Zack's P.O.V.
We got back to their house and Tyne and Fletch sat down on the couch. Tyne was staring at nothing and Fletch was watching Tyne. "are you alright kiddo?" I asked turning her gaze to me. "not really. If my dad did go, where is he and what's he gonna try and do?" she said. "Tyne. You'll be fine. Look at all the people supportin' ya." I said and she smiled. "thanks Zack." She purred. I smiled and hugged her gently. "that's what I'm here for. Keepin' you positive and out of trouble." I said smirking and she hit me gently. "shut up." She murmured and Calley giggled quietly. "and you too!" I said looking at Cal. "I didn't say a thing." She said smiling and I shook my head. Tyne looked at me and smiled. I pulled away from Tyne and sat down and Cal walked over and sat on my lap leaning into me. "You feelin' alright Cal?" Fletch asked. "just tired is all." She said sighing. I wrapped my arms around her rubbing her back. "that's cause ya won't sleep properly." I murmured and she sighed. "and you'll make sure I sleep from now on." She said and I nodded. "well, after what I found out I will be." I said and she sighed. "daddy?" Nicole asked coming over. "yes?" I said. "can I go play with Taya, Kara, and Tahatan?" she asked. "no. you're at their house and you just have to sit down and be quiet." I said sarcastically. Nicole looked at me blankly and then nodded. "Okay." she said and climbed into the chair next to me. "I was joking sweetie." I said smiling. "oh!" she said smiling and then looked at me seriously. "daddy. You're naughty." She said and I smiled. She got up and ran off to the kids.
They ran off and ran into the basement. "right. Let's decorate this castle." Taya said smiling. "with what?" Kara asked. "anything we can find." Nicole said. "mommy has Christmas stuff in the box." Tahatan said peering into a box. Taya and Nicole looked at each other and smiled. "perfect." They said and they pulled out some things tossing it over to the castle. "Kara, you and I will start getting it up on the castle while Taya and Tahatan get them out." Nicole said and Kara nodded. They went over and picked up some of the decorations and started to string it up around the boxes. "oh! Lights!" Tahatan said smiling. "no! if we put them on, they might start a fire and then mom and dad would be cross!" Taya said. "oh. Okay." he said a bit disappointed. "don't worry Tahatan, it will be Christmas before you even know it." Nicole said smiling and he shrugged. "I guess so." He murmured. We heard a bang on the door and Kara ran up the stairs and opened the door and Zosy ran in followed by Shikra and Vytus. "hey you three." Taya said patting them. "Zosy!" Tahatan said hugging him tightly. "careful! Not to tight!" Taya said and he loosened up a bit. "sorry Zosy." He said and Zosy growled gently nuzzling him.
The kids were down there for an hour when they heard something outside. They ran up and looked at us and we were all looking at each other. "mommy? What's that?" Taya asked. "I don't know. let's get down to the basement." She said and we ran down there. Kara, being the inquisitive one, headed to the door. We got down there and Tyne sighed. "right. Zack, Cal, and Nicole, mum, Kai, Lexie, Shad, Reuben, father, and Calari. All Kowalski's present?" she asked. "yes. Mommy." Tahatan said. "no! where's Kara?!" Taya said looking around. Tyne looked at Fletch and that's when we heard a scream come from outside the house. "stay here!" I growled and ran up the stairs and to the door. The door was open and there was a bit of blood on the porch where I assumed Kara must have been standing. There were footprints heading away from the porch so whoever got her, got to the porch without walking in the snow. I looked around and there was a car on the other side of the road with a circle on the side and there were guns in the back of the car. "Antonio's Childcare?" I read and then looked at the bottom of the door and saw something in Italian and then it sped off. I ran inside and down the stairs. "well?" Tyne asked looking at me. "she's gone. There's blood on the porch and footprints leading away from the porch so whoever it was, must have gotten to the porch without walking in the snow." I said. "no. not Kara." Tyne said with tears filling her eyes. Fletch wrapped his arms around her hugging her tight. "don't worry. We'll get her back." Fletch murmured. "there was a car on the other side of the road." I said. "what did it look like?" Tyne asked looking at me. "it was black. It had a circle on the side with 'Antonio's Childcare' written on the side. But it had a heap of weapons in the back." I said and Tyne froze. "did it have uccisione del bambino on the bottom of the door?" she asked softly. "um, yeah." I said and Lexie gasped covering her mouth. "What's that mean?" I asked and Tyne pulled away from Fletch. "no. damn the fucking bastard." She murmured and we looked around and Lexie looked at us and then ran over to Tyne pulling her into a corner and whispered something to her and Tyne nodded. They started heading up to the basement door and I frowned. "Tyne." Fletch growled. "Zack asked a question." He said and Tyne sighed. "uccisione del bambino means…" she said and stopped. "means what?!" I asked. "killing of the child." She murmured and we all stared at her. "b-but they can't kill Kara!" Taya whimpered. "he won't. as long as I go and see him." She said. "who is 'he' exactly?" Fletch asked glaring at me. "Antonio." She said. "and he knows you how?" he asked. "ex-boyfriend from Rome." She said. "since when were you in Rome?" Calari asked. Tyne looked at Lexie and she stood in front of her. "stop asking questions! Have you ever thought there's a reason you don't know her past?!" she snapped and Tyne smiled. "let's go, Lex." She said and Lexie looked at us. "don't ask any more questions about her past." She growled and followed Tyne out. Fletch looked at me and I shrugged. "they're both hiding somethin', I can tell." Fletch sighed and I walked over and looked at him. "Tyne will tell you in her own time." I said and he sighed. "I guess." he said and we went into the lounge and sat down waiting for the return of the two girls.
Tyne's P.O.V.
We got outside and walked off down the street. The winter winds blew and it was snowing lightly but it was getting heavier as we walked on. We headed towards the outer parts of Chuggington to see a huge warehouse. It had the black car outside it that Zack had described and a heap of men watching around the building. I sighed and looked at Lexie. "let's get in there." I said and she nodded. We walked over and a guy looked at us and I pulled out a card and he scanned it. He smiled and opened the doors and we went in. We looked around and a guy walked past. "hey, where's Antonio?" I asked. "In his office ma'am. just down the hall and to your right." he said and we nodded and went down the hall and then headed down the right. We got to a room and there was a sign on it labeled, 'Antonio' and I knocked on the door. "entrare." he called out. I opened the door and walked in with Lexie and he smiled. "ah, my two favorite girls." he said smiling and standing up."alright. Where's Kara?" I growled. "now Tyne, that's no way to treat a fidanzato." he said smiling. "you aren't my fidanzato, and I'm not your fidanzata!" I growled. "yeah. More like you her ex-fidanzato." Lexie said crossing her arms. "that's what she want's to believe." he said and I rolled my eyes. "just what did you do with her." I said. "she's in safe hands." he said walking around the desk and out the door. "where?" I asked following him with Lexie close behind me. "you'll see. You're following me so you'll see her." he said and I looked at Lexie who shrugged.
He took us to another room of the warehouse and then opened a big door and we went through. I looked around and there was a desk and chair, a cupboard, and a bed in the corner. He pointed to the bed and Kara was sitting on it. "Kara!" I said running over and hugging her tightly. "mommy!" she said hugging me back. "what's the big idea of all this?!" Lexie growled. "well, I knew if I took her, you'd come for her." he said leaning against the wall. "I'm scared." Kara whimpered. "there's nothing scary here." Antonio said. "she's scared of people Tony." I snapped. "why?" he asked walking over and sitting on the bed. "because of my dad." I said. "oh yeah. I get it now." he said and Kara looked at him. "who is he?" she asked. "this is my ex-boyfriend Tony. He's from Rome." I said and she nodded slowly. "so why are you here?" Lexie asked crossing her arms. "I could ask you the same thing." he said. "I asked first so you answer first." she said and he nodded. "I came for a holiday. Rome was getting to busy at the moment." he said and Lexie eyed him. "and so your holiday consists of coming to Chuggington, huntin' down ya ex-girlfriend, and kidnapping her daughter for no apparent reason? Right. You have some weird ideas on holidays." she said shaking her head. "okay. Why are you here?" he asked. "I'm here to help Tyne get her dad. He's still out to kill her." she said. "okay. By the way, I didn't kidnap Kara for no reason. There is a reason." he said and we looked at him confused. "and that is?" I asked. "getting you here. Lexie is a bonus." he said smiling. "uh-oh. I don't like where this is heading." I murmured and Lexie frowned. "what do you mean?" she growled. "well, I'll show you. Follow me." he said walking out. We followed him down a few more passage ways wondering what this was all about.
He opened a door to a room and we walked in. There was a desk with a map on it and he walked over to it. "these are the places your father has men stationed at to kill you. I've been tracking them." he said. "and?" I said. "I needed to get you here to take you back to Rome." he said and we stared at him. "I'm not going back to Rome with you!" I said. "Tyne. Has it ever occurred to you that Kara doesn't really look like your dad." he said. "yes. Sort of. Why?" I asked. "Tyne. When you were younger, you were often given a drug to make you do as we said." he said. "who is we?" I asked glaring at him. "the men that your father had rape you." he said smirking and Lexie and I gaped. "when?!" I asked. "you know when your father kidnapped you from Kyron." he said and I nodded. "it was then. We did it so much. That's why we were dating. Kara is my daughter." he said and I glared at him. "not on your life!" I said. "my dad won't get her and neither will you!" I snapped holding her close to me and Lexie growled at him. "don't touch my friend." she snapped holding me against her. I was freaking out and Fletch sensed it. "Tyne's in trouble." he said and he, Zack, and Reuben grabbed their stuff and ran out into the snow to find us. Tony looked at me and smiled. "come back to Rome and I'll leave your new family alone." he said pulling a machine gun out and smirking at me. "The three of you." he added and Lexie and I looked at each other. He smiled loading it and aiming at us. "well?" he asked coldly. "I'm waiting." he said laughing.
