FudoTwin17: Yo!

Cat: And she speaks.

FudoTwin17: Yeah. Anyway, I love you all for reviewing and staying with me for so long.

Dog # 1: I'm sure you do.

FudoTwin17: You'd be right if you weren't being sarcastic. Okay, anyways, I have a lot to say here. A lot has gone on since the last chapter, but I hope it won't affect my updating ability. I really want to finish this fic, because I just love it so much and all of you. Okay, I don't own Yu-gi-oh 5D's. But if I did, you would know, since Yusei and Aki would've kissed and gotten married early on in the series. On to the chapter!

Chapter 13

Carly was very quiet behind Sherry. The two girls had no clue what they were doing, not that they would admit it. However, while Sherry was having the greatest time of her life, Carly was about to faint. It wasn't every day she snuck into a well-known company building to save her friends. Actually, this was the only day.

Her clenched hands tightened further on the stun-gun.

But Carly somehow liked it she would do it all again if she could. There was this rush of adrenaline-this feeling of being able to do or be anything. She knew that one day, she wanted to feel this. She wanted to help people, but that feeling she got when her blood was pumping, she wanted that too.

She was sure law enforcement felt this all the time, but that wasn't right for her. She couldn't do that. It was too . . . . Well, it wasn't her style. She was a storyteller, anyway.

Then it clicked.

She wanted to be a investigative journalist. That was the one thing in the entire world that she wanted to be. Her mom wouldn't be too happy, but it didn't matter. That's what she wanted to do.

But before she got there, she had this story to learn, to complete.

Suddenly, she could hear talking. She moved swiftly, standing next to the door with Sherry. Her eyes darted around the room. The room had two stairs leading down into a room with tables with needles, blood samples, and some other horrible things that Carly didn't know what were called. As well as that, right across from that door was another door. It looked like an elevator, but she didn't know.

However, all of that was trumped by what was on the other side of the room. On a large, metal table laid Yusei with his hands, ankles, and waist all cuffed to the table. He only wore a pair of white shorts. Oh. Carly thought to herself, drawing her attention to a white haired man standing there, talking and smiling at Yusei. Carly blinked. Pervert.

"Now, we wouldn't want Caitlynn to get hurt, now would we?" Yusei's eyes widened in horror.

Carly and Sherry stared at one another completely mortified. What was wrong with this guy? Sure, you can go kidnap their two friends and then threaten them about one another? Seriously?

Yusei seemed to share the opinion. Anger seemed to make him loose his head for a moment and not consider the repercussions, because he did one thing that did not fit the situation at all. He spit on the man. "Goodwin-"

Goodwin smiled. "I'll be back to hear your answer once you've had time to think about it. And don't worry. Your sister is always safe with here. Especially with her big brother protecting her." With that, he began to walk away.

Crap! Carly thought to herself, a sharp intake of break making her jump away from the door.

Goodwin, or at least that was what she thought Yusei had called him, had started walking toward the door. He was leaving. They were dead, they were dead, they were dead!

He made his way up the steps slowly.

No, no, no, no, no, no . . . .

But Goodwin walked right past the door to Carly's shock. She rejoined Sherry at the door who seemed to have never been afraid he'd walk through the door in the beginning. She blinked, frowning. The elevator doors opened and he stepped through, only to disappear.

Sherry immediately stepped into the room, despite Carly's protests of waiting to make sure he was gone, and made her way to Yusei. "Hey! Yusei!" She called.

He blinked, seemly shocked that they were there. "Uh, hi." He said.

Sherry looked at the metal around his hands and around certain parts of his body, frowning. "That will take some time getting rid of." She muttered. "We may need Jack."

Yusei frowned. "How many of you are here?" He asked.

"Jack, us, Crow, and Aki." At the last name, he made a face. He didn't want any of them there. They would get hurt. Or worse.

Sherry pulled out her communicator and relayed the message. "Jack, we need you. We found Yusei."

"Okay." Jack's voice came through the communicator slightly sketchy. "Where are you?"

Sherry frowned. "Uh, west wing. Halfway down the hall. The doors ajar."

"Got it." He replied. "I'm on my way."

Sherry nodded, putting away her communicator and pulling something larger from her bag. It was a huge piece of machinery with a spinning blade on the edge. Sherry smirked. "Now this is more Caitlynn's speed." She turned it on.

However, before she could apply it to Yusei's cuffs (as she was ignoring the look of fear that she would hit him by accident), a voice came from right behind her. Very close behind her.

"I suppose I found a couple of intruders."

The two girls spun around to stare in horror at Goodwin. Only bad things could come from this. Carly prayed that if there was anything good in the entire universe that Jack would make it to their location quickly.

. . .

Jack sighed. He was in the east wing and trying very hard to run quietly in their direction. It was nearly impossible in his mind. Why did he have to be in the east wing of all wings? Why did Yusei have to be in the west wing? He sighed.

After a few minutes, though, he found where he wanted to be.

Or, at least he found the west wing.

Once he reached the west wing, it had three branches expanding in completely different directions. And as well as that, he noticed that at the end of each hall there was a turn and an elevator. This was going to be a long hour.

Sighing, he stepped forward to begin his search.

FudoTwin17: Well, that was short. But somehow, I like it. Anyway, I really hope you'll review, because this is going to get REALLY crazy.

Cat: Review.

Dog # 1: Yes, she'll like that.

FudoTwin17: And leave requests! I barely know what happens next, so I'm all game for what you guys want.

Cat: So, yeah. Bye.
