Kailey opened her eyes slowly in the darkness. She moaned gently as she sat up. Where was she? She stared off into the blackened abyss. Darkness... She felt her heart skip a beat.

"Mommy?" She shouted into the darkness, "Daddy? Are you there?" She shut her eyes and hugged her knees. Now she was alone in here. What had happened?

"[i]Okay[i/]" She thought, "[i]I woke up this morning, had lucky charms and sat and talked with mommy, then I went to school... Nothing happened at school... then I went home... what happened when I went home? I said hi to mommy... then I went upstairs to play with my dolls....[i]" She squinted her eyes trying to remember. What happened after that?

Knight stepped out of the shadows next to the little girl "Are you alright...?" he asked softly kneeling beside her "I'm sorry for what has transpired so far..." he said as he walked towards a fall flipping on a light to reveal a small room undecorated and little musty but still had the comforts of a room that someone slept in "I'm sorry that I must keep you here...The leader just before i took the place said we needed your fathers help once more.." he said with a shake of his head "Though I didn't intend on doing this..." he said and looked to the girl "Please feel at home and do try not to wander alot of my men...aren't to thrilled we've a guest here..." Knight was a gentle soul but somehow he had been caught up into this all just because he was a well trainned fighter when he was younger and then a top assassin. He kept his morales though and never hurt the innocent. The men he had sent to the former leader's house weren't so honor-bound and Knight didn't like that at all. He sighed and shook away the dreadful feeling. "Please If you need something do let me know....My office is the room just down the hall turn left when you leave this room and it's the last one of the hall.." he said kindly and stood up heading towards the door. He didn't know what else to say let alone tell a young child of what had happened.

Grunting Jericho walked down the halls, each wall was torn or had holes in it. The whole idea of having a hostage was a risky idea. Damn society and their Hollywood bullshit. Who did kidnappings still, that was so the eighties. His foot steps could be heard as he walked, a dull thud echoed down the halls. Jericho would end up cracking his fingers as he followed the endless halls to his destination. Each finger made a sicking cracking sound that most people hated. He was ok with it, he did alot of punching so it helped him relax a little bit. Finally he would come to his destination, he was to be posted at the door to guard the little girl.

The leader of his gang was inside talking with the girl they had taken hostage. What a load of bullshit, Jericho was not going to let some kid walk around freely. That was just a crack head scheme of doing a bad job.

Julia had followed her hunch. When Cosmin left the station after telling them everything he knew, she had a feeling that that wouldnt be the end of it, so doing what came first in her mind, she followed him, tailed him. then let him walk inside. She was waiting outside his home until she heard him scream. Running inside she had her gun drawn but pointed down, She checked the house until she reached the grieving man. She had seen his wife and let the image wash over her, then went on. She put her gun away and walked over to him, "Cosmin..." she said softly. "I'm sorry for your loss." she said and waited. She knew better than to touch a greiving man. "Would you like to file an offical report? I can get a team over here ASAP to start the processing...Though i'm pretty sure you know who did it..." she bit her lip and waited for him to respond, Before she hushed completely she said one more thing. "I'm here for you."

Cosmin heard the woman and looked up with red eyes and tear stained face. He wasn't one to cry, but this was just too much to swallow for him. He had lost them both! And he knew who did it. "N-no," he said, his voice slightly cracked. "I can't file anything. They will know. By god they will know. I don't want any harm to come to Kailey. They did this because I went to you and talked. I should have known better!" New rage washed over him he punched the wall. He caused her death... Kailey's kidnapping. All of it. He had been in the gang! He should have known they would do this. He would stop them.

He would make them regret messing with him. Fist, he needed to get his daughter back. He stood up and looked at Julia. "Give me permission to use a weapon. Give me that and I will bring them to you dead." He hissed in rage. He wouldn't let his go by. They had destroyed everything he had worked for. His rage fueled his body and sent tremors down each nerve, making him shake. Oh they will regret it dearly. "I won't be able to communicate with you openly. They will do something. I am sure of it. Now do I have a weapon or don't I?" He asked, his voice cold as his eyes.

She stared into his eyes and saw his rage, and knew, just knew that giving him a weapon would be a bad idea, atleast while he was in this condition. "Yes. But not right now. Give yourself a bit of time to cool, Come with me. Not as a cop but as a friend, when you've calmed, i'll give you permission." she was in street clothes, but it was hard to shake the look and feel of a cop. She smiled softly at him. "Its ok. You'll get them...and if you cant contact me openly, atleast do it...undercover. I would be betraying my oath if i let you out there on the world with a gun and didnt keep tabs on you. I want updates." she smiled and nodded, "Lets go. You'll calm quicker if your not here." She started to go, looking back at him, making sure he was coming.

Cosmin glared at her before giving in. He knew she was right. Taking the gun now would just resolt in more death. He had never killed anyone on purpose and he didn't rally want to start. He just wanted to make sure little Kailey was save... his little girl. He followed Julia out of the house and wiped at his eyes which now burned from the tears. "Where are you taking me?" He asked defeated. The world had turned grey to him. The sun and everyone walking down the street laughing all mocked him. He didn't want to be out here. He just wanted to get His baby back. He knew he needed to confront Knightmare. Confront him and do as he asked for a time befor he could get Kailey. He couldn't tell Julia that he was going to comply to their demands. That would send him to jail again for sure, but it was one way to get closer to Knightmare again.

"A little coffee shop up the road." she said smiling at him and taking him to a tiny coffee shop, more like a hole in the wall than an actual resturant, there were only three other patrons. She sat him down at a table and ordered them some coffee. She sighed softly and took out a small pad of paper. "You never know when this thing comes in handy..." she chuckled and wrote the permission down and held it out to him. "I'm not going to give you my gun obviosly. but, you have permission to get one....After our coffee." she added the last part and sipped hers when it came. "What is your plan?"

(plot twist got the ok from our GM X3)

Knightmare had left the room noticing the guard he nodded "She has full access to this hall I don't want you being rude...our leader has been locked up but i was given command..." he said softly as he walked towards the office of the former Nightmare and sat down looking through the things.





Oh being locked up for trying to steal from a bank how drool he thought He sighed heavily and just began to pace his small room he was a stout man standing in at 6'0 and built like a solid wall, He had served under Cosmin and once he left he took his place. Oh he loved being in charge, being able to do what ever he wanted when he wanted not having to worry about who he hurt or anything of the sort. It was a wonderful feeling. He didn't feel guilty at all for what he had done or what he had ordered that little Assassin to do while he was locked up. He knew the more sadistic of the gang would go for it and do what he wanted them too. He was happy and gleeful with just this thought as he knew they were probably planing his prison break right under the petty Assassin's nose.

Evelyn sighed as she finished typing something up on the computer. She could hear them talking about the little girl that they had taken. She was surprised that something like this had happened. She never thought that they would end up kidnapping. It was pretty stupid if you asked her but she didn't say anything against it. She leaned back in her chair, rubbing her eyes. She was tired but she decided to check to make sure someone was guarding the room the little girl was in. She climbed out of her chair and took off her glasses. She set them down as she walked out of the room.

She walked through the halls, sliding her hands into her pockets. She looked around and noticed Jericho was the one guarding the room the girl was in. She sighed, knowing he probably wasn't pleased with that fact. She walked towards him," Everything okay for now?" She brushed her hair away from her eyes, which were the color green today. She looked towards the room and saw their new leader was talking to her. She looked over at Jericho again," Try not to lose your temper."

He nodded to what knightmare and looked at the wall ahead of him. Crossing his arms he would grunt lightly as he grew slightly bored with the fact guarding a little child was nothing more then babysitting. Then Evelyn came bounding up to him and started up a conversation with him. Most of the gang usually stayed away from him but Evelyn was not most of the gang. She was a women with a weird personality." Yea the kid is quite for now." Watching her brush her hair back made a shiver go down his spine. Evelyn was a good looking girl, for some weird reason he was attracted to her." Nah, she is not old enough to make me actually mad."

"That's good because I don't think anyone would be too happy if she got hurt," said Evelyn, shrugging. She looked around then back at him," Do you want anything?" She figured that she would be nice to him. Since he was stuck guarding a little girl and she doubted he wanted to do that. She doubted that anyone in the gang would want to do that. But someone had to do it and somehow he was landed with it. She reached into her back pocket, pulling out a red piece of fabric to tie her hair away from her face. She looked around, thinking about how pissed Cosmin was going to be. She knew how much his family meant to him.

Knightmare walked out of the boss' room as he sighed he had read up on the file and everything the ideas and the big plot that the original Nightmare needed Cosmin for. Knightmare didn't like that as he noticed two of the gang chatting in front of the door he looked to Jericho. He knew what it was like doing something you didn't really want to, in fact he was doing it right now and he hated it. "Hey...Jericho...Why don't you go out and enjoy one last night of Freedom i can watch the door for the night..." he said softly as he gave a kind smile, something you didn't see to often in these hallways anymore, but that was just how Knightmare was even though his past was all about death he still tried to be a good person no matter the cost.

Smiling he listened to what Evelyn said and nodded."sure I wanted a to get some thing to eat. As soon as he stated that he heard Knightmare tell him he could leave for awhile. Grunting he looked over to him and spoke,"well, don't let her out of your sights. I'll be back in a few hours tops." Looking at Evelyn he would smile and say"care to join me then?" Jericho was not going to leave the the hie out with out at least some one he liked.

-oops XD. I was reading and seemed to have skipped Serinaty's.-

Cosmin sat down and was quite for a while. Then he heard her give him permission. He looked up at her with tortured eyes. "I don't know exactly what I am going to do. They are probably at their hideout. Thanks for the help. Don't worry, I am not going to storm in. Trust me. I'll tell you my plan after I get there," he chuckled. He haad a plan in mind but he wasn't going to share. He needed to do this alone. He would contact her later. He drank his cofee and stood up. "I am going now. I will talk to you later. Thanks again." He put down money for his cup before walking out of the store. He walked into the shady back streets of town and went to a familiar shop with a closed sign on. He checked the handle and saw it was locked. He took out a pin and easily fixed his probelm. He waltz in as the bells rang.

"I'm closed! can't ye read?" called a gruff voice.
"Aww, don't be like that. I came all this way to see you old friend." A man in his old age came out of the curtain and squinted at him. "Sly Fox! Didn think you'd be comin round here after you made nice with dem cops," the old man complained and sat down.
"I turned a new leaf. I need a gun," Cosmin continued. The old man smiled and went over to a counter. "Ah. Hope you comin back to this side of things."
"No. You say one word however, you are dead. I saved you from the cops and I don't mind throwing you at them if you say a word about me," Cosmin hissed, his eyes instantly going cold. The man nodded with a shudder and handed him a gun. "Good luck Sly." Cosmin took the gun and paid for it before leaving the store. It was time to hunt. He got into his car and drove to his hold hide away.

He walked in cautious and kept a lazy hand on his gun. It was just like he remembered it. Old, with holes decorating the walls and dust was everywhere. He took a step and the floor board whined under his weight, giving away to his presence to anyone near.

Evelyn was surprised when she heard Knightmare tell him that he could leave. She looked over at Jericho as he said he would be back in a few hours. She figured she would probably just go back to working on the computer. She was surprised when she heard him ask she would like to join him. She shrugged, biting her lip," I guess not." She smiled at him, surprised that he was asking her to go with him. But she figured that it couldn't hurt. She was still surprised since most of the gang members didn't really talk to each other unless forced.

Smiling he walked down the hall way, he was also surprised Evelyn said she would come. He expected her to bail out on him and do some thing on the computer."well where do you want to eat then?" The hall way was still in shreds and it looked as if they had a fire fight in certain parts. He had a 2009 Chevy Malibu sitting outside of the hide out. It was the only thing he actually bought with his own money. The car was parked in front of entrance, it only took them a few minutes to get past the winding halls. The place was some what spooky for even him."so what do you think of the kid being with us"?

Cosmin heard two of the members coming toward the hall. He looked around and saw a door. Hoping no on lay behind it, he ran to it and closed the door. Once they had passed out of the hall, Cosmin stepped out again. He walked slowly up the stairs, careful not to make another sound. Then he came up to another hall where he saw another member sitting in front of a door. He raised his hands for peace. "Hello. I am looking for your leader Knightmare. Where is he?" He asked. His cold blue eyes were trained on the man. This was a new addition to the gang. He had not seen him before unless he had changed his identity?

Knight heard movement and rose to see what it was. As luck would have it, bad luck to be exact it was the man he didn't wanna see. "H-hi...um Cosmin.." he said as he still stood in front of the door trying to keep himself calm. He didn't know what to do or say right now as he swallowed hard "I-i'm Knightmare..." he said quietly hoping the man didn't hear him but he knew he wasn't that lucky. He tried to keep calm knowing that he had left his only weapons in his room. He swallowed hard trying to keep from having a huge panic attack.
