DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM

"Now what happened to all of the keys?"

Taeko open her eyes to the sound of shouting.

"What's wrong sir?"

"All of the keys are gone, just gone!"

Taeko smiled and reached underneath her pillow, feeling the keys in her hand.

"Oh this will be bad,"

"I'll say! Hang on; maybe Hyota has a spear somewhere!"

Taeko sneaked out and poked her head out of her room where she saw the nice butler standing near the stair case.

"Piss," she whispered.

Masato turned and looked saw Taeko poking her head out.

"How did you get out of your room?" he whispered. Taeko held up the keys.

"How did you…," Masao started to say only to be interrupted by the sound of foot beats on the stairs. Masao waved Taeko back into her room.

"Who were you talking to?" asked Koki.

"What are you talking about?" asked Masao.

"You were talking to someone," said Koki.

"Are you as dumb as you are big?" asked Masao.

"How big am I?" asked Koki looking over his muscles.

"Oh and by the way I found something out," said Masao walking over to Taeko's room door and pulling it open.

"How did you do that?" asked Koki.

Masao looked over at Taeko who was looking at them.

"Not here," he walking over and giving Taeko her food.

"Thank you," said Taeko smiling at him. Masao winked at her.

Masao quckily shut the door and turned to Koki.

"I think that someone forgot to lock this door when they were out here last," he said.

"You sure?" asked Koki.

"Of course, how else would you explain why this door was opened with no key? It's not like the little girl knows they lock from the outside with a key and stole all the keys herself right?" asked Masao.

"Yeah that sounds about right," said Koki.

"Very well then, As long as she doesn't find out that her door is unlocked she won't make any attempt to escape right?" asked Masao.

"Yes that's true," said Koki.

"So for now lets just let it is all right," said Masao.

"All right," said Masao.

Taeko giggled to herself. It was nice that the butler hadn't ratted her out that she had the keys.

She reached over and took them again.

'How can I use these to my advantage though? That's the real question,' she thought.

Haruhi sat on her table twiddling her thumbs nervous.

"Haruhi,"

Haruhi jumped up and looked behind her.

"No need to get jumpy it's just me," said Kyoya taking the seat across from her.

"Oh right," said Haruhi. Kyoya took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry that things went south last night. I am going to try and figure out who went and told and sent those text messages to those idiots," he said.

"What are you going to do about them?" asked Haruhi.

"I was thinking hanging them over a pit of alligators," said Kyoya.

"That's not what I meant," said Haruhi giving off a sigh "Are you ever going to resolve things with them?"

"It's going to take a lot of time," said Kyoya.

"Kyoya, please, don't do this," said Haruhi, "You've been through too much with all of them to stop being friends with them."

"Yes well those times didn't result in either loosing my daughter or ruin my chances to get her back!" said Kyoya.

'This kidnapper took more then our daughter, they may wind up taking our friendships,' thought Haruhi sadly.

"So then what's your next form of plan?" asked Kyoya to his captain.

"At this point we're waiting to see if the kidnapper calls again. He sounded rather angry when he called last so it's hard to say what he may try next.

Haruhi listened gripping her knees tight.

'I wonder it I should just tell him, just tell him that kidnapper called me. But then again he said he'd know if I did. He knew how to get my new number, and somehow he knew that the guys had showed up with Kyoya last night.

"Haruhi?"

Haruhi jumped again.

"Are you really okay Haruhi?" asked Kyoya, "You seem agitated even more then before."

"I don't know, maybe I need to go out for a while, get some air," said Haruhi as she stood up and headed to the door.

"Would you like an escort?" asked the captain.

"No!" said Haruhi. Kyoya, the captain and the other officers all looked over at her confused.

"I mean no, that won't be necessary. I'll be fine," she said quckily throwing on her coat.

"Haruhi," said Kyoya walking over to her and placing his hands on her shoulders, "Are you sure you're all right?"

"Yes I'm fine, I just, I just, need some time to myself, get my own thoughts in order," said Haruhi, "I haven't been outside the house really since this whole thing started.

"All right, but keep your new cell phone on you at all times," said Kyoya.

"I will I promise," said Haruhi. She got a sudden surprise when Kyoya gave her a sudden kiss. "You have to keep faith in our police force Haruhi. They're doing their best to find her," he said.

"I know," said Haruhi before hurrying out. The minute she was out the door of the building, she walked off down the street to the near by bank where she deposited her own money. She had her own separate account with her own money from her job as a lawyer, mainly since they never seemed to need or use it. She mostly kept it there to save for a rainy day or to help her dad out when he needed it. Kyoya sure didn't seem to bother with it. He hopefully wouldn't notice if she were to suddenly take $500.00 out. Haruhi couldn't help but feel that was a rather small amount considering how much they had asked from Kyoya the other day. Well as long as it helped get her daughter back then it would be worth it!

After she got the money and walked home she had to start thinking about how she'd get out of the home again tonight without arousing suspicion.

She kept thinking about that for the rest of the night, locking herself in her room to think alone. She didn't even realize how late it is until she heard Kyoya knocking at the door.

"Haruhi, are you in there still?" asked Kyoya.

"Uh yes," said Haruhi opening the door, "Any thing new?"

"I'm afraid not," said Kyoya.

"Oh," said Haruhi disappointed. She decided to take advantage of the situation.

"I need to go out again," she said walking past Kyoya to the door.

"At this late at night, it's rather dark and cold out," said Kyoya.

"I know, I just need some more air," said Haruhi.

"Well, will you at least take an escort this time?" asked Kyoya.

"No!" said Haruhi. Kyoya eyed her.

'That's the second time she's snapped at me like that,' he thought.

"I mean, I really just want to be alone. I may just drive around in my car," said Haruhi running out the door before Kyoya could say another word.

Kyoya watched her run down the hall. He was starting to feel tempted to either follow her himself or have someone else follow her. But at the same time he decided to keep trusting her, for now.

As Haruhi drove up towards the park, she could feel her heart thumping more and more. She gripped her steering wheel tight.

'You doing this for Taeko, you're doing this for Taeko,' she kept telling herself in her mind. She looked around the dark empty park; the only light she could see was coming from a lamp post a few feet away from her.

'So what do I do? I've never done anything like this before,' she thought.

Suddenly a man appeared neared the lamp post wearing a long dark coat. He shot a glance over to Haruhi in her car. She could feel her blood run cold.

'Well he fit's the profile,' she thought timidly as she slowly got out of her car. She carefully walked over to the man.

"You the Ohtori Woman?" he asked.

"Are you the one I'm suppose to meet?" asked Haruhi.

"Yes, yes I am," said the man, "So you got the money?"

Haruhi reached into her purse and pulled out an envelope with the money. She held it up to the man who quickly snatched it from her. He opened it and counted the money. An evil smile spread across his face.

"Good work," he said tucking the envelope in to his coat.

"So now, what about my daughter, are you going to give her back?" asked Haruhi.

"Go home;" said the man, "My associate will call you there."

"But what about my daughter?" asked Haruhi.

"Go home and wait for him to call. He'll work it out with you there," said the man before walking away into the dark.

Haruhi stood there for a moment not sure what to do. Finally she walked back to her car and drove home.

She opened the door quietly and tiptoed into the apartment. She could hear talking coming from the living room, and as she walked past it to see Kyoya and the police force talking. She wondered if they found anything new to day. She decided not to bother them and walk to her room before they saw she was back.

"Good work," said Joji holding the envelope with the money.

"Of course," said his man.

"I'm going to go call the mother," said Joji grabbing his phone and voice alter device, "Bring me the girl!"

Taeko made sure to count again as she was dragged from her room to wherever it was the big muscle man was taking her. She reached 10 again right as the man stopped and put her down on the floor.

"Guess what sweetheart," she heard the voice of the glasses man say to her. "You're going to get to talk to your mother again."

"I am?" asked Taeko happily.

"Yes," said her captor.

RING RING RING

Haruhi quckily answered her phone, "Hello?"

"Hello Mrs. Ohtori, you did good tonight,"

"So does this mean you're going to give my daughter back?" asked Haruhi.

"No, I'm sorry, not this time,"

"What, well why not?" asked Haruhi.

"This was just a test to see if you could follow orders better then your husband could. But since you did good with your instruction I will let you talk to her,"

"Mommy?"

"Takeo!" said Haruhi happily.

"Mommy, Mommy!" said Takeo happy to hear her mother's voice again.

"Oh my god honey, honey I love you so much!" said Haruhi.

"I love you too Mommy," said Taeko.

"I think they're going to let you come home honey," said Haruhi.

"Really, I'd like that," said Taeko.

"I know me too," said Haruhi.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Ohtori, but that's going to happen soon,"

"Oh," said Haruhi disappointed about both not getting to talk to her daughter some more and what the kidnapper had said, "Well, what do you want me to do now?"

"Bring another $500.00 to the same place at the same time one week from now, and again do not say anything to anyone about this!"

"And if I do this, you'll give her back?" asked Haruhi.

"Well see,"

"Well if you're not sure then why the hell should bring you the money?" asked Haruhi.

"Do you not want to hear from your daughter again?"

Haruhi blood ran cold again.

"That's what I thought. So like I said, $500.00 next week same time same place tell no one!"

"This is getting out of hand. Am ever going to get my daughter back?" said Haruhi.
