13 – Missing

"What do you mean Scott?" Storm asked anxiously as Blaze and Gambit hurried everyone inside.

"I was sat by the pool watching Jedda swimming when she got out and said she was going for a shower, when she didn't come back down, like I asked her to, I went up to see what she was doing. Her room was deserted and so was everyone else's. I tried to reach you on the radio, but I couldn't get through." Scott explained recovering slightly.

"Right we have to find her, Scott inform Blaze and Gambit get them to round up the older students, Rogue, Bobby, Sam, tell Crystal to watch herself. I need to talk to the hotel staff," Storm said franticly, rushing off to the manager's office.

Cyclops raced to the stairs and went up three at a time. Unfortunately the hotel had ten floors. Damn he thought why did they go for the top floors why not the ones on the first floor up.

By the time he reached the top floor Cyclops was exhausted. It took him a moment too long to understand what was going on. Jedda streamed past holding the screaming form of Crystal. Shockwave, Shadowcat, Iona, Wolfsbane, Vertigo, Blaze, Gambit and Rogue chased her letting various attacks fly. They all missed, just as Scott realised what was going on and removed his shades to blast Jedda the two forms went out of the window Crystal still screaming. The three X-Men and six students leant out of the window to see the kidnapper vanish in mid air with her captive.

"Damn it! Dis don't look good Cherie," Gambit said to Blaze, "at least before Jedda only wished to hurt Crystal,"

"I don't think we've seen the last of Jedda and I hope not the last of Crystal, it would have been so easy to drop Crystal and use her mutant powers to escape." Scott said turning away, "I think there is more to it than a school girl fight,"

#I agree Scott that's why I'm sending Logan, Nightcrawler and Vixen to help. Don't panic the students someone should carry on with their holiday. They have waited too long for this# The professor #told# them.

#Professor we want to help too, Crystal is our friend and we can't leave her with that evil cow#

#I know Sam but I can not let you, even though you are as old as Rogue and Bobby Iona and Vertigo are not and I believe they will need your help. Plus Gambit may need your help keeping the younger ones in check at Sea World tomorrow#

#Professor! Please#

#No#

"Right bed Sam, Iona, Vertigo, Wolfsbane and you Gambit. Your up early tomorrow," Storm said having just arrived in time to hear Sam's plea to the professor. "Rogue get Bobby, Peter and anyone else who may be of help." She didn't care to note it was still only seven.
