Scorpinac: Yes, Eli is part of the lack of change with Trenton, but the other was that he was surprised by Josh's attack. He was winning up until that time. They'll figure out that their group effort is the only thing that'll defeat him. As for Samantha, Sakura made her feel like shit, but I made sure to keep unclear as to whether she did or didn't send her away.

Madison sighs to herself putting her things down next to the twin bed in the room. She could see that she was going to have this room to herself, for now. She sits and puts her hands on her face trying not to cry yet again. She hadn't wanted to leave Josh's arms. She had hoped that he would whisk them away in the light of an intredimensional jump, but that didn't happen.
'Mom, I will never forgive you for this. I will make you regret this for the rest of your life.' she vowed in her mind.

'I couldn't stand looking into her eyes. I knew she looked like her mother, but she's almost the second coming of her mother. I'm sorry, Natasha, but I must do things my way. My daughter doesn't need to fool around with men that'll just break her heart.'

'So they are down one...I shall take advantage of this.' Trenton pondered watching Sakura, Meilin and Shienna walking together. He powers up a blast and throws it making the girls scatter. Deciding that Sakura would be the best to go after since she was the second most effected by Madison's departure. Knowing that he would have much time until the rest of them showed, Trenton focuses completely on Sakura. Injuring was what he wanted at the moment. The longer she suffered, the better.

'Damn it damn it damn it!" Lee rants in his head. He knew that Sakura needed a distraction and a girls' only outing was a good one, even if it was with Meilin and Shienna. Apparently, Chelsea was busy with Zachary and Rita and Nikki had homework to do so they couldn't go either. That probably was for the best since Trenton was attacking the three at the moment.

"What's the racket about?" Aidon asks coming out of the kitchen. He sees that Sakura was leaned up against Lee, the two mages looked tired, and she was keeping her weight off her left let. "What happened?"
"Trenton got us again." Meilin growled. "He hurt Sakura, but Lee mad him back off and Josh and Wulf chased him off. Eli showed up late as usual."
"How bad?"
"We used the healing card, but we were both weak from fighting him. so Sakura's will need to stay off her left leg for a couple of days." Eli explained letting Meilin's comment go for now.
"Lee?" Aidon asked and Lee nods.
"I'll stay here and help take of her." Lee offers and Aidon smiles approvingly at him.

'Darn it! She got hurt and I'm stuck at this stupid school!' Madison fumed in her head Someone knocks at the door and Madison sighs. "Come in." she said. The moment she did so, Several men come into the room and restrained her.
"Let me go!"
"You are coming with us, Madison Taylor." an agent stated. "Grab her things and let's get out of here before they get suspicious." They tie and gag her and drag her out of the room and out a side exit to a black SUV. A door was opened and she was thrown onto the floorboard of the back seat. The agents drive off with their target secured.

"I like your bedside manor..." Sakura commented looking into Lee's eyes. Her bad leg was in his lap and he was wrapping it in a cold towel to keep the swelling down.
"the card healed the break, but we were so weak that the card couldn't do anything else." he said and finishes his wrap job. He leans over and kisses her. "I'm sorry that..."
"I just don't understand her...I thought she wouldn't do it."
"That's why we have to keep magic a secret." Kero says and Ember crawls into her arms and cuddles with her.
"The stuffed animal is right. Samantha couldn't accept what Madison has gone through. That would be the of a lot of people today. Although, if we told Zachary about our adventures he'd probably believe us." Lee said and Sakura giggles.
"Guys!" Josh's voice comes from downstairs. The two hear the boy genius running up the stairs. Lee bites his lip. If Josh had to come to tell them something then something was wrong."
"In here Josh!" she calls out and Josh stumbles into the room. He leaned against the door frame in an attempt to catch his breath.
"Our employee...,they got her." Josh gets out through his pants of breath.
"You don't mean..." Lee began.
"Madison?" Sakura finished terror now gripping.
"Yeah, I couldn't get a hold of Wulf and Meilin and Shienna doesn't have a phone. They've got their trump card now."
"Josh, what can we do to mount a rescue?" Lee asked to Josh's surprise.
"I thought it would have been Sakura to ask that and you would have tried to convince her that we couldn't do it." Josh said now breathing normally again.
"I'm getting tired of this. If they want to play dirty then we shall refuse to play. We'll get Madison back, even if we have to hurt them badly." Lee said firmly and Sakura nods her agreement.
"Well, I figured that I would have to actually be sitting at one of their computers to do damage to their system. I say we go for it too."
"Good. Tell them that we will not accept our next mission unless it's in person at their headquarters." Sakura said.
"I hope they won't..." Josh states but Lee stops him.
"No, just tell them that we want first person accounts that she's ok. That let us see her and we go on our mission...but" Lee began.
"But we actually bring them down." Josh finished with a vicious grin.
"Remember, we get Madison first, then we can worry about destroying their systems." Sakura reminded the boys.
"Don't worry, I want her out of there even more than you do." Josh affirmed and Sakura nods her approval.
