Tugger had given up on holding in the screams of pains a little while ago. He realized (a little later then he hoped) just letting it all out was so much easier. Macavity had been scratching every part of his body, his fur was matted with blood. Suddenly Macavity stopped, Tugger slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Macavity standing over him, he was a little confused at why he had stopped, not that he minded though.

"Master," a rat said walking over to him. "They have left the junkyard the only ones left are some kittens and a few of the older cats." He smirked evilly and Macavity mimicked it.

"Perfect…" Macavity purred and looked down to his captive. "Time to go, I hope you have fun while I'm gone." He looked back up to his henchcats. "Let's go."

The rats and cats all left with Macavity in the lead. Tugger looked at them confused. They left the junkyard? He repeated what Macavity had said. Oh no, they're leaving now, they must all be out looking for me… Dammit this is all my fault if I hadn't been stupid enough to leave the 'yard on my own and get in a fight and lose then this never would have happened. He thought weakly before closing his eyes and sinking into darkness.

The group of Jellicles were looking around the alley for any clues they could find. They were beginning to lose hope until Tumblebrutus pointed something out.

"Hey! Back here!" Hey yelled as he moved a trash can over. There was a path way of blood leading into a hole in the wall just big enough for a cat to fit threw. "I found something."

There was no line of blood between the stop they saw the previous day and this one because it had just rained and washed it all away and the blood spot that they first found was under a small overhang.

Munkustrap was the first to get to Brutus, he examined the small hole. "Come on," he said. The passage was dark, damp and all around depressing. The cats could barley fit and thought about what it would be like to get drug through here like Tugger was. But Munk quickly winced at the thought. I'm coming Tugger, please just stay here for a little longer, please I'm coming, just hang in there.

Bombalurina was silent through out the entire time. The other cats could tell that this whole situation was taking it's fair toll on her, but then again, could you blame her. Oh please, Tugger I can't live without you. Why haven't I even told you that? I love you please be okay. She begged in her head.

The passage seemed endless end less and it was so dark that even their night vision wasn't much help. Finally when it ended the Jellicles looked around and realized that they ended up in an abandoned building. Munk saw the blood trail and began to fallow it lead straight through the building. After ten minutes or so they reached a door, the latch seemed to be broken or something because Munk could just push it open with the help of Alonzo. For once Munk actually prayed that Tugger was still bleeding a little when he passed through the door, the blood trail was beginning to thin out and Munk wanted to find his brother as soon as possible without delay.

All six cats exchanged glances prepared that there might be some henchcats on the other side ready for anyone who would try and get though. But when the door opened to everyone's surprise no one was there, Munk heard Misto behind him breath a sigh of relief.

"Okay," Munk said. "Three doors, he has to be behind one of them."

Demeter jumped up to one of the doors and was quickly fallowed by Brutus. They attempted to push the door open but failed. "It's not this one Dem said as she jumped back down.

Munk ran over to another one with Bomba and Alonzo, they tried it but the hinges seemed to be completely rusted out. "Not these…" Bomba whispered. "That means…" She trailed off looking to the last door.

Misto helped Munk with the final door and when they pushed it open The room was just as dark as the tunnel. "Quaxo…?" Munk asked and Misto nodded and concentrated a bit before the single light bulb hanging from the ceiling flickered on.

Bomba let out a short shriek of what she saw in front to her eyes. Everyone's attention was drawn to what Bomba was staring at.

"Oh Heaviside…" Munk mumbled and rushed over to his younger brother. He nuzzled Tugger with his nose trying to get a response out of him. "Tugger? Tugger, please answer me."

Tugger had just woken up a few minutes before they all got there and he was still in a daze. He heard voices that sounded vaguely familiar and someone grab him gently and his muscles tensed a bit.

"Tugger?" This was a female voice. The others were male.

He moaned and opened his eyes everything was blurry and out of focus. Even though his vision was bad at the moment he was able to make out a white face with black stripes. "Munk…" He breathed weakly.

"Yeah," Munk said smiling thankful that his brother was okay. "Yeah it's me, we're here buddy, you're gonna be okay."

"Oh honey." Bomba said moving into Tugger's line of vision.

He looked at her seeing a red queen and smiled. "Hey baby." He said forcing a small smile. "Don't you look good today…?"

She Gave him a sad smile happy that he was still able to keep his spirits up even in this situation. "I'm so glad you're alive." She said on the verge of tears.

"Ya thought I wouldn't be?" He took a pause to breath before continuing. "It'll take more then that to silence The Rum Tum Tugger." His smile faded when he remembered why Macavity wasn't there and Munk and the others were able to get to him so easily. "Munk, get back to the 'yard!" His breathing became slightly labored as his panic meter started to rise. "Macavity's planning to take it over…" He tried to speak forcefully but in his condition it was hard. Now he was breathing between every word. "He's heading… there… now… you have… to… to go…"

"Tugger, calm down." Munk said a little dumbstruck. "Breath, come on we have to get back."

He went to help Tugger up but he stopped them. "Munk, I'll just… slow you down… I can handle myself. Go!"

"Tugger-" he started but was cut off by Misto.

"I'll help him back with Tumblebrutus, you guys head back help the 'yard." Misto said and Brutus nodded behind him.

"Okay…" Munk said a little hesitantly. "Let's go." He said to Alonzo, Bomba and Dem. The two girls would normally be the first guess for the ones to help Tugger get back but they were both strong, independent, full grown, queens and Misto and especially Brutus were still young. Brutus was just old enough to join the search.

The four glanced back as they ran away from the three toms.

"Okay Tugger," Misto said. "Can you stand?"

He tried to get up but quickly fell back down wincing. "Don't look like it." He gave a weak smile before it quickly disappeared again.

Brutus and Misto each helped support the Maine Coon tom up and and he had most of his weight on them hardly letting one of his legs touch the ground. It was most likely either badly sprained or broken.

And slowly the trio made their way back to the junkyard.

AN: I really don't think I ever put a disclaimer in so here it is! I own nothing you see here! If I did I would be spending my money on stuff and not writing fanfiction. Except there is one character I mention once she has no part I just liked the name and wanted to use it somwhere. I beleive I mentioned her in the beginning of chapter one. Okay so thanks go out to Puddycat, Mistofey, Quaxo Mistoffelees and Bombalurinasara. Thanks again and review!
