Sorry that it's taken so long! I've been feeling like rubbish for the past few weeks. Damn these colds! This chapter is shorter than usual, basically because I wanted to put in a dramatic last piece for this chapter, but I couldn't do it last time.

Enjoy!

Will's POV

Walking inside of the gates of the apparently empty Cabal facility made me feel strangely exposed. We walked slowly, carefully, towards the wooden door at the front of the building, and pushed on it carefully.

It was stuck.

I felt my hands along the edge of the wall next to the edge of the door until I found a small crack in the wall. The Cabal were a high tech organisation who were in charge of the majority of the worlds biggest organisations. I'd bet all my money on that they wouldn't just have a simple lock and key system, especially on one of the main doors.

I pushed at the crack in the wall with my fingertips in the confined space next to the door handle. Finally, I felt a section of the wall give way. Further up the wall next to the door, a small section of metal slid open to reveal a very complicated password system.

"Um, I don't suppose you guys know any of the Cabal's codes do you?" I asked, looking back.

John shook his head "No, but I think I may have found an easier way in" He pointed to a part of the back building " In a place this big there's bound to be a back door"

We walked over to the back building, we looked around the entire outside, John even went so far as to teleport onto the roof, but we only found one door, locked of course. Magnus shook her head "There is bound to be an easy access somewhere, they can't have put codes on all the doors"

"I hate to say this Magnus, but you put codes on all of your doors" I said

"Only in some parts of the mansion" She countered and walked back over to the main building to look for any other ways in. I walked over to a box of crates near the building and looked at all the shrubs and bushes surrounding the walls. Who knew, maybe there was a secret passageway or something.

Something moved in the shadows. I jumped, spinning around and turning to face the crates where I thought I'd seen the movement. Nothing was there. This place was putting me on edge. I decided to go join Magnus and John again, being around other people would make me less jumpy. They weren't around the back of the building, so I decided to try the front, they couldn't have gone far that fast, even if John was a teleportor.

I walked past the main door. Still no sign of them. Where could they be?

I spun around, something had definitely moved behind the building just now. This is starting to get weird. I heard a scuttling sound behind me, I spun around again, in time to see something dart behind a group of bushes nearby. Okay, something is definitely up.

I walked over to the bushes, what ever it was couldn't be that bad, and peered through a group of leaves…

WHAM!

Something jumped out of the bushes and whacked me over the head. I held onto consciousness just long enough to see a dark shape looming over me, before the world was enveloped in blackness.

Magnus POV

I woke up on a kind of bunk, confused, I was looking around, trying to think of how I got here, when the memories cam flooding back. With a jolt I sat up.

"Ow!" I said, rubbing my forehead where I had hit on the bottom of the bunk above me.

Sitting up properly, I tried to remember exactly what order the events had happened in. I was quite sure I could remember what had happened. But I wasn't quite sure in what order my memories were in.

There was a clock on the wall, From the looks of it, I must have been out for at least three hours. I groaned. Damn this! I was supposed to be searching for Ashley, not being knocked unconscious! Knocked unconscious? That was the key. Think!

That's when it came to me. The scuttling noise, the slight rush of wind as it had jumped at me; knocking me out. But what was it that had knocked me out?

"Hello there Magnus" I whirled around to face whoever it was that was speaking. It was a man, he looked to be in his late forties, with greying hair and a scruffy appearance. This man must have been one of the captives of the Cabal. It wasn't that hard to figure out, he did smell like he hadn't showered in a while. A year possibly?

"How do you know my name?" I asked him. "You've been quite the topic of discussion amongst the prisoners here, being one myself rather helps to catch up on gossip" He looked at me in a cool, calculating way. I felt like I wanted to shrink under the man's gaze, but I held firm. "Where are the others?" It didn't take someone with experience to realize that they weren't in the same cell.

"Others? You mean the man that was wondering around with you?" He asked me. I shook my head "Men would be a better description as there were two of them." I replied, something didn't feel right about this. "Well then I'm sorry but I only noticed one other man with you, here I'll take you to him."

He opened the door to the cell, I walked out, making sure I was still facing him as I walked through the door. He led me down a corridor with harsh bright lights that stung my eyes, and down a small flight of steps, and stopped in front of a cell, with a figure lying stomach down facing the wall.

Satisfied that he seemed fine in the cell, I turned to the man standing next to me. "So," I said "Who are you?"

The man smiled "My name is David Kent"

Well, geez, that took long enough. It's been three months since I started this chapter do you know? Now that is just sad. Well I hope you enjoyed that chapter, it wasn't actually as short as I thought it would be once I'd written the whole thing out, so that should keep you guys entertained. Please R&R! Enjoy!
