Yohji jumped when his phone rang. He snapped it open and put it to his ear.

“Had a feeling you would still be looking for your leader. Don’t bother. There’s not much left to save, and he’ll probably wish you didn’t. The other two are dead and he’ll be joining them in a few minutes. Just go home.”

“Please, just…let him live.” Yohji winced and nearly dropped the phone at the sound of Aya’s voice. That was a definite scream. Shit! What the hell are they doing to him?

“His body’s all ripped to shit. He’s not going to live, so just go home already,” the line went dead. Yohji paused when his video screen blipped. Those stupid bastards were using Knight’s phone. He put the phone down and clenched his hands on the wheel.

“Yohji, you just got really pale, let me drive,” Ken said, looking really nervous.

“I heard him scream!” Yohji hissed, his hands tightening on the wheel so hard that it squeaked in protest.

That shut Ken up. They all knew that Aya didn’t scream unless he was really pissed off and enjoying the kill.

“We’re too far away. It’ll it could take forty five minutes to get there!” even Omi’s voice sounded strained.

“He doesn’t have that long!” Yohji snapped the phone open again and dialled Kritiker.

“Pawn and Knight are dead, and we don’t think we can get to Abyssinian fast enough to save his life. I’m following Knight’s GPS, but we’re too far away!” Yohji all but shouted into the phone.

“Okay. Just…hurry!” He felt completely helpless. Aya was dying and there wasn’t a damned thing he could do about it. And worse still, if they did save Aya it would be Kritiker doing it. Aya wouldn’t even have the people he really trusted coming to his rescue, he would have virtual strangers. Strangers would see him in whatever shape he was in. And strangers were going to be trusted to keep him alive. Yohji wouldn’t even be able to kill the sons of bitches that were hurting Aya. No, they’d already be dead, probably gunshots to the head. A mercy they didn’t deserve after what they’d done!

“I guess that’s all we can do from here,” Ken growled, echoing his thoughts.

Yohji floored it as hard as he could. The damned police had better not pull him over, or he was going to kill them. If the stupid police hadn’t stopped him when he’d been tracking Aya and Knight the first time maybe Aya would be safe at home and they would’ve had some time to plan things.

“You’re going to crash us!” Omi squeaked when Yohji weaved in and out of traffic. He wasn’t going to bloody well crash them! He knew how to drive fast.

He had to do everything he could to get there as soon as he was able to. What happened if Kritiker didn’t answer his call for help right away. Aya could die.

“Yohji!” Ken shouted when Yohji jumped the curb, cutting across the sidewalk instead of waiting at the lights. It was dark out, and there weren’t any people around.

When the phone rang again Ken grabbed it before Yohji could.

“Thank God! Okay, we’ll meet him there. Who? No, I don‘t know who they are. What should I be looking for? Oh, okay.” Ken hung up and scratched a hand through his hair.

“That was Manx. Head toward the hospital. Aya’s there. He’s in the emergency room right now. She said the Crashers were there waiting to keep us informed. Um, someone named Queen and Bishop. Queen‘s going to be watching for us, I guess.”

At least the hospital was closer than the place where they’d tortured Aya. It still took twenty minutes to get there.

The second they got in the doors they were greeted by a tall dark haired woman, who’s eyes were red rimmed like she’d been crying.

“Queen?” Ken asked. The woman nodded, leading them to the waiting room.

“I don’t know who they sent in to get Abyssinian. We beat the ambulance here and Ran…he’s in bad shape. He was barely conscious, and his eyes looked dead. I don’t know how someone looking like that can still be alive, and the doctors won’t tell us a thing. Knight and Pawn were dead on sight, that much we know from Kritiker. I didn’t want to believe them, so I sent Rook to sneak into the morgue to double check. Its definitely them.” she sat down and hung her head.

“I’m sorry,” Yohji patted her on the shoulder.

“I don’t know if you knew this, but Ran was one of ours for a while. We weren’t as close to him as you are, but we liked him, respected him. We’ve lost two of ours, it had better not be three,” her shoulders started to shake.

“Aya’s too stubborn to die,” Yohji said.

“God, I hope so,” she sniffed.

So do I! Yohji thought. He didn’t want to say it out loud. Didn’t want to jinx Aya’s chances or scare the younger members of Weiss any more than they already were.
