Chapter 6: EEK!!!

Beth continued pacing back and forth as she waited for her irresponsible partner. She couldn't believe that she would just up and leave like this. And before the sun had risen no less! They were right in the middle of planning the museum robbery and Serena had this sudden urge for coffee. So, the blonde agreed to go out and get some, but she promised to be back by nine at the latest.

It was now promptly nine thirty and the bouncy blonde was no where to be found. Never mind the fact that she was *always* late. But, this felt different. Beth felt as though something had happened, something wrong.

A yawn broke the brunette's thoughts. She *was* tired and they *had* been up all night. Maybe she should sit down and wait for her instead of pacing. What good was that doing?

Beth plopped down on the couch and yawned again. Well, maybe she would close her eyes for a few minutes. Beth closed her eyes and a few minutes later, she was sound asleep.

The platinum haired man tapped his fingers impatiently. Sapphire sat nervously infront of him as the man glared. His boss was incredibly angry.

"So, why hasn't Moon Four responded again?" the platinum haired man asked, still glaring at the poor brown haired man.

"I-I don't know sir," Sapphire replied, truthfully. He really didn't know. There was nothing he could really do either except wait for his report from his disciples.

"I'd love to know about the Purple Plan before it's actually set into gear," the boss replied, placing his head in his hand as he put an elbow on his desk.

"I know this may not be the right time, Diamond, but.....," Sapphire looked troubled as he looked around the room nervously. He was now talking brother to brother and not underling to boss.

"Yes, brother?" Diamond asked, his voice bored and neutral.

"Why are we doing this again? We have the legacy of father to uphold and that's enough isn't it?" Sapphire asked, staring intently at his brother. Worry flashed over his features. For a brief moment Diamond saw the child that Sapphire had once been, but the image disappeared just as quickly as it had appeared.

"Father's legacy would've been enough had it not been for the fact that he went bankrupt right before he was murdered. We're in this for the money, Sapphire. We're in this to save our father's legacy," Diamond replied, drawing invisible picture son the desk infront of himself.

A knock was heard on the door and both Diamond and Sapphire turned to stare at it. "Come in," Diamond drawled, still quite unamused.

A woman with long green hair entered the room. She looked very intimidating in the short green skirt and high heeled black boots that reached to her knees. She crossed her arms as she walked to stand infront of Diamond.

"I have something to report to you sir," the woman replied, bowing slightly to Diamond. "But, I'm not quite sure if you want this information."

"Quite clowning around Emerald and spill it," Diamond answered, glaring in annoyance at Emerald. The woman simply shrugged and sighed slightly, as if not intimated at all.

"Well, it seems that Moon Four hasn't responded, but she left this message for you early this morning," Emerald responded, smiling in satisfaction at the slightly interested look she received from Diamond. "She said that she will be reporting in when Purple Plan is set into effect."

"Good," Diamond said, grinning. "That means all is well. All is well."

The room was blurry and the light didn't help much either. Serena couldn't get her eyes to focus correctly. What had happened? She was sure that she had fallen out of the chair at the coffee shop and was now laying on the floor, but floors were soft and warm, were they? So, where was she?

The blonde reached her hands up and rubbed her eyes before she sat up. Her eyes finally focused, but that still didn't help her clarify where she was.

As far as she could tell it was an office and she was laying on the couch, which was a dark mahogany color. The desk was to the right of the couch which faced the door leading to who knows where. Papers were scattered messily across the cherry oak desk and it was so messy that the phone was barely visible form beneath the mess. Behind the desk there was a bulletin board with several things tacked into them. One of them being a calendar.

Serena stood up and the forest green fleece blanket that had been gently placed over her slipped off her and fell to the floor. She glanced to the wall next to the door as soon as she noticed the clock. It read 11:30.

'Wait a minute? 11:30?! Beth is going to *kill* me!!!' Serena's mind raced. She was officially a dead woman. But, first, she had to figure a way out of wherever she was. Unfortunately, before Serena could think of anything, the door handle twitched with life.

Serena glared at the door as it opened. Darien stopped abruptly as he saw the girl staring at him. After his brief surprise, he smiled at her. Serena could do nothing but stare and gawk.

"It's not polite to stare," Darien stated, closing the door and walking to sit down at the chair behind the desk. Serena blushed and plopped back down on the couch.

"Where are we?" Serena questioned, speaking her mind.

"My office," Darien replied, leaning back in his chair and putting his feet on the desk.

"Oh," was all Serena could think to utter. She blinked a few times as she processed this information. 'Oh, gods. That means......we're at the police station. This is definitely *not* the place for me to be. Okay, Sere, don't panic.....whatever you do, *do* *not* panic,' Serena soothed herself. She forced a smile as she cheered herself up.

Serena wandered over to his desk to look at the only two pictures that he had on it. One was of him and a young curly haired woman. They had their arms on each others shoulders. The other was of his and some blonde haired man. The blonde haired man had Darien in a headlock and both were laughing hysterically. "Who's that?" Serena questioned, deciding to be safe and pointing to the blonde man.

"My best friend, Andrew," Darien responded, kicking his feet off the top of his desk. "And the other one is of Jess and me. Mrs. Jessica Mascharka is my partner. She's a big tease and a pain in the butt, but all in all a great person."

"I heard that you ingrate," Jessica replied, crossing her arms after she closed the door. "After all I've done for you, you badmouth me infront of your new girlfriend."

"G-girl.....girlfriend?" Serena stuttered, blushing crimson. "Um, I believe....I mean...we're not...."

"She's not my girlfriend, Jess, for the last time," Darien supplied, rolling his eyes. Serena blushed again. Jessica and Darien then got into a lovable teasing argument as Serena tried to place *why* they looked so familiar. Then, it dawned on her. They were the detectives tracking her case. Oh, blast and damn!
