During the time that Gary and Carmen had called their parents to tell them they were going to be out, Gerti and Juni were still sitting in the dark dingy dungeon where Gabriel had put them. Juni had contacted her sister, who had hopefully told Gary. Juni hoped they were on their way because he had a bad feeling that Gabriel, Anna, & Erik were going to do something to them soon.

"Juni…?" Gerti whispered from where she was chained against the wall.

"What?" Juni replied, irritated.

"What if Carmen and Gary don't get here in time?" Gerti sounded scared to Juni. No, not scared, she sounded terrified. Juni sighed. He didn't like hearing or seeing Gerti terrified.

"They will show up. Don't worry." Juni tried to sound convincing but it didn't work on Gerti. She curled up in a ball against the wall, just waiting for their siblings to come and rescue them.

Suddenly Juni sprung up from where he was sitting and gasped, waking Gerti. Standing in front of the bars that kept the two in, was Carmen and Gary. Gerti tried to go forward but was restricted by the chains.

"Gary!" Gerti struggled to get to her brother. She kept on yanking until she got exhausted.

"My sister!" Juni exclaimed, trying to get to her once but stopped. "Help us get out!"

Carmen held up a finger to make him be quiet and pulled out her acid crayon. She began to make diagonal lines on the bars, but stopped when she felt a cold hand on her neck. She twisted to see who it was and realized she was facing the creation/weapon of the OSS, "Amy".

"Wha-" Carmen began to say but Amy cut her off and threw her in the cell with Gerti, locking her in. Amy turned towards Gary but Gary was prepared. He jumped out of the way when Amy went to grab him but she was quicker than him. She reached out in the direction he jumped in and caught him, sneering at him all the while.

"Well, you can join these three." She flung Gary in next to Juni. "Master Gabriel, young Master Erik, and young Mistress Anna will be pleased to have both the Cortez twerps and the Giggles twerps." Amy laughed cruelly and left to fetch the twins and Gabriel.

"We tried….."Carmen whispered, tears welling up in her eyes from being thrown. Gary went over to the bars and reached through them and touched Carmen's cheek.

"It's going to be all right, Carmen." Gary heard Gerti whimper from where she sat. Gary sighed and sat down, waiting for the time to come for their captors to return.

After a couple hours, Gerti, who had fallen asleep, awoke with a start. She heard footsteps and saw Anna and Erik emerge from the shadows of the stairs and Amy and Gabriel behind them. Erik was carrying something behind his back and so was Anna. Gerti gasped and poked Carmen awake. Carmen shrieked and the boys woke up. All four of them backed themselves against a wall. Erik opened the girls' cell and pulled Gerti out. He pulled two ropes out of the ceiling and tied Gerti's hands. Anna did the same to Juni, but taking him a little ways from Gerti.

Gerti gasped as she saw Erik pull a long thick rope from behind him. The rope had metal spikes all around the rope and the rope was about 5 feet long. Erik went forward but paused as he heard Anna taunting Juni. He then ignored it, getting closer to Gerti. When he was face to face with Gerti, he raised the rope but as he was going to bring it down, Gerti came forward and kissed Erik full on the lips. He pulled away, surprised.

"Erik, you are a good man. Don't listen to your father or Amy. Your father is manipulating you." Gerti whispered, but Erik tried to ignore her. He raised it again. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Anna and Juni fighting on the ground. He went to raise the rope again but Gerti swung up and managed to wrap it around her legs, yanking it from Erik's grip. Erik swore and jumped for it, but Gerti swung out of the way. After a while of Gerti swinging out of Erik's grasp and them fighting, Erik finally jumped and pinned Gerti to the floor.

As he kept Gerti pinned, he heard no scuffles whatsoever from Anna and Juni. When he looked up, Anna and Juni were holding hands, and Carmen and Gary were freed. He gasped and tried to get up but Gerti swung the rope around his neck and pulled him close.

"See, Erik? You are beaten. Please help us get free! Your father has been driven to madness and insanity!" Erik shook his head. Gerti sighed and started to turn red in the face.

"Erik……I love you." Gerti whispered. Erik was taken back. He freed himself and pulled Gerti to her feet. He took her over to the others and he motioned for them to huddle.

"I will try to free all of you, with my sister's help. But I don't know if I can." Erik said skeptically. Gerti smiled.

"You can help us, Erik. You can shut down Amy since you were the one who programmed her to obey your family." She continued to smile at Erik, and Erik nodded.

"All right. You guys distract her while I shut her down." Erik motioned for them to break and Gary, Anna, Carmen, and Juni all started making loud noises like they were escaping. Erik and Gerti hid, hearing Gabriel and Amy's footsteps. Erik heard Gerti gasp.

"I forgot about your father! Oh great!" The two hid quietly and watched as Gabriel and Amy tried to round the others up. Amy managed to get all of them in the cell and then turned right to where Gerti was hiding.

"I know you are there, Gerti. Come out." Amy reached in the crook that the two were hiding in and grabbed Gerti, pulling her out. Amy began to strangle Gerti, though it was a slow process with Gerti fighting. Erik realized what Gerti meant by his father being driven to madness and insanity and manipulating him and his sister. He watched his father's face contort with glee and insanity as Amy tried to strangle Gerti. Erik then moved behind his father, picking up a small metal pipe that had been lying on the floor, covered in grime. Erik brought it up and knocked Gabriel out with a small thunk as it connected with his head.

With that done, Erik quietly moved behind Amy and subtly undid the back of her shirt with his knife. He reached in, without touching her, and yanked a couple wires, shutting her down. At once, the cell door flew open, freeing the others. Everyone heard footsteps as OSS members came down the stairs.

"Well done kids!" Gregorio said, handcuffing Gabriel. He motioned to another OSS member to take Gabriel outside. He looked at Erik and Anna.

"You two can come live with us if you want." He offered. Erik shook his head.

"I think, if its all right, I want to live with Gerti." He looked at Donnagon. Donnagon nodded. Gerti hugged Erik happily and left. Juni and Anna quietly left too, leaving Carmen and Gary together with Gregorio.

"Well….I guess I will have to get used my baby girl dating…." He sighed and left as Carmen and Gary kissed.

After that, Anna lived with the Cortezes and Erik lived with the Giggles, and the siblings often saw each other, seeing as Carmen always wanted to see Gary.

The End!
