Chapter 19: Mistaken

Tala felt sick. He didn't know how long he had been there, or how long it was since he had met up with Wolfram. All he knew was that he was tired and hungry. He didn't dare to sleep, because he feared what his captors might do, and he didn't have anything to eat. The car had stopped at some point and he had been carried somewhere before dumped on a hard concrete floor. The bag they had pulled over his head smelled like damp soil. He really wanted to sleep, but for the last hour or so he had heard worrying sounds. Something was going on and he had a bad feeling that he would somehow get dragged into it very soon.

Kai couldn't sit still. He paced back and forth in the cafeteria. He hadn't eaten anything since yesterday. Garland and the others watched him.

"Kai you need to eat."

Hiro stood behind Brooklyn and watched the blue haired male as he wore a hole in the floor.

"I'm not hungry." was the only reply he got. The substitute teacher was beginning to feel uneasy. If Kai's worries were true and Tala was missing, they had a problem.

"Em, excuse me." A younger boy with dark hair and eyes walked up to them.

"You're Yurri right? Wolfram's roommate?" Garland asked as he examined the boy. He nodded.

"I was wondering if you know where Wolfram is? He didn't come back yesterday and last I saw him he seemed nervous about something. Wasn't he supposed to be meeting up with one of you?"

Kai froze in place. The others became quiet as well.

"Wolfram is missing too?" The blue haired male turned to Yurri.

"Two missing? Hiro?" Brooklyn looked up at his lover. He had a serious look on his face.

"I'll go tell the other teachers and we'll search the grounds. If we can't find anything we'll contact the police."

The red head could hear crying, a small quiet whimpering voice. He listened for a while before he dared to speak.

"Who's there?" he asked carefully. He couldn't see anything with the bag over his head.

"Tala?" the voice asked, surprised.

"Wolfram?" the red head was surprised to hear the younger male's voice, yet he wasn't shocked to find out that he too was captured.

"What happened?" the younger male was still sobbing slightly when he replied.

"I was on my way to my room when they caught me. They forced me to write you that note before they knocked me out. I woke up here," his voice was trembling all the time and Tala didn't doubt that he was scared.

"It's alright Wolfram, we'll get out of this. I don't know what they want with us, but it'll be all right." The red head tried his best to keep his voice steady as he spoke, calming down his friend.

"Where are you?" he asked and tried to locate the younger male.

"I'm right here." Wolfram bumped against his feet.

"I'm tied up so I can't move much," he said.

"So am I, and blindfolded by this bag." It was quiet for a moment. They sat close to each other, just feeling the presence of the other.

"Tala..."

"Yes."

"I'm scared." The red head didn't know what to reply to that. So he settled for a cliché.

"Don't be. I'm here."

Kai was fuming. The teachers hadn't taken much time to in their search for Tala, and they still didn't seem convinced that he and Wolfram were missing.

"What do you mean 'he's probably just taking a walk'? He's been missing for almost two days!" His face was red with anger as he screamed at the teachers not caring if they put him in detention. Hiro was the only teacher who believed him, but the older members of staff didn't support his view. Garland put his hands on Kai's shoulders to stop him from moving towards the teachers.

"Come on Kai. Let's get some fresh air," he suggested and pulled him outside with Bryan, Brooklyn and Yurri following close behind. Hiro stayed behind to try convince the other teachers they were telling the truth. Kai twisted free of Garlands grip as soon as they were outside and stormed off in the direction where he last knew Tala had been.

"This is where they were supposed to meet right?" Bryan asked. The blue haired male didn't reply. They all started looking for clues.

"I found a note," Brooklyn said triumphantly, after a while as he searched through one of the bushes. The others hurried over.

"Looks like someone stepped on it," Bryan commented.

"So we found the note, but how can we track them from here?" Garland questioned. Everyone went silent, no one knowing the answer.

"Leave him alone!" Tala shouted furiously and helplessly.

"Shut up!" a voice said and a foot slammed into his stomach, winding him. He gasped for air as he heard Wolfram's cries as the men were hitting and kicking the younger male, as he himself was being taken away. He tried to speak but didn't have the breath.

Wolfram I'm so sorry.

They threw him down on a chair of cold, hard metal that slammed against his back, leaving a huge burning mark. He struggled not to scream in pain and rage. They were beating Wolfram for no apparent reason and he wanted to know why, but before he could ask the men talked.

"Here you have him sir."

"Splendid. Now let's make contact with our boss," a new deep, male voice said. It sent shivers down the red head's spine and he moved slightly which resulted in a hard slam against his head.

"Sit still you punk," a voice hissed in his ear as he saw stars.

"Not his head idiot!" The new voice snapped angrily.

"We don't want him to be damaged just yet." Once more the voice sent shivers down Tala's spine, and it didn't help that he couldn't see.

"Connection is up sir."

"Wonderful. Greetings Mr. Voltaire."

"Boris. I should have known it was you. Only a fool would call at this hour," a deep roaring voice filled the red head's ears.

"Well I believe you'll be interested in what I have for you," the man, Boris, said, confident of himself.

"Is that so? Then please enlighten me," Voltaire replied clearly bored and not interested in the slightest.

"Watch your tone or your precious grandson might get seriously injured." As Boris said these words Tala felt a cold metal object against his bare skin of his neck.

"My grandson? What do you think you're doing?" Voltaire's voice became hard and a hint of alarm filled his tone.

"I think I'm doing exactly what I want Mr. Voltaire. Now tell me how much your grandson's head is worth," Boris replied in a pleased tone.

"Don't think you can do whatever you want simply because you claim to have my grandson. Take off the bag on his head so I can see it really is him." Voltaire sounded like a man of reason and business.

"Very well. Do as he says," Bories replied. Tala felt the men struggle with the bag on his head. He got nervous of what would come. What would they do when they found out he was the wrong guy?

The bag was removed and bright light blinded the red head for a moment before his eyes focused and he could see where he was. They were in a white walled room full of computers and other technical equipment. In front of him was a single huge screen with a man looking down at him. He had long grey hair and a suit, he was old yet very much alive. Voltaire. Just a few feet away from Tala stood a tall man with short purple hair and dark cyber glasses. The aura around the man told the red head that this was the Boris he had been listening to. A smug and mocking smile spread across Voltaire's wrinkled face.

"So Boris you believe you have my grandson do you?" he grinned. Boris turned around towards the red head.

"Yes, can't you see he's right..." it was then his eyes fell on Tala.

"What the hell is this? Who is this brat?" He screamed at the men on either side of the red head.

"Kai Hiwatari?" One of them replied hesitating.

"Idiots! This isn't Kai!" Boris was furious. Voltaire laughed.

"Well then Boris I believe we have no further business with each other." Then the big screen went black.

"Morons! Pathetic idiots!" Boris screamed and hit after the men who dogged as fast as they could. In the fury Boris struck Tala. Hitting him so hard he was slammed against the floor along with the chair he was bound to.

"Get rid of this kid! And do your job properly this time!" The purple haired man ordered still in fury.

They beat him up. Blaming him for the rage their boss had released on them. They hit him, kicked him and threw him around. Tala could feel some of his ribs crack, but the men didn't stop. Finally they threw him into a dark room and locked the door. His chest was burning in pain unlike anything he had felt before. He couldn't breathe properly through the furious pain. His saw dark spots in his vision that made it even harder to see in the darkness. Sobbing filled his ears and he could recognize Wolfram's pained cries. His voice broke as the broken ribs pressed against his lungs but he managed to cough out the boy's name.

"W-Wolfram."

"T-Tala? I-is t-that y-you?" the boy started crying more loudly and the red head could hear the desperation in his voice. The older male struggled to crawl, wriggle over to the younger male who immediately buried his face against his body.

"It's all right wolfram" the red head moaned in pain.

"I'm here."

"Kai! Kai!" Hiro and Brooklyn came running towards the blue haired male. He looked up with a sad look on his face. His eyes had dark circles under them and it was obvious that he hadn't slept for the last few days. It had been a week since Tala disappeared and Kai became worse and worse for every day that passed without signs of his boyfriend.

"Someone found them! They're safe!" the pair reached him just as Garland and Bryan turned the corner behind him.

"They found Tala!" Hiro tried his best to tell the younger male what he had just heard. Kai's eyes widened, then looked around searching for the red head.

"He and Wolfram are in the local hospital. I just got a phone call from them. They say that they've got a few injuries, but they're okay, just a bit shaken." the substitute teacher explained.

"T-Tala." Was the only word the blue haired male managed to say before he ran towards the school exit.
