Chapter Six: Why?
Mia, Kevin, and Mike were still shocked at the news that Emily was home. They all sat silently in their metal cells. But the same thought was running through all of their head, 'Why? Why did he let her go now after all that he'd done? Why did he say she wasn't needed anymore?' These questions were running through all of their heads when someone finally broke the silence.
"What do you think he's going to do to us now?" Mike asked the two remaining rangers.
"I have no idea. We can only hope we won't get it as bad as poor Em." Mia responded sadly.
"Hopefully they'll find us before he can do anything." Kevin added.
"How are they going to find us?" Mike asked.
"Well, Emily's home now. So hopefully she can help them find us." Kevin responded.
"Emily never saw the outside. How is she supposed to tell them where we are? All she can tell them is that we're in a big metal building. Do you know how many of those are in this area?" Mike said.
"I'm just trying to be positive Mike. We're never gonna get outta here if all we think of is how long we're gonna be stuck here." Kevin stated forcefully.
"I'm trying to be positive Kev! But unlike you I don't know for a fact that the girl I love is even alive!" Mike said angrily.

Jayden was sitting in the recovery room, like he had been ever since Emily came home. He didn't want to leave her side. He didn't want to risk her getting hurt again, and he wanted to be there when she woke up. She had been sleeping almost the whole time she'd been home. Besides the few times she had woken up from the pain, or to take her medicine. But Jayden didn't mind watching her sleep, she looked so peaceful and beautiful. She looked like an angel with her golden curls surrounding her face.
"J-Jay?" Emily asked sleepily.
Jayden hadn't noticed Emily had woken up and jumped when she talked to him. When Emily saw this she laughed as best she could without hurting herself.
"Sorry, did I scare you?" Emily asked.
"Just a little bit, I'm fine." Jayden said.
"Thanks for staying with me." Emily said.
"It's nothing. I just want to make sure you're safe." Jayden said.
"Oh, well thanks." Emily said, trying hard not to blush.
"Do you need anything?" Jayden asked.
"Uhm… No, I think I'm fine. I just want to find the others soon." Emily said sadly.
"Speaking of the others, do you have any idea where you were? Where they are?" Jayden asked hopefully.
"Well, I know we were in these little metal cells. It looked kinda like a prison. The building was all metal, and everytime Dekker took me I could kinda see the outside." Emily told him.
Hearing that his team, that Emily, had been kept in a prison and that Dekker had taken them infuriated Jayden. His face was getting redder with anger after every word.
"What did you see outside?" Jayden said, holding in his anger.
"Well, I saw a lot of trees. But there were no other buildings around. Oh and there was a lake. It was small, and pretty far off, but I saw it." Emily said, glad she could help find her friends.
"I'm going to go tell Ji. Maybe he knows where they could be. I'll be right back." Jayden said.
Jayden walked out of the room angrily. He slammed the door as he left, which made Emily flinch. As soon as he was gone Emily took the chance to look at her wounds. She sat up in her bed as slowly as possible. She was unconscious during the beating, and she didn't know what had really happened to her. She knew that Mentor had to stich up her back, Jayden had told her. As she looked at the rest of her body she saw bruises and cuts everywhere. She saw her left arm was completely wrapped up in bandages. Her ankle was also wrapped, she figured it was probably sprained. After seeing what had happened to her, her eyes began to water. She laid back down in her bed, and tried to hold back the tears.

"Mentor!" Jayden called from the common room.
Mentor Ji walked into the room from the dojo, he was helping Antonio practice, he knew that the fight for his team would be hard. So Antonio wanted all the extra practice he could get.
"What is it Jayden?" Mentor asked with a worried look on his face.
"Emily remembered some things she saw out the window." Jayden said.
"That's great. What did she see?" Mentor asked curiously.
"She said she was in a metal prison like building. It was the only building around. She said that they were surrounded by trees. And off in the distance she saw a small lake." Jayden replied.
"Well I'll go see what I can find out." Mentor said as he walked off.

Mia sat in her cell in shock. She didn't know what to see. In that one sentence Mike had told Kevin, and her, two very surprising things. He had told her one, that Kevin loved her. Mia had always guessed that Kevin had feelings for her, but she had never guessed that he loved her. Although, she wouldn't deny she had feelings for the blue ranger either. She had a crush on him since the first week of being at the Shiba house. But she didn't know how to react to the news that he loved her.
Mike had also told Kevin and her that he loved Emily. Mia knew Mike had slight feelings for her younger sister, but again she didn't expect love. Mia didn't know how Emily felt about Mike, besides the fact that they were good friends. Emily had never talked about having feelings for anyone. Mia didn't know what to say. She didn't want to tell him he didn't have a chance, but at the same time she didn't want to get his hopes up, only for Emily to tell him she only wanted to be friends.
As Mia was trying to collect her thoughts Mike and Kevin got into an argument.
"Mike! What the hell? Why did you just say that?" Kevin yelled at the green ranger, clearly angry he had told Mia.
"I'm only saying the truth. It would have come out soon anyways!" Mike yelled back.
"At the right time maybe! But not when we're sitting in these cells hoping we won't die!" Kevin said angrily.
"Well Mr. Let's stay positive! Maybe you should take your own advice!" Mike screamed.
"Boys! Can you not fight for one minute, please?" Mia interrupted.
"Mia, about what Mike said…" Kevin started.
"I don't care what Mike said." Mia responded forcefully.
"But Mia…" Kevin tried again.
"Kevin, I know this is something we need to talk about, but not right now." Mia said.
"But Mia…" Kevin said.
"Mike, I need to talk to you. Right now." Mia stated.
"About what?" Mike said, clearly upset.
"Emily." Mia replied.
