Sakura sat there, crying her eyes out when she heard her name.

"Sakura?"

Sakura looked up. Syaoran stood there in her doorway with a worried look on his face. Sakuar couldn't help but cry harder. She got up and ran to Syaoran and clung to him.

"She...was...right!" Sakura managed to say between sobs.

"Who? Who was right?" Syaoran said as he tried to calm Sakura down.

"Tomoyo! Maya and Jack were kidnapped!" Sakura screamed. She felt her knees give in and would have crashed to the floor if Syaoran wasn't holding her. Instead, he gently let her sit on his lap and let her cry.

"It's okay. We'll get them back." He soothed.

"How? They want 1 million Canadian dollars! I don't," 'Sakura hiccuped, "have that kind of money! I'm only 17!"

"Okay. First you need to try and calm down first." Syaoran said. He held her close and felt her breathing becoming normal. "Now, we need to talk to the police."

"No!" Sakura screeched. "The man said if we inovlved the police, they'd...they'd." Sakura couldn't bear to finish her sentence.

"Well, we have to. They're already downstairs." Syaoran said. Sakura nodded. He grabbed Sakura's shoulders and rose. They were standing, but Sakura still wasn't able to stay steady, so Syaoran held her while they went downstairs to talk to the police.

"Sakura!" Tomoyo cried. She ran to her best friend's side, Eriol following her.

Tomoyo and Syaoran helped Sakura sit down. "I'll go get the officer." Syaoran said.

"What happened?" Eriol said as he sat down as well. Sakura suddenly just burst into tears. "Oh, I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean to upset you." He apologized, but she kept crying. Syaoran walked over with the officer.

"Sakura," Syaoran started as he put his arm around Sakura's waist. "this is Officer Akai. You need to tell him what happened when that man called you."

"What man?" Tomoyo asked.

"The man," Sakura sniffed, "that kiddnapped the Maya and Jack."

"What?" Eriol and Tomoyo said at the same time.

"Now Miss Kinomoto, I understand this is hard for you, but please try to explain in as much detail as you can what happened." Officer Akai said.

"Well," Sakura said as she calmed down a little, "I went upstairs and I was crying. Then I got a phone call from this man. I didn't recognize his voice, but it was really deep. Anyway, he was talking about how he had Maya and Jack and how if I called the police they would..." Sakura trailed off and looked down. She leaned on Syaoran's side and rested her head on his shoudler.

"After that?" The officer pushed.

"He asked me to bring 1 million Canadian dolars." Sakura stopped at Tomoyo's gasp. "He said he'd call again to tell me where to bring the money." Sakura finished.

"Alright Miss Kinomoto. What we need to do, is trace your phone calls. This will tell us where the phone calls are being made from. When he calls again, we'll track that man down and catch him."

"Are you sure?" Sakura asked.

"Positive." Syaoran asnwered before Officer Akai could reply.

Sakura whiped the tears off her face. "I'd better get my phone." She stood up too quickly and got a sudden head rush and fell into Syaoran's arms.

He sat up Sakura and held her hands in his. "No. Sit. I'll get it." He looked at Tomoyo. "Could you get her something to drink, please?"

"Yeah." Tomoyo got up and headed for the kitchen. She came back with a glass of water. Syaoran made sure she drank it before he went to get Sakura's phone.

When Syaoran got back, Sakura and Tomoyo were talking about where they'd get all that money.

"Tomoyo, I can't accept money from you."

"Are you insane? This is no time to be polite. Who knows how much longer it will take for that man toc all back and in that time, you need the money." Tomoyo argued.

"I'll pitch in." Eriol said.

"What?" Sakura yelled.

"Me too." Syaoran said.

"What the hell, guys. I can't let you guys. I will never be able to pay you back!"

"Who said anything about paying back?" Tomoyo said.

"Excuse me?" Sakura questioned.

"You don't have to pay us back. This is a COMPLETE emergency and is worth it. Jack and Maya are worth it." Tomoyo grabbed Sakura's shoulders. "You're worth it!"

Hot tears began trickling down Sakura faces and she finally gave in.

"Thanks guy." Sakura attempted to smile.

It was about 10:30pm and there weren't many police officers as there were before. Tomoyo finally got Sakura to sleep for a while. She promised to wake her up if the phone rang. Syaoran and Eriol were talking to Officer Akai about how they were going to actually catch the guy.

12:00am

Sakura shot up as soon as she heard the phone ring. The room had quietted down. Her phone was connected to the device where phone calls are traced (AN:What is that called?) and also a speaker so everyone could hear the other end of the conversation. They all waited for Sakura to answer the phone. Sakura gathered herself and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" She said, shakily.

"The abandoned warehouse on left of the plaza near the contruction site. 1am. Any later," He stopped there and following that was a piercing scream from Maya.

"STOP!" Sakura shreaked. The man on the other end of the line let out a little laugh and then hung up.

"Oh my God." Tomoyo cried. "He's a freaking physco path!"

"What gave you your first clue?" Eriol rolled his eyes.

"Earl, check the scans." Officer Akai said.

Earl checked the data and came up with a conclusion. "He has some sort of protection on his phone. It didn't trace anything."

"Shit." The officer replied.

"What? WHAT?" Sakura cried. "YOU SAID IT WOULD WORK!"

"Calm down." Tomoyo conforted her best friend.

"We have to go down there." The officer pointed out. "I'll get some of my best men on this. Don't worry Miss Kinomoto. We'll get em." He said before leaving to make a call.

"Sakura, it'll be fine. We have the money, and the police. People like that man never get away with it. They get caught and get put away in mental asylums for life." Tomoyo said.

"That's not really true is it?" Sakura whimperd.

"Well, it's what\s gonna happen to this guy." Tomoyo said with a smile.

"Alright," Officer Akai began. "We've got to get the money and head on over there. Miss Kinomoto, you will go alone, but we will be following you and surrounding the warehouse."

"I'm not letting her go in there alone." Syaoran protested.

"Syaoran," Eriol started. "Don't be stupid. If she doesn't go alone, who knows what that whack job will do. She needs to go alone."

"He's right." Sakura said.

"But-"

"No." Sakura cut him off. "How about this. After I go in, and don't come out after 15 minutes, you can come in and kick his ass if I already haven't." She smiled

Syaoran sighed, "Okay."

"Alright, we gotta get going." Officer Akai said.

"Let's go." Syaoran said.

12:50-Abandoned Warehouse

"Are you ready?" Syaoran asked a very fainted looking Sakura.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Sakura took a deep breath, grabbed the bag of money and made her way towards the buliding.

When Sakura walked in, her cell phone rang.

"Hello?" She said.

"Go straight." said the voice. Frightened about how he knew she arrived, she still move forward.

"Make a left." She did as she was told.

"Keep going straight until you see the yellow sign." Sakura kept walking. Her eyes hadn't adjusted to the darkness yet, so at first she couldn't make out the yellow sign. But when she got to it, all it said was storage room number 1. "Open the door." said the voice. She obeyed.

"Hello Sakura. Nice to see you again." said a different voice. It wasn't the one who had been calling. It was someone more familiar. The figure walked out of the shadows. Sakura's eyes widened.

"You?" She whispered, her mind spinning.

This can't be...


Well! How's that for suspense? I'm sorry I had to cut it short but, I wanted to leave a cliffy and I have better things planned for the next chapter. Muahahahaahahah! LOL! Some reviewers are saying things like "No one would just kidnapped kids for ransom." I would like to say, OF COURSE THEY WOULD. But that isn't a concern here. I'm going somewhere else with this. And I would also like to say that this story is coming to a close soon. At least 2 or 3 more chapters, or maybe more. Depending if I get anymore ideas, and the amount of reviews I get. So lets see.
