Henry sighed. It had been a week. An entire week had passed since Rika had
been kidnapped. School was an indistinct blur in his memory. Everyone was on
edge. Even sushi had become completely tasteless.

Henry flopped onto his bed. At least he was handling things better than Takato,
who had bit his nails until the tips of his fingers bled.

"Stay away from that, Terriermon," he said automatically, "It's a science
project."

Something large and heavy fell to the ground, followed by something glass
with a some sort of liquid inside.

"Terriermon! I told you to stay away. . ."

Terriermon was sitting stunned in a chaotic pile of glass shards and a nasty
green mush. He was staring up at something.

"Henry," the small digimon said slowly, "I think I found Rika."

Henry looked up. He felt a sudden jolt of emotion. Rika's violet eyes stared
in from his window.

Henry's mother placed a piping hot cup of tea on the table in front of Rika.

"Thank you," she said and picked it up.

Henry took a sip of his own tea and asked, "So there you were in a dungeon
with no way out. What happened next?"

"Well," she said, "A few days later, a voice whispered through a crack in the
wall to get away from it. It was Ryo. He and Megadramon destroyed the wall and
flew me away before they could follow."

She paused to take another sip of tea.

"They still have my digivice, though. Roland and Renamon are trying to get it
back right now."
