"That's a good question, Karkat. I've messaged everyone else, letting them know our situation." Kanaya answered.
"Well, we can't motherfuckin do nothin." Gamzee added.
"But then again, there's not much we can do at this this moment, highblood." Equius said.
"Indeed. So for now, we must wait and plan." Kanaya added.
"But, what exactly are we planning for?" Karkat asks.
"Another good question." Kanaya said, sighing.
They were at Equius's hidden hive. Kanaya had messaged the others asking them to meet up, and had Terezi lead them there, since she knew where it was and Kanaya didn't want to take the chance of sending any important information through technological devices, in-case they were hacked.
When the group had arrived, sure that they weren't followed, they had taken up residence, with Equius's permission, of course, and let Nepeta rest in the room connected to the living room they were in, and Dave in a different room, connected aswell. "This is all bullshit." Karkat said, for the 4th time since they arrived.
"Indeed" Kanaya said, "but we have to wait."
"What the fuck are we supposed to do? I mean we have no fucking clue what these fuckers look like, or what kinda shit they have up there fuckassed sleeves."
"Chill motherfucker." Gamzee said simply.
"Urggggggg." Karkat grumbled.
A series of knocks came at the door. "Come in." Kanaya said.
Terezi came in, followed by the others she was told to gather. "What exactly is going on?" Rose asked.
"We'll get everyone up to speed in just a moment." Kanaya replied, "For now, take a seat."
She gestured to the space in the oversized living room. Once everone was seated, she filled them in on what has happened so far. "Karkat, are you sure you're alright?" Aradia asked.
"Yeah, it's what-the fuck- ever." he replied.
Terezia had taken a seat next to him and held his hand, leaning against him. "To carry on, does anyone know anything more on this?" Kanaya asked.
Everyone looked to each other, then eventually to Vriska. "What?" she said.
"Is there any more information you'd care to share, if knowledgeable on?" Kanaya asked.
Vriska shook her head. "Not that I can remember."
"By the way, where'th KJ?" Sollux commented.
Everyone looked around, yet again. "Holy shit, you're right." Karkat said.
"Vriska, would you happen to be in the motherfuckin know?" Gamzee said.
She shook her head. "I have no idea."
"Wwell, doesn't he havve more info then all of us combined?" Eridan suggested.
"Maybe. But then again, he has been tracking this organization for quite a while." Kanaya said.
"Then maybe we should look for him?" Jade asked.
"Maybe. But who would go out to look?" Equius pondered.
"Just message or call the fuckass." Karkat said, smacking his head.
"Right." Vriska said, pulling out her phone.

-AG: hey where are you? ::::(
A couple minutes passed.
-AG: killigan?
"No answer yet." she said.
That's when she got a call. From KJ. "Hel-" she started, when her phone, somehow was on loudspeaker times 50, a girlish giggle came on, then her phone shut itself off.
Everyone jumped, especially Karkat, who's heart skyrocketed the second he heard it. Terezi's hand and body against him made him calm just a bit, enough for him not to freak the fuck out. Vriska dropped her phone. Everyone stared. "WHAT THE FUCK?!" Karkat yelled, to let off some stress.
Terezi hugged him. "Something's not right here.." Kanaya said.
"Equius, check Nepeta's condition. John and Jade, check on Dave."
The three nodded and went to do that. Equius came back shortly. "Nepeta's fine, still resting. Breathing normal."
Kanaya nodded. Good. "Just a... little... situation." John said as they walked back in.
"What is wrong?" Feferi asked.
"Dave's not there." Jade said.
Shock came over everyone's face. "He wasn't awake, in our world at least, when he got here."
"Maybe he got up to get some water?" Gamzee hoped.
Equius shook his head. "No, we would have heard or noticed him."
"Are there windows in there?" Terezi asked.
Jade shook her head. "Nope. Not that we were able to see."
"She's right, no windows in most rooms." Equius added.
They heard a noise from Vriska's phone, still on the ground. A beep. She stared at it for a bit, then picked it up.
-CC: dEd thE rEd blOOd JUMP? ;)

"Seriously, these guys creep me the fuck out. And I'm guessing this shithole ain't secret no more. Right?" Karkat said.
"So it seems." Kanaya replied.
"Fuck this, fuck them, and fuck Dave for getting himself trapped under some weird ass witch-bitch spell." Karkat steamed.
"Terezi, take him and calm him down." Kanaya said.
"Please." Equius added.
She nodded, took his hand, and led him to a room a couple doors down the hall. "The fuck are you doing?" he started, as the door closed.
"Now, while that's taken care of, down to more important matters." Kanaya said.
"Like where Dave is?" John said.
"Yes, and Kiligan" she added.
Vriska shut off her phone, so she didn't have to listen or read anymore of what just happened. She sat down, and just stared at the wall. John pulled his phone out and messaged Dave.

-TG: WHAT?!
-EB: Explain later, for now we gotta figure out how to save you.

John relayed the conversation. "Interesting." Kanaya said.
"Seems like his body is in two places at once. Almost literally." John said.
"You could say it's something like that." Kanaya replied.
"Meh." John replied.
"The question is, how do we find him?" Jade asked.
"The tracking device I implemented on his clothing." Kanaya replied.
"The heck?" John asked.
"Precocious measures."
"Were you expecting this?" Feferi asked
"Yes, and no. I thought something like it may happen. So I acted on that behalf."
"How do we know where it is?" Aradia asked.
Kanaya pulled out her phone and pressed a few things. A compassed showed up, pointing to the direction Dave was in. "Like this."
"Interestinggg." John said.
"Did you do that to KJ too?" Gamzee asked.
She shook her head. "No."
"Let me message some friends, bring them over. They could probably help. Maybe. Who knows." Rose said.
"Sure. Take Gamzee, Jade, and Aradia with you." Kanaya said.
The three that were mentioned nodded and stood up. "Follow me, please." Rose said, leading the way out, the others following.
"Now then, I'll take John, Sollux, and Feferi to apprehend Dave." Kanaya said.
"Equius, you and all else take care over here." she said.
Equius nodded. Kanaya and those she chose walked out, in the direction of the forest. Equius walked up to the door where Karkat and Terezi were in. He quickly walked away, a blush coming over his face. "Wwhat are you blushing for?" Eridan asked.
"What they're doing, for one, and how long they've been in there, for two." he replied.
Equius went to check on Nepeta to get his mind off of the two. He found her awake. "Hey, how are you doing?"
"Meowriffic." she replied with a smile.
"That's great" he said returning the smile, "Does it still hurt?"
"Only a little. But It's much better."
"Good."
He took a seat next the the bed. "Where's Gamzee?" she asked out of nowhere.
Equius looked at her. "Went with Rose to go get some more people, or something."
She closed her eyes. "Okay.."
"Why do you ask?"
"Just wondering."
Equius smiled at the blush creeping on her face. He knew she worried for the capricorn, even when her state was much worse.
...
"Where exactly are we going?" John asked.
"To the forest. Seems like Dave is there." Kanaya answered.
"Oh. Okay."
They continued to walk, the entrance to the forest nearing. They entered, following the compass on her phone. "We should be nearing him." she said.
They walked a few more feet. "He should be right here." she said.
They heard a giggle. "Excuse my language, but shit." John said.
"Thow yourthelf." Sollux said.
"Ohhh, so you can sense me, can you not?" a female voice said.
That's when dave, tied up and hanging upside down, popped out of the trees above them. "Mmmmmmf"
John untied him and Sollux caught him so he didn't fall on his head. "Thanks douches." he said.
"Welcome dickhead" John replied smiling.
"Well, isn't that just lovely?" the voice said.
A female figure came into view, sitting on the branch of a tree in front of them. "Thought I'd return this cutie after I was done with him." she said.
"Uhh.. done?" John asked.
She giggled. "Yes. I got what I wanted, so he's of no use. But I must say, he was.. TASTY." she said with a wink, then she disappeared.
They stared at the branch. "What the glub was that about?" Feferi said.
