Scar's POV

I watched the scene before me, unable to move, speak or think.

The person in black dragged Gem away. She'd been taken. Who could it have been? Me!

Xisuma was the first to exit the house, banging the door against the wall and rushing outside. He was closely followed by False, then by Mumbo and Grian. 

"What happened here?" Xisuma asked, looking around. "And where's Gem?"

I froze, heating up quickly. "Uh- she- uh-" I sighed. "She's- been kidnapped." 

False gasped and covered her mouth. Xisuma looked so shocked for a minute, that he looked frozen.

Grian and Mumbo shared a surprised look.

"Well?" False said after a minute. "We came here looking for Pearl, and now we're also looking for Gem."

I fiddled with my fingers and zipped open my backpack. Jellie popped out of it and cuddled on my lap. "What?" I said, looking up at the others. "I needed Jellie cuddles."

Grian sighed. "Why would you bring your cat to-" He stopped. I watched him take out his phone. "Gem still has her phone on her." Grian said. "We can find out where she is!"

Gem's POV

My kidnapper took me away from Pearl's house. I couldn't see most of it because my eyes were covered half of the time. We entered a thin alleyway. At the end, the person in black shifted some boxes and revealed a small tent. I was shoved against a wall and my hands were tied up behind my back. I narrowed my eyes, trying to stop my heart thundering against my chest. 

"What do you want with me?!" I growled, fidgeting with my tied hands.

The person simply moved the boxes back and crouched beside me, untying my hands. Once my hands were free I reached for the mask but failed as the person shoved me back down.

"Ow," I grumbled, rubbing my right arm. The person in black's eyes darted from my arm to my eyes. I kept the gaze, staring into their face. I realized something and my eyes widened.

Grian's POV

Grian: gem, where r u??

Grian: gem?

Grian: gem???

It wasn't working. Something was wrong. 

"It's not-" I stopped, hearing a strange noise. "Everyone mute your phones!" I yelled, muting my own and typing in a message.

I heard a ding from the dark space between the buildings. I ran closer and picked up a phone on the ground. The screen was a little damaged, but I saw a picture on the screen. 

"Guys! There's a picture!" I said, showing the others. "This is where she is. Right over..." I spun around and pointed down the alleyway. 

"There."
