Kouji blew a bubble with his gum as he led Daniel, Zack, and Vasco to the location. The warehouse loomed ahead, an imposing structure on the outskirts of town, its appearance matching the eerie descriptions they'd heard. As they approached the building, Kouji stopped abruptly, hands in his pockets.

"This is it," he said casually, glancing back at the boys. "You can pay me another time."

With that, Kouji turned on his heel and walked away, leaving the three of them standing at the entrance to the warehouse. Daniel, Zack, and Vasco exchanged looks.

Without wasting any more time, they prepared themselves to enter, fully aware that the people inside wouldn't give up easily. Their focus was on one thing only: finding you and getting you out safely. The atmosphere was tense, but the boys were ready to face whatever came their way.

As Daniel, Zack, and Vasco stormed into the warehouse, they were immediately confronted by a group of hostile goons. The thugs were armed and ready, engaging the boys in a fierce battle. Fists flew, and the sound of combat echoed through the cavernous building. Despite their strength and determination, the sheer number of enemies began to overwhelm them.

Just as things started to look dire, the heavy steel doors of the warehouse burst open, and in walked Goo, flanked by his crew. His entrance was as dramatic as ever, a menacing smirk on his face. The chaos in the room paused for a split second as everyone took in the sight.

Without missing a beat, Goo's crew joined the fray, their superior skills quickly turning the tide of the battle. Goo himself moved with a deadly precision, taking down opponents with ease, his usual cocky attitude replaced by a cold focus.

With the arrival of reinforcements, Daniel, Zack, and Vasco felt a renewed surge of energy. Together, the group began to push through the warehouse, taking down every goon in their path. The combined force of Goo's crew and the boys was unstoppable, and soon, the initial wave of attackers lay defeated on the ground.

But they all knew this was just the beginning. Somewhere deeper in the warehouse, you were still in danger, and they needed to reach you before it was too late.

As your vision slowly cleared, you tried to focus on your surroundings. The dim room was unfamiliar, with concrete walls and a single flickering light bulb hanging from the ceiling. The chair you were tied to was cold and hard, and the tight ropes digging into your skin reminded you of your helplessness. Your leg, the one that had been shot, throbbed with a dull pain, and you noticed it had been hastily bandaged.

Your mind raced as you tried to piece together what had happened. The last thing you remembered was waving at Goo's car, then the sharp pain of the bullet tearing through your leg before everything went black. Now, here you were, tied up in some unknown location, the air thick with the scent of damp concrete and something metallic—probably blood.

You strained against the ropes, testing their strength, but they held firm. Panic began to set in, but you forced yourself to take deep breaths, trying to stay calm and think. Whoever had captured you had patched up your leg, but that small mercy only added to the unease.

As you tried to gather your thoughts, you heard footsteps echoing down the hallway outside the room. The sound grew louder, and soon, the door creaked open. A figure stepped inside, but your vision was still too blurry to make out who it was. You could only make out a shadowy outline and the faint glint of something metal in their hand. The figure stepped closer, and as they did, a wave of dread washed over you.
