Threatening Threes

Thanks to all reviewers, I've been informed that there is a rule regarding replying to reviews in a chapter, I heard that you can't do it anymore So i can't respond to the great reviews iI've been getting. But. I'm still looking for title suggestions if you have any. If you like the current itle, just tell me soI won't keep on asking. Yea, enough of my random babble. So, without further ado

Chapter Three

"What? What can they possibly expect us to do with so many people around? Questioned Kousuke. Ayumu extracted a note from the bomb.

Unfolding it, he read, "To disarm this bomb, you must find it's twin, connect the clues, and disable the bomb.

Clue: A spelling contest." A spelling contest? They both thought silently to themselves.

"Did they give us any clues on how to find the twin bomb?" Questioned Kousuke.

"No… They didn't."

"How the hell will we find it? This place is huge."

"Wait. Do you remember any background noise from the phone call?"

"Yea, there were a lot of people, I think I heard a train too. Wait! The caller was fiddling with a plastic bag, do you think that it's in a plastic bag?"

"Yea. If we can find a plastic bag, the bomb might be in it. Lets split up. It will most likely be on a platform."

"Ok."

"Call if you find it."

And with that, they ran off in different directions. Kousuke was too busy looking around that he ran into a little girl while searching his third platform, causing her to drop the plastic bag that she was holding.

"Oh, sorry. Let me help you pick it up." Kousuke said as her started to help her pick up her stuff. When his hand reached a black box, he accidentally knocked the lid off. What the heck? He thought to himself as the bomb started ticking.

"Hey little girl…" Started Kousuke, finally realizing that the girl had run off. Wait, Rio and Hiyono didn't mention anything about this. Kousuke picked up his phone and dialed Rio's number.

"The number you have dialed can not be reached at the moment. To leave a voice message press…" Said the automated answering machine. Kousuke cursed and tried calling Ryoko. The same message was played through the phone. They are supposed to be in reach. He dialed Hiyono's phone as a last resort.

Before he could speak, a voice came on.

"Ah, little Narumi I presume." It cackled

"Er…" Replied Kousuke, not knowing how to respond.

"Well, I have three beautiful ladies with me, say hello." Then another voice came on, it was Hiyono.

"Ayumu? I don't know where they took us, but I think it's near the abandoned hotel. It seems…" But before she could finish, the man's voice came on again."

"Shut up." He said to Hiyono. "If you want to see them…"

"It seems we're on the 7th floor!" She yelled from the back.

"I said shut up!" With that the line when dead.

"…" Was all Kousuke managed before he was cut off. This is bad, the girls got captured. I won't stand by and let them be hunted. Not like this. He heard a faint ticking. What's that annoying ticking? Shoot! It's the bomb!

Kousuke's head whipped towards the dangerous object at his feet. He read the note attached to this one. "Congratulations, you found the twin. Now here is the clue: This insect loves wax." Shoot. Kousuke pulled out his phone.

"Ayumu, I found the twin. I'm at platform 5." When he hung up, his phone started to ring again.

"Hello?"

"I'm sorry about the little intrusion earlier. The problem has been taken care of." Answered the voice.

"What do you mean by taken care of?"

"That is none of your concern. You should worry more about the bomb in your hands. As I was saying earlier, if you want to see them alive, I suggest you listen to me. When, or if you disarm the twin bombs, got to platform 3 and board the train. Get off at the 5th stop. When you get there I will call you." Without waiting for a reply, the man hung up.

"Asazuki!" Ayumu waved the maroon haired guy over.

"What?"

"Hurry up and show me the clue. I think I know the code." Kousuke shoved the paper into his hands.

"Ah, I was right, the answer is bee."

"Well hurry up and punch in the code."

"I think we have to punch it in at the same time."

"What?"

"Look," Said Ayumu as he pointed to the other bomb. "It has the same type of buttons as this one. Just listen to me and do it."

"Whatever." They both took a deep breath.

"Ready." They said together.

"B"

"E"

"E" With the final push of the button, the countdown on both of the bombs stopped.

Ayumu heaved a sigh. "Now what?"

"We go to platform 3 and get on the train. After boarding, we get off at the 5th stop." Replied Kousuke casually.

"And how do you know this exactly?" Questioned Ayumu.

Notes: Yea, do you like it? You'll learn about Hiyono's plan in the next chapter. Lots more action in future chapters. I'm not sure how long this is going to be, but I'm almost finished with the drafts. Um… Read my other stories ok? Read and always review!

Ugh, I'm back in school. I really really don't likes chool. It might be a while before I update, but I have a few chapters already typed up. The ending is still uncertain, but it will end sonner or later. I'll probably space out the postings so it doesn't seem like i don't update a lot. Just review and I'll be motivated! Yep,I love them reviews. More reviews mean faster chapters.Bye bye.
