Victor and Gar searched through the woods once again. The sun was setting and darkness was consuming the entire wood.
"Gar, let's go. It's getting really dark." Victor said.
"Just ten more minutes, dude. I think we're close." Gar said as he kept walking.
"No man, it's getting really dark. If it gets really dark then how can you find it? It's been two hours. We'll check Saturday morning." Victor said as he grabbed Gar's shoulders.
Gar sighed. "Alright, dude…..but we're checking early in the morning that day."
Victor smiled. "Come on, man. I'm hungry."
Gar laughed. "Yeah, me too."
The two teens walked off to the car and drove off unaware of the man watching them.
Monday soon came and Gar sat in his usual seat in Biology. He looked at Rachael's empty seat.
"I'll bring you back Rachael. I promise." Gar thought.
The bell rang and the students got up from their seats leaving the classroom. Gar walked out of the classroom to the lunchroom. His friends sat at their usual seats at lunch. He approached them and sat down.
"So are you guys getting closer to finding Rachael?" Richard asked.
"Yes!" Gar said excitedly.
Kori giggled. "Oh wonderful! I can't wait to see Rachael again."
"So Gar, we're going to search for Rachael again this weekend right?" Victor asked.
"Count me in too." Richard said.
Gar sighed. "Yeah, I wish we could search this week, but my mom wants me to do my work." Gar said as he sat back in his chair.
Richard laughed. "Well I don't blame her."
"Shut up." Gar said as he threw a fry at Richard.
"I really do miss Rachael though. I never thought that she would become a friend of mine." Richard said with sadness.
"Me too. I never really thought you could get to her Gar." Victor said sadly at first.
Gar smiled. "I told you I have a way with the ladies.''
The four friends laughed at their goofy friend.

Trigon grabbed the beer that was sitting on the table. He opened the cap of the beer bottle and took a big chug. He and the guys were in the living room drinking and having a good time. They laughed and conversed. Beer bottles were thrown all over the floor, and the guys were having a great time. Mason sat at the far end of the group with a soda. He thought on how to help Rachael but still had nothing. He drank his soda still in thought.
A man from the grouped hit Mason's arm. "Grab a beer, Mason." The man said in a drunken tone.
Mason shook his head no.
"Mason, how come you don't drink no more. You use to be the life of the party!" Another man from the group said.
Mason shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know man."
"Come on Mason. What are you thinking?" A drunk man asked.
"I bet he's thinking of ways to rape my daughter." Trigon laughed as he took another sip from his beer bottle.
Mason glared at the drunken man. "I'm not."
"I bet you are." Trigon said. He soon got up from his side of the table and walked towards Mason. He gave him a beer bottle. "Come on, Mason. Take a swig and all your problems will go away." Trigon smiled as he handed him the bottle.
Mason looked up at Trigon. He then looked at the bottle. He took the bottle and took a big chug of the bottle. The group of men applause Mason as he drank the beer.
"I'll be back guys." Trigon said as he went upstairs to his bedroom. He stumblingly went up the stairs. He made his way to his room and saw Rachael sleeping in her corner of the bedroom. Trigon turned the lights on and looked around the room. He searched under the rickety bed and in the closet. He looked at the sleeping girl and woke her up. Rachael slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room. She saw her father, and knew he was angry and drunk.
"Where is it!?" Trigon asked angrily.
Rachael slowly backed away from the man. "Where's what?" Rachael said sacredly.
Trigon glared at her. "Don't play dumb with me. Where's my booze! You've been in here all night!"
"I don't know. Maybe one of your friends has it." Rachael said fearfully.
"You better pray to God that they do." Trigon said as he walked out of the room.
Rachael sighed in relief. She slowly went back to the corner of the room. She sat there in silence, praying that his friends have the booze.
Trigon walked down the stairs. He entered the living room still looking angry.
"Trigon, what's wrong with you?" A man asked.
"I can't find my booze." Trigon said angrily.
"How can you lose booze?" One man laughed.
"Exactly. I think my daughter drank it." Trigon said.
"Maybe she did. Maybe she didn't." Another said.
"I'm about to beat her up for it." Trigon said angrily as he got a bat from the closet.
Mason soon realized what was happening and soon got out of his daze. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Be reasonable Trigon. She couldn't have drank it."
Trigon looked at the man standing in front of him. He glared at him. "Why do you want to help her Mason?"
Mason shrugged. "I'm not heartless, dude."
"Well I still don't have my booze." Trigon said angrily.
"Trigon! I found it! It was in the cabinet." A man said.
Trigon looked at the man and went quickly to his booze. "Good. I spent good money on it."
Mason sighed in relief.
"Who wants some?!" Trigon said with a smile as the men cheered him.
Mason silently backed out of the group of men and went upstairs. He walked up the stairs and entered the bedroom. He saw Rachael curled in the corner crying. He quickly went to her and wrapped his arms around her frail body. "Hey are you ok? Did he hurt you?"
Rachael kept crying. Mason hugged her tighter and tried to soothe the scared girl.
"Please help me get out of here. I can't deal with the beating anymore." Rachael cried.
"I'll help you…I promise." Mason soothingly said to the girl.

The bell rang and students walked out of the higschool cheerfully. Gar walked out with his friends tagging along with him.
"I'm just saying. If she's gonna' check me out then SHE should ask me out." Victor ranted about as he and the group walked home.
"Friend, you must ask her out. Girls do not like to be asking the guys out." Kori said as she argued back with her friend.
"No way! Girls should pull their weight when it comes to asking out. Why do we guys have to do all the work?" Victor said.
"Friend, stop talking." Kori said getting annoyed.
"You know I'm right." Victor said with a triumphant smile.
Kori soon became angry and punched his arm.
"OW!" Victor said as he rubbed his arm.
Kori smiled triumphantly as Victor rubbed his arm.
Richard and Gar laughed. "You should keep your mouth shut next time." Richard laughed.
"Alright guys. I gotta get home. Mom wants me home as soon as possible to help her with dinner." Gar said.
"I bet your mom misses Rachael's help in the kitchen." Victor sad.
"Yeah she does. Now I gotta' do most of the work now." Gar said.
The four friends laughed and waved their friend goodbye. Gar walked up along the long sidewalk. He passed Rachael's house and kept walking. He suddenly heard a whisper. He turned and saw nothing. He kept walking until he heard a whisper.
"Hey kid. Kid, come here." Said a whisper.
Gar turned around and saw a man wearing a black shirt and pants. He had a black hat on as well. He walked out of the alley and walked up to Gar. Gar backed away. "Whoa. Stranger danger." Gar said.
Mason laughed. "No kid. You know this girl." Mason took a picture out of his pocket. He showed the picture of Rachael.
"Oh my gosh, Rachael! How do you know her! Where is she!?" Gar said in astonishment.
"Calm down, kid. I'm here to help you." Mason said.
"Where is she!? Please." Gar begged.
"I know where she is...Do you have a piece of paper so I can give you the address of where she is?" Mason asked Gar.
Gar quickly reached into his book bag and took out a piece of paper and pen. He gave it to Mason, and he wrote down the address.
"Here kid." Mason said as he gave the paper to him.
"How do you know where Rachael is? Is she alright?" Gar asked Mason.
"I can't tell you everything kid, but all I can tell you is that Trigon took her and hurry up and get your girlfriend. She needs you." Mason said.
"Kid, try doing it in the night. When everyone is asleep so you can ambush." Mason said with a smile.
"Thanks. Thank-you so much!" Gar said happily.
"No problem, kid. Come get your" Mason said as he went back into the alleyway.
Gar looked at the piece of paper and raced home. He entered the home and quickly told his parents.
"Wait. So you're telling me that a man from an alleyway told you where Rachael was?" Mr. Logan asked.
"Yes! He even showed me a picture of her!" Gar said.
"Gar, you know I don't want you talking to strangers." Mrs. Logan said.
"I know, mom. He came to me and I went 'stranger danger' to him like you taught me." Gar said as he put his hands up.
Mrs. Logan nodded. "Mom, dad, we have to look for her tonight. That's what the guy told me!" Gar said excitedly.
"I don't know, Gar." Mr. Logan said as he thought about.
"As much as I hate to do this, but let's take this to the police." Gar said.
Mr. and Mrs. Logan looked at each other.
"Ok, son. I guess we should." Mr. Logan said.
The Mr. Logan called the police giving them the vital information. To Gar's relief, they said to investigate tonight. The Logan family tagged along with the police in order to see if Rachael actually was at the destination.

Mason walked inside the house and saw the group of men drinking once again. They acknowledged Mason and greeted him.
"Want a drink?" A man asked.
"Nah, I'm too tired." Mason said as he walked up the stairs.
Mason entered Trigon's bedroom and saw Rachael looking out the window.
"Hey there." Mason said with a smile.
Rachael turned around and saw Mason. "Oh hey." Rachael said quietly.
"Are you ok?" Mason asked.
"Yeah, I just don't feel too well."
"You're stomach?" He asked.
"Yeah." Rachael said as she sat on the bed.
Mason smiled. "Well I have a feeling you'll be feeling better soon."
"What do you mean?" Rachael asked.
"You'll see." Mason said.
Rachael looked confusingly at Mason. "Ok?"
(&)
The Logan drove behind multiple cop cars. The cops followed the address that was given to them. The multiple cars drove silently in the wooden area. Gar looked ahead anxiously. "We're coming Rachael." Gar thought.
The cops finally pulled up silently in front of the abandoned house. Cops silently got out of the car and surrounded the house. The men inside never knew what was coming.
(&)
Mason looked out the little window and saw movement. He looked at Rachael who still sat on the bed and quickly grabbed her. Rachael looked at him even more confusion.
"Mason, what are you doing?" Rachael asked.
"I'm getting you out of here." Mason said.
Just as Mason said those few words. Loud sirens were heard outside the house. Noises were heard in the living room. Men downstairs were cursing and yelling. Rachael soon became scared. "What if my father comes up here to get me?"
"Not if I have anything to do about that." Mason said.
The sirens became louder and a cop was heard.
"Come out with your hands out!" A cop's voice was heard.
A few men came out of the house with their hands up crying for mercy.
Cops slowly entered the house with their guns raised. Some men put their hands up in fear of being shot while some men fight, including Trigon. Trigon fought against the cops. He brought a gun out and started firing at the cops. Rachael curled closer against Mason in fear as she heard more gunshots. Trigon kept firing at the them until the cops fired back in defense. The cops took cover and fired at Trigon. Bullets zoomed past Trigon, but one bullet hit Trigon in the heart. He stumbled back and fell over on the ground. Mason heard the gunfires stopped and heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Mason soon realized that it was the cops and screamed for help. The police followed the voice and entered the bedroom. The quickly withdrew their guns once they saw the two curled in the corner Mason soon gave Rachael to them. "She needs a lot of medical attention." Mason said to them as they carried the fragile girl from the corners. Mason followed the cops down the stairs and saw the dead body of Trigon. He shook his head and walked out of the house. "You deserve this, Trigon" Mason thought to himself as he walked out of the house. The cops soon walked out of the house and quickly took Rachael to the ambulance. Gar stumbled through the group of cops and quickly ran to Rachael.
"Rachael!" Gar said as he hugged the girls in the police's arms.
The officer let go of Rachael and put her down to re-unite with Gar. Gar hugged Rachael as tight as he could. Rachael hugged Gar tightly as well as tears ran down her face. Gar soon gave Rachael a long loving kiss. Mr. and Mrs. Logan ran up to the girl. They hugged and kissed the weak girl. Rachael looked at them and cried in happiness. A paramedic soon came up to them and took Rachael onto the stretcher in order to take her to the hospital. Gar went into the ambulance with Rachael as his parents followed the ambulance. Gar kissed Rachael passionately. "I'm so happy to have you back." Gar said as he rubbed her face.
"Me too." Rachael said with a big smile.

Hey guys! Here is your new chapter! I'm sure you guys enjoyed it. You may think that the story will end now, but it isn't. I want to give props to TheImaginativeFox. It was her idea of having Mason come to Gar and give him the info on where Rachael was being held. I want to give her props to it because if I didn't then that would be men and I don't want to be mean. Please leave a review on what you think of this chapter.
(P.S.) I'm thinking of starting a new story. It'll be a Terra bashing. I always wanted to do a Terra bashing so tell me what you think. Should I do a story on Terra bashing, or should I do a different story plot. Anyway! Leave a Review!
