Chapter 2 ~ Llamando Por Vuestras Ayudas

Zack couldn't let himself stuck in that chair forever. And talking about forever, it seems like it's been a long time since the agents went upstairs, and they haven't got down. Millions of thoughts came into Zack's head about the possibility that happened upstairs.

"How long have they been up there? Did Milo and Melissa survive that long? Or maybe..." Zack let out a gasp. It couldn't be happened. They are tough. With a lot of rescourses, how did they lose to 2 professional agents?

He struggled to unbound himself from the chair which he'd been stuck there for who knows how long. They really tied the rope pretty tight, so tight that Zack couldn't even do anything with his hand. The only thing that functioned on him are his feet, and what could he possibly do with his feet.

Suddenly he heard a bark that he knows and he was glad to hear it. "Diogee!" ~ He exclaimed as Diogee approach him with a worried expression. "Okay, Diogee. Can you help me? You need to loose the rope that tied me."

With a bark, Diogee then bit an end and pulled it, loosening the knot. With a little effort from himself, he finally freed. Zack and Diogee then rushed upstairs. Zack checked every single room possible, even the bathroom, cause he knows that it's the place that some kidnappers might use to lock their victims.

Zack and Diogee finally reached the door of Milo's room, which had been abruptly damaged. He got in there only to find Melissa laid on the floor, unconscious. "Melissa!" ~ He yelled as he approached her motionless body, shaking it, hopefully will wake her up. Diogee also helped him, sniffing her body thoroughly in hope to wake her up.

After a few minutes of effort, Zack felt something moving around him. In his relief, Melissa's finally conscious. "Z- Zack?" ~ A small voice was heard, made the boy and the dog cheered happily. "Melissa!" ~ Zack cheered as he and the dog snuggled with the girl.

"Zack? Where's Milo?" ~ Melissa asked softly as she slowly regained her consciousness. Hearing the question made his heart skipped a beat.

"I was about to ask the same thing!" ~ Zack exclaimed worriedly finding his friend nowhere to be seen. "Milo?! Milo!" ~ He screamed to random directions, to no avail.

Diogee then let out small whimpers, finding no clue about the whereabouts of his master. He whined nearby the window of the room, which seems to be opened for a while.

"Okay Zack, what are we going to do now? Even Diogee 'Ex Machina' Murphy, the best dog in the world can't find him." ~ Melissa asked him thoughtfully.

A few minutes later, an idea seems to strike through Zack's head. "I know how we can find Milo, come on!" ~ Zack said grabbing Melissa's hand and drag her downstairs and out of the house with Diogee following behind them.

~Somewhere Else~

Milo wakes up to find himself in some sort of room that is poorly lighted. He cannot clearly see what's happening, but he's quite sure that he's tied to somewhat a chair he's sitting on. He can also feel duct tape being strapped on his mouth, avoiding him to scream, or even to talk.

"Am I kidnapped?" He thought to himself. He must've kidnapped, because of his position, and to the fact that he can't find his backpack attached to his back. "Wait... my backpack?! Where is it?!"

He lets out unclear muffles, hoping someone would come to help him.

From the shadows of the dark room, he sees 2 figures coming to his direction. He smiled happily; finally someone came to save him. But after the faces of the figures revealed, his smile disappeared, replaced with a clear afraid expression.

"Okay, kid. Let's just get this straight..."

~Back With Zack And Melissa~

Melissa and Zack strolls down throughout the city looking for something, or more precisely, someone, or accurately, two persons.

"Are you sure they're here? Because it seems that we've been looking for them for about... *calculating* 45 minutes." ~ Melissa asked annoyed, which Zack didn't seem to pay attention on.

Suddenly, Zack snapped as he spotted a particular sight nearby the park. "There!" ~ He exclaimed which makes Melissa turned around, seeing the time travellers they know. "Finally, there they are! Don't worry, Milo. We're on the way." ~ Melissa said happily.

Cavendish and Dakota is on another pistachio duty (as usual). Cavendish just keeps staring at the pistachios, while his partner is eating some French fries. None of them seems would likely break the silence between them, that's when Dakota suddenly points to a particular sight. "Hey, are those Murphy's friends?" ~ Dakota said, pointing at Zack and Melissa.

"Yeah, you're right. It is them." ~ Cavendish said flatly and boringly without even glancing at his partner.

"No, I mean, look! It's them. They're running towards us." ~ Dakota said, getting his partner's attention. "Yes, you're right." ~ Cavendish ~ "But wait a second... where's Milo?"

"Hmm... I don't know. Better ask them." ~ As soon as that, Zack and Melissa finally reached their stand.

"Hello Mr. Cavendish and Dakota." ~ Melissa said politely.

"Please just Cavendish and Dakota!" ~ Cavendish ~ "Anyway, shouldn't you be at school?" ~ He continued.

"And where's Murphy?" ~ Dakota added.

"That's why we're here for." ~ Zack said in worried tune. His face clearly showing a mixture of fear, anxiety, and anger. "Milo's been kidnapped!"

Cavendish and Dakota flinched. Milo's been kidnapped? Who would do such a thing. "Kidnapped?! By who?!" ~ Cavendish asked.

"We don't know." ~ Melissa

"But one thing for sure is that they dressed in a very glamour attire." ~ Zack added ~ "Like elite class people, or something like that."

"Oh you mean Brick and Savannah?" ~ Cavendish asked.

"Think so. They never introduced themselves to us." ~ Melissa

"They're elites, they don't give a care you know them or not. In fact, I even doubt if whether that's their names." ~ Cavendish

"Yeah, those guys are jerks." ~ Dakota

"I agree! I mean the first time we met them, they almost tied us up, but thanks to Scott the Undergrounder, we escaped." ~ Zack added.

"How rude! I think we better find Milo before they did something bad to him." ~ Cavendish declared.

"Agree with you Balthy, ¡ahora vamos!" ~ Dakota

"Wait a minute... his name is Balthy?" ~ Melissa asked looking at both time travellers.

"Well... actually his name is Balthazar Cavendish. He doesn't really like bragging about his first name. Now come on, let's go!" ~ Dakota almost rushed before the rest stopped him.

"But how will we find them? I bet they've left for hours." ~ Zack asked.

"I think I have an acquaintance in the bureau that can help us. Come on!" ~ Dakota said as they rushed to Cavendish and Dakota new time machine (which looks like a 30's old style buggy car), and get to the year 2175.

~Back With Interrogated Milo~

Both Brick and Savannah exchange look before looking back at their victim. Milo gulps, their eyes are so intimidating, making him even more scarier.

"Now what are we going to do with him?" ~ Savannah asked, glancing at her partner. "We already got the backpack, now what? Should we let him free?" ~ Hearing that word "free" makes Milo feel relief.

"No! He still need to give us some explaination." ~ He said as he looked at Milo, as if he has a desire on eating him. Milo became even more scarier than ever, so scared that he could feel a tear fell from the corner of his eye.

"Please, someone save me!" ~ He said to himself. He could really use some help right now.

Brick then pulled out a somewhat tazer tool from his tuxedo. He then turned on the device and pointing it at Milo. "Now you need to answer my questions, kid. Answer, or this goes right into your spine." ~ He said pointing the tazer to Milo. Milo trembled on his chair, feeling as he'll likely pass out if he has a record of heart attack problem.

"You know he's still gagged, right?" ~ Savannah asked from a distance, looking at Brick doing interrogation on him.

"Yeah, I know." ~ Brick said as he pulled the duct tape from the sweater vest boy. Milo then gasped for air.

"Now talk...!"

To Be Continued

A.N: Sorry to end it here, but I'm a cruel author. I honestly don't like Milo being in that position, but what could I do? I could really feel the angst built here, so stay tuned! Cruel author leaves, peace.
