First things first, sorry! Please don't kill me for updating so slowly! * cowers under a bush *. Sorry about that guys, my weekend has been really busy, I had a tennis tournament, but it was raining, so they would call us there, and then tell us to go back. It happened multiple times before they canceled the tournament. I'm extremely sorry and it won't happen again.

Now I'll answer some reviews! A ton of them to answer!

M, I'm sorry for doing this, but it had to be done. They're relationship can't all be sunshine and rainbows.

ImpossibleThings12, It's fine lol. Happy to help.

Christine, Ben's parents thought that some spy school people picked him up early to go to the school. I put it in the chapter I think.

That's all, I hope you guys enjoy chapter 25!

Chapter 25

Emmy POV

I woke up in a dark room. Not exactly a good thing. My wrists were bound with rope and tape was covering my mouth.

It was obvious, someone or multiple people kidnapped me. Back in the palace, I had a distinct, hazy memory of a break in and someone taking me down and grabbing me.

My eyes widened, SPYDER and its allies have probably made their move! It all fit in, the question was though, where was I and what did they want with me?

I tried to move around, but I found out that I was bound by another roop and that someone was blocking my way.

" Ughhh...Let me sleep in peace, " the figure grumbles.

I recognized that annoying voice. It was Mike.

" Wake up you idiot! " I hit him while he sleeps even though we were in danger.

" I'm up, I'm up! What's the big problem anyway, " he grumbles as he wakes up.

" The big problem? The big problem?! We have been captured by SPYDER you nitwit! We have to find a way to escape! "

Mike shot up, a little terror in his eyes. " We have been captured by SPYDER? "

" Yes. "

" Oh no, no no no...First mission and I'm already captured? Man I suck at this, " he says in a moaning voice with his hands in his hair.

" You are, but we need to find a way to get out of here. Do you have any objects that can shine light? "

He looked confused, " Don't you? I mean you are more experienced than I am. "

He was right, I should have some type of thing that gave off light. Unfortunately, I didn't. Sue me, I didn't think I was going to be captured and stuck in a dark room by SPYDER.

" Not this time, " I tell him with my lips tightened.

Smirking, he brought a pen. " This time, the newcomer has the stuff. "

" All I see is a pen. "

He pushed a button and a small light appeared on the tip of the pen.

" Not a pen now huh? "

" Shut up and let's see what's around. "

I took the pen from him and checked out our surroundings. We were in a small room that was devoid of everything except a small water bottle and a couple of energy bars.

Both of us were running on fumes and hunger took the best of us. Even though the water and the bars were probably drugged, we had to eat something.

We split everything in half and quickly finished what we had.

Almost immediately, I felt a strong energy of sleep coming in. Mike's eyes were fluttering.

" Try to fight it, " I whisper.

" That's not happening, " he said while fighting to keep his eyes open.

" You can at least try, " I say to him.

" I tried and I failed, " he said and then promptly slumped on the floor. He was asleep and was snoring.

As I tried to keep my eyes open, I hoped that Ben and the others could get us out.

" I believe in you Ben. "

Line Break

Ben POV

What the heck was up with Erica?!

I tried to talk to her about plans to find out where Emmy and Mike were, but each time she rebuffed me, citing the fact that she was working on it with Cyrus.

Finally, I asked her what I had done after the fifty millionth time of trying to ask her what was going on.

" C'mon Erica! What did I do? Emmy and Mike are in serious trouble and you aren't even letting me in on the plans! "

She fixed a cold hard icy glance I hadn't seen in awhile. The worst part was that she didn't even seem angry, she didn't even show any emotion at all.

" Try asking your Grandfather what is going on, I don't have any time to waste on briefing you what is going on, " she said.

She left without giving me a glance.

Ugh. Why was everything so complicated?!

Anyway, Erica was probably right. She had work to do and I had to get work done. However, I still don't know why she is acting so cold. Maybe because it's work and we had lives on the line?

It didn't matter now, I had to put all my energy on finding Emmy and Mike. I let them be captured and I am not going to let them suffer in the hands of SPYDER.

Extremely sorry for the lateness of this chapter and the shortness. But there are some serious tornado warnings and such in the area. Thunderstorms and the lot, frankly I'm surprised we haven't lost power yet.

Hopefully you guys can forgive me.
