Chapter Eight-Don't Tala!
"What do you want? Don't you realize that I don't want to talk about girlfriend to a bunch of strangers?" Tala yelled into the phone. "Get a god damn heart."
"Tala!" A female voice squealed and it sounded like she was crying.
"Who is this?" Tala asked suspiciously.
"Tala-It's April."
Tala almost fell over. "April? April? Is that seriously you?"
"Yah Tala. Listen, this guy wants to meet you in thirty minutes in the old fields behind Kai's house. Bring REi but no one else. And please-" April paused. "Please don't tell anyone else. I don't want to get more people hurt than I have to. And Tala-remember that locket that's I have in my top drawer of my dresser? Bring that will you?"
Tala cleared his throat. "Sure but don't you think we should tell the police or something?" Tala took a deep breath. "I can't stand the thought of losing you." April said nothing and the line went dead.
Kai closed the limmosine door and told the driver to take a couple of hours off to go and see his family. The man nodded, happy that he could leave, and pulled away from the curb. Kai stood at the beginning of the small path leading to the gardens.
Kai wondered if he should actually do this, what if it was a huge trap of some sort? What if...
A small sound startled Kai and Kai turned around swiftly. his hand gripping a knife he always had with him for protection, especially right now. Kai brought it up in front of him, his eyes registering tenths of seconds later than his instincts were.
Kai was surprised to find that the person who had surprised him was none other than Tala and Rei.
"What in the hell are you doing here?" Kai asked, pulling his knife away from Tala's chest.
"April toldme to come She just phoned phone me about ten minutes ago." Tala replied.
"That's kinda funny, judging by the fact that she's gone!"
Tala shrugged. "She told me to bring Rei too but no one else. What do you think is going on here?"
Kai stared emptily at the fields. Finally, without shifting his attention, he answered Tala's question with his darkest fear. "I don't know. But whatever it is, it can't be good and if we don't do something about it, we just may never see Shanna or April again."

The two boys, Justin and Jerry, pulled Shanna and April out, keeping them a couple of paces behind the other guy. The one April had been stuck with was obviously in charge.
"Are you alright?" Shanna called to April.
April nodded as Jerry thrusted her violently forward. "You?"
Shanna groaned as Justin kicked her. "Could be better."
"Do you see Kai?" April asked, straining to look into the fields.
Shanna's eyes watered. "No." April could hear Shanna's head fill with fears. "What if he's not coming April? What if he doesn't care what happens to me?'
April sighed and tried to wiggle out of Jerry's grip. "It's okay Shanna, he'll be there!"
"I hope so." Shanna said, whimpering as they were both forced into the field.
April looked up and saw both Tala and Kai standing in the field, their arms crossed and their eyes glaring. Rei stood off to the side, his eyes full of worry and concern. He was obviously wondering why April had wanted him to be here. Rei was shifting nervously from one foot to another as the silent debate went through his head.
"Well well well." Their capturer said to the three boys standing across from him. "Looks like we have the whole gang here."
"What do you want?" Tala asked.
"I simply want to trade." The guy promised. "All I want is Kai's beyblade and April's necklace."
"No way!" Kai exclaimed.
"Then I guess you don't want your girlfriend bacck as badly as I thought you did." He grabbed Shanna and held a knife to her throat.
Kai sighed and pulled Dranzer out of his pocket. Kai looked at it, running his fingers all over it. Then he looked at Shanna, whose eyes were full with terror. He sighed again and tossed Dranzer to the guyu's feet. "Give me Shanna."
The guy grinned and tossed Shanna roughly into Kai, who quickly grabbed her and held her to him tightly.
"Now, give us April." Tala commanded.
"No, you give me that necklace first!"
April could feel tears springing into her eyes. She wanted to be free but she didn't want to have something so precious to her get into the hands of someone so vicious.
April didn't recognize her own voice when she screamed out. "NO TALA!"
Rei stood silently off a little bit to the side, trying to figure out if there was some way he could get whoever was holding April away from her. Unfortunately the other guy, who had been holding Shanna, was watching him very intently. Rei sighed, if he was going to do this it looked like he'd be stuck doing this the hard way.
The scream made everyone jump and Rei's head shot violently to look at April. Why didn't she want Tala to give away such a stupid necklace. She had said herself she'd give it away if she could...
