A/N: I should really start a blog, or at least a little webpage. This story has back story, probably too much back story. Anyway, I would like to say that almost everyone in this fic who works for LDCRF are named for people I know through a forum…so if you're reading this, and you go on said forum…HI! (I was sort of short for names!)

Chapter Eight:

Kay tapped on a few keys on her small keyboard while she and Taylor were alone in the front room of the LDCRF Industries building, it being late and most of the workers had either gone home or retired to their rooms in the building itself. "Right, Lemme see this….Trianne Chang, witch, born June 18th, 1994." She swirled around in the chair to face Taylor, who was sitting across at a table, writing on a piece of paper. "No changes, Taylor. Why did you want to know?"

"Paulina told me she'd been kidnapped earlier while I was on the phone with her." Taylor replied, looking at the screen. "They think its Death Eaters."

Kay let out a disbelieving scoff. "Trianne has absolutely no powers that would be worth anything to them, if they still existed. They disbanded a little while after Abby was born, remember? The whole fiasco with Ginny getting pregnant before she left school, and all the drama surrounding it… Oh wait, you wouldn't, you weren't that old either."

Taylor rolled her eyes. "You remember that? You were only three, if that."

"No, actually, I was four. I'm almost twenty now, Taylor. I went to school a year later than most because of the month I was born."

"Yeah, I figured." She picked up a phone that had started ringing. "Hello, LDCRF Industries, Taylor Barnes speaking, how may I help you tonight?"

"It's Paulina. Listen, something went down earlier."

"Hang on, Kay's here. I'll put you on speakerphone." She pressed a red button on the phone, causing it give a clicking noise for a second, and Paulina's voice came out the speakers, clearly shaken.

"There were some Death Eaters there when we found Abby. Turns out we were right about the attack and it's starting to click into place now. The leader of the Death Eaters apparently is a vampire, and the vampire who turned Abby is an old rival of hers."

Kay looked mildly shocked and it showed in her voice. "You found Abby in time?"

"Yes, and they've been talked out of killing her, at least for now. The Order wants to see the pair of you, by the way."

"What? Why?"

"Look," Paulina replied, her voice annoyed. "It's not the time to question. I think they want you guys in case we need some backup in case they make their appearance again."

"They want us over there now or just soon?"

"It's preferably now, but soon if you can do that. It's at my house by the way… it was the closest house that has enough charms to give us warning."

Kay nodded, and then added after realizing Paulina couldn't see her, "We'll be there in a couple minutes if we can." She clicked the phone off, and yelled up the stairs, "DANICA, GET UP NOW!"

"Eh? What do you want?" A female with a Canadian accent replied from a nearby door. "It's late."

"You have to look after the place for awhile; we've been called out for some reason. Get Jimmy and Jess up as well, because I don't trust you alone."

There was a loud whine, but the girl relented and knocked on the doors next to hers, and two more people, who looked tired and annoyed, came out of the brown colored doors. Kay looked at them, and then said sadly, "Look, you three. If anyone comes here again and triggers the alarms, get everyone out. I'd rather this place be in ruins then everyone dead inside a intact building, do you hear me?"

"Yes," the girl called Jess sleepily replied.

Jimmy yawned and nodded in reply.

"I need coffee…" he mumbled, making his way downstairs to Kay's seat, Jess following him and sitting down at Taylor's seat, and Danica going into the kitchen to make the said coffee.

"French roast alright, J's?"

"Its fine," the other two replied, placing their heads on their desks. Then Jess looked momentarily at Kay, and smiled.

"Good luck."

Kay looked back at her. "I'm going to need it, I suppose."

Erika proceeded to look at Trianne again, smiling slightly. "Did you know they're having an Order meeting about you, and how they're going to rescue you? They've even put off killing your sister's friend to talk about it!"

Trianne covered her mouth, and Erika raised an eyebrow.

"Don't get your hopes up though. We're pretty far underground. It would take them forever to find you, and they'd have to go through the Death Eaters stationed throughout the passageways leading down to here."

"Don't count the Order out yet," Trianne said, her expression determined. "You've already lost a lot of those dark wizard idiots already."

Erika rolled her eyes. "Empty threats, Trianne. Honestly, you're just full of hot air." She grabbed the small child and threw her in a room off a corridor again, (only this time it was up a flight of stairs) and locked the door.

"You're not coming out until you learn some manners, darling," she called through the door. "That's probably going to be a long time!"

However, Trianne was not listening, as it seemed there was a window leading out of the room and outside, which didn't make sense as they were underground, but Erika might've lied. She didn't seem like the trusting type. Trianne fiddled with the window, and it opened to reveal a slight drop, a risk Trianne was willing to take. She slid her legs over the window ledge and pushed herself off it, landing on all fours. She brushed herself off, and started running as an alarm began to wail.

Kay and Taylor arrived as the clock struck ten, and knocked on the door, Paulina greeting them.

"As much as I'm sure it's you two, I have to ask you the question again: What did you wear in the picture that we took on the last day of Keziah's seventh year?"

Taylor pondered for a moment then replied, "A pair of blue slacks, a t-shirt that said 2001 on it, and a black lace necklace."

"What did you wear, Kay?"

Kay looked incredibly embarrassed, and said, "The exact same thing."

"Okay, then what did I wear?"

"The exact same thing, you idiot, we all wore the same thing!"

Paulina let out a slight laugh. "Okay, you can come in."

"Alright, now what do you need us for?" Kay added as she walked in, Taylor following her and closing the door. "I'm sure you didn't call us up for nothing."

"We didn't," Hermione answered from the kitchen, Daphne in the corner a few feet away from her, obviously trying to stay as far away as she could from her mother. "As you know, Trianne's been kidnapped. We're trying to figure out a way to get her back."

Keziah folded her arms. "You know, this wouldn't have happened if Daphne hadn't overheard you planning to kill her cousin."

Hermione's eyes widened, but Cho stepped in. "We were doing what we thought was best, Keziah! I am your mother and you have to respect that!"

"I don't have to respect you if what you're doing is wrong."

"You are so lucky you're moving out in the fall, else you would have been grounded so long…"

One of the other people in the room let out an exasperated sigh. "Look," the person said who turned out to be Ginny, said. "We don't have time for this. We need to figure a way to find Trianne and possibly finally defeat the Death Eaters." She was interrupted by a high-pitched siren in the distance, causing the residents of the room to quickly jump and look around them.

"I think we've found where she is, " Daphne said, opening the backdoor and looking out it, then pointing. "I'd say it's coming a few miles from here, but then, I have no clue how to measure in miles."

"No, I think you're right," Michael said after a few minutes of people looking cluelessly out the kitchen window and back door, as spells could be heard firing in the distance.

"It sounds like she's escaped anyway," Ginny added, barely avoiding a misplaced spell that flew past the house's window. "God, I didn't know we were that close."

"It works to our advantage, though."
