"Do you know if Kenma is trustworthy?" Kageyama asks. Hinata bumps Kageyama in the side.

"Kenma doesn't talk to many people. We can trust him," Hinata exclaims. Kageyama sighs. They had about an hour to get back to the campsite before someone would recognize them. News reports and posters were showing their faces all around town. Kageyama and Hinata had enough things to hide their face for a while but it wouldn't be long before someone saw through it.

"Today is Sunday so it's been a week since we left. Is the house ready for us?" Kageyama asks.

"Yeah," Hinata responds. "We have to get back to the campsite so we can leave-"

"Shoyo?" A voice calls out. Hinata and Kageyama freeze in fear. How could someone recognize them that fast? "Shoyo?!" the person calls again.

"Just keep walking," Kageyama whispers. Hinata nods and starts walking again. They tried to hide their nerves but it was hard. The person snuck in front of them and stopped them in their tracks.

"Shoyo! It's me," The person exclaims.

"Kenma?!" Hinata leaps forward to bring Kenma into a tight embrace. "I miss you so much."

"I missed you too," Kenma says quietly. Kageyama looks around them to see if anyone figured them out. He notices someone walk closer to them and then pulls out their phone.

"Hinata, we have to leave now!" Kageyama whispers. "I think someone recognizes us." Hinata lets go of Kenma and looks around worried. Hinata sees the same person Kageyama saw. It seemed like they were closer than before. He looks back at Kageyama, and both nod their heads. Kenma was confused about what was going on. Before Kenma could ask, Hinata and Kageyama ran off.

"Wait! Shoyo, where are you going?" Kenma shouted. Hinata looked behind to quickly look at Kenma.

"Just go to the edge of the forest later," Hinata yells. He turns back and runs off. Kenma turned around as he felt someone tap his shoulder. Kenma looks at the person in front of him. They had silver hair with black tips. His face was soft and didn't seem like something was bothering him.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but who were those two boys you were talking to earlier?" the man asks. Kenma looks around nervously before answering.

"I don't know who you are talking about. I am talking to you right now if that counts." Kenma saw the man's face tighten slightly.

"No, that's not it," he responds. "Thank you for your help." The man walks away, pulling out his phone and dialing a number. Kenma sighed in relief. That should hold them off for a while. Kenma remembered that Hinata would be at the edge of the forest. He had enough time to get there before Kuroo would worry where he had been. Kenma goes the same direction Hinata left. As he is walking, he passes the man that talked to him earlier. He was on the phone talking to someone. Kenma was able to overhear part of the conversation.

"They matched the description," the man says. "There was also a kid talking to them. I tried asking him if he knew the two, but he tried acting stupid. I don't know where they ran off to." Kenma tries to hide his worry. His plan didn't work, so Hinata and Kageyama are in great danger now.

Kenma arrived at the edge of the forest around 2 pm. He didn't see Hinata or Kageyama, so he decided to go into the forest. He spent an hour searching for them, but he had no luck. Kenma was about to go home until he stumbled into a small camp. Everything was neatly put into place. The bed was made, bags were organized next to a tree, and the clothes were piled next to the tent. Kenma wandered around the camp looking at everything. Kenma looks at the bags and sees a slip of paper.

"5673 Moonspark Street?" Kenma mutters. "Where is that?" Kenma put the paper in his pocket. He continues to look at the bags. Searching for anything that could say who made the camp.

"Kenma?" someone questions. Kenma looks behind him and sees Kageyama wrapped in a towel. He was holding his clothes and dripping wet. "What are you doing here?"

"I went to the edge of the forest, but Shoyo wasn't there," Kenma explains. Kenma tries looking at Kageyama in the eyes. He was trying to avoid looking at Kageyama's body but that was difficult. Kageyama was pretty good-looking. His hair dripped water and glistened from the sun. Some water droplets ran down Kageyama's toned chest. The towel barely covering his hips. Kenma was too distracted to listen to Kageyama.

"Kenma! Are you even listening to me?" Kageyama yells. Kenma snaps out of his thoughts.

"I didn't know you lived here," Kenma says. Kageyama rolls his eyes. He goes to the pile of clothes and pickles out two outfits.

"Since you know everything, you get to join us," Kageyama groans. "Hinata is at the lake right now. You can go home and come to the address on that slip of paper."

"Can I bring people with me?" Kenma asks. Kageyama looks at Kenma in disgust.

"Absolutely not! We would get caught faster!" Kageyama blurts out.

"I know other kids in similar situations to you and Shoyo."

"If you can find a way to get them to the location without causing suspicion then go ahead," Hinata pipes up.

"Hey, Shoyo," Kenma says. "I promise that you won't get caught. I'll probably stay with you because I'm tired of my family anyways." Hinata glances over to Kageyama, who was getting dressed. Hinata looks back and nods.

__________________________

Kenma was able to successfully bring 18 kids. All of them varied in age, but most of them weren't in high school yet. The kids were carrying a large bag and a small shopping bag. Kenma had more bags than the kids but said that it was for everyone.

The house Hinata and Kageyama bought was humongous. It was a two-story house with 6 bedrooms and 4 restrooms. Outside, there was a large pool and backyard. The yard ran into the forest. The living room was wide and had a mezzanine. The kitchen was also big and had enough space to store things away. The garage was able to fit two cars, but there was a small room that had games and a lounging area. Each bedroom had two princes-sized beds and a small shelf to hold small items.

"This is so big!" a kid exclaimed.

"Yeah! And the bedrooms have big beds!"

"Are we going to stay here forever?"

"No, we are doing this for you until we can get you somewhere safe," Hinata explains. Kageyama was sitting in the living room, grumbling about the kids.

"How did you afford this house, Shoyo?" Kenma asks.

"I bought it with Koshi's credit card a month before we left. I was able to rent it out for a year," Hinata answers.

"Like a year is enough for me to get a job," Kageyama grumbles.

"Oh shut up Tobio!" Hinata shouts. "Stop being a dick and go help the kids."

"Like you can tell me what to do when I'm the one that does everything for you," Kageyama mutters under his breath as he goes over to the kids. Hinata hears him and kicks Kageyama in the groin. Kageyama trips and falls to the ground. He groans from the pain in his groin and hitting the floor. The kids run over to Kageyama and pretend to do CPR on him. Kenma chuckles from the sight of Kageyama being attacked by kids.

"Well, I should get going," Hinata speaks up.

"Where are you going?" Kenma asks.

"I'm going back to my old house and rob Koshi."
