Scar's POV 


Pearl was gone, and now Gem, too. And who could it have been? Me!  The thought made me shiver as we headed down the alleyway. Someone patted my back and I looked up to see Grian. I smiled at him, and he smiled back.

I heard someone sigh. Xisuma had reached the end of the alleyway.

"There's just a bunch of junk the rest of the way." He said. I stretched my neck to try and see over the rubble of boxes and cardboard. 

"Wait," False called as everyone started to turn away "Look." She moved one of the boxes slowly. A stream of light came through."We've found them." 



????'s POV


I emerged from the tent, dressed in black and ready to fight. My eyes caught sight of Gem and the other "kidnapper". We exchanged a glance of worry and both grabbed Gem by the arms. It was hard not to talk. But we knew exactly what the other would do and say. I grabbed my grappling gun and pointed it upwards. The other did the same. Gem was forced into and uncomfortable-looking crouch position. I shifted her so she was a bit more comfortable. 

"Don't worry," I whispered. "We'll be fine."

Gem gasped at my voice. "You're-"

The boxes and rubble fell down and I shot my grappling gun, pulling Gem up with me and the other.



Grian's POV


"NO!" I yelled as Gem disappeared in front of us. 

False angrily kicked the brick wall and ended up with a hurt toe. 

Xisuma, Mumbo and Scar stayed behind a bit. Xisuma stepped up and stopped False from kicking the wall again. 

"Guys," Scar interrupted. He was holding a camera. "I recorded the whole thing."
