This chapter will be about how the gang found Cat, and probably isn't going to be as interesting as compared to other chapters. Also, you might think that it's OOC for Beck -ahem, spoiler!- to get all worked up over a trivial matter. Hope this chapter is bearable. :)

"Robbie, where was the last place you and Cat been to?" Tori asked rather anxiously, brisk walking down the corridor towards the caféteria with Trina, Robbie, André and Beck - who have just caught up with them a few minutes ago. "We were outside the café when Cat went missing." Robbie answered, hanging his head in shame. Beck patted his rigid back in a comforting manner, smiling slightly at him as if to tell him everything will be fine.

Robbie shot him a half-hearted smile, "Well, this place is huge! How can we find Cat here?" Trina inquired, looking around in a futile effort to look for the redhead as they approach a two-way path.

"Let's split up. Me, Trina and André will go right, while Robbie and Beck take the left turn. We'll meet back here after we cleared the area for any signs of Cat, alright?" All of them nodded and headed on to their respective sides.

"Now, if I were Cat, where would I be?" Tori mumbled, racking her brain for areas the redhead would be. "Most probably somewhere she think it's save." André commented, peeking into the corner which led to the courtyard's entrance. "Door to the yard is locked, doubt she'd be out there." He added, glad to eliminate at least one possibility of where Cat might be. "Why not we ask those guards? They might have seen Cat." Trina suggested, glancing over to Tori and André for approval.

They walked up, and both Vega girls pushed André up front, much to his disapproval and great relantancy. "Uhh, would any of you.. say, by any chance saw a redhead, roughly this tall," He gustured, "pass by with a boy wearing spectacles?" The guards exchanged looks, and the older looking man with bushy mustache replied, "Yeh, we saw those two." André and the Vega sisters' faces lit up, anticipating a response.

Tori's face fell, "Sooo, did you see where they went?" annoyance was clear in her tone. "Huh? Oh! They went that way," The guard pointed down a path that lead to another corridor of cells, "then, the boy walked back without the girl." the second guard, with short, curly brown hair continued as the first guard nodded. The trio thanked the guards quickly before heading down the aforementioned path.

"I'm- I'm sorry! I didn't mean for that to happen and... and I don't know where she went- or how or why.. I just-" Robbie looked like he was about to get into a full blown panic attack, hyperventilating and all. "Rob, Robb- Robbie!" Beck called out, placing a hand on Robbie's shoulder as the bespectacled boy took a timid glance at him, his glaze filled with fear and sorrow. "It's not your fault that Cat's missing, okay? And even if it was, we'll find her and everything will be back to normal."

Robbie looked up from his gaze on his shoes, "Really?" Beck smiled and let out a husky chuckle, "Really." he patted Robbie's back as Robbie let a small smile creep up his face. "Now come on, we gotta focus on finding Cat." Beck declared, already shifting into serious gear as the two of the plodded down the long roll of cells.

"Watch where you're going, doof-bag!" a man, roughly Beck's height but taller by a half a head, exclaimed with annoyance. Robbie squeak after colliding with the man, and step back rather quickly. "Sorry, I'm sorry. Didn't see you there..." Robbie apologized, fazed by the taller man. "Sorry? Who'd you think you are?! You think you can just bang into me and go scot-free?" Beck stepped in upon this, "Look, my friend here already apologized." He motioned to Robbie, "So why not we let this go, huh?"

Robbie scuffled behind Beck, and tapped his shoulder. Beck tilted his head slightly, but did not let his gaze fall from from the man's. "Beck, he's the guy with the gang who threw rocks at us just 'cause Jade offended him." Beck came to realization after Robbie's harsh whisper on who exactly the guy was, as the man with natural dirty blond spiky hair and heavy stubble's smirk grew bigger. "Oh. I remember you boys! You were with that feisty chick earlier. Where are your gang and squirrel now, tough guy?" He chortled, "Is she too busy giving bjs to the blac-"

He did not have time to complete what he was about to say as Beck's fist connected with his jaw, sending him reeling backwards. "Beck!" Robbie cried out, desperately trying to pull Beck backwards and away, but Beck stood tall, unwilling to back down as he fixed his eyes on the taller and buffer man before him. ' How dare he talk about André and Jade like that! ' They were about to get into a fight, but two guards blow their whistles and came running up to the scene. "Alright, wha' is goin' on here, huh?" "He punched me!" The injured man responded, pointing an accusing finger on Beck.

"Ah. I want you both to go back to your cells. No more shenanigans!" The guard called out, his foot-long truncheons pulled out to prove his point of I-will-not-hesitate-to-hurt-you-if-you-refuse. The guy gave the duo a dirty look, before traipsing down the hall while cradling his bruised jaw. Beck retreated and hosed himself down after much effort on Robbie's part. "Cat's probably not here, let's go back and meet up with the André and the girls." Robbie chimed in, trying to ease the tension, directing the still fuming Beck down the hallway.

"Nooo! Go away!" André stood frozen for what seemed like forever; seconds seemed like minutes and minutes seemed like hours, straining to listen to where the sound was coming from. "Guys, did you hear that?" Tori and Trina paused in their track, "Yes... yes! That sounded like.." Tori paused, grinning at Trina and André, "CAT!" they trio hollered, before keeping quiet again to listen to where Cat's cries came from.

Time seemed to go in slow motion as they listened attentively. "Ouch!" surprisingly, a man's cry came instead of Cat's. "There!" Trina pointed down a hallway, before sprinting towards it with Tori and André in tow.

"Please go away!" Cat pleaded once again, ducking to avoid the man's rough assault in an attempt to plant kisses on her lips. She used this distraction to slip past his buff body, but she did not get the chance to get far as he caught her by her forearms. He fling her back and bit her neck, causing Cat to let out a tiny yelp, but she kicked him hard in the groins, resulting in him tumbling down while holding his swimsuit area in agony. Cat took it upon herself to run far away from this unruly man, and scampered down the hall.

"Oof!" Trina grunted as someone bang into her, "Hey, watch where you're going!" Trina exclaimed, "CAT!" Trina opened her eyes to see a very frightful redhead lying on top of her. "Cat, are you alright?" Tori questioned, extending an arm in an attempt to help Cat lift herself up from the older Vega sister and pulled Cat up. "Tori!" Cat flung her arms around Tori's neck, and started sobbing uncontrollably while the brunette patted her head and rubbed comforting circles on her small back.

"Shh, it's okay. You're back with us now." Tori cooed, with Cat's sobs subsiding by a little. "Yeah, ain't no one gonna get you when you're with us." André chimed in, pulling Trina up from the ground. "Really?" Cat piped in, her eyes banking up with hot tears which are effectively blurring her vision as she looked up at Tori, then to André and Trina. "Really, Cat, no one's going to hurt you." Trina affirmed in a soft tone, smiling at Cat instead of being all exasperated with her child-like antics.

"You know how worried Robbie was?" Tori asked, "He was?" "He sure was!" the older Vega sister continued on, "He was blaming himself repeatedly, and André here," Trina pointed to André, "almost beat him up for losing you!" this caused Cat to giggle out loud. "Come on, let's get back to meeting Beck and Robbie before they get worried and bored." André claimed in, making a mental note to apologize to Robbie later as he peregrinated down the corridor with the girls towards the pathway where they said to meet up with the duo.

This chapter isn't as interesting as the others, but to update on where Cat was and how the others found her. Hopefully, this chapter was bearable. :) I need some ideas as to where and how Jade can come back in to this story since she walked out of the cell in search for Cat - so if you have any good ideas, please tell me through reviews! Thanks, guys! :)
