THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN!
xXx
Jaden's POV
"Jaden, I don't think the time has changed in the last two seconds," Morgan said. I was looking at my watch…again. It has been ten minutes since Alexis went to the bathroom and she hasn't come to meet us at Hot Topic yet. I dropped my arm and looked at Morgan.
"Yeah, well, I'm just wondering what's taking Alexis so long," I explained. She nodded.
"We'll go look in the bathrooms once Mark buys that shirt," she said sighing. I chuckled. Neither of us could believe that Mark wanted to buy a shirt from Hot Topic. If it didn't have something to do with surfing or California, usually Mark didn't want it but he really wanted this shirt.
Flashback
"Oh my god! It's a Hello Kitty shirt! I want it!" Mark exclaimed as he dug through a pile of shirts trying to find his size.
End Flashback
I smacked my forehead when he did find his size and actually went up to buy it. The gang was standing outside the store. Syrus couldn't handle it anymore so they all just decided to wait in the hall. Morgan and I were waiting in the store for Mark. Because even if we were standing right in the doorway, He would wonder the store trying to find us. Trust me, he's done it before.
"Alright, let's roll," Mark said. He took Morgan's hand after shifting his bags to his other hand. I sighed and we walked out of the store. I looked around our little group trying to find Alexis but I couldn't find her. I felt a pang of nauseous run through my stomach.
"Alexis not here yet?" Morgan asked. Atticus shook his head.
"Nope, not yet." He didn't sound worried however, which was odd for him.
"And you're not worried?" I asked. He shrugged. Zane looked at him.
"How unlike you," he noted. Atticus chuckled.
"I know but I realized that I baby my little sister too much. She needs space so I figured I wouldn't worry like I used to." Zane and I looked at each other and shrugged.
"Well, let's go see if she's in the bathroom," Morgan said. We all nodded and began walking in the direction of the restroom.
xXx
I was leaning against the wall by the girls' restroom. Morgan went in to try and find Alexis. The gang was standing around me.
"I honestly don't think we should worry. I bet Alexis is just fine," Blair said. I sighed but ignored her. Morgan walked out of the bathroom, her face was worried. I stepped away from the wall.
"She's not in there?" She shook her head.
"It's completely empty." I turned to look at Atticus.
"Time to worry now?" He was biting his lip; he nodded.
"Hey, what's this?" Hassleberry asked. I looked at him. He was holding something between his index finger and thumb. I took it from him and placed it in the palm of my hand. It was a blood red toothpick. It had a few bit marks in it. I knew right away who this toothpick belonged to. I contracted my hand around it, snapping it in half but also impaling my palm.
"Danny," I growled. Morgan looked at me.
"What about him?" she asked. I turned to look at her. She gasped and took a step back. I extended my closed hand toward her. She flinched. I opened my palm. Blood dripped from my palm and landed on the floor. I didn't care though. Morgan looked at the broken stick in my hand and gasped. She looked up at me. "You don't think…" she began. My growling interrupted her. She gulped. "I'll take that as a yes." I nodded.
"Hey check this out," Syrus said. I turned to see him holding a white cloth. It looked damp. I felt my eyes grow wide. I snatched from his hand and held it to my mouth, inhaling it lightly. I gagged and pulled it away. I looked at Morgan.
"Chloroform," I growled. She gasped.
"Danny, chloroform, and Alexis has gone missing. Seems like too much of a coincidence." I nodded and shoved the cloth into my pocket.
"Let's go," I said.
"Where?" Atticus asked me. I turned to look at him. He blinked once in confusion.
"The police banquet."
xXx
The gang and I, plus Mark and Morgan, arrived at the banquet hall just as a car was pulling up. A man with brown hair and light brown eyes stepped out of it.
"Dad!" Atticus yelled. The man turned in the direction of Atticus' voice. He gasped when he saw us.
"Atticus! What are you guys doing here?" Atticus' dad, whose name is Travis, asked. Atticus bit his lip.
"Well, you see, Dad, Alexis was kinda…kidnapped," he explained. Travis' eyes grew wide and looked at us.
"How?" he demanded.
"Chloroform and a very strong seventeen year old," Zane said. I heard Travis growl. He turned and began walking down the street, away from the banquet. Atticus ran after his dad.
"Where are you going, Dad?" he asked.
"I'm going to the police station. I'm going to have to talk with their officer of missing persons," he explained. Atticus nodded and followed by his side. The gang ran after him as well. I stopped and looked inside the banquet hall. I caught site of my reflection. My eyes were a very dark, yet light, honey brown. I sighed and they slowly changed back to their normal brown.
'I hate when that happen,' I thought, sighing. I turned and ran back down the street toward the police department.
xXx
"I'm afraid I can't help you, sir," the officer in charge of missing persons answered. His name was Carl. Travis slammed his fists down on Carl's desk.
"Why can't you help?" he demanded. Carl kept his expression calm. He has to deal with this kind of thing on a daily basis.
"Your daughter has not been missing for twenty four hours. I cannot do anything until she has been. I'm sorry, but it's out of my hands at the current time," Carl answered.
"I'm the chief of police in Poko City, I think you can make an exception for me," Travis said. Carl sighed.
"Well, it's very nice to meet you Mr. Chief of Poko City Police but this is Ochi City, not Poko City. You carry no power here," he replied. Travis' teeth locked together. I stayed in the back of the department, my arms folded across my chest.
"Well than I'll just go speak with Chris and get this matter straightened out!" he yelled. He turned and stormed away from Carl's desk.
"He's at the banquet," Carl called after him. "You'll never get in!" Travis stopped in the doorway and glared at Carl.
"Just watch me!" He slammed the door behind him.
xXx
"I'm afraid I can't let any of you in," the receptionist of the banquet hall said. Her name was Cindy. Travis had his hands balled into fists resting on the counter top.
"Why is that, may I ask?" he asked. His temper was extremely thin right now. Cindy sighed.
"For one, you are the only with a ticket. And for another reason, the Chief the Year award is just about to be given. I was given strict instructions to allow no one to enter while the speech and award are being given. I'm sorry but…" Cindy explained. Travis interrupted her.
"Yeah, yeah. It's out of your hands." He sighed.
"What now, Dad?" Atticus asked. Travis looked down at his son.
"I guess we have to wait for the speech to be done." I locked my teeth together.
'Not good enough! Danny could get anywhere in that time!' I thought, growling. I sighed and snuck away from the group the corner of the entrance room. I pulled out my cell phone and held down the eight button. I pressed the phone to my ear when the screen read "calling Baby Girl (Sam)". I knew she'd have it on. 'Please not let Mike have made sure she turned off her phone!'
xXx
Narrative POV
Sam's phone vibrated in her purse. She grabbed it off the table and held it in her lap. Her family glared at her. May leaned over, cradling Emma gently in her arms.
"I thought I told you to turn your phone off!" she hissed. Sam smiled at her.
"Sorry, Mom, I thought vibrate was good enough," she said. May sighed and leaned away. Mike narrowed his eyes at his daughter. The phone didn't stop vibrating. Sam dove underneath the table and pulled out her phone.
Jaden calling…
"Okay, why is Jaden calling?" she whispered. She pressed answer and held the phone to her ear.
"Sam!" Jaden breathed into the phone.
"No, you called God. But you reached Gabriel. What would you like me to tell God?" she said sarcastically.
"Not funny, Sam. I'm in no mood for jokes," he replied, his voice drained of all humor. Sam blinked.
"What's up?" Mike lifted up the table cloth to look at her.
"Samantha, if you don't hang up that phone and turn it off, you're grounded for a month! From everything!" he threatened. Sam eeped and nodded. He dropped the cloth. Sam cupped her hand around her mouth so she could speak quietly into the phone.
"Jaden, I have to go."
"Sam, wait! I need to talk to my dad!" Jaden interjected. She sighed.
"Through all his years as Chief of Police, this man has helped this city through its most difficult times. So it's my privileged honor to award this year's Chief of the Year award to Mr. Chris Yuki!" the announcer called out. Clapping erupted around her.
"Kinda impossible now. He's on stage."
"Samantha…," Mike whispered.
"I'm hurrying," she whispered back. "Jaden," she began but he cut her off.
"Alexis has been kidnapped and I need to talk to Dad!" She blinked.
"UNCLE CHRIS!" she yelled. She dove out from under the table and crawled up the stage, propping up on the edge of the stage. "UNCLE CHRIS!" Everyone was staring at her. Mike had his face buried in his hands. Brad was whispering in Chelsea's ear.
"I do not know that girl." Chris was up at the podium and was just about to begin his speech.
"What is it, Samantha?" he asked without turning his head to look at her or moving his lips so much. Sam held up her hand with her phone in it.
"Phone call." He sighed.
"I'm kind of about to begin my speech, Sam." She waved her phone in the air.
"PHONE CALL!" He let out an annoyed sigh.
"Excuse me just a moment while I try and sedate my crazy niece."
"Good luck with that!" Mike yelled. Sam turned to glare at her dad. Chris walked over to her.
"What is it!?" he growled. Sam handed him the phone.
"Phone call, duh, why do you think I've been yelling phone call? Because I want to give you hug, no, because you have a phone call," she said. He grabbed the phone from her and pressed it to his ear.
"What is it?"
"Dad, I need your help," Jaden said.
"Can't this wait?"
"Danny kidnapped Alexis." Chris blinked.
"Where are you?"
"In the entrance room."
"Give me three minutes." He snapped the phone shut before Jaden could say anything else. He dropped the phone into Sam's awaiting hands and walked back to the podium. He cleared his throat. "Once I heard that I was receiving this award, I spent weeks working on the perfect speech. Last night, I finally got the speech just perfect but now I have to throw that entire speech out the window," Chris began. "Something very important has come up and, if you'd so kindly excuse me, I have to go do what earned me this award." With that, he jumped off the stage and began walking out of the room, leaving his award on the podium. He loosened his tie on the way out.
"What is he doing?" Mike asked.
"I don't know. I think he's finally fallen off his rocker," Jake answered.
"Let's go," Mike said. They stood up and ran after their brother and chief. The rest of the Yukis stood up and followed them out, leaving an audience of confused people. The announcer stood at the podium.
"Um, well then." He grabbed Chris' award, "I guess I'll just hang onto this until he returns for it."
