"Thank you for letting me know," I said into the phone. "Bye."
I hung up and took a deep breath. That had been Marco's dad, Jeremy. He had received a ransom note after Marco had been missing for a whole day.
Marco had been kidnapped. Really kidnapped, this time, and not by the Yeerks.
I hurriedly dialed up the other Animorphs and scheduled a meeting at the barn. We needed to find him. Marco, with all his morphing abilities, should have been able to escape.
So he was definitely in deep trouble.
Arriving at the barn, I went inside to see the assorted Animorphs, minus Marco and Ax. The Director of our recent little play had some unfinished business with Ax.
"What do we do now, Jake?" Rachel demanded.
I wasn't completely sure, but I couldn't say that.
"We know from the ransom note that the people holding him prisoner are expecting money tomorrow in the local park. The only possible place to hide Marco that's close enough to the park would have to be in the abandoned trailer park. So I guess that's our best bet. Tobias, Cassie? Scope out the area. Look for any signs of where Marco may be held."
I paused and took a deep breath.
"I think the reason why Marco has not already escaped is either he suspects the kidnappers to be Controllers or…or he isn't able to morph."
The way to stop someone from morphing is to keep them knocked out. Or to kill them.
