When they got to the apartment

        Liam opened the door with his spare keys and everyone gasped:

        The living room was a mess, the furniture was upturned, scratches on the floor, the tv was broken, glass was everywhere.

        Liam felt like he couldn't breathe,

        "ESTER!"

        He ran into each of their rooms and found them completely spotless, the kitchen too. Peter pulled him into a tight hug as Liam hyperventilated,

        "They...they aren't here,"

        Jax punched the wall and Troy grabbed him as he had a mini-meltdown. Nico just stared at the broken tv. Xavier took a deep breath and let it out,

        "Okay. Guys. This is serious now,"

        They all looked at him. Liam nodded and took a deep breath in and out,

        "Yeah, okay. Troy, call Shadis. Nico, look around for any clues. Peter, try finding some kind of hint that tells us when this all went down. Xavier, you and I are gonna try finding the entryway of the attacker,"

        They all nodded and Troy got his phone out and dialed shadis. Shadis picked up,

"Cadet Liason, what you got for me?"

"Sir, the dragon squad seems to have been taken out, the whole living room is a mess,"

"Okay, look for clues, I am leaving this up to you, I know they would want you guys to solve it,"

"Sir?"

"You heard me, now find that team and bring them home,"

"Yes sir,"

        They all gathered again. Nico held up a broken beer bottle,

        "They were relaxing when they were attacked, they were probably drunk. This means the attacker must have known that they were celebrating or calm,"

        Peter sighed,

        "They would never drink in the morning, this happened at night,"

        Xavier nodded,

        "They opened the door for this attacker, maybe it was someone they knew,"

        They all frowned at that. Troy sighed,

        "Well, Shadis said that this case is ours. This person could be one of us,"

        They all shared an uneasy look. Liam ran a hand through his hair,

        "We need to talk to Massimo,"

        Xavier nodded,

        "Where is he?"

        Liam checked the time and sighed,

        "Finishing work, let's get moving,"

        They nodded. They all patted Liam's shoulder as a sign of brotherhood, they all are in pain about what happened in this apartment, this attack hit them all hard. Liam sighed and led them to the tennis club. He walked in and led them all to the rose garden. Massimo looked up along with the other counselors in confusion. They recognized Liam but did not recognize anyone else. Lee looked at Liam,

        "Liam, back already?"

        Liam smiled a small smile and nodded,

        "Y-Yeah,"

        Peter put a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it gently. Massimo looked over at each of them: Xavier is lean and muscular with dark black hair and black eyes, Nico had medium length black hair and dark blue eyes, Peter had military cut red hair and light blue eyes, Jax was bulky and had brown hair and hazel eyes, Troy was muscular with blonde hair and brown eyes. Xavier stepped forward,

        "My name is Xavier McCoy, pistol specialist of the New Zion team,"

        Troy stepped forward next,

        "Troy Liason, canon specialist of the New Zion team,"

        Jax stepped up next,

        "Names Jax Dickson, I specialize in the big guns, part of the New Zion Team,"

        Peter stepped up next,

        "Peter Quill, throwing star and bomb specialist of the New Zion Team,"

        Nico was last to step up,

        "Nico Di'Angelo, Throwing knives and poison specialist of the New Zion Team,"

        Now, everyone was even more confused. Massimo nodded,

        "Alright, nice to know you got your squad, Liam, so what's up? Where is my twin?"

        The five boys looked at each other and Xavier nodded at Liam. Liam nodded back and looked at Massimo,

        "When is the last time you spoke to her?"

        Massimo frowned,

        "The day you left,"

        Liam felt sick to his stomach, that was four days ago. Xavier immediately put his arm around Liam to make sure he wouldn't fall. Nico ran his hand through his hair,

        "That...that was days ago...Liam-"

        Liam shook his head,

        "Don't finish that sentence Nico,"

        Xavier sighed and nodded,

        "Keep an open mind,"

        Justin stepped up right in front of Liam,

        "Kid, what's going on?"

        Liam looked away from him and Jax stepped in front of Liam,        

        "Back off big man. We gotta figure it out ourselves,"

        Justin so wanted to say something but felt Lee pull him back a little bit. Troy looked at Massimo,

        "What time was the last time you got a response from her?"

        Massimo looked at his phone,

        "Uh, around 1 when I texted her goodnight, she responded,"

        Nico looked at Liam,

        "Okay, Etk is between 1-4,"

        Peter sighed,

        "But that doesn't make any sense,"

        Massimo stepped up,

        "Okay, look. Can someone just tell me what happened? I'm sick of people bullshitting me,"

        Jax sighed,

        "Fine. Want the truth? Here it is. Commander Ester 'Spitfire' Randor is missing along with Nikki 'Ace' Jackson, Javier 'Slingshot' Nickson, Damion 'Snipes' Sanchez, Billy 'Climber' Wilson, and Quin 'Canon' Rodriguez. That what you wanna hear? We flew out over here cuz we all got a shitty feeling that something bad happened. Then we went to their apartment and found their living room torn apart from a probable fight. Then we came here and just found out that this happened fucking four days ago."

        Troy slapped the back of his head while everyone stared at them in pure shock. Massimo looked at Liam for a confirmation. Liam sighed and nodded,

        "Mass, we are doing everything we can to find them. But ya gotta help us...did she say anything in the texts?"

        Massimo shook his head,

        "You can read them if you want."

        He was petrified for his twin. Liam took his phone and opened the texts from Ester. Liam nodded and looked at Xavier,

        "The kidnapper has their burner phones, that's why we didn't find them."

        Their eyes widened. Massimo looked at Liam in shock,

        "How can you tell,"

        Liam looked at the text,

        "She was drunk when she was texting the first ten times. Then she sounded completely sober on the goodnight and the text before. Commander Spitfire may have an insane tolerance from what I've been told...but she could not sober up from that within twenty minutes,"

        Nico nodded,

        "Yeah, she takes like a bit less than an hour to sober up from something like that,"

        Jax made a fist,        

        "And we can't fucken trace burner phones,"

        Justin looked at them,

        "How can we help?"

        Liam felt guilt wash through him. Xavier sighed,

        "Did she text anyone else? Or did any of them text you guys?"

        Lee pulled out her phone,

        "Quin texted me that night,"

        Everyone looked at her in mild surprise. Lee shrugged,

        "What? He's funny,"

        Liam grabbed her phone and looked through the texts and felt a bad feeling in his chest,

        "Guys,"

        They all looked at the kid. Xavier looked over his shoulder and his eyes widened,

        "He...he kept texting Lee,"

Lee furrowed her eyebrows,

        "What?"

        Nico grabbed Massimo and Lee's phone and gasped in shock,

        "You are right. the kidnapper took them around 12:35 or something. the time he started texting Massimo as Ester was around 1. Quin was texting Lee until 2."

          Lee put a hand to her mouth. Liam looked at her and then back to the phone,

        "There has to be some clue,"

        Nico handed it to peter and Peter read through the texts,

        "Quin is a huge flirt sometimes...but this? With Lee too since you said you two are friends, right?"

        Lee nodded,

        "Yeah, we joke around about a ship we have all the time,"

        Troy took the phone next and read some of the texts,

        "Yeah, this is not Quin at all. He is playful sometimes, but never like this,"

        Jax sighed,

        "Okay, so we found out this dude possibly likes Lee...anyone else get a text?"

        Justin sighed and brought out his phone,

        "I got a random number that texted me,"        

        Liam immediately grabbed the phone and his eyes widened,

        "W-Why haven't you taken this to someone?"

        Justin winced,

        "I thought it was some sort of prank. They never gave me a name or anything,"

        Liam shook his head,

        "But still,"

You will never have her, she is mine, all mine. You will never see her ever again. She loves me, not you. You are not good enough for her and never will be

        Troy took the phone and gasped at the text too, the team huddled around the phone. Liam shook his head,        

        "Justin...this is bad,"

        Justin looked at him and felt something bad in his gut,

        "How bad?"

        Xavier pointed at the phone,

        "That number is Javier's number,"

        Everyone looked at the team in pure shock. Justin felt an arm wrap around his shoulder,

        "Wh-What?"

        Jax squeezed his hand into a tight fist,

        "Yeah! That's Javier's number! This fucking kidnapper texted you a fucking threat and you did not decide to tell ANYONE!"

        Troy immediately grabbed Jax and he thrashed around against the hold,

        "You fucking idiot!"

        Liam glared at Jax,

        "Jax, that's enough, calm down,"

        Jax huffed and glared right back at Liam,

        "We could have found out that they were kidnapped earlier if they just made a few calls to the fucking police, Liam. You and I both know how likely it is that something shitty happened to them. Javier is still on crutches for Christs' sake! Ester is still healing from her bullet wound, Quin still has a sprained ankle, Nikki has a fucking broken arm, Billy and Damion have cuts and stitches. They should have never come here. They should have stayed in camp,"

        Liam stepped right in front of Jax,

        "You and I both know that they wanted to be away from it all. They aren't supposed to be in battles right now. They are on leave Jax. They have more experience than all of us combined. if anyone can survive this shit, it's them,"

        Xavier put a hand on each of their shoulders,

        "Enough. We have a team to find,"

        Jax shrugged it off and sighed,

        "Fine."

        Liam nodded,

        "Good."

        Nico looked at Lee,

        "Do you know anyone who gives you a weird vibe when they are around you, or anyone who has taken a very huge interest in Ester?"

        Lee sighed and ran a hand through her hair in stress,

        "Uh, I don't know,"

        Peter stepped up next to Nico,

        "Think. It can be a friend, a coworker, anyone,"

        Nick looked around. Then he thought of someone: Derek. Nick facepalmed,

        "That fucking bitch,"

        They all turned to Nick. Liam stepped up to him,

        "What?"

        Nick looked at them,

        "Derek,"

        Lee gasped and nodded her head,

        "Oh shit. You are right!"

        Liam glared at the ground,

        "I should have known,"        

        Xavier looked at them in confusion,        

        "Who?"

        Justin glared at the ground too,

        "Derek. He's a new worker here, started this summer. He has a day off today. He flirted with Lee a lot when he started here,"

        Liam frowned,

        "Yeah, and I got a bad feeling about him when I met him. He's the one that disrespected Shadis, Nikki, and Michela,"

        Jax glared,

        "Oh, that fucking asshole,"
