meaning you and Daniel. I don't slip up. I think things through."

Jazz looked away.

"I'll get packed." She said. Vlad sneered, and then left. Jazz didn't have any of her old clothes. All Vlad had given her were two pairs of black slacks, and two white dress shirts. She hated them.

"Now I know why Danny rolled up the sleeves. This feels oppressive." She put one into a bag, and set the other aside for the next day. Jazz thought it was cruel of Vlad to tell her to pack. She didn't have anything. Everything was back at her home. She then ate her dinner. What she ate tasted good, but guilt weighed on her conscious. Danny should be eating this. Then Jazz looked in the door way and saw Danny there.

"Father wants to leave tonight. He wants you to finish up and change." Danny said flatly.

"Are you hungry Danny?" Jazz asked.

"My opinion doesn't matter." The boy replied. It still hurt to hear him talk like that.

"Well come on and eat this soup. It's good."

"No." Danny said. "Father wants me to eat only what he gives me." Jazz got up with the roll in her hand.

"Eat this." She smiled shoving it in his face. Danny just pushed her away.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"Father wants you to have it. He said so himself." Jazz replied. "So just eat it." She handed the roll to him.

Danny looked at it for a moment and then took a small bite. He chewed like it was a tough piece of jerky, but soon swallowed. Then another bite came. And another. Soon the roll was gone, and all that remained of it were the crumbs on his black gloves. Jazz spotted, for just a moment, a hungry look in his eye.

"And he wanted you to have all of that over there." She said, pointing to the tray on her bed. Danny hesitated for a moment, before he walked over, and took the bowl of soup in his hands. It was cold now, but he still ate it, using the spoon properly, and never making a spill. Then came the apple. The bites were small, but soon it was gone as well. Jazz felt bad for drinking all the water earlier, but Vlad had to give him that. If he was dehydrated, that would affect his performance, and that was the last thing Vlad wanted to happen.

"Father also said not to talk about this at all. You got it?"

Danny nodded and left the room. Jazz felt happy that her brother had had a full meal for once, but as she lay back on her bed, she heard her stomach grumble. Vlad was right. She wasn't used to not eating.


In a few hours, Jazz climbed into the back seat of Vlad's black car. Vlad was driving and Danny was sitting next to him, leaving her all alone in the back seat. The small bag was lying at her feet. Her white shirt was stifling and she longed to roll up the sleeves, but she knew that Vlad would stop her. Jazz contented herself by looking out the window. In the other cars she saw brothers teasing and poking their sisters. Jazz remembered how Danny used to do that. She had just wanted him to go away. Now she wanted him to come back. Vlad had the front windows down. Danny was sitting up straight to attention. At one time Vlad stopped at a red light, and a car full of teenage girls stopped on Danny's side.

"Hey cutie!" One shouted. Danny didn't even look.

"That must be Vlad Master's son." Another one whispered loudly. "He's adopted."

"I wish Vlad would adopt me." One whined.

"No really you don't." Jazz thought.

"Look how he acts like he's too cool for us. He has such dreamy eyes." At that, all the girls sighed.

"You're quite the ladies man Daniel." Vlad said. "Too bad you can't enjoy it. Just think how fun it would've been to be the son of a billionaire."

Danny remained still as the car moved forward. The girls drove alongside them, until Vlad got on the express way.


The ride was a long one. Jazz fell asleep a few times, but every time she woke up, there was Danny, still sitting straight in the chair. After a few days they finally reached their destination. The three got out of the car, and Vlad let them inside. Danny stopped in the door way.

"Come on Little Badger. Get in."

Danny did so.

"You don't have to listen to him." Jazz whispered. "You can listen to your heart."

"What did you say Jasmine?" Vlad asked.

"Nothing…father." She replied.

"That's good. Your room is down that hallway. Daniel, come with me." Vlad and Danny began to walk off. Jazz was about to head off to her room, when there was a loud crash from outside. Jazz stared out a nearby window to see what it was. Her eyes opened wide with surprise. There, right outside, was a demolished Specter Speeder. The boo-merang then flew through the window, almost hitting Jazz. It then followed the trail that Vlad and Danny had taken.

"No…" Jazz whispered. Then she heard Vlad shout,

"What is this stupid thing!" He then ran out, dragging Danny behind him, and holding the boo-merang. Then he looked through the broken window and saw what had crashed in his yard. Tucker and Sam had crawled out from the wreck.

"Oh it's your friends Daniel. They must miss you." Vlad sneered. "Let's greet them. Transform." Danny did so, along with Vlad. They then flew outside.

Sam crawled forward a little bit before trying to get up. Something had been wrong with the specter speeder and they kept having to stop. That was why it took so long. And then Danny's location changed. Finally the vehicle couldn't take it anymore and had crashed, right where they needed to be. Sam looked around. It was Vlad's cabin. That explained a lot. Vlad must have been keeping Danny prisoner all this time. Then she saw Jazz in the window. And then Vlad. The next thing she knew the door was pushed open ,and out stepped Plasmius followed by none other than Danny. But his eyes. There was something wrong about them.

"So Samantha." Vlad hissed "I bet you're here for Daniel. Well he's staying here and you will leave."

"Danny stop him!" She shouted.

"He won't do anything unless I tell him to. So I would leave right now."

Sam looked over at Tucker, who was unconscious, but still ok. Then she looked at Danny.

"What happened to you?" She whispered.

"A lot's happened in this past year. Were you just expecting to pick up where you left off? Life isn't like that Samantha." Vlad replied.

Sam's eyes became slits of anger.

"I'm gonna' tell everyone! I'm gonna' tell everyone what you've done!"

"Run Sam!" Jazz shouted. "He's not going to let you leave!"

"Shut up Jasmine!" Vlad snarled.

"I don't care what you do to me! I just want you to leave everyone else alone!" Jazz shouted. Vlad then fired an ecto beam at her, knocking her unconscious.

Sam stared in horror only a minute, but then she took off into the woods.

"Get her Daniel! Don't let her leave!" Vlad demanded. Danny immediately took off into the sky, but he found it hard to follow the running girl through the tree tops, so he landed and followed her on foot.

"That's the girl…" The voice whispered. "There she is. She's ok." But Danny didn't care anymore. After all those days of longing to see her, here she was, but he didn't care anymore. The only thing he cared about was catching her and taking her back to his father.
