It would be three hours before Stephanie woke and she found her self in a room with three other kids who looked around five years old.
"You ok?" One of them piped up
"Where are we?"
"In the holding room. Were going to be sold today."
"Sold?!" She squeaked
"Yeah to new families and most of em are mean!" Another one said
"There has to be a way out." She said
"Well there is a window but were to little to reach it."
Stephanie looked to where they pointed if they stood on her shoulders she could at least get them out. She rushed over to it and told them to climb on her shoulders.
"I have to at least get you three out. If when you get out you see a blue air ship in the sky please call as loud as you can the name Sportacus and then point him in this directing he's my father and he'll help you." She said as the first one climbed over.
Once the three boys were out she tried to jump at the window but just missed it by inches. She looked around for something to stand on and saw an old crate! She pushed it to the window as she heard voices. She quickly pulled herself out and over the window.
She saw the boys were no where to be found and hoped they were safe. Meanwhile she heard a voice in side scream that the children had escaped Stephanie hid behind the dumpster as she heard footsteps.
She didn't see one of the men stick their head out the window and spot her. When he gave her hiding place away she tried to outrun them but was tackled and landed hard on the ground. They dragged her inside.
Meanwhile the three little boys she had saved where running as far from there as they could they soon saw three men on the ground next to a anchor and hid.
"Don't worry Sportacus I can feel she's around her." His father said
"Wasn't that the name of that girls father?" One of the boys whispered.
"Yeah!"
All three boys ran up to the men.
"Your Sportacus right?"
"I am."
"We know where your daughter is. There's a warehouse about three bocks away. Hurry or she'll get sold!" One of them cried
Sportacus ran as fast as he could to the warehouse and kicked in the door. When he looked inside though it was empty. Where was she? Robbie caught up and picked up a ring before looking very angry.
"Robbie?"
"I know who has her and there's going to be hell to pay tonight no one messes with the Lazytown kids but me!" He said before leaving the warehouse.
"Robbie wait where is she?!"
"You go to your dad. We need to return to Lazytown so I can get a few things. Then I'm going after Pixie alone."
"You can't expect me to let you go alone. Robbie she's my daughter!"
"Fine follow me in that damn ship if you want but once we get where were going you let me handle it." He said
Robbie knew the man who had her he had gone to university with him and he always was a sick freak. Robbie didn't know when he'd come to care about the cheerleader so but right now he prayed she wasn't hurt this man had killed before and he was sure given the chance he would do it again. He had recognized this warehouse when they arrived and hoped he would be at his usual spot.
They returned to Lazytown and Robbie went to his lair only to return with a motorcycle and dressed very differently. He put on a pair of sunglasses and looked at the family before him.
"If your coming stay a little bit behind me. When I get closer I'll stop and tell you more." he said starting the motorcycle.
He hadn't used it since university but one doesn't pay for a custom motorcycle just to throw it away. He kept it in working order and in top condition in case he ever had to leave Lazytown fast. Being he was a lazy man he never thought he'd have to.
He took off like a bat out of hell but knew the elf would catch up and if not he would slow down until he did. He hadn't told them where he was going because frankly the less the man knew the better he would feel about his daughter's safely.
The other residents of Lazytown were shocked to see Robbie on the motorcycle and in leather and were even more surprised to see the pirate ship following him. Ziggy however knew why and knew if anything happened to Stephanie he'd never forgive himself he made a vow to get healthy and fit so that next time he was in trouble he could get out himself and not put his friends in danger.
Meanwhile Stephanie was once again bond and gagged and laying in a car heading who knows where. She couldn't see anything out of the windows and so had no way of telling Sportacus where she was. She'd never see her father and family again. Tears slipped down her cheeks.
"Stephanie I'm coming just hold on." Sportacus thought to her feeling her tears.
"Pabbi I don't know where I am."
"Robbie knows where your heading just hold on."
"Robbie? He's with you?"
"He has been since you were taken." He said
For some reason he trusted Robbie to make sure they got there in time. Over the years he noticed the mans attempts to get rid of him were not the same as they had been in fact there was one time he could have easily succeeded and didn't. Right now he just hoped Stephanie would be ok.
Robbie knew the way well to where he was going they would be there in a few hours but he knew what could happen in only a few hours He sped up and looked behind to see the pirate ship increase it's speed to he wanted to get there as fast as he could. Finally they reached the limits of Hiddentown.
He pulled the motorcycle over and waited for Sportacus and his family to desend. He didn't have to wait long.
Robbie pulled a sack out of a compartment on his motorcycle and handed it to the Sportacus.
"Give this to your sister. I can't go alone and you would stick out like a sore thumb. She's just exotic looking enough to get thier attention to let us in." Robbie explained.
"Your going to use my sister as bait?"
"No she'll be safe the whole time so long as she stays by my side."
"I'll go tell her." He said with a sigh
Isabelle looked at the outfit and her eyes went wide she had never showed so much skin in her life but if it was for her niece she would do anything. she emerged from the bathroom dressed and putting her hair in a bun.
"Odin's beard if it weren t for our gal I'd tan your hide if I caught you in a top like that." Nine said seeing her red corset.
Devon looked horrified and Sportacus hoped this would work. Isabelle somehow climbed down considering her boots had six inch heels. She looked at Robbie.
"This better work." She said
He walked closer and took her hair out of the bun.
"It will I know him very well unfortunately. The boots are a weapon of thier own. Just aim low. The top is so you can move without fabric getting caught. Now let's go." He said hoping on the bike.
"I just hope she's all right." Isabelle said wrapping her arms around Robbie's waist as he took off.
"Can you contact that brother of your and tell him to tell Stephanie were on our way?"
"Yeah."
Stephanie meanwhile didn't like the situation she found herself in. She was alone in a room with some strange man. The way he was looking at her made her sick. He was just sitting there staring. Suddenly she could hear her father's voice.
"Stephanie Robbie and Isabelle are on the way just hold on a few more minutes." He urged her.
"Pabbi I'm scared."
"I know Stephanie, I know but help's coming."
Robbie stopped the bike and walked up to a door to an old house and knocked.
"Yeah who the hell is it." A man said opening it.
Robbie removed his glasses.
"Robbie you scaly wag I aint see ya since university how the hell are ya?"
"Oh fine...I heard you have some new product in."
"You sly devil. She's a really cutie to she's with the boss right now but come on in."
Robbie tried not to show his panic if she was with the boss it wasn't good.
"Who's ya gal...selling?"
"No she's from my personal collection. So is the girl you have.!" Robbie said punching the man in the face.
He then proceeded to head up the stairs and kick every door in looking for her. Finally he came to the last door and kicked it in and sneered at the man.
"You dare show your face here Rotten!" The man hissed
Behind him Robbie could see Stephanie and his eyes went soft for a second before returning his glare at the man.
"Isabelle remember when I said aim low?"
Isabelle didn't need told twice she sauntered up to him and kicked him right where it hurt most. The man sunk to his knees and Isabelle rushed to her niece.
"Did he hurt you?" She asked untying her.
"No. Where's Pabbi?"
"Shh nearby love." She said holding the girl close.
"I told you if you continued to do this line of work I would find you. You chose the wrong town to start up again Nate. Lazytown is mine no one messes with it's residents but me! Now I believe the police have never caught you have they?"
"They won't this time either Robert."
"The name is .....Robbie!" He said grabbing something nearby and hitting the man over the head.
"Now that I have your attention. If I ever hear of you doing this again I'll brash your brain in and feed you to the dogs. Now your going to jail this time I promise you that. Isabelle you'll find a phone downstairs call the police then take the motorcycle back to your ship. I'll be by to get my cycle as soon as I make sure this slim ball is going away for good." Robbie said not taking his eyes of the man.
They moved to leave the room and the man grabbed Stephanie's ankle making her trip but Robbie caught her before she hit the ground. He turned his attention to the man on the ground.
"Wrong move buddy." He said puling and forcing him to release her.
Issabelle did call the police but felt wrong leaving Robbie three as she sensed other bed men in the area on thier way to the little house. She called to her brother through thier own bond and hid Stephanie under the stairwell just as a man rushed through the door. She fought him and hoped to hell her brothers and father would get here soon. She could hear fighting upstairs and knew Robbie was in his own battle.
Isabelle having knocked her own opponent out left the room only to go to the kitchen to grab a few paring knives she could throw if needed. She was relived when the next ones to enter the home was her family.
"One of you needs to get your ass up there and help Robbie I've heard a lot of banging and I know someone is hurt I just don't know who." She said
Sportacus knowing Stephanie was safe went to help Robbie. It was a good thing he did because he entered the room to find some guy hit Robbie with a plank of wood. He took over fighting the man and got him knocked out.
"Thanks elf." Robbie said getting up.
"No problem."
The police arrived soon after to a full blown war in the downstairs. The cops tried to decided who was good and who wasn't but ended up cuffing them all before moving upstairs to find two men standing over one large man.
They cuffed all three men and dragged them downstairs. With a room full of people the officer didn't know what to do when the chief walked in.
"Robbie?" He questioned
"Uncle Howard." He nodded
Isabelle knowing it was safe called for Stephanie to come out from the cupboard under the stairs. She rushed to her father and hugged him despite seeing him in cuffs.
"Robbie you wanna tell me what the hell happened?"
"Well you remember in university how I helped you break open that group of men who were selling children off for...various reason? Well the lead guy got away which you know. Then this morning one of his damn goons came to my town and grabbed a kid. We went to thier first warehouse but by time we reached it they had split and I found one of the rings they carry and knew they'd end up here." Robbie said leaving a few things out his Uncle didn't need to know.
"You took down a house full of men on your own?"
"Hell no! I came with some friends which your men have cuffed." Robbie said nodding toward Sportacus and his family.
The chief noticed Stephanie and raise an eyebrow before addressing her.
"Where did you come from?"
"Uncle she's the kid he grabbed."
"Dear lord she's so young."
Soon they were released and were preparing to return to Lazytown. Stephanie hugged Robbie.
"Thank you for trying to stop that man Robbie." She said hugging the tall man.
"Down Pixie. I couldn't let him hurt you."
"See you do care!"
"Do not! I couldn't bare the way everyone would be crying all the time if you were gone." Robbie said folding his arms.
He knew everyone knew it was a lie but he didn't want to admit to himself what he would have felt himself if she were gone.
"Whatever you say Robbie."
Sportacus climbed up after his daughter and grabbed her holding her tight.
"I thought I lost you." He whispered to her.
"I couldn't let him get Ziggy." She cried into him
"Shh what's important is I got you back." He said
