The Darkest Places.

Alexis patted Jaden's cheek, "Come on Jaden! This is not the time to be fooling around!" He just shook his head in reply. "I'm not kidding who are you? Have you kidnapped me? And why am I in a helicopter?" Alexis went wide-eyed. "H-how can you forget…"

Seto interrupted the drama, "The explosion must have either made him unconscious from getting thrown backwards, or the fumes involved in it. This is not good at all… Here let's just take him back to head quarters and I'll see what I can do about it." Jaden once again spoke in a confused manner, "WHAT'S GOING ON!"

"I'm afraid we'll have to hold him down." Seto lowly spoke, "Wha- You can't do this to me!" Before Jaden could get up, one of Seto's men injected him with a fluid that sent him out cold.

Alexis held him tightly and thought, 'Why can't he remember… Jaden, he's gone through worse but why now!' Finally the chopper landed and they arrived at KC'S secret hideout.

"Alright men, get this boy to the mind-scan right away!" Seto commanded. They all saluted and hauled him off. "Can I come with?" Alexis asked. Seto gave a heard look but sighed, "I suppose so. Hurry."

She thanked him and ran after Jaden. She saw the whole thing, his jacket and pants were taken due to the fact the zippers and buttons were metal. The mind-scan could not have metal. Jaden had purple boxers, with winged-kiribohs on them.

The mind-scan was much similar to a cat scan except what it did and the design. It resembled a tanning booth very much, but there would be no burns or tans in any results. Alexis twiddled her thumbs impatiently. 'What's taking so long? And what will happen when this thing is done?' She wondered in thought.

A loud beeping noise suddenly went off and the emergency lights flashed a bloody crimson. "SYSTEM SHUT DOWN! WE HAVE A HACKER!" Yelled one of the workers. Alexis jumped out of her seat, "What's happening?"

"Keep calm miss, we will soon get it under control… Hopefully." Then all of a sudden there was zapping sounds coming from the machine, "Shit! Get him out of there!" Some other worker shouted.

"ENOUGH!" Interrupted the booming voice of Seto Kabia. "Shut down the system and get him out of there now!" He commanded. Soon after that everything ran smoothly. The system was shut down and Jaden's body was removed from the Mind-Scan.

Alexis ran to his limp body and held him in her lap. "Jaden! Wake up! Please…" Tears of sorrow ran from her cheeks. "Everyone clear the room, he will soon wake up and I'm sure they will want to be alone." Seto choked out.

Slowly all the men including Seto himself left the two in the dimly lighted room. "Jaden… Why is this happening to you? You don't deserve this, if anyone should it's me… After how useless and helpless I am…" Whispered Alexis.

She suddenly got frustrated, "Damn it! I can't save my brother! I can't save you! I can't save myself! So how am I supposed figure a way to get to the bottom of the murders! I'm useless…" Alexis let her hands drop and cried herself to sleep on Jaden's motionless chest.

The last thing she heard was the ever-slow beating of his heart growing louder and louder… Like a lullaby…

"The Darkest Places"

maybe it is dangerous
to invite a stranger into the room with us
the noise is growing louder but i'm not scared at all

when there's no more money in politics
they'll be tearing down the union brick by brick
there'll be cynics holding clinics about where we have been
with every self-proclaimed historian

you know i know you don't want this
you don't need this

i'm shining the light on the darkest places
you know and i know we have to face this now
we have to face this now

the days are growing dark what are we gonna do?
the countries in a panic when i turn on the tube
so maybe i'll just wake up in the afternoon

you can change the channels on your tv
push all the little buttons 'til your fingers bleed
but you won't change me
there's nothing i would do for you cause
you don't wanna see

you know i know you don't want this
you can't dismiss

i'm shining the light on the darkest places
you know and i know we have to face this now
we have to face this now
i'm shining the light on the darkest places
putting the word out we have to face this now
we have to face this now

a generation taking numbers, making calls
as shadows move across my bedroom wall

i'm shining the light on the darkest places
you know and i know we have to face this now
we have to face this now
i'm shining the light on the darkest places
putting the word out we have to face this now
we have to face this now
