Gavin came too all groggy and unable to move. His head was muddled and he could barely think straight. Where am I? Gavin tried to open his eyes but even that took a lot of effort. It was like as if all his strength had been sapped out of him. He also could barely feel his body. I could be strapped to something and I wouldn't know. He grimly thought as he tried to move his hand but only succeeded in wiggling the tips of his fingers. And what was worse his eyes were messed up too. There was a bright light above him so anything around him appeared to be darkness. But that wouldn't have mattered anyway because his vision was both fuzzy and blurry. It was like as if he was a person who needed glasses but didn't have any on and he was looking through water. How did I get here? And where is here? He knew that he should know how he ended up in this position but he was having too much trouble trying to remember. Thinking was just too much work for his mind right now. Gavin would have called out asking if there was anyone there but he didn't have the strength to even whisper. Then his eyelids, which had taken so much of his energy to open, closed as sleep over took him.
While Gavin lay captive in an unknown place Lina, Leviathan and everyone else were still training without knowledge that anything was wrong.
"Come on you two get up." Leviathan impatiently pleaded to Lina and Zelgadis whom were both sprawled out on the floor too tired to want to get up.
"Why?" Lina mock-whined with a laugh. "It's so much nicer here on the cold hard floor."
Leviathan just rolled his eyes at his sister. He looked over to Zelgadis hoping would be more reasonable only he was smiling on the verge of giggling.
"That's it I give up." Leviathan waved his hands up in the air.
Amelia rushed as fast as she could go on her jet bike to get back to STF headquarters. This was one of the times that she wished STF wasn't so strict about their communication regulations. She was so worried and trying so hard to get back to headquarters that she was being a very dangerous person to be near on the road. The problem with Amelia is that she still had quite a few things that she needed to learn quite a few things. One of them being how to drive better at high speeds. She was very close to causing quite a few accidents.
"Ahhh!" Amelia screeched as she almost got hit by another car. "Maybe I'd better slow down... no I can't! I have to get back to STF headquarters as soon as possible!" Amelia said to herself with determination just as she lost control of her bike and swerved and she couldn't control her bike and it crashed into a car.
After much complaining and nagging from Leviathan, Lina and Zelgadis finally got up. They figured that they had done enough training for now and they were going to take a break before they headed over to a restaurant for lunch.
"So what are we going to eat today? Because after those two matches I'm really hungry!"
"Lina when are ever not hungry? But I don't care either way. I just want some food." Leviathan said with a stretch. "How about we head out now and decide where to go once we are outside?"
They were going to say something in agreement only one of the orange STF agents came running in.
"Miss Lina! Miss Lina! You must come it's horrible!" The orange agent said in a short breath gasping for air. You could tell that he had been running over to the room.
"What, what's wrong?"
"It's Amelia! Please you've gotta go over to the emergency medical room!"
Lina exchanged worried looks with Leviathan. It was obvious that lunch was going to be put on hold for a little while.
"Come on let's go see what's wrong."
Lina and company rushed over to the room to find Filia, Rezo and Xellos tending over a battered up body which much to their horror was Amelia!
"What the hell happened?! Is Amelia going to be okay?!" Lina yelled once she noticed Amelia.
"Oh Lina you're here finally. We're not sure. To what we've been told was that Amelia was driving at an extremely fast and dangerous speed and she lost control of her jet bike. She ended up hitting a car. Luckily for her the car was heading in the same direction as her and she hit it on it's side. Amelia was thrown of her bike quite some distance and she landed in bush. She hit her head pretty badly and broke a few bones too but I think she'll be alright." Rezo said looking over Amelia's health charts.
"You think?!"
"Well like I said she hit her head pretty hard. She might be fine or out for quite some time, but I'm just curious on why she was driving so fast in the first place. But wasn't Amelia assigned to work with you Lina?"
"She was until the whole Vernas case."
"Was she was assigned to work with someone else?"
"Yeah she was assigned to work with my little brother Gavin... where the hell is Gavin?!" Suddenly Lina wasn't sure if she should be angry or worried.
"I haven't seen him around. And he apparently wasn't with Amelia when she had her accident..."
"Okay well thank you Rezo. Can you please message me when Amelia is awake and able to see visitors?"
"Yes sure Lina."
Lina and company left the room and went off to a place where they could talk.
"Lina you don't that Gavin would just leave her do you?" Leviathan asked.
"Come on Lev this is Gavin we're talking about here. He'd never leave her unless he had a good reason. And why was Amelia in such a hurry to get back here? She hates driving as fast as I do normally so why the hell would she drive fast enough to get her in an accident? No there's something wrong here. I'm going to try to call Gavin on my communicator." Lina said while activating it and tried to contact Gavin. Only for some weird reason the connection wasn't working. "What they hell is going on here?!"
"Lina I think you are right, there must be something wrong, and it doesn't look like we are going to find out anything until Amelia wakes up. But I don't think we should go outside of STF for lunch."
"Yeah good point Zel, Amelia could wake up at any moment. Let's just head over to the cafeteria and eat until we hear something. The people at the cafeteria aren't going to like it but I don't really care." Everyone nodded in agreement and they headed over to the cafeteria.
The black suited people stood over Gavin once again. They had been monitoring him since they finished their 'experiment' on him. The only reason they went back in the room was because Gavin had managed to come too.
"So how is it that he managed to wake up? You said that would be impossible." The leader said to the head scientist.
"It should have been. But somehow due to some factors that we didn't expect he managed to wake up. Though it's nothing to worry about. He wasn't able to move so he didn't see much." The scientist stated fiddling with his glasses.
"Oh yes it does matter. We didn't want him to remember anything of being here and now he'll have some memories of being here. Maybe they wont be clear memories but he'll still have them. So now we're going to have to waste more time to correct this problem. See to having his memory fixed."
"But sir I don't think it's necessary to-" The scientist started to saying in a small voice.
"Are you questioning my orders?!"
"No sir!" He stammered out.
"Good. I will not have any problems." The leader said with a malevolence grin as he left the scientist to their work.
"Sir what about the girl? Should we send someone to deal with her?" One of the leaders subordinates asked once they were in the hall.
"No we won't need to bother with that. Since Ozer's daring yet stupid venture into STF headquarters their security has been upped a bit. We wouldn't want to risk getting caught now would we? Even if the girl wakes up and tells them she won't have much more to say then some guys dressed in black suits kidnapped him. That could be anybody."
If Phil had been reachable he would have been told about his daughter's accident, but since he wasn't available Amelia was worked on Rezo, Filia and Xellos without him knowing.
Something was bothering Rezo about Amelia's condition. There wasn't something right and he couldn't tell what it was.
"Mister Rezo is there something wrong?" Filia looked over at the head yellow agent.
"I'm not sure..."
"Could this be the reason?" Xellos asked pointing out to a readout on Amelia's blood. According to the readout there was a foreign chemical in her blood.
"According to this Amelia's been injected with a chemical that knocks a person unconscious if I'm not mistaken. This explains why there's something wrong with her eyes. But why in the devil would she have had that injected into her? And why would someone have done it?"
Neither Filia nor Xellos could answer that question.
"Still as confusing as this is the most demanding stuff as been dealt with. So I think it's time that I went back to see about Luna and the DNA analyzing. Would the two of you mind staying here and waiting till Amelia wakes up?" Rezo asked the monster and the golden dragon.
"No I don't mind staying at all Mister Rezo. But could you please take Xellos with you? I don't need him here just to watch over Amelia and plus he's so damned annoying!" Filia said.
"Aw you mean to say Filia-dear that you don't enjoy my company? But I enjoy yours..." Xellos gushed out batting adoring eyes. Filia just whapped him in the face.
Rezo on the other hand just sweatdropped. "Um no Filia I think Xellos needs to stay. We don't know if that chemical could have side effects."
Filia dropped her head in disappointment. While Xellos just went and gave her a big hug and well she screamed. But that didn't wake Amelia up though.
At the cafeteria Lina, Zelgadis, Zangulus, Martina, Leviathan and Gourry had just finished their lunch (with the cafeteria people glaring daggers at them) and still they heard no word from Rezo or anyone about Amelia.
"I'm surprised that we haven't heard anything yet. So what are we going to do now? We don't have anything lined up today and we can't leave till we hear something about Amelia." Zangulus asked while they walked out of the cafeteria.
"Hey Lev do you know where Dad is? Maybe we should let him know what's going on."
"Might not be a bad idea Lina. To what he told me was that he'd be in his office all day doing work. So how about we head over to his office?" They nodded in agreement.
Blitz indeed was doing paperwork when Lina, Lev, Zel, Gourry, Martina and Zangulus came in.
"Oh hello everyone. Is there something wrong?"
"Hey Dad did you know that Amelia got into a car crash and we have no idea where Gavin is?"
"What? An accident? And Gavin's missing? And how did all this happen?"
"Well apparently Amelia was driving at a dangerous speed probably trying to get back here only she lost control of her jet bike and crashed. Rezo thinks that she's going to be alright."
"But what about Gavin?"
Leviathan rather then Lina answered this one. "We don't have a clue about that. Gavin wasn't there at the accident nor has anyone seen him. I don't think that Gavin would just leave Amelia to fend for herself like that. So something must be up."
"Have any of you tried to contact Gavin?"
"I did only I couldn't get through. There was something blocking the connection. I don't have a clue what it could have been. Dad you don't think that something might have happened to Gavin do you?" Lina looked to her father conveying her worry. That was the thing about Gavin, since he was the baby of the family everyone always worries about him the most.
"Something might have. But the only one who might even have a clue is Amelia. Have they contacted you back yet?"
"Nope. We're still waiting. But have you heard anything new on the Vernas case?"
"Just that the other red agents haven't had any luck. I begging to wonder if we'll ever get anywhere with this case."
"Oh well Dad I guess we'll see you around."
"Okay but tell me when you hear from Amelia alright?"
"Alright, bye."
"Bye."
They walked out of Blitz's office and they were just about to decided on what to do next except they were being paged to come to the emergency medical room right away.
Inside the room they found a frantic Amelia.
"Oh Miss Lina, Miss Lina it's just terrible!" Amelia sobbed grabbing onto Lina once she had come into the room.
"Hey Amelia calm down you're still injured. Now tell me what's wrong?"
"Gavin! He's been kidnapped!"
