Chapter six
"Mr. Princeton? Your brother's on line 1." Jagger sighed while rolling his eyes.
"Thank you, Miss Rei. I'll get it." He picked up the phone from his desk and answered it. "Yes, Chazz, what do you want this time?" he snapped, rather testily.
"Well hello to you too, big brother. I'm sorry to interrupt you, but can I ask for one small favor?"
"And why should I help you?" Chazz sighed impatiently. His brother was being a jerk.
"You remember Trapper, don't you?" he asked.
"Of course I remember that bastard. So, what's the deal? Your wasting my time, you know."
"I know. But Trapper struck again. He's kidnapped a student to use for his sick games…"
"Like I care."
"Well you should; cause this time he's kidnapped Jesse Andersen," Chazz explained.
"Hold on. Repeat that name again?" Jagger demanded. Chazz smirked. Jackpot!
"Jesse Andersen."
"Isn't he the one who controls the Crystal Beast cards?"
"Yes sir. Will you help us rescue him?"
"If he was any other kid, then no. But this is Jesse Andersen we're talking about here. We'll meet you at midnight tonight. How many are coming with you?" Chazz glanced at the gang, already knowing the answer.
"Just the three of us."
"And the other two are?"
"Jaden Yuki and Jim Cook, he's Jesse's cousin."
J&J
Jesse's PoV
Pain and darkness, that's all that surrounded me. Something is hurting me. I tried to scream, but no sound came out. I feel so scared, so helpless. All I want is to breathe again and be held in Jaden's warm and strong embrace. I want him to protect me, comfort me, and love me. Suddenly, I hear his insane laugh that sent chills down my spine.
"Open your mouth, squirt," demanded the trapper. I refuse. The sharp object that I felt before drew deeper into my side. This time, I screamed in pain. My body goes limp. I can't follow Trapper's demands anymore. All I feel is pain, as I start to fall unconscious. Please find me Jaden. I can't…hold on… much longer…
J&J
Jaden, Chazz, and Jim were waiting at the pier with the rest of the gang. Midnight was approaching soon. The night sky was chilly, and the wind wasn't making the situation any better. But that's what you get when it was in the middle of October, not to mention standing near the ocean, didn't help either.
"Hey Chazz, when are your brothers coming again?" Syrus asked. Chazz rolled his eyes.
"Jagger said they'd be here at midnight." Alexis saw Jaden staring blankly at the endless black ocean. She also noticed that he was shivering slightly.
"Are you alright, Jay?" That caught everyone's attention.
"No, I'm not. I can't stop thinking of how much pain Jesse's going through. I hope he doesn't try to kill himself to get out of his nightmare," he said, sadly. Jim placed a hand gently on the brunette's shoulder.
"Don't say stuff like that mate. I know Jesse pretty well, and I know that he's not the kind to give up, especially since he knows that you will rescue him. You're the one who's telling him to live on."
Sneak preview: 'Jaden vs. Trapper'
"What brings you here?" trapper asked.
"I'm here to take back Jesse, you sick bastard!" Jaden yells. "So where the fuck is he?"
"He's locked in my bedroom," the trapper smirked.
"I've got a lock on him. I know where he is," Jim said, looking at his PDA.
