Gerard's POV. I awoke at 2:24am to the sound of the apartment phone

I awoke at 2:24am to the sound of the apartment phone. Who in their fucking right mind would want to talk to us at almost half past two in the morning? And we knew no one in other countries, so it wasn't like someone had miscalculated and fucked up the timezones. I walked out to the living room where the phone was and answered it.

"Hello?" I answered groggily.

"Hello," spoke a voice on the other end. It sounded familiar. I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

"Who is this?" I asked.

"You'll soon find out," the person said. I turned around and saw Mikey and Frank standing there, trying to ask who it was.

"Um ok, are you selling something? Because if you are, we're not interested," I told the person.

"No... well, selling might not be the correct word. I have something... or rather someone that you will want." the voice said.

"Um ok. What do you think it is that I want?" I asked, tiredly. I just wanted to go back to sleep.

"She goes by the name of Mimi and she was last seen leaving your apartment," the creepazoid said down the line.

"What the fuck? Uh why did you kidnap her?" I asked.

"Because. I want you," the creep said.

"Look, I'm really sorry, but I'm a taken man," I said.

"No. I want to KILL you," the person on the other end said. My eyebrows raised at least two inches up my forehead.

"W-What?" I asked.

"I know who you are and where you live. I know who lives with you. I want all three of you to come to the cemetery where one of your ex-partners lays. Come in 15 minutes if you want Mimi to still be alive. And to show I'm serious, I'll prove that I have the little slut," the person said before I heard Mimi scream on the other end. Holy fucking shit! What the hell was going on? I hung up on the asshole. Frank and Mikey were still waiting for answers.

"It was some creep. He has Mimi and wants us all to go to the cemetery where one of our ex-partners lays..." I trailed off.

"Erica's grave," Mikey realized.

"We have 15 minutes to get there or whoever it is, is gonna kill Mimi. Oh, and whoever it is knows our secret identities," I said.

"There's only one person who knows our secret identities and that's the owner of the tattoo parlor," Frank pointed out. "What's his problem with us?"

"I dunno, but we had better get moving," I said, rushing off to the bedroom to change in to my Dark Ninja costume.

"Gerard, I'm not coming. I'm no longer in the superhero business," Mikey said.

"Mikey, stop blaming yourself for Erica's death. The creepy guy wants all three of us or Mimi dies. Do you really want another woman in your life to be killed?" I asked him. I know I was a little harsh, but I felt like I needed to be in order to get through to him. Mikey looked at me as tears formed in his eyes.

"Fine. Gimme a second to get ready," he spoke, walking off to his bedroom.

2 minutes after I'd hung up on the mystery caller, We all decided that the quickest way to get there was to fly. Frank held onto me and Mikey before I took off and we all left the apartment on the way to the cemetery.

We managed to arrive there with 1 minute to spare according to Mikey who was keeping time. He directed us to Erica's grave, which he'd visited quite frequently, before we flew down to the ground close by. As we approached the grave, under the moonlight, we were able to make out Mimi on the ground, her hands and feet bound, a gag in her mouth. But that wasn't the most shocking thing. The most shocking part of this was who was standing next to her... the mystery caller.
