A/N: Okay. First and foremost, this story is COMPLETE. And I cry every time I read it so you will need tissues. Again, this was originally a role play with Zelda so half the credit to her! I hope you enjoy this and try not to cry too hard. I'll post a chapter a day.
Chapter Eleven
Rushing back to meet the others, Ayako yell out of breath, "Someone took her!"
Monk gasped along with John, and Masako looked as if she were about to faint. Then, a phone rang. the phone in Olivia's bag.
Oliver already knew what happened. He had seen it. He made sure to always keep a close eye on his daughter.
Monk looked ashen. "Who…who is going to answer? I bet it's Naru! Ayako…what are we going to do! She is all he has left of Mai…he'll kill us!"
Ayako groaned. "We have no choice. We will help him find her."
So Ayako answered. "H-Hello? Naru? I'm so sorry! I turned away for a moment and she had been right beside me!"
Naru was very quiet for a moment. He was beyond angry. They let his last piece of Mai just vanish. Of course, she was more than a piece of Mai to him. She was his daughter, the most valuable person in his life.
"Start looking for her, now. I am coming to Japan, and so help me, if she's killed, I'll be sure you all meet a fate worse than death."
Ayako paled a bit but understood. Naru was no longer a narcissistic kid who bossed them around. He was a widower who obviously adored his daughter…a daughter who had just been kidnapped under their watch.
Ayako knew if Olivia was hurt in any way…Naru would destroy them.
Oliver, extremely pissed, but also extremely worried, sat on a plane between his brother and Lin. The three of them had left immediately for Japan after learning of Olivia's abduction. Yasuhara would be joining them later. He was hiring a private investigator to help them along. He said that guy, Sebastian, charged heavily, but he would take care of it.
Olivia groaned as she shifted. She opened her eyes and saw she was in a small room. She frowned. She really had bad luck.
Her father must be furious…
The door opened and a young man slipped inside with a bottle of water and a protein bar. He winced at the sight of her.
"Here…have some water…I brought this bar too…to give you strength," he said softly and kindly.
Blinking, somewhat surprised, Olivia pushed herself back. She had to be careful with who she could trust. She had no idea where she was, who took her, and why. For all she knew, that boy, who looked to be her age, could be trying to poison her.
But… he seemed nice. Still, she had to be skeptic if she wanted to survive.
"How can I trust you…?"
He smiled sadly. "You wouldn't know…I wouldn't trust me. But…this bottle hasn't been opened and neither has the protein bar. I-I'm sorry you got taken…I was snatched when I was six. Been their rat ever since."
Rat? As in test rat?
Olivia's eyes widened. She… She felt so terrible for this boy. And he had been there since he was six?
But, she was also afraid. She didn't want anyone to test her abilities as if she were a common lab rat.
Quickly, she composed herself and turned her head away. "I'm sorry…"
He shrugged. "It's okay…so…your dad is Oliver Davis right? I…I used to dream that someone would miss me and ask him to find me. I was from an orphanage and well…no one would miss an orphan. I hope he finds you…I really do."
She felt really terrible… A lot of people asked her father to find other people, but he couldn't always help. He got hundreds of letters a day asking for help…
And then she started to feel guilty. She knew her father would come looking for her. It was guaranteed. But, when he found her, she could help the other people here.
He looked behind him. "I'll try and keep them from testing on you as long as I can…but I can't make that a promise. I'm sorry…but I'll try. Just…hang in th–"
"Hey! What the fuck are you doing in here, rat!?" a man snarled from the doorway.
Sam's eyes widened and he stumbled back away from Olivia, not wanting to put her in harms way if he could help it. The man back handed him hard and roughly grabbed his arm. Sam winced, feeling his shoulder dislocate. Then he looked away as it popped back into place on it's own and the pain receded.
He healed again.
Olivia nearly gasped in horror, be remained quiet. He was a healer… he could heal himself. She could only imagine what kind of tests they put on him.
Sam cast one last look at Olivia before he was bodily removed from the room. He really hoped they wouldn't test her too soon…he wanted her to have a chance to be saved.
He knew a savior wouldn't be coming for him. He accepted that a long time ago and he was okay with that.
When she was alone, Olivia felt tears in her eyes. That poor boy. She would help him. No one deserved whatever hell he'd been put though.
She closed her eyes, and relaxed. Maybe she could get in touch with Gene. Maybe she would get luck and he would be sleeping too.
Gene opened his eyes and felt a sadness in the pit of his stomach…it was amazing that Olivia's astral plane was so much like Mai's. He turned and relaxed when he saw her.
"Livia," he said in relief, "Where are you? Are you hurt?"
The girl swallowed a thick lump in her throat. "I… I don't know where I am, but I'm okay right now. I… the people that took me… they run test psychics… I… There's a boy here, he's a healer and… And they…" She shook her head. "He's my age and he's been here since he was six. I don't even know his name. They just call him rat!"
She clung to her uncle, sobbing.
Gene's eyes turned sad. She was okay but that boy…she obviously felt bad for him. Gene did too.
"Don't worry…we are coming for you and we won't leave him there either," Gene soothes.
She nodded her head before looking up at Gene with watery brown eyes.
"I… please hurry. I… I'm scared. I don't know what they'll do to me, and if something really bad were to happen… Daddy, I don't want him upset."
Gene chuckled despite the situation. "You're so much like your mother…worrying about your dad instead of yourself. Don't worry. We are moving as quick as we can. Your father has a few of your things and I'll keep an eye on you from here."
Wiping her eyes, Olivia nodded. She then took a moment to breath deeply. "Also, tell him not to be mad at Ayako and the others… I didn't even see them until it was too late. It's not their fault."
Gene nodded. "Will do…I'll try to keep your father from breathing fire…we will be there soon. Keep faith and don't give up or give in."
She nodded before hugging Gene one more time. "I… I love you. And, tell daddy I love him too. Be safe, and please make sure daddy keeps a level head."
Gene nodded. "I will…I need to go. Someone is trying to wake me so we must have landed."
He kissed the top of her head and hugged her one last time.
When Gene woke, Oliver stared at him. He knew then. "You saw her. What did she say? Is she alright?"
"She's okay for now…met a boy there and he's a self healer. She said he has been there since he was six. I suggest we save him with her. No one deserves what he may have gone through. She said that they don't even call him by name," Gene explained.
Noll frowned. They were dealing with those kind of people… the ones that liked to experiment on those with special abilities.
"We better start working then. We need to find her quickly, and release the others that have likely suffered horribly as well."
Gene nodded. "I'll try and see if I can learn anything about where she is from Olivia personally…maybe contact some of the others. You can use her things to keep tabs on how she is."
He nodded.
Soon, Oliver was standing in what used to be his office. He honestly never thought he would even be standing it again, nor did he think it would be left untouched.
Mai's desk hadn't change, nor had his own. The book he had even been reading when he left was still on his desk, opened to the page he left off on.
Monk knocked lightly on the door frame. He noticed that Naru had left the door opened. He had been shocked to see the boy again…well…he was a man now. His black hair was sporting a few grey hairs and he had lines on his face. And he looked horrible which Monk knew much be from Olivia's disappearance.
Turning, Noll looked to see the monk who was about ten years his senior. He didn't give away what he was thinking, nor did he let it show how angry he was on his face.
"What is it?" His voice was still as cold and biting as ever.
"Was just checking to see if you needed anything…tea, coffee…while we wait," Monk said softly.
"I don't need anything." He continued to move about his old office, and then search through his daughter's bag which had been left next to his desk. He caught a few flashes of what had happened. She was still alright, thank god.
He didn't know what he would do if he lost her. Mai… she would be so angry with him for letting their only child die. And he wouldn't be able to forgive himself for letting her go to Japan alone. It was would be like the same feeling he had when he thought Gene was dead.
Gene slipped into the office, squeezing Monk's shoulder. He knew they all felt bad and probably blamed themselves. He walked up to his brother.
"She will be fine, Noll. We will find her safe," Gene said softly.
Oliver glanced at his brother before shaking his head. "Has Yasuhara said anything about that private investigator he's hiring?"
Gene nodded. "He's already in Japan and has started his digging. Yasu said that the guy told him he had some ideas of where she could be and who could have her."
Oliver nodded before stopping. "He's already in Japan? How is that possible? We just got here a few hours ago, and Yasuhara was meeting with him before he left."
Gene shrugged. "Couldn't tell you…he works for that Phantomhive corporation. They specialize in cleaning up bad parts of London. I wouldn't ask questions, just accept it."
Noll sighed, but nodded.
Olivia held onto the small ring in her pocket. It was her mother's wedding ring… Her father kept it with him often, but before she came to Japan, she asked him if she could have it, as a good luck charm. Really, she had wanted it to keep an eye on him too.
He was so worried… And she felt so guilty for putting him through so much trouble.
Yasu suddenly burst into the office. "Sebastian called! He has a lead and he thinks some goons from the Association of Psychic Research took her."
Noll stared at Yasu for a moment and quickly moved from the office. "Let's go. We don't have any time to waste."
Yasu looked after his brother in law. "Do you know where they have property or something? He hasn't told me any places yet…"
Gene took his arm gently. "There are a couple here in Japan and they are in Tokyo."
"Lin," Naru called, "We're going. We have a lead."
Lin nodded. "I'm coming…Monk, Ayako. Stay by the phone. If we need any assistance I will call."
They nodded and made themselves comfortable. They watched as Naru, Gene, Yasu, and Lin slipped away.
Olivia stiffened when she heard someone scream. It sounded a lot like that poor boy she had met a little while.
Gene and Yasu worked with Lin and Oliver, trying to find a place where Olivia could be. They knew it had to be out of the way and unnoticeable. It sounds like they had been there for a while.
Finally, they had a break through. It was a warehouse outside the city and Gene felt that this was it. As the wind blew, he smelled cherry blossoms.
"Noll…this is it. I-just trust me," Gene said, feeling Mai's presence.
Looking at his brother, Naru nodded. Gene had that look about him, like he knew something. It was a look Mai gave him often…
"Alright."
He followed after his brother, and into the warehouse.
Olivia sat down in the corner of the room, trying to make herself seem smaller. Maybe they would pass her by for now…wait for her to weaken or something.
Then she smelled cherry blossoms.
Olivia felt tears in her eyes. That was how she always remembered her mother smelling…like cherry blossoms. Then she felt relaxed. and a warm hand caressed her face and Olivia knew then.
Her father was here.
Someone immediately recognized the twins as they stormed through the halls, searching for Olivia. They tried to grab them, tempted to take them down and run tests on them both, but messing with one of the twins while they were together, that was a dear mistake.
