Sam POV

I was walking peacefully through the buildings of San Fransokio. I was on my spring shopping, and also I was buying eggs for easter. I was in my black shorts, cyan blue short sleeve top, long grey jumper, and slippers, with my hair in a bun, and sunglasses on. I walked passed some fancy shops that I have never went to, since I am not rich enough to afford any of this.

When I looked through the glass window of one of the shops, I saw a lot of really fancy suits and dresses, however something got my attention, or more like someone. When I looked closer, I noticed a guy with brunette hair, in a dark blue suit.

He looked really familiar, until he turned around. It was Vicky's brother, I think Jake, or John...no wait Jack. He was rubbing his temples, and as it seemed, he was upset and stressed, because of his eyes being red from, as I asume crying.

I decided to go in and go up to him.

I pushed open the glass doors, and step inside. A sudden smell of expensive perfumes and clothes, hit my nose. Everything was beautiful and fancy, but I didn't care, since probably the price would make me want to die.

I went up to Jack and tapped his shoulder, making him turn towards me.

He rised his eyebrows and I let my hand out for him to shake it.

"I am Sam, one of your sisters friends" I said smiling, and he smiled as he remembered who I was, and he shook my hand.

"Well I'm Jack, and sorry for my confusion, I just don't get to see my sister's friends often, apart from her boyfriend of course" he chuckled and I laughed

"Oh well I came in here, because I have noticed that you were kind of stressed out and upset about something, so I decided to come in and ask what's wrong" I said simply, I am not an awkward person.

"Oh, it's nothing really..its just...well I don't know what to buy for my girlfriend, since it's almost our 4th aniversiry, and I want to buy her something special" he said awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck, while turning scarlet.

I rolled my eyes, laughing a bit, seeing how he didn't quite understand the concept. I placed my hand on his shoulder and smiled at him softly.

"Jack...She doesn't need much, she only needs you and something that you will give her from your heart, showing how much you love her, she doesn't need fancy stuff to be happy" I said and he looked at me, and smiled slightly.

"Yeah....you're right, I'll make her something instead" he said, standing up, and walking towards the door, with some people walking behind him.

Before he left, he turned towards me and smiled.

"Thanks Sam, I own you" he said and waved smiling and left.

I smiled and stood up, not wanting to be in this expensive shop anymore. I quickly took a walk back to my house so that my parents wouldn't be worried.

Thomas POV

I looked around my lab. It became boring, since I don't have anything I can experiment, and I am not sure what to make and test.

I walked around, until I heard the door slid open, and some loud footsteps came my way.

I turned towards the person and I saw a guy coming with a suit in his hands, all dressed up formal.

"Sir, you're dad wants you to wear this" he says, as he hands me the suit. I look at him quite confused, looking for an answer, and he sighs, looking around.

"Your dad is having quests, that's all I can say" he whispered and left. Guests? Since when?

I go to my bedroom  and put on the suit. It looks quite nice on me. The dark blue fabric of my blazer and my pants complimented my cyan tie and my watch quite nicely. Black shoes were a nice touch, and my hair was a mess as always,  but guess what,  I wasn't planning on fixing it.

I went down stairs, to the big living room, and a lot of people were already there. I saw my sister Helen, in a cocktail violet dress, with black heals, her hair in a bun, with some white gloves as well.

I walked up to my dad, taking a glass of wine on my way.

"So father, what is this special occasion?" I asked him and he looked at me with a slight smile.

"I have someone I want you to meet" he trailed off as people came towards us.

Vicky's POV ~Before events in Thomas POV~

I was sitting on my bed, reading a book.

Zack was currently with his father on a business trip to Italy and they won't be back until 2 weeks from now.

I sighed, missing him already. I heard Eliza and Jack from the other room,  Jack must of gived her something really nice and special for her to laugh and cry and yell I love you so much all at the same time.

I heard foot steps, and I could tell it wasn't Jack's nor Eliza's as though they hadn't left the room yet.

My door opened and a maid came in, with a dress in her hands.

"Miss, you're father wants you to wear this because he is planning on taking you somewhere" she said planing, placing the dress on my chair, and walking out.

I look at the dress, and go to my bathroom to put it on. As I did so, I look at myself in the mirror, and it looks actually pretty on me.

It is a white dress with silver belt on it, with a diamond snowflake on the belt. I also wore my silver heals to it, and my chocker I got from Gemini on my birthday, which was white with a silver snowflake hanging from it.

I wore my hair in a french braid, and I was all ready to go.

I went down the stairs to be face to face with my father. The one that practically never shows up in our house because of his business he takes care of.

His company is his life,  and even though he loves us and he would never want to hurt nether me or Jack, he does spend a lot of time in the company itself.

"So where are we going ?" I asked curios and he opened the door for the outside.

"You'll see when we get there" he replied simply and I went out, nodding.

• • • • • • • • • •

We finally arrived at a big house. It was white, and it kind of looked like a smaller version of a mansion, which it probably was.

I stepped out of my dad's car,  and so did he right after me. I walked towards the door, and a guy in a black suit opened the door for me and my dad, and we stepped into a house that was filled with few people but not a wild number of them.

"Manny! You finally came!" A male voice came from behind us, and as we looked at the stare case, we saw a male figure, maybe in his mid 40s, with black and gray hair,  which showed that he wasn't too young, he had a pale skin and hazel eyes.

"Great to see you too John! Oh also I would like you to meet my daughter Victoria" my dad mentioned to me, and that man smiled at me, and I smiled back,  and we shook our hands.

"It's a pleasure to meet you sir" I said politely, as he nodded.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too young lady, I'm sorry but would you mind giving me and your father a second, of course you can go and talk to my son over there" John said politely, pointing at a guy, who's back was turned towards us, in a navy blue tux.

"Sure thing" I said smiling, as I walked away, while I heard some laughs from where I just came from.

As I walked towards the guy, I kept on thinking if he didn't look familiar, but since I couldn't see his face, nothing came to mind.

I tapped his shoulder lightly, and slowely the person turned towards me with a smile, which soon faded into a suprise.

"Hello-- Vicky?" I looked at him in suprise as well, and that's when it hit me who he was.

"Thomas?" I asked in shock, and we looked at each other confused as hell.

"What are you doing here?" Thomas asked.

"Well I came here with my dad, and assuming that John lives here and told me you are his son, I assume I came here because our fathers know each other" I said, analysing the whole situation in seconds.

"That makes sense, but did you know that they want to put together their companies,  that's quite insane" Thomas joked, taking a sip of his drink.

We talked for a while, until John went up on the stairs with a glass of white wine in his hand, a big smile across his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a big announcement for all of you" he said cheerfully and Thomas looked at him like he saw a ghost.

"What's wrong?" I whispered, as John kept telling everyone how he met my father, which ment his suprise would take longer for him to tell.

"My dad wasn't so happy like this in his life" Thomas replied, still looking at his father.

Finally John came to the end, where he would tell us the exiting news.

"So as I said, we wanted to connect our companies, as so we did!" Everyone cheered as he took a deep breath.

"But that's not all, because we couldn't just make it happen, I have another good news for you,  our youngest kids are....going to get married to keep the two companies and families together!" He yelled and everyone cheered.

I felt like the world stopped, and I was slowely sinking into the floor. Tears started going down my cheeks, and I felt like I was going to scream, but instead, my head became heavier, and I lost balance.

The only thing I remember was someone catching me, probably Thomas, and everyone gasping and running towards me, and everything faded to black.

Sam's POV

It has been a week since Vicky ended up in a hospital. Thomas and his father and her father and even her brother were worried about her.

Thomas thought it was the shock of the fact that their fathers decided to suprise them with something she didn't like, which Thomas never mentioned what, but that wouldn't cause such a knock out.

Today I decided to sit with Gemini and Rachel, to think through on what could have happened.

"Girls, I am pretty sure it's the person who kidnapped each one of us and hid us from the other members of the group!" Gemi yelled annoyed that her best friend was in the hospital but also, because she remembered the time when Hiro was kidnapped...

~~Flashback~~

Me, Gemini, Rachel and Alice, we were casually walking in the park, when suddenly when Gemini was munching on a cookie, she got a phone call.

"Hullo?" She asked cheerfully.

She started to listening and her face dropped pretty quickly.

"What do you mean you don't know where he went?!" Gemini yelled and after few minutes she hanged up and looked at us with rage and worry in her brown orbs.

"What's wrong Gemi?" Rachel asked quite worried, which made me quite suprised that she actually was nice and asked if everything was okay.

"Hiro is missing, and I know for a fact it was that person again!" Gemi yelled angrily, as purple flames surrounded her, and her hair turned black and her eyes turned extra darker.

"That persons gonna pay!" Gemi yelled as she somehow teleported or shadow travelled, what ever she calls it.

After few hours we heard that after a long search, Zack and Gemi found Hiro in a big pile of trash behind the building of the academy, all tied up and knocked out cold.

~~End of Flashback~~

"That would make sense, I mean she could have ate something or drank something that was poisoned by someone, and that someone must be the same person who is trying to get ride of us" Rachel replied seriously and we both nodded.

It was time for a hunt, for that mysterious person.
