Sam woke up a couple of days later hog-tied in a cage. He felt slightly sea sick. Sam looked around the room. He was in a single space locked in a cage. He felt the ground creak again. "am I on a ship?" he asked. He tried to move the rest of his body only to hear the chains jingle. Sam laid his wrists back down again. "why am I here? Who brought me here?" he racked his brain trying to remember but he couldn't. It was like his brain was keeping memories from him. He whimpered softly wanting to get out.

The door opened and a figure stepped in, "Well, Well, Well. If it ain't the hero next door." Sam recognized he voice and he growled, "Buck," , "Now, before you get all crazy on me, let me tell you that your little friend is now 'safe' with me." Sam snarled lowly. "you better let me go." he snapped. "don't you do anything to hurt him!" His eyes narrowed dangerously. He could already feel his blood getting ready to boil. "Oh I wouldn't dream of it. Besides, how could I harm such a beautiful young boy like Elvis. I only plan on telling him about your sudden death and then I'll be the one to give him comfort." Buck started laughing. Sam snarled. His body shook with rage. He gritted his fangs together. He wanted to kill Buck. He noticed that Buck had put some fake blood on his jacket. Sam struggled to get out of his chains. " you b***! Don't you do this to him!" ,"So sorry old chap, but I gotta leave you alone in this little room while I go and spread some stories," Buck laughed as he left the room. Sam had tried struggling but the chains would not let him go anywhere, 'Come on Sam, think! What would hunter do to send out a help signal!?' Sam thought for a moment, then an idea came to his mind. Whatever it was, it had better work.

Elvis woke up in a small room, it looked nice, but it had an eerie feeling to it. He got off the bed and looked around, 'What happened? Where's Sam?' His thoughts were interrupted when there were fast knocks on the door. Elvis hesitantly opened it only to find Buck who seemed to be gasping for air, "Buck!" Elvis exclaimed as he let him in, "Elvis...I'm so glad I found you my boy," , "Good to see you too. Did they trap you as well?" , "Yes, but I managed to escape and I went looking for that friends Sam of yours," Elvis's eyes widened at the name of Sam, "Did you find him?" , "Yes...But when I got there-" Buck showed Elvis the bloodied jacket. Elvis gasped as tears started forming in his eyes, "I'm so sorry Elvis. I was in denial myself, but when I tried to save him from death...he just left." Elvis sobbed as he fell to the floor.

Sam struggled again. He tired himself out. He began sobbing softly. His wrists hurt from struggling to get out. " I've failed you Elvis." He whispered. The chains were laced with barbed wire. He knew Buck had told Elvis about his death. *no one will look for you* nagged a voice. * your going to die here. It's the end of the line for you* he closed his eyes.

Back at PontyPandy

Charlie about lost his s***. " YOU LET MY BROTHER GET KIDNAPPED!" He thundered. Anika flinched. " you dam hunters! First you take my mother! Now my brother!" He snapped. He took a swing at Anika who dodged. " I hate you! I really do! He's the only family I had left!" He was in tears. Hurt and Betrayal flashed across his face. Hoshi stood snarling. He held his dad back from her. Charlie sobbed. " my poor brother. My poor brother. I have to help him." Hoshi looked up at Anika. "you better hope Sam is still alive for your sake." snapped Hoshi. "I may not know a whole lot about this hunter business but I know it's hurting my family." Hoshi eyed Anika. "that's where you come in Otter boy." retorted Anika. Charlie shook his head. "I'm not sending my adopted son on your hair brained scheme." Anika crossed her arms. "I was hoping to use his tracking abilities to find Sam." Hoshi thought for a moment, "Fine, I'll go," Charlie looked at his son in disbelief, "Dad, I may not like this hunter stuff, but if I don't go, Sam dies," Charlie knew that he couldn't stop his son from protecting his family, "Fine, he can go. But if my son dies in the fight, it's on your head." He growled. Hoshi turned to Anika. " I'll need something of his scent." Anika handed him one of Sam's shirts. He gave it a whiff before going outside. He changed into his otter form. He was a wolf-like otter with dark grey and black fur. He rose on his back legs towering over her like the Empire State Building. He quickly slithered off into the water. The sensitive hairs on his nose detected Sam's body heat. He began swimming off. Penny had changed into her ocean rescue uniform. " let's take Neptune." She told Anika. She handed Anika one of the OR helmets. "You'll need this and a life jacket." Penny ran over to Neptune starting it up. She opened the bay door. The ramp dropped down into the water. She waited for Anika to climb aboard. "we can also use Neptune's sonar to pick up on where Hoshi is going. We'll have to hurry though. Hoshi is probably half way out to sea as of now."
