Her nose is the first of her five senses to kick in. She smelt the chemicals of paint next to her head, the faster she breathed in, the dizzier she got. She turned her head over furrowing her brows, her eyes were slowly opening and closing, reopening and shutting her eyes out from her surroundings. Once her eyes fully reopened, she felt groggy, slowly moving around. Sora saw darkness, smelt chemical paints and heard tires screech beneath her. Realization struck her head hard. Sora is in a trunk. She panicked breathing heavily, and she punched and she kicked the trunk of the car and screamed as loud as she could hope that someone could hear her. Sora punched the trunk as hard as she could, her eyes swelled up from the upcoming tears that rained on her cheeks, but no matter how much force she put in her punches or kicks, or how much tears she cried, it didn't get her anywhere.

She covered her eyes with her palms and cried until her eye lids couldn't open again. Her whimpers were stressful, they were desperate and no one, not Tai, could be by her side.

The sudden sound of her phone ringed through her ears, she jolted up and grabbed the phone that hid in her back pocket. She looked at the caller ID, Tai Yagami.

She immediately answered. "Tai! TAI!"

"Sora! Sora! Thank God you're okay!" She could tell his relief over the line. She happened to feel overwhelmed when she heard his voice. "What happened, Sora?"

"Tai, I'm so frightened!" She cried over the line. "I don't know what to do! Please, help me Tai! Please...! Help me..." And her tears were warm as they flowed down her cheeks yet again.

"Sora," He called her. "Sora, I'm here. Listen to my voice, and tell me where you are?"

"I'm in a trunk! They placed me inside their trunk! Please, get me out..."

"Damn...I'm trying all that I can to help you Sora. First, we have to find out where you are."

"I don't know where I'm at..."

"But we can get a clue from where you're at. Sora, do you see the red break lights from inside?"

"Uhh," She turned her head away from ceiling of the trunk and searched for what Tai described. There in the very corners of the trunk were the red embedded break lights. "I see them! What do I do, Tai?"

"Good! Good! Okay now Sora, I want you, as hard as you can, to break one of them off. Let me know when you do so,"

"Right," Sora scooted forward with her hips and elbows closer to the red lights. She positioned herself to where her foot was able to kick it and where she could see the light being kicked off. Three times she kicked the red break lights, she only loosened it. Again three times, now it completely broke off. With the light broken off, Sora could now hear the noise that had been blocked from her. She heard it all, cars passed by rapidly, the honking of cars, the sound of music beating loudly then softly as it passed the car she is trapped in. She peeked into the hole she created and her eyes wondered seeing the freeway. "Tai! I know where I'm at!"

"You do?!"

"I'm on the freeway, the one across from our university!"

"That's helpful, Sora!" He paused for a moment murmuring the information to a person that would help him and Sora out. She assumed the person had been an officer or a detective perhaps. She wasn't sure what profession specifically dealt with kidnappings. "Okay, I need you to stick your hand out and wave to the car in front of you. Surely, that will get a curious phone call to the authorities."

"Okay." Sora nodded her head and did as she was told. Her hand fit perfectly through the hole and vigorously waved it hoping the driver behind her would catch their attention. She withdrew her hand, peeked her eyes through the hole and saw that the SUV behind her switched lanes. She sighed in disappointment, lowering her head. She lifted it up a moment later, now seeing a smaller family car approach in the place of the SUV. She stuck her had through the hole once more and waved twice as vigorous as she did before. After feeling the strain her wrist, Sora withdrew her hand inside and peeked. She saw the driver staring at her, or the hole at least where her hand was, in disbelief.

"Tai," She sighed. "I-I think he saw me!"

"Is he making a phone call?"

She peeked once more. He had his phone on his ear talking on the other end. Sora answered back, "Yes, yes he made a phone call!"

Tai became silent on the line, Sora called for his name but no reply. She heard other voices beside Tai's. A group of three men were calling out the shots through Tai's voice. Policemen were in the cafe where Sora had met these men, these terrible and frightening men. They lied and cheated her out to kidnap her for a reason. What could the reason possibly be?

"Sora?" Tai snapped her thoughts back into focused attention.

"Tai?" She replied.

"The police found out where you are thanks to that driver!" Finally, some good news. "The car you're in is heading South on the freeway!"

Sora overhead the policeman on the phone. "License plate number 167-FP8, Maroon Toyota 2009, owner's name is Fujiyashii Mokoto, age 45, Female."

"No..." It couldn't be true. "No, that's not..." Why would he say that? It wasn't a woman who kidnapped her. "Why is it wrong?" She murmured over the phone. Why did the system bring up false information?

"..." Tai stood silent over the line hearing Sora's murmuring.

"Why are they saying that, Tai?"

"..." No response.

"Tai, why did they give out incorrect information?" Sora raised her voice wanting to hear his answer, something that would prove her right.

"It's not incorrect information, Sora. Whoever these men are, they switched their license plates with the woman named Mokoto. They knew what they were doing..."

"Switched?" Sora fell in disbelief. Her hopes of being rescued were slimming down extremely, so now what she expected to do? "Why are they doing this to me? What is it exactly that I did to cause them to do this to me?" The back of her hand covered her eyes, but it didn't stop her tears from flowing down once more.

"We'll find out when we catch them, Sora!"

"What if...?" Even the words she wanted to speak stung her to reality. "What if I don't make it out, Tai? What would happen to us then?"

We will work this out, we will keep our hopes high enough to where we actually do find you and beat the shit out of those guys, and then what happens to us, Sora? You tell me what happens when after we get you free from them, huh?"

She admired his confidence, and his strength. He wasn't giving up on her being free from these men. What could have been the reason for her lack of hope?

"Tell me Sora, what happens then?"

"...I'd hug you until the next morning." Sora responded.

"Then that's exactly what we'll do when we see each other again, alright?"

"...Alright."

"Stay strong, Sora. You have to stay strong...for me."

Sora's mouth opened a fragment of what she wanted to. The speed of the car she rode in began to decrease, and once again she panicked. She had to tell Tai quickly before they make a quick sudden move.

"Stopping?" Tai spoke. "Okay, I'll make this short! Do not hang up on your phone Sora, place it right back in her back pocket as much as you can. I want to hear everything that goes, okay?"

"Okay," Her eyes closed tightly feeling the momentum if the car come to a stop.

"Stay strong," were Tai's last words before she stuck her phone in her pocket, and then heard the doors of the car slam shut. Their footsteps pressed against the pebbles of the ground that came closer and closer to the trunk.

Sounds of unlocking the trunk ringed through her ears and once the trunk opened, her eyes were exposed to the sunlight and dilated to the readjustment. "Get your ass out of there," A strong hold on her wrist dragged Sora out from the trunk forcibly. The man that dragged her out had been in his mid-30 with a tank top, a bald head, tattoos crawling up his skin and a built body structure.

"Look at what the bitch did to my car!" His companion, a thinner man with a cigarette in his mouth, slammed the trunk pointing out the damage. His hair bleached out and had fewer tattoos on his skin than his partner. "Now I have to fix this! And where the fuck is the transportation?"

"To your left, you fucking dip shit." The tattooed man dragged Sora from one car to the newer one. The cigarette man reached into his pocket and pulled out a new say of keys pressing a button from his chain watching the trunk pop open. "Get in, woman."

Again. They're placing her in a trunk once again. "Get in, you bitch!" The tattooed man shoved her in impatiently closing the trunk soon after she had been shoved inside.

"At least she didn't scream the other girl sure had a pair of lungs with her." Sora heard them say.

"Yea she did, but it wasn't like anyone would hear her. But the boss finally placed her right with the other girls."

Others? This wasn't their first time kidnapping people then! But why would they only kidnap women? What was really going on with them?

"That's right, and it was a great pay day for us too." The two shared a chuckle out of their evil deeds. They opened their own doors, slammed them shut, started their car and began to head South once more. Sora quickly reached into her pocket pulling out her phone and placing it on her ear.

"Tai?" She asked.

"...I heard everything, Sora. You're in a different car then?"

"...Yes, I am."

"Shit," He muttered hearing him kick some poor thing that his foot could get to. "What am I going to do?"

What did they mean by others? What could they have possibly been paid for doing? Kidnapping women and then what? What is it exactly do they do once they arrive with their boss? Thoughts after thoughts rushed into her mind on the possibilities that would occur if they ever stopped again. Women being kidnapped then, raped, killed blew over the news every month. Perhaps, these men, were the people behind all those families suffering after losing one of their loved ones?

Her mother, wherever she was at, would she mourn her death after becoming the newest story on the new station? Sora left their conversation on bad terms, and now she's regretting her words. "This is how it's supposed to be..."

"Sora?"

"My punishment for leaving my mother and I in bad terms, Tai. What a stupid little girl I am."

"Sora, don't say that! This isn't punishment for your relationship with your mother! This has nothing to do with your mother at all. So don't think that, no matter what kind of relationship you two have, I'm positive that she's worried sick, searching for her daughter at the moment and wondering what could she have done to prevent herself from doing what she had done to you and herself."

"..."

"You're just as concerned about her as she is to you. Right now, it may seem hopeless, but I'm here talking to you from miles away knowing that my hope for your safe return will be very soon. And when you do return, the first thing we'll do together is confront your mother. Having a bad relationship with your either of your parent, is something not every child should go through. Believe me on this, Sora..."

"Tai,-"

"Aww," Sora turned her head over to her side quickly. Her eyes wide and teary frightened at his face that popped out from the back of the passengers seats. "Are you talking with your boy toy, sweetheart?"

His hand reached out for her arms forcing his strength to kick in from the troublesome struggling of the woman. He stuck his entire torso into the back of the trunk from the opening from the passenger seating to grab a better hold on Sora. She struggled, grunted and yelled through the phone line with Tai. And all he could do is hear every struggle through his ears.

"Sora! SORA! What the hell is going on?!" Grunting, and then yelling. "Let her go, you bastard! LET HER GO!"

A loud thump was heard and then silence followed. His mouth slightly opened, eyebrows furrowed from the suspenseful fight and eyes wide open from the frustration and shock of his helplessness. "...Sora!" He yelled through his phone. "SORA!"

"...Sorry," On the other line, his voice was heard, breathing hard from the little struggle he went through with Sora. "But she's unavailable at the moment."

"Listen to me, you bastard! When I get my hands on you, I will make sure to break every bone in your body!"

"Good luck."

It is good to write again for this story! I hope the lack of updating was covered by this chapter! It's been so long but now I am starting to write for this story again!
