Once more I apologise for this chapter, I'm having trouble writing right now and this one seems a little slow!

I do not own Beyblade


"So this is a layout of the grounds" Tala informed everyone as they all looked at layout pictures they had received with help from Boris. He sat with the Blade breakers, Millie Julia and Renaldo trying to think up the simplest and most effective plan "As far as we know Hilary's bedroom is here, in order to get to it we'll need to get through this place as undetected as possible."

"Where's the best point of entry to the grounds?" Julia asked studying the layout carefully

"There's a side entrance here" Kai pointed to the gateway "It brings us into the grounds, it's the same one that the caterers use."

"Then you're under scrutiny from armed guards stationed here and here" Millie pointed "they were there when I was in there. I don't know if they were there because we were or if they were always there."

"We'll need to take them out then" Kai sighed frowning, it would be difficult to do without raising a full scale alarm.

"Maybe not" Millie told him "If we wait one more day we could arrive as the caterers."

"You mean take their place?" Julia asked frowning

"Yeah" Mille nodded smiling "We'd be noticed when we got in there but we might be able to get through the gates without issue."

"That's a good idea" Renaldo agreed

"But the catering van is slow, obvious, we'd need to change vans but we could easily park the van I've arranged outside the walls we could transfer to the other van as soon as we have Hilary out of there."

"And Brady" Millie said decidedly "I know you guys have a bit of a score to settle with him but he does have a wife and child in there with him. We can't just leave them behind."

"We won't" Kai agreed, "We'll make sure to get them out to, asides from anything else if Hilary is at all like the old one she won't leave them behind"

"We'll have to contact the others" Tala spoke decidedly "Tell Bryan what's going on. He's the one with the biggest axe to grind."

"You call him" Kai commanded "try to make him…"

"I know, I'll make sure he doesn't act too badly."

"We ought to contact Jake and his team." Ray recommended "He'll be able to help us with all this and if we can send Brady and his family to him, it might make things easier for us in the long run."

"Well Brady probably knows more about Horatio's illegal activities, it would help Jake out." Max agreed "I've still got Jake's contact details. I'll call him."

"Good" Renaldo nodded "I'll get on with gathering the thing's we'll need, I want everyone to acquaint themselves with the positions of cameras throughout the house, the more time we can move through the house undetected the better off we'll be. Millie you show everyone the route the caterers use to get to the kitchens, maybe there's a way around the house that we can use. Kai, you'll have to sort out the travel details, we'll need to be able to travel the minute we leave the house."

"No problem, there's nothing else we can do until then," Kai shrugged lightly

"Right lets get to work."

Everyone started filing out of the room leaving only two people still standing in Kai's bedroom.

Silently staring out the window Kai waited, nothing was said so finally he turned "What do you want?"

"Kai" Millie looked directly at him as she spoke "You've got to remember that this isn't the Hilary we know, she didn't ask about any of us specifically"

"I know" he frowned fiercely but Millie wasn't going to be scared off.

"Kai you have to listen to me for a second. I know what you want to happen when you see her again, you're hoping for her to recognise you, for something to happen that means she knows you and what you are to her."

Sighing Kai nodded "I do not deny that some part of me hopes…" he smiled briefly at Millie "I know it's not likely."

"I've been reading up on amnesia and judging by the way she acted when I saw her I think we need to slowly tell her what she needs to know, if she asks us then we must be totally honest or we'll lose her trust entirely so…, we will tell her about the two of you, it's important that we do… eventually."

"Basically You're telling me to just wait."

"Kai." Millie paused before answering "I'm telling you not to tell her straight away. It'll be a short while before she trusts us enough to believe us. When she does then we can tell her."

"I've managed without her for sometime, I think I can last a little longer"

"It'll be harder when she's around. I think it might be good for you to avoid her for a while unless you can just… well if you act like… if you can be…"

"Be my usual self?" he interrupted smirking.

Millie laughed nodding "I'm afraid so"

"I'll manage, somehow"

"Alright…" Millie nodded slowly before turning and walking towards the doorway, once there she stopped to turn back to Kai saying "and… don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this… me ordering you around"

Kai nodded "Don't worry, no one would believe you anyway"

Holding in her laughter Millie left the room, if she had spoken to Kai like that before he would have dismissed her in the rudest manner possible but since discovering that Hilary was alive he was becoming a lot more easy to deal with.

--

Sitting in her room Hilary decided that enough was enough. She wanted answers about her past, she wanted the truth. The past few nights her dreams had revolved around a pair of intense grey eyes and a large red bird surrounded by fire. She didn't understand why this was important or why she felt it attached her to him, that name, Kai.

Standing she walked towards the window staring out of it before raising her suspicious eyes to where the camera was hidden.

Recently she'd been keeping her eyes open for any other cameras in the house or evidence of her family watching her. As it was she'd noticed nothing.

Samantha and Brady were as friendly and yet secretive as ever.

Sammy was cute and innocent but she had hardly expected a child to be in on any big secrets in the house.

Dr Kensall was open and friendly, she had been speaking about vitamin supplements that may help stimulate certain memories… the weird thing was that Hilary felt that that was wrong somehow. Somewhere deep in her psyche she knew that vitamin supplements shouldn't do that.

Voltaire was creepy as ever, as far as she knew he had never returned to her room to watch her but now there were cameras watching her every move she wasn't sure that he wasn't watching her in some way.

Her grandfather was lovely, he'd been giving her driving lessons around the estate and she'd loved every minute of it. She felt comfortable behind the wheel of a car, part of her had remembered some of what she needed to do before she had been told. Still she needed to know, she needed to know everything.

She'd ask him tonight, after dinner.

"How long do we have to wait?" Kai asked as Millie drove along the roads taking them along to the catering company.

"Well we need to get rid of the usual crew before we think about anything else" Millie told him "but…. the deliveries start at about midnight so if you're quick about twenty minutes. We were out of there by about one but we were interrupted. I think they expect the caterers to take forty five minutes."

"So we'll have about three quarters of an hour to work before someone gets suspicious as to why the vans still there?"

"Pretty much"

"That's not a lot of time." Tyson said quietly

"We're more likely to be spotted by cameras or run into someone before the times up."

Tala frowned as he stared out the window "Quit being so pessimistic. We've got this thing sorted. Renaldo and Max will be waiting outside the grounds with the van to take us to the airport. Kenny's with them and will have access to the camera's he should be able to get them set up on a loop."

"I know" Millie nodded, the plan was practically perfect. She, Kai, Tala and Tyson would get in under the guise of caterers using the van as cover, Kenny would set up the cameras on a loop. They'd find Hilary, Brady and the others and get them into the catering van, once outside the grounds they'd meet up with Renaldo and Max in the van and travel to the airport where Julia was waiting with Kai's pilot and plane. "How we gonna get rid of the caterers? You're not gonna hurt them right?"

"No, we'll settle them with a little chloroform" Tala reassured her "We aren't starting to hurt people till we get inside the house."

"Suddenly I feel so much better" Millie muttered concentrating on the parking lot as she moved her car smoothly into it's parking spot.

Keeping his head down Kai watched as he, Tyson and Tala walked in behind Millie. Millie herself nodded to the people she knew, she went to talk to her boss taking him into the office and discussing her reason for being late to distract him. As soon as they were out of the room he and Tala got to work, there were exactly three people on duty to go with Millie into the house, they were loading food into a large van with the company's logo. Walking up behind the closest one Kai took hold of his cloth covered in chloroform and as soon as he was close enough he slid one arm around the mans arms and the hand holding the cloth over his mouth. The man struggled but his arms were securely held by Kai and the struggle was pointless and soon the fight went out of him and he dropped to the floor. Tala walked forward quickly helping to store the unconscious man in the van.

All this time Tyson kept watch checking on Millie and her boss every few seconds before looking around to check that no one else was coming

They managed it quickly and then stood back waiting for the final two men that they needed to dispose of. They didn't have to wait long as the two arrived carrying trays of food and talking easily. They walked to place the tray into the van and then realised that their co-worker inside was unconscious.

A simple "What the?" was all either of them managed to mutter before Tala and Kai had moved forward and repeating the same movement that Kai did the first time and knocked them out.

Once again the unconscious men were placed in the back and just in time as Tyson began signalling to them that Millie was on her way out. As Millie exited the office they all exchanged a speaking look and immediately she knew that the job had started. Kai and Tala jumped into the back pulling the doors closed behind them, Tyson ran to the passenbger seat and jumped in keeping one of the caterers caps low on his head, Millie rushed around to the front seat starting the engine and driving the vehicle out through the doors she crossed her fingers praying that everything would work.

If it did in just under an hour they'd have Hilary with them and they'd be driving to the airport

"Do you have a minute Grandfather?" Hilary asked moving into his study with a nervous smile on her face

"For you I have all the time in the world." He told her indicating the chair opposite his "What is it that you want?"

"Well… I was just thinking…" Hilary paused as she sat on the chair drawing her legs up towards her chest. "I want to ask…"

Horatio nodded patiently waiting for her to continue, when she didn't he leaned forward urging "Hilary what is it you want to talk about?"

"Did I ever know anyone called Kai?"

Horatio was stunned, of all the questions he had been expecting from his granddaughter that had not been one of them. "Kai?"

"Yes Kai?"

"I don't understand where you got that name" Horatio frowned down at her "Who told you that name?"

"No one, I just… remember it" she lied trying to work out why her grandfather looked quite so uncomfortable.

"Well I'm sorry to say that I don't know of any Kai" Horatio smiled reassuringly "when you first said the name it sounded familiar but now I'm not so sure, In fact." He paused apparently thinking the whole thing through "No, I'm sure you never knew anyone called Kai. Sorry Hilary"

"Right"

"By the way I was rather hoping that you would spend some time with Dr Kensall, after all she is here to help you."

"Oh Ok" Hilary nodded "I'll go see her in a bit."

The minute Hilary had left the room Horatio pressed a button on the intercom going straight to Dr K's room, the minute the doctor picked up on her end he hissed "Listen she's remembered something. Someone. I want the memory serum back into her tonight."

"I don't know if that's a good idea. We need to discover why she remembered anything."

"I don't give a damn what you think or think you know I'm in charge here. I want her memories wiped again. Do it." as soon as this was done Horatio contacted Voltaire "She's remembering"

"How much?"

"I don't know but she asked about Kai. We need Boris back."

"I haven't heard anything from in days"

"Where'd he go?"

"Japan he's checking on Kendall and Lando. I'll call him straight away."

"Do that, and get Dr Wingblade we need him back, he has some questions to answer." swearing violently Horatio moved away from the desk and began to look through the papers he had received from the doctor about the memory serum.

Something had gone wrong, really wrong.

--

One sleeved rolled up her arm Hilary sat talking with Dr K as the woman measured out an amount of substance.

"I mean I guess I just thought that Kai must have been someone I knew."

"I know what you mean. What did your grandfather say exactly?"

"That I'd never known anyone called Kai." Hilary frowned unhappily, her aunt had definitely told her that she knew a Kai, she had even encouraged her to think about him. "Can this ait a second?" Hilary jumped out of her seat and walked over to the doorway "I really need to go check something."

"No!" Dr Kensall grabbed Hilary's arm and held her in place "We need to do this now."

"It's just vitamin shot" Hilary argued surprised at the angry look on her doctors face.

"We need to do it now"

"You're hurting me" suddenly the doctors eyes changed and fearful Hilary wrenched her arm away and began to move back from the doctor. "What the hell is going on?"

"Lets get this done" Dr K argued moving quickly forward and taking hold of Hilary's arm. Hilary fought back pulling away and trying to make for the door but in her haste she tripped over a chair and fell crashing to the floor. Before she could do anything else Dr K was on top of her holding her arm straight and plunging the needle into the first available vein.
