Fourby had left in his truck while I had been on the phone with Rimfire. I had been waiting for him and the others when I had decided to go back to work on the car that had come in.

While I was deep into my work, I didn't hear the person come up behind me and whack the back of my head to the point I passed out. I had been dragged out of the garage and to a waiting vehicle. I was also injected with something to keep me knocked out. I was also bound and gagged.

Rimfire and the others had shown 10 mins. after I was mousenapped. Rimfire looked all over the garage and upstairs and couldn't find me. He went back downstairs and told Marcus and the others.

"No note?"

"Nothing. She wouldn't just leave the garage open like this. Something isn't right. I better call Charley." Then Rimfire went over to the phone and called Charley.

Scottsville, CA. Charley answered the phone in the house.

"Hello? Mike?"

"Sorry Charley. Its Rimfire. Is Throttle around?"

"He's still at the hospital with his son, Tyrone. What's wrong?"

"Michelle was mousenapped."

"By who?"

"I don't know. There doesn't seem to be any sign of a struggle. Nothing is out of place. Nothing is stolen."

"No stinkfish smell there?"

"No. Limburger was taken back to Mars for trial."

"Brie is in Detroit and could have sent his goons to get her."

"I didn't think there were any left on the planet."

"There's quite a few, just no more in Chicago. I'll call Throttle and let him know. I'll tell your uncle, too."

"Ok, thanks Charley."

"No problem, Rimfire." Then she hung up.

"Modo, there's a problem in Chicago. Mike has been mousenapped."

"I'll take Vinnie's bike and head there while you call Throttle and let him know."

"Ok, but please be careful, you big lug."

Modo smiled and gave Charley a kiss on the cheek. "I promise to be careful, my sweet Charlene. I'll call you as soon as I get there."

"You better. I refuse to raise this baby on my own." Then she put her hand on her flat stomach.

"Are you telling me that you're…?"

"Yes. I'm pregnant. You're gonna be a father, Modo."

He hugged Charley. "I will definitely be careful heading to Chicago now. I'm so happy. My mom is going to be ecstatic when I tell her she's going to be a grandma…again."

"I'm gonna call Throttle. You need to get going."

Modo gave Charley one more kiss on the cheek then headed out. Tony stopped him.

"Uncle Modo? Where are you going?"

Modo knelt down to Tony's level. "I have to go to Chicago, Anthony. I have to go help look for your mom. She was mousenapped."

"Bring her home, Uncle Modo." Then he hugged Modo.

Modo returned the hug. "I will, Anthony."

Modo stood back up and headed into the garage and grabbed Vinnie's bike. He put on his helmet and backed out of the garage.

Inside the house. "Do you think Uncle Modo will find my mom, Aunt Charley?"

Charley knelt down to Tony's level and put a hand on his shoulder. "I know he will, Tony. He loves your mom like a sister. He'll do anything for her."

Tony hugged Charley. "I hope he finds my mom. My dad would be heartbroken without her. So would I."

Charley returned the hug. "Be brave for your mom and dad. Speaking of your dad. I need to call him."

"Ask him how my brother is doing, please."

"I will, Tony. Why don't you go sit on the sofa while I call your dad." Then she stood back up and got her cell phone out of pocket.

Fairmont Medical Hospital. Throttle noticed that his phone was ringing by the feel of it vibrating in his pocket.

"Hey Charley-girl."

"How's Tyrone?"

"They're still running tests on him. They also have him hooked up to a ventilator to help him breathe."

"I'm sorry this is happening to you, Throttle. I also hate to drop more bad news on top of what you're going through right now."

"What's going on, Charley? Is Tony alright?"

"Tony is fine. He wanted me to ask you about his brother."

"Is that all you need?"

Charley took a deep breath, held it for a few seconds, then exhaled.

"What's going on, Charley? What aren't you telling me?"

"Give me your word you get upset, Throttle."

"I give you my word, Charley. I won't get upset. What happened?"

"Mike was mousenapped about 45 mins. ago from my repair shop in Chicago."

"By who?"

"Rimfire doesn't know. Him and the others went there to drop the girls off while him and Marcus went after Pit Boss's goons. That's when they found her missing. Modo is on his way there now on Vinnie's bike."

Throttle growled low in his throat.

"You gave me your word you wouldn't get upset. Its not her fault."

"I'm not upset at Michelle. I know its not her fault. I'm pissed cause she's missing and I can't do anything about it. And I can't get there in time to help."

"If you say that you failed her as a husband, I will tie your tail in so many knots, it will take you weeks to get them all out."

"Yikes! I remember you telling Vinnie that once. You basically said it for me, Charley. I do feel like I've failed her."

"Throttle, you're doing what you need to do for your son. His health is more important right now. Rimfire, Marcus and Modo will find her. Like I told Tony, be brave. You know she's a fighter."

"I know she is, but she's also the mother of my boys and the love of my life. I can't lose her, Charley."

"Have faith, Throttle. I'll keep you updated when I know more."

"Ok, Charley. If I need to be there, let me know."

"I will, Throttle. Just take care of your son."

"As long as you take care of my other son while I'm here at the hospital. Tell Tony that I love him and I'll see him as soon as I can."

"I will. Later."

"Later Charley." Then he hung up. He put his phone away and sighed.

Throttle's mom had just gotten back from the cafeteria as he was putting his phone away.

"Everything ok, Throttle?"

"Not really, mom. Michelle was mousenapped earlier. Rimfire, Marcus and Modo, when he gets there, are going to go look for her."

"Your wife is smart and strong. She can take care of herself."

"You sound like Charley. She said around the same thing."

"You should listen to her. If you need to go, I can stay here with Tyrone."

"But I would be leaving you without a vehicle to get him home."

"I can call Charley for a ride. Just leave your cell phone with me and take Michelle's with you instead. Isn't the Lamborghini at the house?"

"Yeah, but I have no idea how to drive it. I've ridden a bike all my life, mom. Not cars."

"Yet, you drove the boys up here."

"I had some practice and a good teacher."

"Charley taught you?"

"Yeah, and Michelle." Then he took his phone out of his pocket and gave it to his mom. Then he gave her a kiss on the cheek. "You're the best, mom. Thanks."

"You're welcome, sweetie. Just be careful."

"I will, mom." Then he left the hospital.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

He arrived at the house, went in and grabbed the keys to the Lambo, then left. He almost forgot to grab Michelle's cell phone. He went back in and asked Charley for it.

"I thought you were staying at the hospital with your mom and Tyrone?"

"My mom told me that I should be out looking for Michelle, so that's what I'm gonna do. I left my phone with my mom. When she calls you, take the SUV. It has the child seat in it."

"What are you taking to get to Chicago?"

"I'm taking the Lambo. I came back in for Michelle's phone."

Charley took Michelle's phone out of her pocket and handed it over to Throttle.

"Be careful, Throttle."

"I will, Charley. Modo text me earlier about the big news you gave him. Congrats."

"Thanks. Now, go head to Chicago and look for your wife."

Throttle nodded and headed back to the garage.
