AN: Ok my head is buzzing with ideas! happy lol This is probably the fastest I have ever submitted a chapter, so I hope it isn't bad...

004 crept down the hallway leading to 009's room. 'I can't believe that ruckus didn't wake up everyone!' The door squeaked and whined on its hinges as he pushed it open wider than it already was. He scowled as he eyed the glassless window. 'I knew something was up.' He sprinted to Dr. Gilmore's quarters and pounded on the door. There was a rustling inside and a sleepy eyed Dr. Gilmore appeared at the entrance.

"What is it 004?" he yawned.

"009 is gone."

"What! Are you certain?" 004 nodded grimly. Dr. Gilmore rubbed his temples and then gasped.

"Did you check on 003!?" 004's eyes widened.

"No! I didn't!" He darted off only to find that she was also missing. The Dr. came up behind him.

"Wake the others."

003 stared out in the direction they had left 009. She could barely see him even with her vision.

"You have done nothing but stare out there this whole time darling." Pierre criticized

"I am not your darling" 003 said matter-of-factly.

"Logan," Pierre said angrily, "Let's be on our way, yes?" 003 began to panic.

"NO!" she cried despairingly. One side of Pierre's mouth crooked into a smile.

"There is another thing you need to learn," he said, "How to obey." With one quick motion he had her tightly by the wrist. He tried to pull her up to stand, but she refused. "No? Well then suit yourself." With that he began to drag her along the ground. He had only taken a few steps, and she was no longer able to see 009.

"JOE!!!!" she screeched. "LET ME GO!" Pierre just threw back his head and laughed.

"You amuse me Françoise!" he continued to drag her. 003 surged with anger.

"I had enough of you in one lifetime. Now I've had more than enough of you in this one!" She turned her hand over in his grasp and scraped her fingernails over his palm. He winced a little but did not let go.

"I'll teach you manners..." she growled. Then she clawed him harder, this time drawing blood. Pierre recoiled, and released her.

"You insolent, little, WENCH!" He roared, as 003 started to run. Logan bounded over and caught her with one strong arm.

"Naughty naughty." he taunted. She twisted in his hold and tried to punch him in the face, but his other hand caught her fist and twisted her arm around. She jerked at the pain but didn't cry. Instead, she went into a sort of inward cell, just like she had in the past when Pierre was in a particularly bad mood...

"I knew you would see things our way darling" Pierre sneered, and ran a hand through her hair. The only move she made was to move her head away from his touch. He narrowed his eyes and then addressed Logan, his gaze still boring into her. "Let us depart, we are almost there." Logan nodded his arm still hooked around the desolate Françoise.

009 suddenly jolted awake, and he felt wet. His hair dripped water in his face. He looked up only to see 004 smiling kindly at him, and holding a glass that just recently had water in it.

"We've been looking all around for you."

"We?" 009 looked past the German Cyborg and saw the rest of them team off in the distance, crowded around the Dolphin. "003!!" he jumped up off the ground and clicked his accelerator running to the ship. 007 almost fell over with the after shock of 009 passing him.

"Blimey! What's got him in a hurry?"

"003 is gone you idiot!" 002 sighed.

"Oh yeah!" 009's head appeared out of the hatch to the Dolphin.

"Come on and get in!!" he exclaimed. With out further hesitation they boarded and were on their way in no time. 009 stood gazing out the windows, his arms folded. He felt a sturdy hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry 009, we'll find her." 005 told him confidently.

"Yes, yes we will." 009 gave 005 a weak smile and then stalked off to talk to 002.

"He really is very worried isn't he?" 008 asked. 005 nodded.

"He always has cared for her, right from the beginning." The two just stood there watching him walk around inspecting things impatiently. Finally he contented himself to sit in his quarters until some word came to him about 003. He sat down, no longer able contain his frustration any longer, and pounded his fist on a small table. He buried his face in his arm. 'I WILL find you 003, and when I get my hands on Pierre, he'll wish his father had never looked at his mother.'

"You see how smoothly things go when you cooperate?" Pierre said happily. 003 sat in a chair on board some kind of air craft. She still had a blank anguished look, and she didn't move her gaze from the floor. "It would be much more pleasurable to talk to you when I can see your face." When she still did not move he pushed her face upward with his hand. "Much better." He forced a kiss on her. It was cold and unfeeling, unlike Joe's which were warm and loving. Her emotional shell broke and she pushed him away.

"Don't...touch me." she warned maliciously. He raised an eyebrow, looking very much irritated.

"Very well then, I guess it would be better to save you for another time." he cackled and strode away leaving 003 to think about how she was going to escape. She watched as Pierre appeared to be having another argument with Logan. Suddenly they stopped as Pierre snatched up his phone and flipped it open. He smirked and walked into another room. Logan followed and turned towards 003.

"Nighty night dear one." That was the last she heard for a while after he whacked her over the head.

"Yes sir, I have captured Françoise. All will be as you planned."

"Excellent" Black Ghost voice came jovial through the speaker. "Do you know if the others are following yet?"

"Yes they are. We made our signal difficult to follow though."

"Why?" B.G.'s tone lost a bit of its victorious spark.

"It makes it less obvious it is a trap. If it was too easy they would be more cautious. We don't want to take that chance do we?"

"Correct. Carry on." Pierre flicked the device shut. 'Watch out 00 Cyborgs. This is the day you finally die.'

AN: ok there's the next chappy. There will be but one more after this, and maybe an epilog type thing. I don't know. I'll just see how things go! It would also be great if you could check out my other stories. School is good for one thing: I get ideas there for some reason, therefore I have a cool idea for another story after I'm finished with this one!
