Chapter Text
Inside a dark and forbidding alleyway two figures met for the first time. One in a dark gray trench coat, smoking a cigarette. The other in a bright red shirt and dark jeans.
“I’ve heard you’ll do any job for fifty dollars, is that true?” The gravelly voice of Norman asked.
“Yeah dawg, what do you got in mind?” Mike asked with a grin. “Need somebody clapped?”
“No, just kidnapped, I’ll handle him after he’s delivered to me. Think you can handle that?” Norman asked as he took a long drag of his cigarette.
“Aight, bet. I’m pretty good at that, kidnapped the mayor a lot in the past so should be pretty easy. Who’s the sucker that needs kidnapping?” Mike asked as he pulled out a joint and lighted it.
“A man that goes by the name Yuno.”
—————————
Yuno pulled up to the apartments and parked his car, he was mentally preparing himself for the vault heist they were doing later that day. It would be Harry’s first vault and he wanted to be sure it’d go smoothly. All he needed was the ping from Churro to pick up the thermite and they’d be ready.
“Hey, what up Yuno. Got any money on you?” Mike Block said from the car parked next to him. “Oh! Twenty Three!” Four Tee happily chirped from the passenger seat.
“Mr. Block, hey Four Tee!” Yuno said with a grin under his helmet as he gave a small wave. “Nah, I’m broke man. I got like maybe a hundred bucks.”
“I don’t believe you dawg.” Mike said as he pulled out his gun. “But you know what you can do? Get in the trunk of my van.”
Yuno tensed up at that and nervously looked between Mike and Four Tee. “Wh-what’s this about guys? Do you need that hundred, cause I can give it to you?”
“In. The trunk.” Mike said , his voice lowering to a more threatening tone. Yuno looked down and quietly followed orders, crawling into the trunk space and pulling his knees up to his chin to hug his legs tightly.
The van peeled off and drove around for a bit before coming to a rest at a parking garage. “Out the trunk.” Mike said as the door popped open.
Yuno crawled back out and Mike held the gun to his head. “You’re going to drop your phone and everything into the trunk, don’t need you snitching on us.”
“Number one? We-we’re not going to hurt him are we?” Four Tee asked quietly, shuffling in place as she couldn’t decide if she should side with her number one or help her twenty three.
“Nah, we’re just the delivery guys. What the guy does with him afterwards is none of our business.” Mike said as he grabbed the phone and radio out of the trunk and started walking away. “You guys guard him while I get some rope and go call the guy.”
“Hmmm…” Four Tee said with a sigh. She grabbed her phone from her pocket and walked a bit away from the other Blocks that were holding Yuno up. “Be right back, I’ve got a Four Tee Taxi call.”
She hurried up the stairs and dialed her number fourteen. “Hey Four Tee, what’s up?” Peanut’s voice said happily.
“Fourteen, I-I need your help.” Four Tee whispered, stealing glance back at the shivering Yuno. “Number one just kidnapped number twenty three, I think he’s going to get hurt. Can-can you get a group to save him? I can send you pings?”
“What?! Yo Guy Jones, Mike Block kidnapped Yuno. Call Buddha and let him know.” Peanut said, his voice sounding muffled. “Four Tee is with them. My ping is fifty.”
—————————
Lang looked down at his phone at rolled his eyes, Guy Jones was calling him in the middle of his business meeting. He sighed after the third time he tried calling and picked up the phone. “What’s up baby?” Lang asked as he took a few steps away from Dean and Leslie.
“Booja, we’re tailing Mike Block.” Guy said as Lang stopped walking. “He’s currently got Yuno in the trunk of his vehicle, they’re on the move. He kidnapped him for somebody.”
Lang’s blood ran ice cold at those words. “Where?! Where?!” He yelled, running past his business partners and towards his car. “Stay on the phone don’t hung up, Harry get in the car get in the car!!!”
Harry quickly climbed in, leaving the Nerds he was with just as confused as he was. “Yuno got kidnapped by Mike Block, I’m going to clap his ass for even attempting to do that.” He yelled as he drove out of the manor.
“We’re in contact with Four Tee, she’s in the car giving us pings. She has a plan, meet us at the gas station at Little Seoul.” Guy said nervously, “But hurry. I don’t like the sounds of this.”
—————————
Four Tee watched as Mike roughly pulled Yuno from the trunk, the hacker’s hands were tied tightly behind his back. He looked so scared and she knew she’d made the right call to get help, none of her friends would get hurt.
She moved closer to Yuno and put her hand in one of his to reassure him. “When I say watch out, I need you to run towards the dark van, okay? They’re going to rescue you.” She whispered and he gave her hand a squeeze.
“Hey bwo, the rope’s too tight. His hands are getting cold, I’m gonna loosen them up a little so he doesn’t get hurt.” Four Tee said as she began fiddling with the ropes, her eyes darting around as she looked for and spotted the van. “Watch out!”
Yuno took his cue and bolted for the van, relief in his eyes at seeing Guy Jones open the side door and drag him inside by the shirt as Peanut drove off full speed. “I got you, you’re safe.” Guy said as he began cutting the ropes off.
The van skidded to a stop by the gas station and Lang all but ripped the door off it’s hinges to get to Yuno. “Is he hurt?”
“I-I’m fine, I missed the ping for the thermite. I’m sorry we’re all behind because of me, I’ll call and ask if I can get another ping…I gotta get a new phone.” Yuno rambled, his voice betraying the brave front he was trying to put up as he rubbed his wrists.
“Who cares about the bank, I’m worried about you.” Lang said as he pulled his hacker into a tight hug. “Why did he take you?”
“He, uhhh. He said they were delivering me to somebody else.” Yuno said as he looked off to the side.
“Yuno, Yuno look at me.” Lang said causing Yuno to look up. “Yuno, I don’t want you going anywhere alone today, okay? I can’t handle you going missing again.”
Guy Jones took a step next to him. “Me and Peanut can be his body guards til whatever job it is you’re doing later? Mike won’t mess with us.”
“Alright, just keep him safe.” Lang said with a sigh.
