2. The Wind Brings Answers

'Oh my God, I can't believe this is happening…' Serenity thought to herself, 'You are so stupid, Serenity! What have you got yourself into?'

She tried to move, but the cold touch of the knife on her neck prevented her from getting away. 'Oh God,' she thought, 'What does he want?' She didn't know what else to do except wait for the man to tell her what he wanted. She stopped struggling and just waited, her eyes wide with fear.

She felt him lean over her shoulder and next to her ear. He then whispered to her, "You're going to come with me, little lady, and we're gonna go for a ride." His breath was sour in her face and she winced.

He continued, "See that white van over there?" He turned her head so she could see it in the distance. "Well," he said, "we're just going to calmly walk over there and get in. If you even think about moving, well, haha, let's just say that you'll have other things to worry about then what will happen to you later."

He pushed her ahead with his body and they began walking towards the van. Serenity felt her chest heave in fear as they approached the vehicle. Her hazel eyes searched everywhere for some way she could run, some way she could escape. But she saw none.

She resorted to thinking about an escape plan in her mind. There was no way she had any intention of staying passive throughout whatever he planned to do with her.

Suddenly her thoughts were broken as the white van loomed ominously in front of her. The man, once kindly, now threw her in roughly as the van's side door opened. Apparently, there had been an accomplice inside of the van waiting for them to get there. Serenity grunted as she hit her head on the other side of the van from the force of the first man's throw. Then he quickly got in after her and the van sped away.

Serenity looked up, dazed, to see the man's fist come crashing down on her before she lost consciousness completely.

'Yeah! I'm gonna love that job!' Joey thought, as he walked into the small apartment that he shared with Serenity. It was dark inside.

'Hmmm…' Joey thought, 'Wonder where Serenity is? Usually she's makin me dinner or somethin.' With that thought, his stomach began to growl.

He turned on the light and went over to the notepad by the phone. 'Hey Joey…I'm at the park…be back soon!' he read. "The park!" Joey said out loud, "What's she doin there? She should be home by now! She knows I don't like her going out in this creepy neighborhood alone…" He frowned, then looked at the clock. The numbers 7:23 PM glowed back at him. 'Geez, it's so late…' he thought. Then he glanced out the window. 'And it's gettin really dark out there…yeah, she should definitely be home by now.' Joey thought, beginning to get worried. 'Well, I better go find her. Dinner can wait.'

He placed the pad back down by the phone and picked up his car keys again. Then he walked over to the door and opened it, sighing as he closed it behind him. He was going to go find his sister.

'Fucking Imbeciles.' Kaiba thought. 'How hard is it to find good help these days?' He was alone, standing in the front lobby of KaibaCorp where he had found that the main entrance was locked. 'There's supposed to be a guard in every corridor!' he thought angrily. He needed that guard to let him out.

He quickly walked over to the receptionist's desk and picked up the phone. 'Damn it!' he thought, looking at all the buttons and not knowing which one to press to call the guards. He set his briefcase down on top of the desk and ran a hand through his neat brown hair, making it not-so-neat anymore.

'There are so many damn buttons on these phones!' he thought. Usually, whenever he needed a security guard or anyone while in his office, he just told (yelled at) his secretary to get them via his intercom. That only required the push of one button. 'I should really find better help.' he thought.

"Arrrrggggh!" he said angrily, slamming the phone down so hard that it echoed throughout the building. 'There, maybe now someone will come.' he thought bitterly, but, after a few minutes when no one showed up, he began to see red.

He looked around again and noticed a walkie-talkie lying on the far end of the desk. He quickly picked it up and turned it on.

"This is Seto Kaiba," he said menacingly into it, "and if anyone values their job, then they better get their ass down to the front lobby right away and open this door for me if they know what's good for them."

A reply came back immediately. "Y-Yes, Mr. Kaiba Sir, I-I-I'm so sorry to keep you waiting, Sir."

"Just get down here." Seto said back, and quickly turned off the walkie-talkie. He set it down and grabbed his briefcase.

The guard appeared around the corner and hurriedly walked over to where Seto was waiting.

"I-I'm s-so sorry, Mr. Kaiba Sir, please, Sir, fo-forgive me, Sir…" As he passed by Seto to open the door, Seto inhaled sharply and the bitter smell of marijuana smoke entered his nose. His eyes narrowed as he glared at the back of the guard, who was busy fumbling with his keys.

"So, where were you?" Seto asked him, icily.

The guard opened the door and turned to Seto. "Oh, ah, n-nowhere Sir, I-I just thought I h-heard a n-noise at the other end o-of the building, Sir." He smiled nervously at his boss.

"Oh, I see." said Seto, "even thought there are numerous guards all over this building, you went to check it yourself instead of radioing it in. Makes sense, un-hun. And I suppose you found something to make it worth your effort while I waited here so…patiently." Seto smirked cruelly at the guard as he saw the man's eyes widen.

"Umm, well, S-Sir, n-no, it was nothing." The guard averted his eyes to the floor, not willing to see Seto's gaze boring into him.

"Yeah, I'm sure it wasn't." Seto said. "I'm also sure that you'll have plenty of time to look for nothing while you're at home without a job."

The guard looked up. "No, p-please Sir, I have a family that I need to take care of, a-and—"

Seto cut him off sharply and said, "I'm sure you take real good care of them while you spend all of your money on weed!" The guard opened his mouth but no words came out.

Seto continued, "Did you honestly think you could hide it from me? Fool. Now give me your keys and your badge and get out right now."

The man silently handed him the belongings and walked out.

"Idiot." Seto said, striding out and locking the door behind him as he steeped out into the cool night. He turned around and looked up at the sky. There was a bright full moon, and, as he looked towards the dark parking lot, a cold wind blew and ruffled his dark hair. He closed his eyes and breathed in deeply, trying to clear his mind. He was more awake now.

After standing that way for a few minutes, briefcase in hand and trenchcoat flowing around him, he opened his eyes and started walking toward the parking lot where he had parked one of his many luxury cars that morning. He had driven his black M3 BMW to work today. He could have had the limo pick him up, but he wanted time to think alone tonight. He had a lot of things on his mind.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Joey screeched his car to a halt and managed to run over a curb as he reached the park. Not caring, he got out and looked around. 'Damn, where is she?' he thought.

He closed his car door and his eyes searched the park for any sign of life. It was deserted.

Starting to get scared, he decided to go through the park just to make sure.

"Serenity!" he called out, waiting for an answer. After none came, he started jogging through the park, looking for any trace of her. "Serenity!"

The wind blew again and some papers blowing around nearby caught his eye. He noticed they were coming from one of the picnic tables. "Serenity." he said softly to himself as he raced over to the table. There were two books lying on it as well as a few papers. He recognized his sister's handwriting and looked around. She was gone.
