About an hour has passed as Atem, Akio, and Alex were driving towards said mansion. As they left, Souza was lying on the ground still tied up in the chair strapped with wires. Souza wiggled out the best he could as the ropes loosened up a bit and squirmed out reaching for his walkie-talkie. Souza grabbed it and contacted Marik.

"Marik, someone is headed your way. (cough..) And I think you might want to be ready for them." Souza said as he passed out from exhaustion. Marik heard Souza over the intercom. Marik was back in his room as he finished having sexual intercourse with one of the women. He pushed her out as one of his servants took her and sent her back with the rest.

"Bring in the new girl. I have a score to settle with her." Marik told him as the hooded man nodded and dragged the woman back with her feet dragging on the floor. The hooded man brought her back and threw her on the bed and handcuffed her. The hooded man turned to Téa as he walked up to her.

"The boss wants to see you next." Téa's eyes widened in shock as she tried to fight out of his grasp. She got the handcuffs taken off, but she tried to make a run for it. The hooded man grabbed her arms and twisted them behind her back. The hooded man took her and walked down the hall towards a different room. He opened the door to reveal a small torture chamber with a variety of weapons used for sex. The hooded man locked her in chains that were latched onto the wall and she was unable to move anywhere. "Now don't you go nowhere. He will be in with you shortly." The man smirked as he left the room and locked it from the outside.

"Oh great. I really don't need this now. Atem, please try to get here..." As Téa was talking to herself, she heard footsteps coming her way. The footsteps were getting louder and louder until the door began to unlock and opened to reveal Marik in a blue bathrobe.

"Marik?! You kidnapped me?"

"Yes, because I am going to take what should have been mine years ago, your virginity." Marik told her. " And I just found out from a friend that someone is on their way here to try to stop me. Who did you contact?!"

Téa had no idea what he was talking about since she had no communication to anyone since she didn't have her phone with her, "I didn't call for help." Marik smacked her across the face with his hand as she had tears coming out of her eyes.

"Souza told me that two guys and a detective were heading this way to try and stop me. Now tell me who you contacted!" Marik screamed in Téa's face as she choked up in tears and tried to talk.

"I didn't call anybody..." Marik didn't believe her, so he just grabbed her face and kissed her with brute force. Téa was crying and screaming out as she wasn't able to defend herself in her current condition. Marik stopped kissing her and threw her towards the wall.

"I'll make sure that our little friends will be taken care of." Marik left the room and locked the door behind him. Téa was drowning in her own tears and blood dripping out of her lip as she knew Marik bit her lip hard.

"Someone please help me..." she said weakly.

MEANWHILE

Atem was driving along with Akio and Alex as they were in the forest driving around looking for the mansion Souza had told them about. This morning, the three men had found out Téa had been taken and took them hours to find out who took her. It's already 2:30 p.m. and Atem saw a house.

"That house, is that the mansion Souza was talking about?" Atem asked.

"Looks like it. We gotta find someplace to hide the car so Marik won't see us riding up." Akio told him.

"Wait! What if this Marik person knows we were coming?" Alex added.

"I got an idea." Akio had a smart look on his face. "While you guys were getting Souza tied up in the chair, I inspected around the house and put something in the trunk. "I always plan in case of things like this happen."

Atem parked the car nearby the mansion, enough to keep it out of plain sight. The guys got out of the car and opened the trunk to reveal purple robes.

"I'm guessing his workers wear them to prevent being seen." Atem, Akio, and Alex put om the cloaks and hid their faces under the hoods.

"As long as our faces can't be seen by Marik, we can find Téa and get her out of there." Atem, Akio, and Alex shut the trunk and walked the rest of the way towards the mansion. As they walked up to the mansion, they saw it had three floors and had windows barred up in metal cages preventing anyone from jumping out of them. There was someone watching the entrance and saw the trio heading inside.

"Hold it!" The three turned to him as Akio checked his surroundings to see a small camera right above him. "I need to see some identification."

"Oh, sorry." Alex told him. "We're new here. We were just hired and still learning the ropes around here."

"I understand. Just go ahead in." The trio bowed to him as they opened the door. They look inside and they see the place full of dust and cobwebs in every corner of the rooms.

"For someone who fixed up a mansion, he sure doesn't know how to clean up after himself." Akio wasn't that much of a neat freak, but he knows dirty when he saw it. Atem shook off his comment and got back on task.

"We're not here to see the sights." Akio hushed him before he could say anything else.

"We have to watch what we say. There are cameras everywhere." Akio whispered to Atem.

"Let's just get her and go already." Alex whispered back.

"Right." Akio pointed to Alex "You look around down here." Akio pointed to Atem. "You search the top floor. I'll look around on the second floor." They all agreed and started to find Téa on whichever floor Marik put her in. Akio knew Marik had cameras as Marik was actually upstairs on the third floor in his camera room looking at the camera in the first floor.

"Whoever these three new recruits are, I don't like the looks of them. I think I know who they might be. Whoever is sending that one my way better prepare himself, whoever it is." Marik knew it was what Souza told him about, but didn't tell him who it was.

Alex searched the lobby and saw no guards around. He stumbled upon the kitchen as he saw the place in shambles. He searched around and checked doors around the kitchen. He opened one door which led to a small broom closet. Alex opened another door and ended up in a pantry filled with perishable food. He left the pantry and checked around the corner for any other doors.

"It's like this place goes on forever." Alex said to himself.

Akio and Atem were headed to the upper floors as Akio directed him to keep going up as he stayed on the second floor. Atem kept going as Akio searched through each door. Most of the rooms he entered had a bedroom with nobody inside of them and a few people in the rooms fast asleep.

"It seems that his workers live here. Better keep moving." Akio had to keep his voice low as he could as he saw two cameras watching his every move. As he got out of range from the cameras, he took out a slingshot with metal pellets and shot them into the camera's lens. Akio ran off to the next room to find Téa as Marik saw two of his cameras shot out with no signal.

"Damn!" Marik shouted as he slammed his fist on the table. "It looks like I am running out of time before I can seduce Téa." Marik grabbed the microphone by the camera monitors and pressed a red button. "Attention all guards, we have three new recruits in the mansion. As soon as you find them, give them our best hospitality." The guards overheard it and began to look for Akio, Atem, and Alex.

'Great, I got company headed my way. I better find Atem's girl and then get out of this place before we get our asses kicked.' Akio headed to the nearest room to hide and think of a plan to get him and the others out of the mansion in one piece.

Atem kept climbing up the stairs as he heard Marik over the intercom.

'I'm running out of time. I've got to find Téa and get her out of here and away from him!' he thought to himself. As he was on his way to the third floor of the mansion, he started to hear crying. Atem made his way to the third floor as he saw only four doors and a door at the end of the hall. "Okay, I need to focus and listen to where that crying is coming from." Atem closed his eyes and began to listen to the sounds that are surrounding him. He heard the crying from before and he kept walking forward to hear the crying become louder. He opened his eyes to see the first door on the left side.

"The crying is coming from this room." He whispered. Atem turned the doorknob, but wasn't able to open it. "Damn, locked." Atem checked his surroundings to see nobody around as he rammed the door to get it open. He used full force and managed to break the door. He looks around to see Téa chained to a wall as she was crying on her knees wearing nothing but her bra and panties. Atem quickly rushed over to her and picked up her face.

"Are you alright?" Téa opened her eyes to see that Atem finally came to her rescue. Before she could say anything, Atem quickly put his finger on her mouth to keep her quiet. "Relax, I'm getting you out of here."

"Okay..." Atem found a hammer that could break the chains, but he is worried he might end up hurting Téa in the process. Instead, he uses the hammer to throw it directly at another camera in the room. Atem is smart and sharp as he saw the hidden camera in the room. Marik saw the camera go to No Signal as he resorted to drastic measures.

"If that new recruit thinks he's going to leave with her, he's got another thing coming!" Marik removes his robes and puts on decent clothes. A white sleeveless tee, black pants, and grabs a hunting knife. "Time to lose one less hunter!"

Atem uses the hammer that he threw at the camera to break the chains connected to the wall and Téa was free.

"Let's go Téa. We don't have much time." Atem grabbed her hand and run out, but she wasn't able to since she couldn't walk.

"I can't walk. My body is too weak to move." Atem grabbed her and carried Téa on his back. They rushed down the stairs as fast as Atem's legs could carry him. He managed to make it down to the second floor as he ran into another one of Marik's workers, but it was just Alex.

"Oh Téa, you're safe." Alex hugged his daughter as she was safe.

"We aren't in the clear just yet. We need to get outside now." Atem had Téa on his back as Alex ran downstairs to the lobby of the mansion. Before they got to the door, Marik's guards had shown up in front of them.

"Looks like our new recruits wants to leave with one of our prisoners. Let us give them our best way to make them welcome." The guards started to get close to Atem and Alex until pellets were shout from out of the blue and one of the guards stepped back.

"Hey! Who did that?!"

"Why not look up?" The guards saw another hunter in cloak atop the stairs and it was Akio under that cloak. "The next one is going for your gems!" Akio fired more pellets and hit his mark with the guards as they got bruises from them and had their eyes poked out from them. The guards ran off and left right our the door. Akio, Alex, and Atem had an opening as they made their way out of the mansion with Téa until a sharp hunters knife spiked down near the door.

"You aren't going anywhere!" The group turned around only to see Marik with weapons on him. "She is staying with me! And you three are going to be terminated MY way!"

"Damn you, Marik!" said Atem. "You'll pay for what you have done to my love!"

Well, this left me shaking. Now that they found Téa and got the guards running, how are they going to deal with Marik? Do the guys have a backup plan? It is seriously getting suspenseful right now. Just leave those reviews down there and I shall return with the next chapter. See You Next Time!
