Ezra's pov

"Remember Zeb, we can't steal any ties this time." I say.

He rolls his eyes at me. "That one was your fault kid."

"No it was your fault." I argued.

"I would punch you to shut up, but we have to get the supplies." He says.

"Fine." I mumble.

I'm starting to think Hera wants something bad to happen when we go on supply runs. Because the last time she made Zeb and I go on one, we stole a tie and rescued Mr. Sumar from captivity.

It's not like Hera would send us on another supply run being like, "What could go wrong this time?"

I already thought of 10 things that could go wrong today.

"Lets go to that stand of fruit over there." Zeb says pointing to small beat up fruit stand.

That stand went through a terrible robbery. I was there to witness it. Not the best day on the streets.

"Ok let's go."

Before we could even step one foot towards the stand, two boys stop us in our tracks.

"Excuse us, but can you help us with something?" One of the boys asks.

They both look to be my age. I definitely have never seen them before.

"What do you need help with?" Zeb asks.

"Our van stopped working and we need help pushing it to a gash station." The blonde haired boy says.

"Sorry but there is no gas station here." I say.

"Oh. Well I think we have something that could help run the engines. Can you help us work that?" He asks.

I'm becoming a little suspicious of how desperate they are. I could tell Zeb is feeling the same way by the face he is making.

"There are people who could fix vehicles somewhere around here. They could help you." Zeb says.

"We already tried. They were busy. Please help us." The boy begged.

Zeb sighs. "Fine we will help you."

I give him a confused look. He then gives me a just do it look. At least it's just helping them out with something and nothing else.

When we all got to the van, it was bigger than I expected. These boys must be very fortunate. I can't even see from the inside of the van.

"Do you have the supplies to fix the engines?" Zeb asks.

"Yes, it's in the trunk. Can you help us get it?" The brown haired boy asks pointing at me.

"Uh sure." I hesitantly say.

The two boys went to the trunk and opened it revealing the inside of it. I bend down and started searching for the supplies.

"Do you want me to get it too?" Zeb asks from behind me.

"It's very small, he could get it." One of the boys says.

"I can't really see anything." I mumble looking through all the stuff.

That's when I hear a noise coming from the van. It sounded like.....the engine was starting?

Zeb heard it too. "Wait I thought you said the engines were-"

All of a sudden, I feel myself being pushed inside the trunk. Before I could even react, the trunk closes leaving me in a cramped dark trunk.

"What the...." I whisper and try to move around.

Did I just get kidnapped?!?!?

I hear someone yelling outside, definitely Zeb because I hear a lot of karabasts. The van starts to move and I could feel it's driving away.

Yeah....I just got kidnapped.

I hear some voices coming from the van. It sounded like they are saying, "We got him."

I start to panic. Why do they want me? What are they going to do to me? What about Zeb?!? What did they do to him?!?

I was brought out of my thoughts when I finally saw light in this dark trunk. It was an opening into the van.

I took advantage of it and crawled out.

"Are you ok?" Someone asks me.

I sit down on the seat and see the two boys next to me.

"Am I ok?!? Who are you guys?!? Let me go!!!" I shout.

"Calm down. We aren't going to hurt you. My name is Matt and this is Scott." Matt says and Scott waves.

I was going to yell again, till I realized something.

"Who's driving?" I ask.

"I am."

I look at the drivers seat to see a man with a bald head driving.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"His name is Mr. Heart." Scott says.

Wait.....is that the guy who......oh no.

My eyes widen. "You're the one who wanted to take me away!!!"

"For a good reason, little one." Mr. Heart says.

"When Kanan finds out, he's going to-"

"Don't worry I'll call him and tell him you're with us." He says. "He'll be fine with it."

I'm really confused right now. "You're going to tell my master you kidnapped me, and you're going to expect him to be ok with it?"

"It's only going to be a one day thing." He says.

"One day?!?"

"Yeah, you're going to love the academy." Matt says.

These people are insane.....

"If you wanted me to explore your academy, you could've just arranged something with Kanan instead of hauling me into your trunk." I say.

"That's what we do." Scott says.

"I'm calling your master right now." Mr. Heart says.

"While driving?" I ask.

"I'll put it on speaker." He says.

This should be.......interesting?

Kanan's pov

Zeb just came back and told us everything. I'm now freaking out.

"Do you know who the kids were that took him?" I ask while shaking in fear.

"No, they didn't tell us who they were. They threw him in the trunk and ran into the van before I could get ahold of them." Zeb says.

I kept pacing back and forth worried for my padawan. I shouldn't have let Ezra go on a supply run. Something bad always happens for some reason.

I was about to ask Zeb something else, till I felt my comm vibrating in my pocket. I took it out with confusion.

I don't know who is calling me. But I decide to answer it just in case it's someone important.

"Hello?"

"Hello Kanan Jarrus." A voice says through the comm.

"Who's that?" Zeb asks me.

"I don't know." I tell him. "Who is this?"

"It's Michael Heart." He says.

I roll my eyes. "You again. I'm not talking to you. Goodbye."

"He is very rude." We hear someone else says.

"I told you." Michael says.

Zeb suddenly gasps. "That sounds like one of the boys who took the kid!!!"

My eyes widen. "Michael, where is he?!?! He better be ok!!!"

"I'm ok Kanan." I hear Ezra say. "But I could be a whole lot better."

"See? The boy is alright." Michael says.

"Give him back!!! I knew you were crazy, but I didn't think you were crazy enough to kidnap Ezra!!!" I shout.

"We didn't kidnap him." Michael lies.

"Yes you did." Ezra says.

"The point is...." Michael starts. "He will be staying with us for a day, then we will give him back."

"No way in force that's happening." I growl.

"Sorry bad connection, goodbye." Michael then hangs up.

"Michael?!?!? MICHAEL?!?!?" I shout.

"Stop shouting Kanan. You wouldn't want Hera to hear you. It would be worse if she knew what's going on." Zeb says.

"What's going on?"

We both turn around to see Hera standing by the door with her arms crossed.

"Well........." Zeb and I say at the same time.
