SSCC-And now...chapter 3!

3: Close Call

"Welcome to Bay City! I hope that you have a wonderful time in our beautiful city!"

'Damn that woman and her annoying voice' Kai thought as he stepped out of the plane walked into the crowded airport.

He looked around for Mr. Dickinson who said that he would meet him and then take him to the Japanese BBA headquarters. He was surprised to find Gramps there instead of the C.E.O. of the BBA.

"Kai!" Gramps shouted when he saw him.

"Mr. Ganger" Kai said formally. "I wasn't expecting you here"

"Yes well, Mr. Dickinson had some things to take care of" Gramps answered rather quickly before changing to subject. "We should get going then. Time's a wasting and we're not getting any younger, well I defiantly am not"

Kai raised an eyebrow at the old man who was hurrying away to get Kai's other bags.

'Why do I get the feeling there's more to this than he's letting on?' Kai thought in slight amusement.

"Kai!" Mr. Granger shouted bringing him back to reality. "The ride is here!"

Kai quickly walked to the black car that had pulled up. He and Mr. Granger entered without a word.

"BBA Headquarters" the driver said. "Here we go"

Kai shook his head at the nutty driver just as he heard his name.

"Kai! Help me!"

"Rei? You have a letter!"

Rei looked up from the dish to see Mariah running towards him. He recalled Drigger as Mariah passed him a white envelope with his name written on in a fancy font.

"Who sent it?" he asked as he opened it.

"We don't know" Mariah said excitedly. "It arrived at Lee's grandfather's home this morning"

Rei tore open the letter and unfolded a letter along with a map and airplane ticket.

The letter said:

To Mr. Rei Kon,

The BBA is proud to ask you attend a private Beyblading tournament.

Place: the BBA's new stadium in Bay City, Japan

Time: Saturday, June 18 at 1:oo pm

A hotel room will be provided for you at the Bay City Resort. Please check in no later than 12:00 pm.

Airplane tickets and other transportation will also be provided.

Enclosed is a map of where a car will pick you up from the airport and you ticket.

I hope you will come. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Mr. Dickinson C.E.O of BBA

"Wow!" Mariah said jumping up and down."A private tournament! I wish we could all go!"

"I don't know Mariah" Rei said frowning slightly. "Something tells me that I shouldn't go"

"Well you don't have to go" Mariah said shrugging. "But then, Lee will never let you forget how you blew another chance to show just how powerful the White Tigers are"

Rei chuckled as Mariah did an imitation of Lee. He looked down at the letter and read the time.

"June 18th" Rei said. "That's in two days!"

"You better start packing then" Mariah said as she grabbed his hand and pulled him towards his hut (A/N- I didn't know it you would call his home a house or hut so I said hut cuz it sounded better).

"Ugh" Rei said as he stepped off the plane. "The absolute last time I eat airplane food"

Bay City airport was crowded as usual. Rei looked around for a map to see where he was. When he finally found one, he was ready to collapse. He found the place where he was supposed to go and thank god it was close. He walked out of the busy building to see the black car waiting for him.

"Mr. Rei Kon?" said the driver looking at him.

"That's me"

"Very good sir" said the driver opening the door to the car and taking the boy's bag.

Rei started to enter when he saw Mr. Granger and Kai start to get into another car. Just as he was about to walk over, a hand grabbed his wrist and started to pull him into the car. He's eyes widened when he saw who it was. In total panic, he did the only thing that came to his mind. Call for help.

"Kai! Help me!"

It worked. Kai and Mr. Granger looked over to see Rei getting pulled into another black car. Running over to the vehicle, Kai grabbed Rei as Gramps shut the door. The car took off into the streets.

"Rei!" Kai said panting slightly. "What the hell are you doing here!"

But Rei didn't answer. He just sat on the curb staring at the space where the car had been.

"I don't believe it" he said at last when he was in the car with Kai and Gramps heading towards the BBA headquarters. "It…it was B-Boris!"

Gramps and Kai looked at him in total shock.

"Are you sure?" Kai asked sharply. "Rei, are you absolutely sure it was Boris?"

"Kai!" Rei shouted looking over at the Russian. "I saw him! Clear as day! It was Boris! He tricked him into coming here and almost kidnapped me!"

Kai nodded his acknowledgement and didn't say anything else. They had to see Mr. Dickinson.

SSCC-oooo they were so close! sry this waskind of a boring chapter. i promise the next chapter will be better! including what happened to Tyson!
