Tee hee! Love this chapter~! I think there will only be about two or three more. =) Thank you so much for the support my friends!~!
"How long did it take you to get here?" Yao demanded as the four made their way to the station. His car refused to go faster than fifty… which did not bode well with the detective. "Matthew, radio us in. Tell dispatch that we need Ivan." Matthew nodded and went to do as told. Netalia was- completely uncharacteristically- hyperventilating in the back. Belle was doing what she could to calm her down.
"About twenty minutes. They wouldn't let us go until Alfred somehow convinced them that we had no involvement." Belle said hastily. "We came to you immediately." Yao nodded.
"Good. Do you have the code?" Netalia nodded. Yao breathed a small sigh of relief. "Alright, then we need to get to your brother as soon as possible. And when we do-!" Yao stopped in the middle of his sentence, and slowly lowered his hand to the switch under the dash that turned the headlights off.
"Yao- what are you-?!"
"SHH!" Yao cut off Matthew quickly. "Do you see that?" He pointed as he pulled into the farthest parking slot. Matthew followed his line of vision until he did see what his boss was trying to tell him.
Two (not cops) guards were standing at the entrance to the station, and a small group of men were leading someone- handcuffed and gagged no less- to the said door. Luckily, they had not seen the car pull in thanks to Yao's quick thinking.
Whoever was being led to the door was being very uncooperative. He refused to let the men touch him, and whenever they tried, he would violently jerk away. In one such situation, he jerked away in the direction of the car, revealing his features.
"Alfred…" Netalia whispered. Her eyes suddenly grew dark and a smile formed on her face. Belle looked at her with worry, almost scared of her friend.
"No Netalia. We must wait." Yao said. "But your time will come." Netalia looked at him, but reluctantly obeyed.
Suddenly, Yao's phone buzzed, making him jump. He looked down and saw the name of the caller, and was surprised to see His brother's name.

Bro- they've attacked the party. Kiku is unconscious. Mei's in a panic. What's going on? Where are you?
"Ahhh~!" Gilbert sang as Francis pushed his wheelchair down the hallway with his one good arm. "It's so nice to let us out and about!"
"I agree!" Antonio said from beside them. "Right Franny?" Francis nodded, a giant of a smile on his face.
"But we only have an hour! So we'd better hurry chumps!" Gilbert said, taking out a magazine (from who knew where) and rolled it into a cone of sorts. "Onward Francis! Our awesome will be greatly missed! I can't wait to see their looks of surprise when we make our grand entrance!" Francis shook his head, still smiling, and pushed faster, until they were almost running.
"You three need to slow down!" Ludwig's distressed voice called from behind them. "Antonio, you'll open your wounds!"
"No no mi amigo! I will be fine!" Antonio sang, slowing down none the less. Francis did the same, causing Gilbert to groan. "but still, thank you for helping us."
Ludwig caught up to them and nodded.
"Of course. And besides, Feli and Lovino will he thrilled to see you in better health." He said with a smile. "I don't think I've ever seen Lovino so worried before."
"Aww! Good little Lovi." Antonio laughed.
"Soo… To the party?" Gilbert interrupted. Ludwig nodded again and took the wheelchair from Francis and pushed in his stead. "YES! Let our awesome be reunited with humanity once again!" The albino cackled with intent and waited (patiently was a questionable word to describe it with) for his brother to go pull up the car to the curb.
While they waited, the three chanced a glance to the left. There, a girl sat in a wheelchair, just as Gilbert. But she was much younger, and had sandy blonde hair with a purple ribbon in it, and green eyes. Next to her, a boy with the same hair and eyes stood. The girl turned her head and saw him. She smiled and waved. The threesome blankly raised their own hands and waved back. She giggled and turned back to who they assumed was her brother. Antonio smiled and nudged his friend.
"Hey, would you look at that!" he whispered. "She can't walk… but she's got a smile brighter than Gil's!" Francis looked at him questioningly, a perfect eyebrow arched upward. The bruising around his eye had finally gone down, and his questioning blue eyes were both visible to the world.
"I mean… She's happy." Toni whispered. "I don't know how long she's been like that, but she looks like a very cheerful person… Like Feli! You know?"
Francis realized what his friend was saying and smiled. As they had talked, they hadn't realized that the boy was pushing the girl's chair towards them (by her request of course).
"Hello!" She said, in a sweeter-than-honey voice. "I am Lili Zwingli!" She said, holding out her small hand. "It is very nice to meet you!"
Francis took it first, and smiled brightly at the girl. She smiled and offered her hand to Anonio and Gilbert, who both shook her hand with equal cheerfulness.
"I am Gilbert the awesome, this is Antonio, and this is Francis." Gilbert said proudly.
"This is my brother Vash." She smiled. "How long have you had a wheelchair mr. Gilbert?" Lili asked. Gilbert thought about it, ignoring the twinge that came with the question.
"About a month and a half. Wow… it's been a while huh? And you?" Gilbert asked, being as friendly as he could be.
"Almost two years!" She said happily. "It's not as bad as people think though. Have you learned how to pop wheelies yet?"
Gilbert's eyes shone. "Nein! I haven't!"
For the next ten minutes, Lili tutored Gilbert on how to make the front of his wheelchair lift off of the ground while moving forward. By the time Ludwig drove up, he was a master. And by then they had learned that Vash was just as quiet and strict as Ludwig himself.
"Wow Mr. Gilbert! You're a fast learner!" She laughed.
"Haha, well I guess you are a very awesome teacher!" He said. "Oh- and this is my little brother. Ludwig! Ludwig, this is Lili."
"Very nice to meet you Mr. Ludwig!" Lili smiled. Ludwig nodded and accepted the small hand she had offered.
"And you as well." Ludwig said. Then he caught sight of her brother. "Well I'll be…" he said. "hello Vash."
"Ludwig." The man nodded. Gilbert, Lili and the others looked between the two for a moment before laughing.
"*~It's a small world after all~ It's a small world-OOF!" Antonio sang.
"No singing that in my awesome presence!" Gilbert said, pulling his fist back away from Antonio's side.
"So what brings you here?" Ludwig asked. Vash looked at him.
"Well I was taken off duty for a small amount of time to come see Lili… and we are supposed to be going to a birthday party tonight for my cousin. She's helped take care of Lili, so I thought we could stop by and say hello, so we're waiting for the shuttle."
"No way- Yekaterina's?" Gilbert asked. "That's where we're going!" He laughed.
"It's a small-OOF!" Francis kicked at Antonio this time.
"Would you like to come with us? We have plenty of room in Ludwig's monster sized truck." Gilbert offered. Vash thought about it for a moment.
"it's a free ride." Ludwig said easily.
"Alright… thanks for the offer."
Ivan sighed as he leaned against the wall in the back of the station. The storage room was full of four or five officers who had heard the attack coming, and had hidden in the only place that locked from the inside. They all kept their guns at their sides and waited for the attackers to ultimately find them.
Ivan's phone suddenly vibrated. He jumped about ten feet before shakily picking it up and looking at the message, and responding quickly.
Text message
From: Yao Wang
Ivan, I am outside the building. They have Alfred Jones. I have your sister and Belle. Matthew is with me too. Are you alright?
To: Yao Wang
I am alright. We are hiding in the storage room. They have the rest of us in the center of building.
From: Yao Wang
Alright. They attacked the party as well. Everyone is their hostage. They have Kiku as well.
To: Yao Wang
…
Дерьмо
From: Yao Wang
I don't know what that means. But we don't have time for cussing. What do you suppose we do?
To: Yao Wang
The people at the party take priority. But what would they want with your brother?
From: Yao Wang
His information on patients I would guess. Or he stood up to them.
To: Yao Wang
He would do that?!
From: Yao Wang
He's stronger than he looks. But what do we do? We have a couple men on the inside there, and I instructed them to only act if necessary.
To: Yao Wang
We wait.
Ivan sighed and tucked his phone away. This was going to be a long night.
BANG.
Ivan and his fellow officers jumped as a bang resounded on the other side of the door. Guns clicked into ready position instantly, aiming at the door.
A very long night indeed.
To: Yao Wang
They found us.
Alfred glared as the men around him all dug through papers and top secret files that filled Yao's desk. He would have done more, but his guns had been taken and he was handcuffed to a chair while a handkerchief covered his mouth, with a wad of cloth stuffed into his mouth.
He closed his eyes for a moment, praying that Netalia and Belle had gotten away. He didn't know where Chief Ivan was hiding… but he could sense that he was there. However that worked. Too bad they had knocked him out before he could figure out who these men were and how the HELLO they knew him. Alfred sighed, the pain in his neck leaving a dull throb to resonate throughout his body.
"We found some sort of lock-in room. They might be hiding in there." One of the men said to another. Both had black ski-masks on and gloves that would protect their identity. Both looked to Alfred simultaneously, the same thought on their minds. Information.
The first cocked his gun and pointed it to Alfred's head. The said officer jerked his head away and glared. (if looks could kill…) But the other suddenly reached out and, dragged the chair over and slammed the cop's head against the desk with a resounding THUD. The gun was pushed against his head again.
"Where would all of your little cop friends be hiding… Officer?" Alfred gagged as the cloth was ripped from his mouth. He just glared.
"Like I'd tell you." He spat, dryly of course. The man's lips curved up into a smile. Alfred didn't like that look one bit.
"Oh I think you will Officer." He said, standing straight. "Get the hostages!" he called. Alfred's eyes widened as a small figure was yanked in, along with a much, much larger one. Black sacks were on their heads, until both were whipped off and Alfred gasped.
"Berwald?! Peter?" He gasped.
"Haha! You're friend has been giving us information for the last two months!" The little boy looked up at him, tears welling up in his blue eyes Berwald looked at Alfred in shame.
"Th'y had m' son." The detective said. Alfred nodded, knowing that he would do whatever it took as well, if anyone had taken either of his brothers or Netalia. "M' S'rry." He said. Alfred just nodded again. But he struggled as the gun was pressed to the terrified child's head. However, the men held him in place.
"Now… where's the hideout?"
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN! What will happen?! Even I'm not sure~! And should I do a back story for Berwald and Peter~? Maybe.
=) We Shall see.
