A tall dark haired man stood in the doorway. Bridge looked over to Rebecca who appeared frozen. He took a step in her direction but paused when he saw her face change to confusion. He looked from Syd's mother to the man and then decided to take a few steps closer to her. As he did Rebecca had recovered herself, "Derek Jameson!"

"Ah, Rebecca."

Bridge looked back and forth, they knew each other? "Wait. Who's Derek Jameson?"

Rebecca gave him a look and turned back to the man who remained in the door way, "So what are you doing here?"

"I am so glad that you are unharmed."

"Unharmed?"

"You brought us here?" Bridge finally spoke up.

Rebecca glanced at Bridge and then back at the man, "Did you?"

"Rebecca, I don't know what you mean."

"Well I was having dinner at my house and then the next thing I knew I was here."

"Oh…how odd."

Bridge raised an eyebrow, "Why is that odd?"

"Well I was at my country club and I woke up here only about ten minutes ago. I have been searching everywhere for someone to speak too, and I simply can't find anyone."

"Oh dear, perhaps we should look around together."

The two looked over at Bridge who nodded, "Yeah, I suppose we should."

As the man walked out the door, Bridge quickly waved his hand in front of himself so he could see Derek's aura; it was off. He wasn't quite sure what it was, but there was something off in Derek.

After Derek disappeared into the hallway Rebecca spoke up, "What was that?"

He looked to Syd's mother, "What?"

"You, waving your hand…" She paused, looked towards the door and then back at Bridge, "is that your power? Like Syd's?"

"Yes. Well not like hers' because I can't do what she can, but yes because I do have a powe—"

"Alright. Let's go, unless you wish to stay here?"

Shaking his head at the sudden hostility in her voice, Bridge followed Rebecca from the dingy room. At first she seemed interested but then…After walking out the door he saw Derek a little bit down a small, dark hallway; he didn't exactly trust Derek Jameson, regardless that Rebecca Drew did. He would definitely stay with them; he didn't want to allow anything to happen. And something all together was wrong. He did need to think, but that would come as soon as he was able to.

Syd sat up on the couch in the Common Room. She was still reading all that she could on one of the people on her Father's list; it appeared that the person hadn't been in New Tech City for a long time; and yet…he was number one on her father's list. She felt her eyes start to close once more. She couldn't go to sleep just yet; she had just a bit more to go through his history. Her mother and Bridge were still out there, hopefully together.

Standing up she stretched and went slowly over and got herself some hot chocolate. She went back over to the couch and sat down picking up the list her Father had provided them with. Syd had already gone through the list, she had decided to start at the bottom and work her way up. Z and Sky were looking at the names and researching as well.

They had been missing for a day and a half now. It wasn't as long as other kidnappings and she knew that; but it didn't make it easier for her to look at it that way. Shaking her head she drew her thoughts back to her list, which was where the information would come from.

Scanning the list again she remembered all the alibis. Jard Thewis, in Atlanta for a business conference; he was in a room full of people all night. Mitchell Smith, he was actually off planet and so there wasn't a possible way for him to be there either. Jacob Richards, Tanner Myer, Beti Sturgis, William Worthington, he was out of the country, off the planet, in meetings, with more than one person. All the information continually swirled around in her head as she felt her eyes close again; this time she didn't think she had it in her to open them.

"Syd!" The petite blond woke up and found herself in the Common Room still. Shaking her head she looked around and saw Z sitting next to her, "Did you sleep out here all night?"

She felt herself frown, "I guess I did."

Z rolled her eyes, "It's not that big of a deal, you'll be fine."

"Z, that's not what I'm worried about."

It was quiet for a few minutes before Z spoke up again, "I know Syd. Don't worry we will find your Mom and Bridge and they'll both be fine."

Syd sighed, she wasn't sure about this. After all when they had found Syd after her kidnapping…she looked back at Z, "I was going over all the guys and they all have legitimate excuses with people who can back them up. I mean, how are we supposed to figure it out? Did you guys find anything?"

Shaking her head Z looked off, "No, all of mine have alibis, reliable ones too."

"What about Sky's?"

"What about Sky?" They both turned to see Sky walking in with an eyebrow raised.

"Your list?"

"Nothing. Kat is still working where Bridges' morpher is; apparently someone jammed it." Sky frowned and sat down across from the two girls.

"They have to be somewhere." Syd murmured.

"Rangers report to the Command Center."

All three looked up to the familiar voice and quickly made their way to the Command Center. Upon entering they saw Kat standing next to Doggie, "Rangers, Kat has located Bridge's morpher."

A smile quickly found its place on Syd's face, "That's great, lets go."

"Rangers," Kat began waiting for them to look over at her again, "I'm not sure that Bridge is there."

"What do you mean?" Z asked glancing up at Sky quickly.

Doggie spoke, "We're not sure, but we want you to investigate."

The three nodded and then headed quickly out the door.

Bridge, Derek and Rebecca walked down the hallway; Rebecca was in the middle and Derek and she were in the middle of a conversation.

"And that's what you did after we split?"

"Yes. I decided to travel abroad. It was quite interesting."

Bridge was puzzled, split? How well did Derek and Rebecca know each other. Was it one of those relationships that they worked together? Or was it a romantic one? Why were the three of them together? Actually…Bridge thought back to right before he was knocked out.

Z and Syd were still gone. Sky was sitting across from Bridge looking annoyed at the girl talking to him. Jack and Ally were a few seats down. Mr. Drew had just gotten up, excusing himself.

Bridge looked at Sky, "Can you pass the rolls?"

Sighing Sky reached over and handed the rolls to Bridge, "There."

"Thanks."

All of a sudden he heard a scream. He and Sky looked at each other and then they looked down at Jack and Ally. Rachel was across from them and she was pointing at a figure in black. But before they were able to respond in any way the room began filling up with smoke. Everyone began coughing.

Bridge looked around hoping to see Syd. He glanced back over where Rebecca sat, she was gone! He quickly looked to the floor and then up where the window was. He saw her being dragged out. The person's face was covered and they wore all black.

"Hey!" He called out and turned to move out of his seat, although he was going slower than normal. He just couldn't seem to cause any of his limbs to move exactly fast. But at that moment the person holding Rebecca jumped knocking her head against the window frame. When they pulled more firmly their long black sleeve ripped. On their arm was a black tattoo of a beetle.

He found that he was almost out of his chair when he felt himself fall to the floor without ever hitting it

Bridge looked over to Derek and Rebecca, something wasn't right. Derek's aura was off, the color wasn't right. Was there something not right about him? If so how was he going to be able to do anything when Rebecca as denying it.

He knew that he wasn't going to leave her, but…perhaps he had been wrong…maybe since Derek had just woken up…well maybe that was why. Bridge was brought out of his thoughts when he heard a loud crash off to the side of him. All three turned towards the sound.

"What was that?" Rebecca asked her hand to her chest.

"Probably nothing, let's get going."

"Don't you think we should see what it is?" Bridge asked.

Derek looked back ahead, "It could be something bad."

"I think we should have a look." Bridge firmly stated.

Derek gave a wide smile, "Let us ask Rebecca." He looked at her, "What do you think?"

Rebecca looked at Derek and then at Bridge. She then looked at where the sound had come from, she looked down at her hands and then back at Derek and then took a deep breath, "Let's look."

Bridge nodded, "Let's go."

"Wait! This is ridiculous, Rebecca you can't be serious."

"Derek, this young man is with us, we'll be fine." She turned her back on Derek and looked at Bridge, "Shall we?"

Bridge quickly nodded, still not covered from the shock with the difference between this statement and her rant from earlier, and turned to the sound. He slowly opened the door; he could feel Rebecca immediately behind him. It was completely dark in the room and so he began moving his hand along the wall looking for a light switch. As he was doing so he heard a gasp from behind him, turning around he felt rather than saw, Rebecca fall down next to his body. Before he could do anything he felt something hard hit him on the head before he lapsed into unconsciousness.
