Luce ran into the parking lot, as she did a black car skidded pasted her knocking her to the ground. She wasted no time running after them, after a few minutes of running she stopped and spotted a motorcycle, she quickly jumped on it and took off after the car.

As she followed the car she heard signers in the distance, she sighed with a bit of releaife. At least she knew the others well get medical help. She through as she raced down rote 20 after the car.

For 20 minutes Luce tailed the car hoping at she can somehow save Akari and Kai. Then the worst happened just as she was going to take a turn someone from the car shot out the front tier of the bike. "Shit" Luce swore as the bike slid and she was through off the bike. Luce rolled on the ground and stopped when her back collided with a tree.

"AAA" Luce moaned as she rolled over on her stomach trying to fight the pain in her back.. With hazy vision Luce looked towards the rode but all she saw was a mangled bike and darkness. "Damn it" she swore as she put her hands flat on the ground and pushed herself up "A.. AAA" she screamed as a sharp pain shot through her back, she quickly lost all straight in her hands causing her to fall hard on the ground.

"D-damn" she swore as darkness over took her.

There was police, firemen, and paramedic at the BBA building. Several stretchers where rushed out of the ball room. The ones with minor injuries where sat in front the steps as emergency cures tended to there wounds.

But there where some who didn't sit so quietly.

"TYSON!" Hilary screamed as a police officer tried to keep her from reentering the building.

"Please Miss, clam down, the rescues cures will find him" he reassured her.

With tears streaming down her face she just looked at him with pleading eyes "No, I have to find him" she stressed as she broke free from him and ran for the building just as another stretcher was pulled out, this time with a very injured Tyson on it.

Hilary ran to his side and took his hand and rushed with the cure "Tyson" Hilary whispered as they went to the ambulance.

"Sorry only family member" The paramedic said.

"I'm his girlfriend!" she stressed as more tears ran down her face.

"All right" he said as he help her into the ambulance.

Over by the stairs stood Max, Emily, Tala, Eddy, Michael, Bryan, Spencer, and Lee who was comforting Mariha who was in a crying fit.

Max had his arm bandaged, Tala had small scraps on his hands and face, Eddy had a cut on his head, Michael's right arm was in a sling, Bryan and Spencer both had cuts on there arms and lags, Lee also had a cut on his head, Mariha was fin, her dress was dirty and her makeup was running doe her face from crying, but she had no physical injuries. Emily had a small cut on her back, and a few rips in her dress, but she was also fine.

"We should all get to the hospital" Max said as he watch another ambulance drive off.

"Do you think Luce is alright?" Emily asked with worry and concern in every word.

"I'm sure she's fine" Max said with reassurance, but he was trying to convince himself more then anything.

"Lets go, I'll drive" said Tala flicking his keys in the air "Spence, Bryn, Eddy, and Michael you stay here and try and get as much insight on this as you can, and get the others that aren't to seriously injured to dig up some information on this Jake guy, I have a bad feeling that Old Man Hiwatar is behind this" he added in a serious tone.

"Right" Spencer, Bryan, Eddy, and Michael said as they left.

"Lets go, my car is over here" Tala said as he walked towards a red mustang.

With a grown Luce opened her eyes, how long have I been out she wondered as she tried to again pushed herself up, but like last time a pain shot through her back, it wasn't as great as the last one but it was still very painful.

Luce fought through it and brought herself up her knees, she then fell back on her butt. She put her hand on her back and rubbed it, it was rough and when she brought her hand back she say tried blood on ger glove.

"Great" She mumbled as she lifted up her dress, to ravel her kneed high boots and a cell phone strapped onto her lower thie.

She unhooked her phone and flipped it up, she then pressed in a number. After a few second a deep cold voice answered. "Tala" Luce said trying to hold back the pain.

"Luce where are you, and how did you get my number?" he asked in a rush.

"Never mind that, I lost them, and I don't really know where I am, all I know is that I'm on the side of the rode on rote 20." She said in pain, her back was killing her and she was just moments from passing out again.

"I'll be there soon" he said clicking off the phone. Luce sighed and looked around her, it was to dark to tell where she was, and she was a good distance from the rode. With the last of her strength she lifted herself to her feet and forced herself to walk to the rode.

In the hospital waiting room Max, Emily, Lee, a hysterical Mariha and Tala who was talking on his phone away from others, sat and awaited news on their friends. Hilary was given a sedative to calm her, she was asleep in the emergency room.

"What are we going to do?" Max said as he undid his tie.

"I don't know, Luce said she lost them" Tala said walking over to the window as he turned off his cell phone. "She said she was on rote 20, I'm going to get her" he added with a glance at the others and walking towards the exit.

"How's Tyson?" Lee asked also undoing his tie.

"Last I check he was still out of it" Max answered taking a set. "But the doctor said he was in stable condition." he added as a nurse walked by. "I wonder if Luce is okay" he thought out loud as he folded his hands in his lap.

"I don't know" Lee answered also folding his hands in his lap. " How do you think Rei is doing, he's been in there a long time" Lee added looking down the white hall.

"I don't know" Max answered with his head down. "But he's strong, I know he'll pull through" Max added with a small smile.

"This is all Akari's fault" Mariha hissed as she looked up at Max with tears and makeup running down her face.

"What?" Max stressed almost jumping out of his seat.

"You heard me, if it wasn't for Akari then Rei wouldn't be fighting for his life right now!" Mariha yelled as more tears down her face.

Max's eyes harden as he glared at Mariha "If it wasn't for Rei Akari would be dead right now!" he hissed back

Mariha just froze she was shock at what Max said "I never thought about it that way" she mumbled as she put her head down.

Max turned his head away "No you didn't because as far as you're concerned Akari should have died!" he hissed as he stood up.

Mariha clench her dress as more tears ran down her face "That's not true" she whispered shaking her head.

Max walked passed her and over to the window and said "Then don't you dare put the blame on Akari, especially when we don't know where she is, or if she is even alive." Max said the last part more to himself as he looked out the window.

Emily walked over to Max and but a hand on his shoulder, Max turned his head and gave her a small smile. "Don't worry, Akari and Kai are both strong" she reassured him.

Max sighed and put his hand on hers and said "I know, but I'm still worried."

"We all are" she added leaning on his back.

Luce sat on the side of the rode, well more like lid on the side of the rode. She was in so much pain it hurt to sit up, and she was hoping that Tala would get there soon.

In her mind she was replaying the events, over and over again. But it always came out the same. As she lid on her side she could feel hot tears forming in her eyes. This was not suppose to happen, we came her to start a new life, and Akari was finally trusting people, finally she had a peaceful life, but now, but now... She thought as lights from a car came up the rode.

Luce pushed herself up as much as she could so that the driver Tala or not could see her. After a few seconds the car came to a stop in font of her, the door bursted open and Tala rushed over to her.

"What happened to you?' He asked as he carefully helped her up.

"I got thrown off the bike on was on and hit a tree, I think I fractured my back." Luce said with pain in every word.

"What bike?" Tala asked as he took her arm and put it around his shoulder.

"Not the time for that" Luce stressed as Tala helped her to the car. "We need to find Akari and Kai" she added as Tala opened the back door and helped her in.

"I know, but you need to go to the hospital first" he stressed as he shut the door and get in the driver seat.

The room was dark and damp it smelled of sweat and old blood. The only light that could be seen was that of the moon that reached through a small crack in the damp brick wall. Voices could be heard on the outside, but it was to muffled to make up what they where saying. In the corner of this dank room was the silhouette of a person.

Their hands where chained to the wall behind them, their head was down as in a deep sleep, their knees where under them and the dress that they wore was tore across the knee. Long hair in ruined curls hung down on their face hiding it and giving the looked that this person was eighter seriously injured or dead.
