You Never Know

Chapter 8

"I see a building coming into view." Tai said, and then looked back at the others.

"What is it?" Matt asked. "We never seen it before, right?"

"I don't even remember this place." Mimi said.

"That's true…" Sora stated. Everyone sighed, because of all the stress this was putting on them.

"And for some reason our digivices don't work." Izzy said, while looking at the digivice and trying to push some buttons.

"Or we could've used it to track TK…" Matt finished for him.

"Why don't we check the building out? It might give us a clue why TK came back." Tai suggested.

"By the way, I wonder where our digimons are…" Mimi though out loud.

"How about this, we split up and come back here after an hour and a half." Tai crossed his arms across his chest.

"But how will we know it's the right place? This place looks indifferent from any other part of the forest…" Mimi questioned, and then brightened up, "Oh! I know!"

She reached into the pocket of her white skirt to reveal a pink ribbon for wrapping presents. She went to a nearby tree and tied it on the highest branch she could reach. She then turned around and smiled, "I was wrapping a present for a friend." She laughed sheepishly.

"Okay, now that we have something to mark our meeting place, let's split into groups." They eventually split into two groups. The first group had Tai, Matt, Kari, and Sora (She was worried about those two being too rash at times). The other group had Mimi, Izzy, and Joe.

"We're going left then." Izzy said.

"Alright, we're going right." Tai then added, "Hey, that rhythm."

Sora slapped her forehead in frustration and started to push Tai to the side of which seemed to be, the clearing. "Just get going." She mumbled.

"Okay, okay!" Tai walked a bit faster so Sora would stop pushing him.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

"That's…" TK stopped. 'If I tell him, he would break it and Patamon wouldn't be able to digivolve! How can I save those digimons being experimented and the ones being mind controlled?'

"So…?" the officer inquired again.

'If I just say that's just a toy it would sound very stupid since I'm too old for that kind of stuff…so maybe…' TK tried again, "That's a tracking device I invented. In fact I'm very smart, so you might find it a waste if you keep me in prison." TK thought stupidly, 'Eheheheheh, bluffing really isn't my thing but I hope this works.'

"Oh? Is that so?" the interrogator cocked his brow. "What does it track?"

"A-Anything that is organic." TK hated to lie but he had no choice.

"Hmm…" the officer slightly nodded, as if, TK noted, to mock him.

'Sigh' TK thought silently, 'My acting skills aren't going to work here.'

"I'm interested as in why you all of a sudden have a change of heart."

"That's because I thought it would be smarter than going against you. I don't think you would mind if you have an extra brain working on your side?" TK just wanted die then and there. 'ARGH! This is so…..embarrassing! That's for a lack of a better word but still! I can't imagine what Kari and the others would say…I'm in this dire situation but I'm still thinking this way…I got to give it all I got.' TK smiled a confident smile. 'Okay, okay, that DID it! Anymore of this acting…lying…bluffing…whatever! I will flip, I swear.'

The officer's quiet, yet distracting laugh erupted into his thoughts. "We'll see about that."

Suddenly a guard opened the sliding doors. "Officer Glucides, Proteios Taisa have a message for you."

'Taisa? That's colonel in Japanese. Colonel Proteios…' TK thought.

"Please come in." the officer, now known as Glucides, responded.

The guard went up to him and whispered in his ear. Officer Glucides nodded and waved his hand to dismiss him. The gurad went back out quietly. "Put him back to the cell." Officer Glucides said and left the room from the sliding door with a few subordinates.

'Did I just get saved?' TK thought for a moment. 'Tasukaru…'

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

"Sora, run faster!" Tai yelled.

"I am!" Sora responded.

When they left to explore outside the forest, Tai immediately went to investigate the building. After a few minutes, they got someone chasing after them.

---------Flashback----------

"Come on, guys let's check the building out." Tai pleaded.

"Well…fine…" Sora answered.

Kari and Matt just followed along silently. "Hey Matt, Kari, don't worry. We'll find him, ok?" Tai smiled at them reassuringly.

"Yeah." was all Matt said.

Kari just nodded and smiled slightly. They went to some bushes that were near the building. They all dropped their jaws. The place was heavily guarded with humans. Near what seem to be the main entrance stood a woman with outstanding raspberry coloured hair, and beside her was the green digimon that tried to kill them all before.

"Hey, Brine, you manipulate that…what's it's name again? Kingmon right? Well, you manipulate him well." A nearby guard said.

Brine laughed. "Manipulate sounds so bad. How about befriend? That sounds better."

The guard sniggered. "Right."

"Let's go nearer." Matt suggested quietly.

"Wait! Don't get reckless!" Sora said a bit too soft for Tai and Matt to hear. They already started to walk nearer.

They got as close as five meters away from the guards. Without warning, Tai cracked a branch under his feet. Curses. Brine and the soldiers looked over. "Who's there?" The guard yelled, "Don't move!"

"Like heck I am." Tai said, and ran low.

"Not again…" Matt complained while running after Tai.

Sora and Kari heard gunshots ring out. "Oh no…" Kari said.

Then Tai and Matt ran past them and both said in unison, "Run!"

"Kamiya Taichi…" Sora said under her breath and started to run, "What did he do now?"

The pursuers weren't far behind. Eventually, Tai and Sora lost Matt and Kari, because they ran the opposite direction from them.

-----------Present----------

Tai and Sora ducked into a thicket.

"Did we….lose them…yet?" Sora asked huffing. "My lungs….are going to…explode..."

"I don't know…" Tai replied, breathing hard as well. They had run into a forest again, except this one had many thorns bushes and generally, plants that were sharp and prickly.

They heard footsteps behind them. Sora and Tai both sucked in their breath and looked at each other, wide eyed.
