Shane and Dustin sat behind Cam in Ninja Opts as he kept trying to find Tori.

"I can't find her at all." Cam sighed. "It's like looking for a needle in a haystack." Shane and Dustin both sighed as well and rubbed their faces tiredly.

"I just wished something would happen." Dustin replied. "Or that we knew something. I mean, for all we know, Tor could be-"

"Don't." Shane said. "Don't even think that."

"I'm not trying to sound like I'm loosing hope, but-"

"Dustin." Shane said sternly. "Tori is fine, and we will find her, we will get her back. And we will beat those Thunder Ranger's asses to a bloody pulp." Dustin looked at his friend and nodded.

"Right, I'm sorry."

Tori looked up as the door to her cell opened up. She saw The Navy Ranger walk in carrying something.

"Well, the good cop returns." She smirked. The Navy Ranger chuckled.

"At your service." He shut the door behind him and walked over. He set down what he was carrying, which was a plate of food before her. Tori looked at him quizzically. "Well, I think the captor's etiquette does say that a captor should not let the captive starve." He said.

"Well, the captive's etiquette entails that the captive has the right to refuse." She said, her smirk fading. She didn't want to give this guy any thought that she was going to fall for the 'good cop' thing and allow him to smooth talk and such with her. The Navy Ranger uncovered the dish and Tori looked at the food. It was her favorite food, tofu stir-fry over brown rice. She blinked. "Uh...Well, I may be kind of hungry." She said. The Navy Ranger chuckled.

"Good to know." He sat back as she began to eat. Tori looked up at The Navy Thunder Ranger.

"Just so you know, if this is all just a ploy to gain my trust so I'll spill the deepest darkest secrets of The Wind Rangers, it's not going to work." The Navy Thunder Ranger looked at her.

"Oh, and why's that?"

"Well, a. I'd never turn on my friends, and b. I'll never trust you."

"Ouch." He replied. "That stung a little."

"I'm just being truthful." Tori said.

"Well, I guess honesty is the best policy." The Navy Ranger replied.

"Mmm-hmm." Tori said as she ate the rest of the food.

"Although, why do you feel you'll never trust me?" He asked. Tori looked at him.

"Shall we count the reasons?" She asked. "Well, lets see, you stole my friend's plans for the tsunami cycle, I don't know how you got your hands on them by the way, you've attacked me and my friends repeatedly, and, oh yeah, you kidnapped me." She said.

"Ever heard of forgive and forget?" He chuckled.

"He asks while I'm still being held captive." Tori remarked. The Navy Ranger looked at her.

"Tori," he began, his voice losing all its humor. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you." He said. Tori looked at him.

"What?" She asked. Something about the way he said that scared and reassured her at the same time.

"I'm not going to let anyone hurt you. I may be your enemy or whatever, but that doesn't mean I exactly want you to get hurt." He stood up, picking up the now empty plate. Tori looked up at him as he left.

"Thank you." She said. "I still don't trust you though." The Navy Ranger looked at her. "At least, not totally." She added.

"Well, that's something I guess." He said as he left.
