Chapter 5: Captured

Let me explain about Mike's lucky chain before anything else. He got it on his fifth birthday, he calls it his lucky chain because he believes that nothing bad can happen to him if he puts it on. But, realizes the chain can't prevent his Dad making them move away. He doesn't wear it to every hockey game when his team loses a game he wears the chain the next game and they win. He always wears it during the playoffs, the one playoff game he forgot to put it on they lost. It's a gold chain. Jake and Sarah made fun of Mike's lucky chain when he first got it and called it his lucky chain but, after a while they stopped making fun of it and tried to talk Mike into letting them wear it especially Jake when he had test in school or competed in skate competitions. Mike never lets them wear it because he believes that the good luck of his chain will only work for him. The only time Jake wore Mike's lucky chain Jake broke his leg on the way to the skate competiton and he hasn't worn it since. That's the story of Mike's lucky chain in case any of you were confused about the lucky chain.

Kate picks up the phone and dials Don's house.

"Hello?" Don answered still asleep.

"Don, it's Kate. Mike didn't make it to school today is he there with you?" Kate asked him.

"Not that I know of." Don replied.

"Do you think Mr. Galleo has him?" Kate then asked with fear in voice.

"Maybe Mike just got side tracked and is hangingout somewhere. Where does Mike like to hangout?" Don then asked her.

"The skatepark or the arcade." Kate told him.

"I'll check the skatepark and the arcade maybe he's at one of those places." Don explained.

"I'll help you look for him." Kate said to him.

"You need to stay at your house in case Mike comes back." Don told her.

"What if he goes to your house?" Kate then asked him.

"He'll go to your house before he goes to mine." Don then told her.

"What if he's not at the arcade or the skatepark?" Kate then asked him.

"I'll call the precinct and ask them if they can look for Mike. Me and my partner will look for him as will all the other officiers." Don said to her.

"What can I do to help?" Kate then asked him.

"You can help by staying home in case Mike comes home." Don said to her again as he hung up his phone.

Kate hears the dialtone and hungs up her phone. She goes up to Mike's room and hugs his stuffed dog. Don and his partner can't find Mike and they go back to the Baker house.

"Did you find him?" Kate asked them.

"No. We looked everywhere the arcade, the skatepark, the movie theater, even the ice rink but, he's not there." Don explained.

"Mrs. Baker we'll find Mike if it takes us all day." Brian Romane said to her. (Brian Romane is Don's partner. He's 6'2" and has short light brown hair.)

"I just want Mike home." Kate told them in tears.

"If Mr. Galleo did take Mike then he's probably going after Sarah and Jake also. What time do they get out of school?" DFon asked her.

"They get out at 2:30." Kate replied.

"It's 2:28 now. We won't get there in time." Don said looking at his watch.

"How do they get home?" Brian then asked her.

"Jake and Sarah walk home with their brothers Mark and Henry. I pick up Nigel and Kyle and Kim, Jessica and Mike take the school bus home." Kate explained.

"If they walk with their brothers Mr. Galleo won't touch them because of witnesses." Don explained.

"We'll go to the high school and check for them walking home." Brian then told her.

"Mrs. Baker we need you to stay here and act if it's like any other day. We don't want you to cause hysteria in this house by getting your family nervous about Mike. Especially Jake and Sarah because we need to ask them a few questions." Don then told her.

Kate nods her head in agreement as Don and Brian leave the house.

At the school Mr. Galleo and his boys are in the limo and the van waiting for Jake and Sarah to come out. They see Cooper and Quinn and tell them if they get Jake Baker to chase them into an alley they will give them five hundred bucks a piece. They agree. As Jake skates by them they knock him off his board and take his ski cap and run off. Jake skates after them and follows them into an alley when he gets into the alley three guys go in behind him. Jake sees a van and before he knows it he's grabbed and his hands are tied behind his back.

"What about our five hundred bucks a piece?" Cooper asked Jimmy.

"I almost forgot." Jimmy said to them as he went for something in his pocket.

"You set me up?" Jake asked them.

"Sucks doesn't it Baker." Quinn then smirked.

Jake is trying to get free. Jimmy takes out his gun and shoots Cooper and Quinn in the head and kills them. Jake is horrified and starts to tremble. Pauly blindfolds him and tosses him in the van where Vito places tape over his mouth. Jimmy then sticks him with a needle and knocks him out. They drive off.

"That was too easy. The little one put up more of a fight then this one." Pauly said to Vito.

"Let's hope the girl is this easy to snatch." Vito smirked.

They take Jake to Mr. Galleo's mansion and put him in the same room as Mike. They untie Jake and leave the room. Mike is still knocked out from the two needles they stuck him with.

Back at the high school.

"Where's Jake?" Henry asked Sarah.

"I don't know." Sarah shrugged.

"He's probably in detention again." Mark said to them.

"Probably. I'll go check." Sarah said to them.

Sarah goes back into the school. Frank and Nick see their opportunity to grab her and walk in the school. Mark and Henry see them but, think that they're just their to pick up their kids from school. Sarah goes to the detention room and doesn't see Jake in there when she turns around Nick grabs her. Sarah kicks him the shin and runs off. She is cornered when she runs into a dead end. Nick and Frank grab her. Sarah is putting up a fight biting them and kicking them. Frank takes out a needle and sticks it in her but, he only gets half of it out because Sarah was fighting back and the needle fell out of Frank's hand and on to the floor.

"Leave it." Nick told him.

Frank picks it up and throws it in the garbage. Sarah is unconscious. Their is an exit near them and they take her out that way. Frank calls the driver of the limo and the limo pulls around the back. They put Sarah in the limo with them and drive off.

"Jimmy says the oldest boy was the weakest one." Mr. Galleo told them.

"Maybe, we should of grabbed him first and saved this one for last." Frank said to him.

They take Sarah back to the mansion and put her in the room with Jake and Mike.
