"We are telling you officer that our friend is in Trinity Peaks!" Drew said as the group after discussing had gone to the police station and told the police what they knew.

Yet it was proving hard to show they were being truthful as they just didn't think the photo was proof enough. Sure it meant there had been someone from Trinity Peaks there, but they didn't believe it was from some crazed stalker.

"Look kid we're going to need more than this, and even then this would be in the TPPD's jurisdiction." The officer they spoke to told them.

"Then call them! Tell them that their's been a kidnapping, and the kidnapper is in their town!" Charles said slamming a hand on the desk which the officer frowned.

"Kid if you don't want to spend a night in a cell don't do that again. Also you kids don't have anything else. Plus how come I don't know this isn't just a prank or your accusing someone to get back at them for something?" The officer said hands cupped together.

"B-But the car was a block away from the Riley house. Isn't that enough to at least check it out?" Minerva asked.

The officer sighed "Look kid as much as I would like it to be it's not. Unless you or someone comes forward claiming to have seen Miss Riley be taken from the house and to the car then yes we'll check it out. Though since none have, and no vehicle matching the description was seen with her in it then I can't." He told them.

The officer then got up "Now I've got some real tips to check out so just leave. I've wasted enough time as it is." he said and walked away into a room closing the door.

Disgruntled the five left the police office "I can't believe it! They just won't listen..." Cody said with a sigh.

Minerva whimpers tearing up "Nora could be hurt, and they could care less because we don't have enough proof." She muttered.

Drew sighed "Well some photo's of a car from another town isn't much to go by." Drew said to them as Charles grit his teeth.

"This sucks!" He says annoyed kicking at the ground and the group starts walking off.

Minerva bit her lip "Yes, and another day is nearly wasted. Tomorrow will be worse because..." Minerva started as the rest nod.

"Nora's birthday." The rest said together as Amy and Caleb caught up to which they told what happened with the police.

"Seriously? Ugh...We're just wasting more time." Amy said.

"Couldn't we go to Nora's mom? I mean she is police to right?" Caleb asked.

"Not exactly police." Charles said, but knew what he meant then got an idea.

"Guy's let's head to Frankie's. Her sister probably needs some help with the other siblings, and we can probably find something to help us." He then said.

"If you say so, but what makes you so sure?" Caleb asked.

"Because it's Frankie. She'd have planned for something like this." Drew said as he figured out Charles point.

The group of six agreed and headed off towards Frankie's home which sheer size and everything else surprised Caleb and Amy. They explained to Judith who understood, and agreed to let them look in the workshops as long as they helped out.

After helping with laundry, making dinner, cleaning rooms, etc they headed out to the shed that functioned as one of Frankie's workshops.

"I hope you guys find what your looking for, and I hope it help's with you finding Nora." Judith told them as she left to let them check it out just putting in the code for them to enter.

Once they all got in they saw various inventions Frankie came up with or was working on "Something in here may be what we need, but just in case let's see what else is here." Drew says taking charge.

"Right!" They all agreed and started looking around. Caleb found some flashlights with a black light installed, Amy some testing fluid, Cody found some prototype communicators which at the moment only counted as trackers, Drew found another of Frankie's puzzle piece tracking devices upgraded to give audio, Minerva and Charles were last as they found a few other odds and ends including a high end remote control helicopter with camera and a few other things installed.

"She's got a lot of stuff. Think this will help us out?" Cody asked.

Charles shrugs "It's the best shot that we got." He said to them all.

"Not exactly inspiring a lot of hope are you?" Amy said as they all headed out and went right towards Charles truck, and the group of six headed towards Trinity Peaks.

It took them a few hours as they arrived in Trinity Peaks, and were surprised to find Nora's mother was their "Hi Nora's mom." Minerva greeted.

"Oh your Nora's friend. Also you can call me Dahlia." She tells them and noticed what all the kids had with them and raised an eyebrow.

"I take it your trying to look for her to?" Dahlia asked as the teens nod sheepishly.

Dahlia hummed at this and closed her eyes in thought "Now I am not allowed to be on this as it's personal. Though that doesn't mean I can't assist you. So what did you kids figure out?" Dahlia asked.

Minerva stepped forward bringing out her phone and showed the pictures of the car that had been near the Riley house. They also explained their working theory about how they believe the person that took her was a crazed fan of her online identity Star. It was further supported as Minerva recounted her story to Dahlia.

Dahlia frowns "I see. So if we find this car and plate then we'll find Nora?" She asked.

"Possibly." Drew said as Dahlia took out her phone and gave the six kids her number.

"I'll be at the police station for a while. Contact me once you have proof, and I'll bring in the cavalry." She told them as she was trusting them to hopefully find Nora.

=UNIVERSE=

After leaving Dahlia and was at a distance Cody distributed the prototype communicators to them. They then split up into three groups; Cody and Minerva would walk about town, and Drew gave Minerva the puzzle piece tracker and walkie talkie to listen in along with a recorder. Drew and Charles were operating the helicopter which they'd used to look around for anything strange. Amy and Caleb were in charge of finding the car or truck that matched the plate Minerva had shown.

Cody and Minerva walked about town hoping that maybe Minerva might recognize the person who had attacked her. Or at least hoped that Minerva would remember the guys voice and be able to slip the puzzle piece on him.

"Nothing yet Minerva?" Cody asked and she shakes her head.

"Nothing. I'm sorry Cody. None of them look or sound familiar." She says as all the teen guys they ran into didn't sound or look familiar.

As they passed an alleyway she stopped spotting something familiar on the ground, and her eyes widen as she runs to it "This hoodie...This is his hoodie!" she tells Cody who followed after her.

"Are you sure? I mean there are several that look just like it." Cody asked.

Minerva nods "Yeah. There's a rip in the left shoulder, and...blood spatter." She says pointing out the specks of blood on it from when Nora was shot as some hit the guy.

"We should take this to Dahlia. She could find out..." Cody started then stopped recalling Nora's mom wasn't suppose to be involved.

Minerva understood and got an idea taking out the puzzle piece "He's going to come back for it. He'll realize he made a mistake ditching the jacket." She says and slips it into one of the inner pockets of the jacket then sets it back down just the way it was left.

The two then walked away "Well what do we do now?" Cody asked as Minerva takes out her phone.

"We get in touch with Drew and my brother. Have them watch the alleyway with the helicopter, and then we follow." She says.

"Good idea, but do you think Amy and Caleb have actually found the guy's vehicle yet?" Cody asked.

"No clue. They haven't gotten in touch with us yet so maybe?" She replied unsure and worried.

Both understood as time was of the essence in finding Nora.

Meanwhile in another part of town Amy and Caleb were checking trucks matching the one that looked like in the photo. A few times now they had found the right color truck, but it was often a different model or year of the one they were looking for, and when it was the right the plate didn't match.

Amy sighed after a failed match to another "Not even close." Amy said.

"Hey don't give up hope Amy. I feel that were close...we...we got to be." Caleb said as while he hadn't met Nora he was worried for her.

Amy sighed about to cross the street when their was a horn honk, and Caleb pulled her back stopping her from getting run over by a truck that was pulling in.

A guy of 17 came out glaring at them "Watch were your going bimbo. Don't need you ruining my truck." He said and walks into the store they were near.

Amy flustered and angry was about to shout at him, but Caleb stopped her and pointed at the truck "Amy...it's the right type. Including color." He said.

Amy realized this and instantly brought out her phone and brings up the photo of the plate. The two looked and saw the familiar plate of a mermaid jumping out of the ocean, and they began to match up the numbers and letters on the plate.

"I-It's a match. This is the truck." Amy muttered and looked to Caleb who brings out the testing fluid and hands Amy the flashlight which she switched it to blacklight mode. Caleb began spraying, and Amy shed light on it to which at first there was nothing, but after a minute they saw their was splashes of white meaning which from how it pooled meant a blood pool.

"Quick. Photo it Caleb." Amy said which he did, and they ran off texting Charles asking for him to bring the helicopter to where they were, and that they found the truck from the photo Minerva gave them.

Minutes later the group of six was in Charles truck with three of them ducking low and Drew operating the helicopter from the front. They waited for the guy to leave, and saw that he had a few things such as a pain medication, medial alcohol, and a thing of pregnancy tests.

This just served to make the teens who were already suspicious of him even more suspicious of the teen while Minerva was confused a bit. They followed after the truck with the helicopter following from above while they kept their distance.

They followed, and eventually stopped when the guy in the truck stopped at a familiar alleyway. They used the helicopter to watch which they saw the guy go towards the hoodie "Ahh...there it is." The teen's voice spoke as could be heard from the piece, and the device started recording it.

"Can't believe I lost this. Awe...now to go to my precious wife." He said.

"Wife?" Drew asked as Amy was the other up front and got a bad feeling.

The guy then started humming to himself and got into his truck taking off as they followed after again keeping a reasonable distance as the RC Helicopter followed from above still in range which had been enhanced by Frankie.

"Oh my sweet Star. Why does she still deny me? Especially when she might be bearing my children now." He says as Amy felt herself getting sick and Charles grips the wheel in anger and Drew nearly let go of the RC controller.

The rest except for Minerva understood "H-H-He didn't seriously?" Cody said as he felt more than a little uncomfortable now.

Caleb was as angry as Charles "...Is that enough to call the police?" He asked angered.

Drew shakes his head "We still need to know where he's holding Nora." He said flatly just as angry.

They stopped a block away when they saw the guy stop and get out from the RC Copter's camera. Drew had it set down on top of the house as they headed towards it listening.

"Ahh there you are my sweet Star? How's my wife doing today?" The teen asked as they heard sobbing.

"I-I am not your wife you monster! Y-You are a beast!" Nora's voice shouted.

The teen laughed "Now come on you can't say that. After all we had such fun, and who know's...we may just have more." He said his voice predatory and trying to be seductive.

"Y-You forced yourself on me! You hurt me! You raped me!" Nora shouted through her sobs.

Charles looked to Amy "...Call Dahlia. Call her now." He told her to which she nods as they now knew where Nora was.

After a few minutes Dahlia confirmed she was on her way with backup, and told Amy for them not to try anything stupid.

"She's on her way." Amy told them, but then noticed that Charles looked panic to which she then noticed that Minerva was missing.

"She slipped away while we were all talking about what to do." Charles said nervous.

Amy gulps, but was also a tad bit angered "What in the world is she trying to do?" Amy asked.

Charles sighed "Minerva feels responsible for Nora being taken." Charles told them and glanced towards the house worried about his little sister.

=UNIVERSE=

Inside the house Minerva carefully moved about looking for Nora, but then hide as the teen came up from a basement door. Minerva waited for the guy to be far enough away, and slipped down into the basement, and going down she stopped and let out a gasp as she saw Nora.

Nora's clothes were ripped exposing her, and she had bandages on her shoulder and stomach while the ripped remains of her clothes were on the ground. Bits of her hair was also cut, and there was new scars scabbing over. She had a black blind over her eyes, and she was looking around frantic.

"L-Leave me alone! Y-You've already d-d-done e-enough to m-me." She says her voice in a whisper as Minerva approached.

"Nora. It's me." Minerva whispered and Nora gasped as tears trickle down from the blind.

"Minerva. Y-You all f-f-found me?" She asked.

"Yes. Now just hold still." Minerva said and saw that she was chained to the bed like frame. Minerva used her inhuman strength to break the chains, and started to head back up yet stopped when the guy was back. He had a gun in his hand again and was scowling.

"You again. You just have to keep getting in the way." He said.

Minerva just gave him an even glare "Yes I will. Nora isn't yours at all." She says.

"Nora, Nora, Nora, Nora! Who is this Nora? Now you put down my precious Star. My wife." He tells her and shots at the floor near her.

Minerva yelps jumping away with Nora "N-No. I won't put her down. Nora isn't your wife." She tells him, but then cries out in pain as she was shot in the shoulder and she fell to the ground unconscious from the sudden pain.

Nora pulled off the blindfold and kneels down to her "Minerva. Oh no...no no no no no!" She says as the teen laughs and then kicks Nora away.

"Now now my precious Star. We'll continue after I dispose of this little insect." He says.

Nora felt an intense dark rage bubble in her that she hasn't felt in years, and what he said just pushed her even further as she felt a dark intense feeling overtake her.

"How dare he...how dare he! This...this...this thing dares to think it can do whatever it wants! I won't let it!" Nora thought her eyes darken into a deeper blue almost black.

The guy shot, but the bullet went flying into the wall "W-What the..." He started, but before he could continue his body was slammed into the wall hard from an unknown force, and the tracking device/recorder broke.

Nora had her hand out and pulled back to which the guy's body followed "W-What are you?" He said scared.

Nora snarled angry "Nothing you need to be concerned about." She says and swipes her had to the side to which he was thrown into the far south wall.

She repeated this action until he was knocked out and slammed him hard into the ground. Nora then heard sirens going off from above, and soon enough the TPPD broke into the house and were soon in the basement including Nora's mom. The knocked out crazed teen was taken while some paramedics came down to take care of Minerva, and Nora. Dahlia took off her jacket and covered Nora so she wouldn't be going out naked.

Minerva and Nora were brought out and taken to the ambulance which would take them to a hospital in Milky Way. Dahlia also called her ex-husband to let him know about Nora current condition, and to meet them at the hospital.

Meanwhile Drew handed the recording device to the police to serve as evidence and Dahlia handed over her phone which had the copies of the pictures that were taken. The next half hour would be taken for the teens to tell the police what had happened with each of them.

All in all the group was just overall glad that Nora was safe, but was scared as they now knew the full extent of what the kidnapper had done to Nora. Charles was extra nervous when he saw Minerva brought out on a stretcher with someone putting pressure on her shoulder.

Drew sent a message to Macha, Ahsha, and Ramiel about what happened, and where they were headed.


Episode 38 is done and over with, and while Nora has been rescued she and Minerva aren't in the best of conditions. Though it seems that there is much more to Nora as she has displayed some psychic like powers, but how does she have them in the first place? While not the most difficult chapter to write it was still sad as while it seems like Nora is fine once that adrenaline wears off...well you'll see next chapter. Now before I sign off I want to thank my friend Stormasius for giving the idea of this story arc. Now then until next time this has been your friendly fanfiction writer decode9!
