Chapter 7
Voltaire snarled as he heard the sound of someone knocking on the door. The doors opened and Voltaire sighted the servant with his unconscious grandson. He signalled the servant to come in, and to drag Kai behind him. Rei looked on in shock as the Butler dragged Kai into the centre of the room. "Now, strip him." Rei heard Voltaire order the butler. Rei eyed Voltaire and watched him smirk as the butler obeyed his command. Voltaire ordered him to bind Kai's hands together. Suddenly Voltaire's eyes looked straight at him, boring into him. Rei felt his blood run cold. "We're going to have some fun with your...lover," Voltaire said, smirking even more so now.

Max and Tyson ran out of the Hotel and onto the street, trying to wave down a cab, while Kenny hurried after them trying not to drop his laptop. It wasn't long before they were headed for Mr. Dickenson's office. When they arrived, they had to use all the money they had bought just to pay for the cab fee, since the driver wouldn't let them out until they did. Kenny was the first out of the cab and into the building, arriving at the secretary's desk and asking her where he could find Mr. Dickenson. He lead Tyson and Max towards the nearest lift, since Tyson refused to take the stairs when there was a perfectly good, working lift.
Jumping off the lift, Kenny looked up and down and the various passageways of office rooms on this floor. He remembered he had only asked the floor level but not the location. 'Baka,' he thought. "You two take the left section, I'll take right, and pplleeaassee don't get yourselves into any trouble," Kenny said. Max and Tyson shrugged as the headed off down the left passageway, looking for any signs that would direct them to Mr. Dickenson's office. Kenny, who had gone and asked for the location, soon called them back.
Kenny quickly led them down to Mr. Dickenson's office, knocking hastily before opening the door and walking in. Mr Dickerson didn't even have time to say anything, because Kenny and Tyson had already sat down. Max tried to quickly fill Mr. Dickenson in on what had happened yesterday. After having sat and listened to Max and Kenny's stories, Mr. Dickenson picked up his office phone, only to be stopped by Max. "Ah, sir, we can't call the police. That's the one thing Kai told us not to do."
Mr. Dickenson laughed, slightly surprising the others before saying that he knew a guy, who knows a guy, who works with some people who are working against Voltaire after a kid came to the police station reporting abuse from the Russian abbey and Hiwatari Mansion. This got the remaining BladeBreakers attention. "The boy was naturally turned away when some agents got a hold of him, and he told them what he knew. It wasn't a good enough link to go to court with," Mr Dickerson continued to explain, "Actually, I think one of the agents was trying to get a hold of Kai to get him to testify against his grandfather," he added. Max and Tyson remembered the guy they saw when leaving the Hiwatari Mansion. They were about to say something but Mr. Dickenson asked them politely to wait in the room outside before making a quick phone call.
Kenny and Max sat down in the two seats provided while Tyson sat on the floor. "Would Kai really give information on his grandfather?" Kenny asked after some time of silence. "I guess. I mean, they don't exactly like each other, do they?" Tyson said and Max nodded. "I'd say defiantly, now that Voltaire has gotten Rei involved." There was a all round agreement from Kenny and Tyson.

Voltaire sat waiting behind his desk, his cold eyes watching the currently motionless form of his grandson. He noticed him beginning to wake. Voltaire looked up, signalling to the butler, who quickly rushed over to his 'masters' desk. The butler nodded, stepping away from the desk and quickly moving towards Rei, a gag, and a dagger in hand. Rei couldn't do anything but watch in shock, too scared of the knife to move, as the butler put the gag on. Voltaire stood up, his cane in hand once more. He slowly walked meaningfully around the desk to stand over Kai as he regained consciousness. Kai opened his eyes, though they were slow to adjusting to the dimly lit room. He looked around he finding he was where he doesn't want to be; Inside Voltaire's office, where the dreams start.
