"What track do you think Ray would like?" Raymond asked, trying to initiate a conversation.

Ever since Ray went on a phone call with Yuno, the atmosphere in their table has become tense and awkward. Only between Randy and Raymond. Tony tried to keep it cool between them whenever something escalates.

"She liked Rags 2 Riches a lot before she lost her memories." Randy informed him. "We tried racing there with CG before but it didn't really help her much. Maybe I should sit in with her. I was always there when she raced there." He tried to brag at Raymond.

"What about the one near the golf course? I do remember that I let her race with my Aventador and I sat in with her when we tried that track. Maybe that would help." Raymond wasn't backing out in this bragging competition.

Both of the boys glared at each other, shooting daggers, then suddenly went into a deep thought as Tony was just sipping on his smoothie, looking at both of them amused. He had never seen Raymond this serious except from when they robbed the casino. Tony looked at his phone to check the time. 1:34 PM. It has been nearly 45 minutes since Ray went out. He headed out the café and searched for Ray.

Meanwhile with the boys who were in deep thoughts at the café, someone's phone just received a call. It was Randy's. He looks at the caller ID and it was just from an unknown number. He declined the call then all of the sudden Raymond's phone went off. Both of them looked at each other.

"Who is it?" Randy asked Raymond.

Raymond checked the caller ID. "Unknown number." Was all he said.

"Don't answer it." Randy simply said.

Tony comes back running in the café and to the boys. He was panting and catching his breath before he spoke up. "You guys, we're in trouble." He looks at them, all worried. "Ray Mond isn't outside. I couldn't find her so I tried calling her phone. She's not answering."

"What?!" They said and stood in unison.

Before Tony could speak his phone rang. He looked at the caller ID, fear and worry filled his eyes.

"Is it an unknown number?" Raymond asked. Tony just nodded.

"Answer it." Randy said seriously trying to hide his nervousness.

Tony picked up the phone call and put it in loud speaker. "Hello?"

"Hello Mister Tony Corleone." The unfamiliar voice greeted. It sounded deep, menacing and could send shivers down your spine. "Mister Randy Bullet and Mister Raymond Romanov."

The boys looked at each other confused on how that person knows they were together and how they were listening to the call.

"Who are you?" Randy said in a threatening low voice.

"Who I am is something you shouldn't worry about. What you should worry about is this," He said as the phone's screen changed to a video call. Their eyes widened in shock and in fear when they saw an unconscious person in a cage. "I'm sure all of YOU don't want something to happen with her." It was Ray. She had her hands tied behind her back and her legs tied to the chair.

They clenched their fists trying to suppress their anger. Whoever is behind the kidnapping of Ray is in deep trouble. She is connected to both of the biggest gang in the city and the most powerful people. Chang Gang and Cleanbois will do everything to protect their family.

"What do you want?" Raymond said in a calm voice. He was trying to suppress his anger.

"What I want is simple. I will be pinging both Randy and Raymond a location in 6 hours. I only want both of you to come and if you do, no harm will come to Ray Mond." He ordered.

"How will we know that you won't harm her?" Tony asked.

"She won't be harmed by me. She and I shared something special before." They could sense a smile through his voice.

They shared something special? She knows this person? These were the questions that ran in their heads.

"I trust that you will follow my instructions. If not," Pings from Randy's and Raymond's phones were heard. Their eyes widened as they saw images that were sent to them. It was them when they met at the cubby, during Ray's driving practice, them at the café with Ray and a bunch of tools that seems to be for torturing someone. "I will do what is necessary."

The phone call ended and they were left speechless. The gangs needed to know what was going on but they couldn't risk getting Ray hurt. They knew this fact but they were still debating on it.

"We need to tell them." Randy broke the silence.

"What!?" Raymond yelled at him. "Do you want to put Ray's life at risk? You heard what he said Randy!"

"I heard what he said Raymond!" Randy yelled back. He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. "I feel like this person is the same guy that Ray got involved with." He lifted his head when he remembered the story Ray said that she was involved with a serial killer.

"Randy's right, Ray." Tony interjected. "Telling the boys and CG seems to be the better move than not telling at all."

Raymond thought about it for a second and sighed in defeat. He nodded at Tony and Randy, agreeing to their suggestion. "We have to make it quiet though. He seems to be following us."

They nodded and decided to return to Little Seoul to talk without having anyone spying on them. They went in Randy's apartment to contact Lang and K about having an emergency meeting. They decided to have everyone discreetly come to the Clean Manor since they had high level security.

They were worried with Ray but they were also worried for themselves because they know that Yuno will not be happy hearing about his sister getting kidnapped.

***

Ray felt a massive headache when she felt her body lean forward. She groaned as she tried to open her eyes. Where am I? She tried to stand up but her body seemed to be tied to something. She looks down and sees the ropes around her body. She looks around and realizes that she was in a cage. The room was filled with tools and books and was dark aside from where she was. The only light in the room was over her head.

"Help! Someone!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, hoping that someone heard her. "Raymond! Yuno! Randy! Anyone out there?!"

"No one will hear you, Ray Mond. No matter how loud you cry for help, no one will be able to hear you." She heard someone say from her right. She squints her eyes to see them in the dark.

"Who are you?" The person walked closer to the cage to reveal who they were. "Thomas?" She asked with confusion. "Why would you do this? I didn't do anything to you." She explained herself.

"You really did lose your memories, Ray Mond." He scoffed in disappointment and started pacing around the cage. "The moment I got out of the ICU after a month, I thought to myself 'I needed to see you. I needed to talk and ask you why you never visited me'. I thought you and I had something special." He stopped and grabbed a chair. He placed it in front of her and sat. "But what did I hear when I came out? You were also in ICU."

"Thomas, I don't understand what you're trying to say." Ray begged him. "Please, whatever I did before, I am so sorry."

Thomas looked at her. He ignored her words and continued talking. "When I heard that you woke up, I was in the hospital trying to look after you from a far. I overheard your doctor talking to your brother Yuno, about your amnesia, and I thought that this would be a perfect opportunity for the both of us. To start something new. You, making new memories with me." He smiled at her.

His smile triggered something in Ray that made her feel a stronger headache. "Thomas, please I beg you. Let me go." She started crying.

Thomas slammed his chair in anger and frustration. "I am not Thomas!" He yelled at her which made her cry even more. He ran his fingers through his hair and thought of something. He turned to Ray with a psychopathic smile which made her body shiver in fear. "What if, I trigger your memories back then maybe your feelings for me will come back."

Ray's eyes were now filled with fear. Her cries became silent and her whole body stiffened. The headache she had become even more painful which made her wince in pain and slowly lose her consciousness again.

She heard clattering of metals in front of her. She sees him picking out some tools and devices then turned back to her. He switched the lights to red and blue and pointed it towards Ray. She looked away and closed her eyes in fear, hoping to wake up from the nightmare. He turned on a machine and a tool started whirling.

Ray was shaking so much that her eyes kept blinking which made the lights flicker for her. "This won't be that painful. I promise it's for your own good." Those were the last words she heard before blacking out.

A few hours after the mysterious phone call, members of Chang Gang and Cleanbois slowly arrived at the Manor. Randy, Raymond and Tony were waiting for everyone to arrive before they explained the whole situation. Yuno was arriving a little late as he was doing a boost. Neither of the boys told Yuno what the meeting was about. With each passing minute as they waited for Yuno, Raymond and Randy could not hide their nervousness.

The head security spoke on over the radio. "Mr. Yuno is here sir."

The shot their heads up to the front door and saw Yuno walking towards them.

"What is the meeting about, Mr. Lang? Why is Chang Gang here?" He asked with curiosity as he sat down. He looked at the crowd searching for someone. "Where's Ray Mond?" He looked at Randy, Raymond and Tony.

Raymond almost choked at Yuno's question. "We'll get to that Yuno. Tony has something to say first." Yuno just nodded still wondering where his sister is.

Tony stood up and cleared his throat. The chatter in the room died down and focused their attention to him. "Thank you for coming here in such notice." He took a deep breath, trying to figure out what to say next. "Honestly, I don't know how to say this in a way where uhh, it won't sound as bad as it actually is." He chuckled nervously. "We got a call earlier, around 1:40 PM. Me, Randy, and Raymond were chilling at UWU while Ray was on the phone with Yuno outside."

Everything was adding up to Yuno up to that point. So he kept his eyes locked on Tony as he becomes more anxious with what is happening.

"That call was from someone we don't know. His voice was deep and sounded ominous, he was speaking as if he knows us. He also knew Ray and said that they had something 'special'." Some members of CG seem to have an idea on who Tony was talking about and started feeling nervous with what is happening.

"This person, Tony," Mr. K interjected. "did he send you pictures of you and the others as if he were stalking you?"

Tony, Randy and Raymond were surprised that Mr. K knew all of this. "How did you know, K?" Randy asked full of curiosity.

Mr. K sighed and looked up at them. "This isn't the first time it happened, Randy."

"What the hell is going on?!" Yuno yelled in frustration. "Where is my sister and what does the call have to do with it?!"

"Ray has been kidnapped, Yuno." Raymond finally said it. Yuno's eyes widened and was filling up with anger. "I'm so sorry, Yuno."

"I trusted you to protect my sister." He said, emphasizing every word. Yuno loved nothing but to punch them for failing him but he knew better. Hurting them wouldn't save Ray. "Where is she?" He asked calmly but filled with anger.

"We don't know, Yuno. All he showed us was Ray tied up in a cage." Randy explained.

"Wait, a cage?" Ramee asked. He turned to K. "K, I think it's Joe. He's keeping her back there."

Everyone was confused with what K and Ramee were talking about. "K, explain how you know all of this."

"A few days before Ray lost her memories, she was involved with a guy named Joe Goldberg. Him and Ray went out on a date on Valentine's and they kept in touch for a couple of days." K started explaining the situation between Ray and Joe.

"The people who held up Ray were just trying to get Joe out because he had kidnapped someone from their group. They handled him after all of that and last we heard of him, he was in the ICU." Ramee concluded. "He's probably back to get revenge on Ray."

Yuno stood up and was about to leave the Manor but they held him back. "Let go of me." He ordered.

"Yuno, if you are going to storm in his place he is going to harm Ray." Raymond explained to him. "We weren't supposed to tell anyone."

"So what are we supposed to do right now then, just wait for him until he calls you? My sister could be in trouble right now. She could be hurt, for Christ's sake!" He yelled.

"We can have people scout Harmony." Lang suggested. "What else did he say on the call, boys?" Lang asked them, hoping to get more information.

"He said that he was going to ping us to a location around 7 PM tonight. He also told us that only me and Raymond should go there alone if we want Ray to be safe." Randy replied.

Lang nodded his head and was deep in thought for a bit. He turned to K. "What do you think we should do, K? This matter has become more serious now that Randy and Raymond are also involved."

"Hmm." K was thinking about what to do. "I agree with having scouts around Harmony. Monitor the situation around there and see if anything suspicious happens. We'll have Randy and Raymond wait for the ping and we'll follow them from a distance."

"We could also have snipers ready in case things go south." Lang added. "Have back-up cars, boats, and helicopters. We might get into a chase so have those ready also."

Everyone started leaving to prepare for their plan. CG was in charge of the guns while CB were tasked on the vehicles. Randy and Raymond carefully approached Yuno who was outside, getting fresh air.

"Yuno?" Raymond called him carefully. He may be Yuno's best friend but everyone knew that after Ray's accident, he is willing to turn against anyone if it means protecting her.

Yuno cleared his throat before turning around to them. His eyes were red as he was trying to hold back his tears. "What's up, Raymond?"

"We're sorry, Yuno." Randy apologized. "We should have been there beside her. I'm sorry that I failed to protect your sister again." He couldn't bear to lift his head up and look at Yuno.

Raymond created all of those opportunity for Randy to prove to Yuno that he won't let Ray get hurt the second time around but he blew it by not being by her side again. History seems to keep repeating for Randy.

"Let's just focus up on saving her. Then we'll have a talk." He left the both of them and joined Tony and Mickey with the preparation. They just looked at his retreating figure as they knew they both messed up this time.

A few more hours after the meeting at the Manor, Randy and Raymond just stared at both of their phones as they anxiously waited for Joe's ping. Curtis' voice was heard on their radio. "He's leaving the room with Ray."

"Okay, standby and ready to follow them discreetly." K said over the radio.

A few minutes after Curtis talked over the radio, they finally received the ping. It was the Cassidy Trail, specifically the Raton Canyon Bridge. They shared this information with everyone and they drove all the way there. They had bulletproof vests underneath their clothes and had guns hidden behind their back. They wore a wireless radio earpiece in case the others had something.

On their way to the meeting spot, all they could think about was Ray's safety. They didn't notice that they were already there. Before they got out, they saw a standing figure from a distance standing near a black pick-up truck. The figure slowly approached them as they got out.

"I am impressed with the both of you, you actually listen when something you value is on the line." He smirked at them.

"Where is Ray?" Randy went straight to the point.

"You really don't waste time, Randy Bullet." Joe was impressed.

"Don't pretend like you know us. You haven't even told us who you are." Raymond snarled at him. They pretended like they don't know him so that he won't suspect that they told others about the situation.

He just scoffed and ran walked back to the truck. He opened the passenger seat and grabbed Ray by the arm. He dragged her towards them as she seems to have no energy at all. When they were close enough, Joe stopped and kept Ray to his side. They looked at her closely and searched for any injuries. She didn't have any physical injuries but her clothes were torn in some parts.

She looks up to them with pain and regret in her eyes. She starts tearing up and her legs gave away. The boys approached her but Joe pulled out a gun and directed it at them.

"No no no boys. You stay there." He placed his hand on the trigger. "Remember, I have her and I know that you don't want to hurt her in any way."

"What do you want?" Raymond asked him.

"Simple, I want Ray Mond."

"What?" They were confused.

"I have heard at the hospital that the reason why Ray got into the ICU was because people weren't taking care of her the way she should be treated." He explained as he slowly paced behind Ray. "If only I was there with her, maybe she would still remember everything." He knelt beside her and slid the gun on the side of her face as if he were caressing her with it as she trembled in fear.

"Then why have us come?" Raymond asked with full curiosity and anger.

Joe stood up, turned his head to them and smiled maniacally as he finally stood in front of Ray. "To cut loose ends." He was about to point the gun at Randy but Ray yelled him.

"Stop!" She held back her tears and tried to stand up. She looks up and the boys see her face. She looked exhausted as if all of her energy was sucked out of her.

"If you want me, then take me. You don't have to hurt them." She begged Joe from behind. "I'll willingly go with you."

They looked at her with different emotions. Joe looked happy while Randy and Raymond were appalled at her decision.

"Don't do it Ray." Randy looked at her with fear in his eyes. "Don't leave me again."

She looks at him, tears escaping her brown eyes. "I have to, to protect all of you." She turned at Joe and had her head down. "Can I say goodbyes to them, please?"

Joe tucked her hair that was covering her face before answering. "Of course. Anything for you but I will shoot them if it takes longer than two minutes."

The boys wanted to just gun him down but they waited for the perfect opportunity.

Ray walked towards them, she couldn't look them in the eyes. She took a deep breath before she held Raymond's hands and looked up at him. "Thank you for being by my side Raymond. Thank you for trying to change yourself for me." She leaned close to his face and kissed his cheek. She gives him a tight hug and lightly laughs against his chest. "I've come to like you now. But I'm sorry."

"Our plane will not wait for much longer Ray Mond!" Joe was getting impatient.

She pulls back from the hug and turns to Randy and he immediately grabs her hands. "Please Ray, don't go. We can think of something else." She starts tearing up because for her, everything is over.

She gives him the tightest hug she could ever give and stayed silent for a moment before saying her last words.

"Thank you for being my day one, Randymundo."

Randy's tears escaped his eyes the same moment the sound of a gunshot echoed through the trail.

***

It has been three weeks since Joe kidnapped Ray. Everything was finally quiet and back to normal, except for some people.

Randy was chilling by the pier, thinking about what has happened since
