You immediately answered the call on your phone when you saw Nico's name. "Yeah?" You noticed her out of breath, and you immediately stood straight, alarming Gert and Molly. "Nico, are you okay?"

"Alex was kidnapped! I-I don't know who, but he was taken by some guys!"

Your eyes widened, and your heart rate started to quicken. "Wh-What? How?"

"I'll give you his phone number, and you try calling him, okay?" Nico instructed. "Meet me at Timely Coffee."

You and Nico both ended the call, and you hurriedly called Alex's number when you received it from Nico. "Come on, pick up, pick up." You muttered.

"What's going on?" Gert asked worriedly.

You turned your head to Gert and Molly and were about to speak until you heard Alex's answering machine. "Hey. Currently training on Dagobah. Leave a message." You quickly ended the call. "Shit." You mumbled. "Alex was taken away."

"What?" Gert shrieked. "By who?"

You shook your head. "I don't know. But we have to go to Timely Coffee right now."

Gert nodded while Molly grabbed her pink hat. "Get in the car. I'm driving." You followed Molly and Gert into the garage and sat in the back seat while Molly sat on the passenger's seat. You dialed Alex's number once more, your knee hopping up and down nervously.

"What if something happens to me? I feel a bit upset that you don't care about my well-being."

"I don't."

You leaned your head to your seat and groaned in annoyance when you were greeted by Alex's answering machine again. "Alex. It's me, (Y/n). Please, if you're ever going to receive this... call anyone of us. Nico's really weird about you..."

"You sure?"

"Fine, I'll cause chaos if anything bad happens to you. Happy?"

"I like to imagine that."

"I'm really worried about you too..." You whispered before ending the recorded message and trying to call him again. You and the sisters arrived at the coffee shop, and you spotted Nico and Karolina hugging and pulling away from each other when they saw Gert's car. 'Well, that's new...'

You exited the car and turned your phone off when you heard Alex's answering machine again. You sprinted your way to Nico and impulsively embraced her. "Are you okay?" You worriedly asked.

Nico nodded. "Yeah, yeah, I'm okay."

Nico pulled away but stayed her one arm around your waist as she faced Gert and Molly. "Ready to go?"

"Where are we going?" Gert asked. "We have no clue where Alex is."

Nico opened her bag and took out Tina's staff, causing your eyes to grow wide in surprise and horror. "Did you just steal that from your mother?" You gasped.

"You're in trouble," Molly mumbled.

"You think it can help us?" Karolina asked Nico.

Nico nodded in determination. "I'm counting on it." Nico clicked on the staff, and the holder grew longer as it did before, and the staff glowed. You shrugged. "Still looks like a ring light."

"Show us the way to Alex," Nico ordered the staff, and it didn't do anything for a moment.

"So much for the magical Wiccan proclamations," Gert replied, earning a small glare from you and Karolina.

The staff suddenly glowed brighter and released rays of red light. "What is that thing?" Karolina questioned.

"I don't know, but I think I'm in love," Nico remarked as the staff's glow faded. Nico glanced at you excitingly. "You should try this sometimes, (Y/n)."

"The lights are pretty, but how is this helping?" Molly asked.

"I think it's the heat signature of the car that took Alex." You explained as you pointed at the direction where the lights went. "I think the staff is trying to lead us to him."

Karolina nodded. "I'll drive."

Gert raised her hands out to stop everyone. "Wait! Hold on a second. I am all for the idea of rescuing Alex, but we have no clue what we're going up against."

"It could be my church," Karolina urged.

"Or the cops," Nico added. You looked at Nico, who sighed when she saw you. "Alex and I found out our parents were paying off the police. You were right, (Y/n). I should've listened to you in the first place."

You gave her a reassuring smile. "At least you realized it sooner before you two could say more to the police."

"Okay, so, just so I understand, we're either gonna be facing off against Gibborim enforcer types or a corrupt branch of the LAPD..." Gert stated.

"Could just be generic kidnappers," Molly added.

"...with no weapons and no plans." Gert finished.

"We have the staff and each other," Nico responded.

"Plus, like I keep telling you guys, I'm really, really strong!" Molly exclaimed until Gert had enough. "Molly, not now!"

"But-" You tried to defend Molly, but Gert also shushed you up. 'Great, if they keep shunning Molly out and doesn't believe her, what else if I tell them about my powers...'

"What about Chase?" Gert asked. "I sent him, like, a million texts, but he hasn't answered any of them. Shouldn't he be here?"

"We'll keep trying him on the way, but we can't lose Alex." Nico grabbed your hand and brought you inside the car while Karolina sat in the driver's seat. Gert sighed and followed along.

Nico sat on the passenger's seat and looked at you, being in between Gert and Molly. Nico sighed in worry. "Oh, shit." You looked at her, puzzled. "What?"

"I shouldn't have brought you along. You weren't feeling well and..."

"Hey, hey." You stopped her and gave her a smile. "I'm fine. I'll be fine, don't worry."

Nico looked down at your necklace and saw the crack. "I've never seen it cracked before... what happened?"

You and Molly glanced at each other before shaking your head. "I-I don't know either." You pulled out your phone and showed it to Nico. "Let's just keep calling Alex, okay? Maybe he'll pick up eventually."

While you were on the phone, you noticed how Karolina was driving way too fast just to follow the rays of light. "We need to slow down, okay?" Gert complained.

"I don't want to lose Alex!" Nico argued.

"We'll lose him if we crash!"

You rolled your eyes and covered one ear since the other one was against your phone, still trying to call Alex. "...swerving, it's about crashing! It's not about how sick I feel, but it's also a little bit about how sick I feel." Gert gulped.

Honestly, their screamings are stressing you out.

"This kind of reminds me of Magic Mountain or Six Flags." Molly laughed, clearly enjoying the ride.

"Karolina, are you checking your blind spots?" Gert scolded the blonde girl. Gert suddenly picked up her phone when Chase called her back. "Hey, what's going on?" You heard Chase ask.

"I'm with everyone," Gert replied. "We need your assistance to save Alex from some unidentified abductors."

"What?" Chase gasped, glancing at his father, whom he was starting to have a bond. The reason why Chase wasn't able to answer Gert's calls immediately was that he and his father started hanging out by creating Chase's Fistigons.

"There's a lot of insanity to fill you on, but we'll get to that later, okay? Right now, just get in your car, and I'm gonna send our GPS address, okay?" Gert told Chase through the phone. "Cool. See you then. Bye!" She ended the call before Chase could say another word.

Gert sighed in relief. "Relax, bro. Help is on the way." Karolina drifted the car hard right, and you leaned against Gert accidentally. Gert leaned closer to Karolina's seat. "That is if you don't kill us first."

"Karolina, you're doing great." Nico praised.

"Thank you," Karolina replied breathlessly.

"This is kind of fun." Molly laughed.

You kept your hand on your chest to try and make your heart steady. "I'm gonna fucking die." You whispered.
