Mai's POV

----------------------

We made it to the bottom of the stairs in relative silence except for our footsteps and Marik's rude remark when someone missed a step (or two). After passing what seemed like fifty doors Seto finally chose one to his liking. The group of us stood around the door waiting for Yugi to put in the access code when Tristan asked what happened down here. I believe that the three of us all had the same question (Joey, Tristan, and I) and Tristan was the brave one of us to ask. Seto glanced a bit nervously to Moshi and Marik, (That's amazing that he has another expression than I'm-as-cold-as-an-iceberg-and-I-have-a-big-stick-stuck-up-my-ass look he usually has on.) and then began.

"Two hours our department, S.T.A.R.S, were given a warning by Red Queen, of a lock down. We are here to assess what the situation is and assist any employee we find…alive."

And that means….

"And that means what?" asked Joey. Wow! I think I have some sort of super power here.

" It means that no one knows what's going on in there. Only the people behind that door knows what happened in there, for all we know every last one of them is dead, dumb ass." Finished Seto angrily. I watched as Joey and Tristan slacked jawed, and Brock and Derrick exchange nervous glances. I don't think that was the answer they were expecting, I know I wasn't.

--------------------

Normal POV

--------------------

The doors smoothly slid open, Marik and Moshi stepped in, guns poised for an unexpected enemy. The remainder of the group waits on the other side of the door for a cue to move in. Mai strained her ears listening for a sound. There was only silence,

One

She moved her head slightly trying to see the two blonds.

Two

Mai could only make out a dark blob camouflaged in with the equally or more dark background.

Three

It was like a box, almost. With noodles coming out of the sides… 'Why am I counting to five?'

Four

'Mmm…. Spaghetti sound good right about now.' Thought Joey.

Five

'What happens when I get to six….?'

Six

"What the…"-"Hell?" finished Moshi for Marik. The group hiding behind the doorframe let out the breath they didn't realize they were even holding. Seto was the first to move asking the long awaited question as soon as he passed through the threshold.

"What the fuck is going on in here?" He asked glaring at his two subordinates. His anger rose seeing the two's slacked poster and weapons hanging limply from their hands. Seto opened his mouth to get them to attention when…

"What in the world is this place?" asked Tristan as he entered the room.

"It is supposed to be the cafeteria." Said Yugi answering the brunette's question looking down at his palm polite.

The room was dimly lighted, were the tables used to be for hungry employees now stood rows after rows of mettle containers. A capsule was a better word for it considering the bolted doors. There were narrow windows on each of the four sides. Mai was right to guess noodles, though in reality they were pipes sticking out in odd places meeting together at a wide pipe snaked across the floor.

Joey estimated about six rows across and ten deep. Joey started forward to the closes one but was blocked by Brock and Derek on either side. Joey glared at the two them slunk back to the wall leaning against it.

Seto nodded to the two men telling them to wait. He then brought his gun up to his shoulder then with a quick wave forward motioned everyone else to search to room.

Mai POV

---------------

I moved down the row closest to the wall on the right side. I passed about five containers when I stopped

What if Isaw someone? What would I do? I didn't have any weapons. I-…

A screeching sound like nails on chalkboard rang through my head. I shut my eyes bringing my hands up to my ears shutting them hoping to cease the noise.

Images of a dry forest came into my mind.

A white angel, wings out stretched looked sadly down at me.

"I have maps, passwords, keys, the works…."

What was going on? Who was talking? It sounded so familiar…

"Will it be enough?" asked a young feminine light voice.

"I have everything to take this corporation down…" said the older feminine voice.

Again I heard the horrible sound, except this time it grew until a high pitch screech swallowed it. I forced my eyes open. There was no screeching sound except the fait footsteps of the S.T.A.R.S.members walking and my heavy breathing. I stared straight ahead I was facing the sixth container in the line. I stared at the window on the side. I saw the darkness ripple.

I stepped forward, my brain told my body not to just keeps on walking but my legs didn't listen.

I was almost close enough to see past the glare of the lights reflecting off the smooth surface. A dead silence seemed to surround the box. I leaned in even closer.

"Mai!"

I jumped in the air letting out a scream only for it being muffled by a hand clamped over my mouth.

"Shhhh…" I recognized the voice, Tristan….

He let go of me and I turned, "Tristan, I…"

"Don't worry about it, these things are a bit creepy. Aren't they?" He asked knocked lightly on the side of the one I was standing next to.

I nodded lowering turning my head trying to hide my blush. He was standing so close I could smell his aftershave.

"Hey, lovebirds do that another time!" yelled Moshi from the next isle.

'How does she do that?'

Joey POV

-------------------

I looked at my guards. Neither of the two looked like they would be any fun with at a party. Never mind a party anywhere! Well except maybe Jurassic Park…then they can be dino food while I run.

Now thinking about it, and boy it looks like I got a lot of time to think, I don't think any of the people here would be great to have at a party. Every one here seems to have a six-foot branch stuck up their ass or goes off to their room to make love with books (coughTea/Yugicough). Well with an exception of Marik and Mai. Well, maybe Marik if your idea of a party is setting a house on fire and watching it burn….

But Mai on the other hand, boy, she would be great dancing on my….

No, I have a job to do. My sis is counting on me.

Now, how to get out of these handcuffs.
