I have no idea where this chapter came from, it just popped into my brain when I was scribbling in my notebook during class. And I hope people don't hate me for this.

this chapter has been re-uploaded several times, due to some typographical errors and a minor correction in something Mr. Dan said.(i removed the "anyway" because a reviewer said that he was too old to use that kind of slang. heheh. thanks, mizukiandrea!)and thanks to all my wonderful reviwers! you are all so great! thank you thank you!

Chapter 2: A Kidnapping

"I've seen that symbol before," said Shizuko.

"What? Where? How?" asked Kyu. "You weren't with us when we last encountered Pluto. How could you have seen it before?"

"I received an e-mail last night about that Pluto organization. Kind of like an advertisement. I thought it was just junk mail, so I deleted it," answered Shizuko.

Principal Dan sighed. "They've most likely discovered that you were our new student, perhaps, and they sent that message as a tease. They obviously been watching you if they found your e-mail address."

"They're up and running again, and there is no doubt in my mind that will strike us soon."

Mr. Dan gazed out his window. "Very soon."

After Mr. Dan's disturbing announcement, Class Q began walking back to the old school building.

"What exactly has Pluto done to make DDS so incredibly on edge?" asked Shizuko.

"They're an organization that specializes in making murders happen for people who want revenge, or simply want to get someone out of the way. Anyone can come up to them, and, for a fee, get a foolproof plan for their kill," explained Ryuu, who looked a little paler than usual.

"That's right. Most of the cases that we've taken as Class Q have involved them in one way or another," added Meg.

"They even kidnapped Mr. Dan once, and got one of their members to pose as Ms. Katagiri during that time," said Kyu.

"Overall, one of their main goals is to destroy DDS, and Mr. Dan. Have you ever wondered why Mr. Dan is in a wheelchair?" said Ryuu.

"Actually, yes, I have wondered that. He couldn't have been in operations before if he was crippled from birth," said Shizuko. "I chalked it up to some kind of accident."

"The reason why Mr. Dan is crippled now is because Pluto attacked him once during one of their operations. He was lucky enough to be alive. Pluto is merciless. They kill if someone stands in the way of getting their job done. They don't leave people alive," said Ryuu.

"One of the things that make Pluto even more powerful is their ability to hypnotize people into doing their bidding. For example, let's say someone comes to them and asks for a murder plot. They give it to him for a fee, and then, they hypnotize him so that if someone ever discovers the plan, he either kills the person who discovered it, or he kills himself," said Meg, shuddering at the memory of their past cases.

"I see. No wonder Mr. Dan is really worried," said Shizuko.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and turned, peering at something towards her right.

"What is it, Shizuko?" asked Kyu.

"Do you hear that?" asked Shizuko.

"Hear what?" asked Kazuma.

"I thought I heard something. Like a beeping noise."

"Yeah, I think I hear it too," said Kinta. "It's faint, but I can still hear it."
Ryuu's eyes widened. "Oh, no…"

"What is it, Ryuu?" asked Meg.

"We have to get away from here. It could be a—"

BOOM!

A bomb exploded somewhere towards their right. Meg screamed as the force of the blast blew them all away.

As the dust cleared, Kyu got up shakily. "Aw, man…"
Kinta pushed away as much debris as he could off of himself. "Is everyone okay?"
"I'm fine," moaned Meg. "Bruised, but fine."

"That's good. Kazuma, Ryuu, Shizuko? What about you guys?"

"I'm all right," groaned Kazuma.

"I'm okay, I guess. I think I landed on something," said Shizuko.

"Yeah, me," muttered a voice somewhere under her.

Shizuko's eyes widened and she immediately got up off of Ryuu.

"I'm sorry, Ryuu," she said, embarrassed. She helped him to his feet.

"It's all right. I'm okay."

"What has happened?" a voice asked.

Class Q turned towards the voice. Ms. Katagiri was pushing Mr. Dan's wheelchair as fast as she could in their direction.

"Mr. Dan!"
"We heard the explosion," said Ms. Katagiri, slightly out of breath.

"Class Q, are you all right?" asked Mr. Dan.

"We're fine," answered Kyu.

"What's going on?" another voice asked.

Gouda, Saburamarou, Shishido and Kuniko from Class A were all standing behind Mr. Dan.

"A bomb exploded," said Kinta.

"Where's Yuki and Hayato?" asked Kyu.

"What?" Shishido turned around. "They were right behind us a second ago..."

"Yeah, they were. When we heard the explosion, we all rushed out to find out what was going on. There was a mass of students in the hallway, though..." said Gouda.

"Maybe they got lost in the crowd," said Kuniko.

"Or maybe they've been kidnapped," said Saburamarou offhandedly.

"Don't say things like that, Saburamarou!" said Shishido.

"What? I was only kidding," said Saburamarou.

"This is no time for jokes! Can't you see that an evil organization is out to get DDS? How can you be so casual about it?" said Gouda.

"Geez, I'm sorry, then. No need to get all emotional," said Saburamarou.

"Yuki and Hayato still aren't here, guys," said Kazuma.

"They couldn't have gotten that lost in the crowd, it wasn't too much for us," said Shishido.

"Maybe Saburamarou was right," said Kyu hesitantly.

"No way! How could anyone get through DDS's security?" said Gouda.

"Well, they planted a bomb here already, who knows what else they could have done?" said Kyu.

"Pluto has amazing technology, you guys, and their disguises are convincing," said Meg.

"Let's search for them," said Principal Dan, trying to break up the argument.

"There's still a chance that Pluto didn't get them."

Class Q and Class A met up hours later, inside Principal Dan's office. They all looked dejected.

"Any sign of them?" asked Shishido.

Kyu shook his head. "No. Not a trace of them was found."

Gouda sighed. "This is bad, you guys. Pluto managed to infiltrate us, plant a bomb, and kidnap two students, all in one day."

Ryuu was sitting in the couch inside Mr. Dan's office with his arms crossed,a sure sign that he was either thinking, or troubled. (In this case, I'm sure that he was very troubled indeed.) How could Pluto stoop this low? Kidnapping students. The bomb was a diversion so that they could grab Yuki and Hayato, but this isn't like them. They want ME to come back. What do they have planned?

"Guys! Guys! You won't believe this!"

Kyu turned around. "What is it, Kazuma?"

Kazuma looked excited. "I just got a distress signal from YUKI!"

Everyone suddenly reacted.

"What?"

"Where is she?"

"Wait,hold on…" said Kazuma, typing furiously on his laptop. "Whoa!"

"What? Where are they?" asked Gouda.

"They're at an abandoned military base, just outside of the city!"

"An abandoned military base?" asked Shishido.

"I remember that place!" said Meg.

Everyone looked at her. "What?"

"I mean, I haven't been IN it, but I've seen the outside of it. It's a good place to hide out in! There are loads of structures, and they probably still get power from somewhere…"

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" said Kinta, grabbing his jacket and putting it on.

He was about to reach for the doorknob when a voice said, "Wait a moment, Kinta!"
It was Principal Dan.

"You can't just go barging out into the midst of Pluto." Said Mr. Dan.

"But Mr. Dan, we need to find Yuki!" said Kyu.

"I know. So I'm sending Mr. Hongou with you, Class Q. And as for you, Class A, you will have Mr. Nanami with you."

"Aw, man, that grouch is going to be with us..." muttered Kinta sourly.

"What was that, Kinta?" demanded an irritable voice behind him.

"AAH! Mr. Hongou!"

"What were you saying, Kinta?" said Mr.Hongou.

"Ah, nothing, sir. Nothing at all," said Kinta innocently.

"It had better be, or else..." muttered Mr. Hongou. "Class Q! Let's go!"

"Right!" chorused Class Q.

Inside Mr. Hongou's car, Class Q squeezed in. Shizuko wound up in the farthest corner in the back seat of the car. She was wearing her long coat again. And as usual, she looked like she had stepped out of Mr. Hongou's closet.

"What do you think happened to Yuki and Hayato?" asked Kyu.

"They don't seem to have discovered her homing signal yet. It's still going strong," said Kazuma.

"That, or they WANT us to find them," said Shizuko, gazing out the window with a very serious look on her face.

Ryuu stared at her. That's what I was worried about.

Shizuko continued to stare out the window.

Dark clouds billowed outside, making things seem darker than usual, even though it was only early in the afternoon.

Ryuu stared out of his own window. What does Pluto REALLY want?

rants: hahah! I'm leaving you hanging. The next chapter will come soon enough.
