"well," said Emma, "Let's at least get the others here, try to collect evidence, not that I think we'll find any." when Indigo gave her a weird look she shrugged. "Just a hunch. This guy's good. He managed to find both Kiki and DeeDee. You havee to wonder what he actually wants."

They found lots of half finished potions and dirty dishes but nothing useful. They called the others and met up in shadow city. Once everyone but Deedee had arrived they started the meeting...

"What are we going to do?" asked Emma. "We have to find her." "Don't worry," Kiki answered "we will." "How?" Kiki pulled out DeeDee's phone. "I was looking at it. I was thinking, why would this guy bother and not give us some way to tell us what he's after. So I was going through the recen calls and found an unidentified #. I was waiting until everyone's here to call. I'm going to put it on speker though, so everyone needs to be really quiet." She hit the green button, went through several #s and hit the green button. It was picked up on the third ring. "Hello?" sadi a man's voice. "Hello," Kiki answered crisply. "Kiki Strike?" "This is she." "Are you alone?" "Yes," Kiki lied.

"Liar!" the man half laughed half snarled "..." Kiki didn't reply but traded looks with the others "I'm watching you! all of you! theres cameras everywhere!" he laughed "but thats fine," he was suddenly all business "I want you all to hear this. Every single one of you need to be at the zoo tomorrow, twelve noon sharp, if even a single one of you is missing I WILL KNOW and you will be lucky to be getting to be getting even a small piece of you friend back. And if you keep trying to find me, I will come and kill every last one of you." he hung up
"well," asked indigo breaking the silence "what now?"

"How is he watching us?" Emma wondered. Then the horrible truth dawned on her. "That means he knew about the Shadow City and where the best rooms are. This is bad. Are we going to meet him?" "I don't see how we have much of a choice," Kiki sighed, rubbing her temples. "And here I was hoping I could go, figure this out, and be home by dawn."

The irregulars began arriving in the zoo at eleven, they came slowly, in groups of twos and threes, some dressed in the standard black uniform others in disguise with the help of Betty, Their plan was to make it as difficult as possible for Holmes to catch any of them off guard and as difficult as possible for him to stay hidden.
Indigo Ash and Lacey were one of the first groups to arrive (Bethan was staying with Verushka) they wore normal clothes and their hair and makeup had been done by Betty. They wandered around the entrance searching for anyone who seemed to be paying too much attention to who came in. Kiki and Anaka came next in full irregular regalia, Kiki even wore a silver "i" on a chain around her neck. Indigo and co. didn't acknowledge them as the two purposefully made their way to the meeting spot and began to look around for traps.

Tara and Emma arrived wearing short cheerleader skirts. Tara tuggend at her belly top self conciously. "If my mother could see me now," she muttered. They went to the groundhog exhibit right across from where they were supposed to meet. They had been there about five minutes when they heard a voice an a firm hand was placed on each of their shoulders'. Emma looked up to see a man, about 6'2", wearing normal clothes and a baseball cap that would make him almost impossible to identify. "Groundhogs," he sighed, "I love those animals. They know when to stay underground. then his gaze turned back to them and he smiled in a way that was not at all reassuring. "Why don't you come across the way with me and we can join your friends?" he lifted up his shirt just a little bit, as if to scratch his stomach, and revealed a gun hidden in the waistband of his pants. He steered them over to where Irregulars were waiting.

"crap" muttered Lacey, the man had rounded up every single one of the girls and was probably not going to let them go without a fire fight. Ash was looking decidedly panicky and the others weren't to much calmer. Lacey shot a desperate look at Kiki. "fight or flight?" she mouthed

"Stay," kiki mouthed back. Lacey gave her a weird look. Kiki motioned to the man and made a shooting motion with her fingers. He had a gun and htere was a chance someone could get shot.

"smart choice" said the man looking at Kiki "I take it you're the leader?" Kiki just glared at him "now, why don't we take this somewhere a bit more private and I'll tell you what I want"

Kiki stepped forward. "How about we not?" The man smiled that menacing smile again. "I've got eight bullets in here and i could be gone before anyone could figure out what happened. So why don't you come with me?" Kiki glared at him but nodded. She motioned with her head to the other Irregulars. The man stepped aside as the girls walked past him. Tara was the last one to go and the man grabbed her as she walked past, slipping out his gun and sticking it in her back. "Just for insurance," he explained to them. "I don't suppose there's anyway you and i could go talk about this, and the rest of them can go?" Kiki asked, raising an eyebrow. Tara shook her head fervently at this option, but she need not have worried. "Nice try, sweetheart," the man said. "Now get moving. All of you." They walked out of the zoo and out of the park until they got to a set of nondiscript apartments. He opened the door and motioned them in, keeping the gun on Tara. They went in and up the elevator and at the third floor got off and went down the hallway. the man atopped when they got to room 312 and opened the door motioning them in. He went in last with Tara, shutting and deadbolting the door behind them. Now that they were alone, he shoved Tara into the middle of the room with the others and pulled out the gun, training it directly on kiki's forehead. "Ok, we're here," said Kiki, ignoring the gun pointed directly at her. "Now what do you want?"

"I want ten million dollars" said the man and Kiki snorted "money, how predictable, thats all you people think about isn't it?" The man lifted her by the hair so her toes barely skimmed the ground, Kiki fought the urge to kick him where it hurts in case the gun went off by accident. "I'm going to let you all go and then you all are going to steal ten million dollars from the federal reserve and bring it back to me, i'll contact you to tell you where, you have two weeks" "and how do you plan to make us?" asked Kiki "because" he clicked a slim remote with his foot and the far wall turned into a giant live video stream "if you fail to bring me the money on time, or if you involve the police" you will never see her again" the girls all turned to the screen to see Deedee blindfolded, gaged and strapped to a spiked metal post in the middle of a dark non nondescript room "and whats to stop us from killing you right here and now?" asked Kiki "If I die," he grinned showing two missing teeth "I have people who will kill the girl in ways you cannot even imagine" With that he threw Kiki across the room picked up the remote clicked another button and walked to the door locking it behind him. The second the door latched all the lights except for the giant TV screen went out and the locked, windowless room filled with Nitrous oxide.
OOC: Nitrous oxide is the stuff they use to knock you out when you have surgery

"Hold your breath," Kiki commanded. "Try to find a way out of here. Quick." Tara gulped in a deep breath and toook off down the hallway. She figured she had thrity seconds to a minute and a half before she passed. out. She punded on different doors and windows but they were all locked. At the end of the hallway was a window that had a fire escape, but there were metal bars across it. Of course. She wanted to go and tell someone else, maybe there would be a way to pry open the bars. But now she was feeling light headed and her chest was starting to collapse and expand rapidly. The guppy effect. She had to breath, had to feel air in her lungs. Had to... her mouth opened as if against her will and she gulped in a deep breath of toxic air. within ten seconds she hit the floor, unconcious.

Ash began to scream at the man to let them out but in doing so sucked in a huge gulp of the gas and collapsed.
Indigo held her breath and ran, trying to find a way out, but her lungs quickly started to burn and her vision blurred, automatically she opened her mouth to gasp for air, swayed, and crumpled to the floor.
Lacey lasted longer, she held her breath and stood still, looking around for an air conditioning or heating vent hoping that there might be fresh air blowing through it. Finding one she quickly went over to it and, feeling a bit of air passing through it, opened her mouth and took a breath, it was real air, she breathed shallowly for a few moments but then the vent shut off and she passed out.

Emma, holding her breath, ran down a hallway and tried opening the door. It was locked. She didn't have time to mess with it,so she kicked at the door and it collapsed. she ran in the room. It was small and filling with gas. She ran in, grabbing at furniture to try to find something to help. On top of the dresser she was grasping at was a locket. She didn't know what good it would do, but she grabbed it, tucking it in her pocket. Then, she passed out.
