*At the shops buying coffee* Oh, hi there! Just getting ready to write the next chapter ^_^

And Angie's no-where in sight!

Here's chapter 5

---------------------------

Nicole stepped outside with her new shoes, trying to find Virgil.

"ARGH. Men! Can't even cope with a bit of shopping."

She looked left and right to see if Virgil was there. Unfortunately, he was no-where to be seen. It was as if he had just disappeared.

The limo sped off into the distance and down a dirt track. Inside the limo, several people were talking. Virgil was laid out along one of the seats inside, unconscious.

"I think we killed him."

"Relax, I know he won't die. Not yet at least."

"Why does he want this kid so bad anyway?"

"That's none of your business. You get paid to do things for us, not to ask questions."

"Yeah, yeah. I know."

Virgil stirred.

"What the… how can he waking up? We hit him head on. We must have broken every bone in his body!"

"What did I just say" Replied the other man, his tone still very calm yet serious.

The limo pulled up to an old house and three men got out, carrying Virgil with them.

"Take him into the basement, then we can talk about your pay." This seemed to hurry up the men, and they quickly went into the house, and down to the basement. They literally dumped Virgil on the floor and went back upstairs to collect their pay.

Virgil was lying face down on the floor, it was cold, hard and damp. He started to regain consciousness, but was soon knocked out by a blow to the back of the head. Everything went dark.

Virgil opened his eyes to find himself chained to a wooden table. He could see some symbols on the wall, but didn't recognise them. He saw a dark figure come up to him, and it spoke in a very English, female accent.

"Up already, I see. I guess we will have to increase your dosage."

She proceeded to jab a needle into Virgil's arm, sending him back to sleep.

"Is he out?" A slithery voice asked.

"Yes. He is stronger than I thought. I don't know how much longer it will be before he will become immune to this."

"Well, if all goes according to plan we can get Dante as well as his son. Then we will have 2 sacrifices. Imagine the rewards we will receive for that!"

"I understand. But isn't his son enough? Aren't we just being greedy?"

"Why, yes. Yes we are." He smirked, unaware that Virgil had already become immune to the tranquilliser, and was listening in. He kept quiet, as to pretend to be asleep.

"When can we start the ceremony?"

Later on, at midnight tonight."

---------------------------

Dante was at home watching T.V. He was getting bored, and Virgil was late for his training. It was 7.00. This was quite unlike him. But then again, he was a teenager, so he didn't worry too much. He was just going to ground him until he learnt to be on time.

Dante was startled as the phone rang. He picked it up. It was Nicole.

"Hi, is Virgil there?"

"No, he hasn't come home yet. Wasn't he with you?"

"He was this morning, but he just disappeared after we went shopping."

"Yeah, that would probably do it."

"Yeah, very funny."

"Do you want me to give him a message?"

"No, it's ok. I'll talk to him later. Bye."

Dante put the phone down "Where WAS he?" His thoughts were interrupted by the flip-flap of the letterbox. He went over and picked up the letter. It was simply addressed, Dante.

He opened the letter and two pieces of paper fell out. One was a map with an 'X' marked on it, the other had writing on it. He read the letter; it only had 2 sentences.

Dante Sparda,

We have your son, if you wish to see him again go to the address marked on the map. Come alone, and unarmed.

Dante didn't hesitate; he went to his room, and picked up Ebony and Ivory. He unlocked a case to reveal Alistor, and he sheathed it immediately. He took a look at the map, and headed outside. Someone was going to pay DEARLY for this.
