Part 3: Run.
"What?! Joker is missing?!"
"Yes! He was missing since two days ago at Maldives!"
"How could he gone missing? He is Joker!"
"I-I don't either! He supposed to be back before Sky Joker off to Spain but he never did!"
"..."
"Mr Phoenix, what should we do? Mr Dark Eye said that they will find him but I can't just sit along all day! I need to help Mr Joker, I'm his apprentice!"
"...."
Hachi looked at the redhead. He seem to be looking so... shocked and in disbelief. His eyes reflected the sudden empty that was never been there before after the blue ninja told him the news.
"Mr... Mr Phoenix?" the small ninja called him again. This time, he regain his focus back.
The red hair alien looked back at him with a high determination "Hachi! Does Joker wear his watch before he went out?"
Hachi was surprised, but answered anyway "Y-Yes! Why?"
"Try to track him down by his watch! If Joker use his watch to calls his vehicles to get him, he must had put a tracker inside it!"
Hachi gasped in realization. Phoenix is right! If Joker always calls Sky Joker or Road Joker to him, there must be a tracker placed inside his watch to send his location. Hachi nodded quickly before exit the living room and went to find the control room, leaving the TV still on.
At the other side, Phoenix sighed. He stared at the space ship's floor.
"Where are you, Joker?"
Little do he know, that even thought he was instructing Hachi with full determined voice, the little ninja can sense his fear.
Fear of losing.

."How did the guards know we're escaping?!" the now small thief asked, looking behind him. To his demise, there were plenty of guards ran after them.
"The cameras," Vernon huffed "They must had noticed it by the cameras!"
Joker looked around him, despite being carried like a sack and was moving so fast, he could see the CCTV cameras on each of the corners.
"Where are we going?" Joker asked, looking at the young man's face.
"Vee."
Vernon ran to the side, to their surprise, a few guards were already waiting for them with armors. But they not wearing a full set of armors, like they were looking down at the escaping boys.
This make Vernon mad.
Without stopping, Vernon ran toward one of the guards that was standing in front. He jumped passed the guard by stepping to his head, and continuing passing them with the same way.
He ran fastest this time, afraid that they might caught up to him. He went to the left corner, where on the hallways there are a few doors. Each leading to a different rooms for different uses.
He entered one of the rooms with a sign that said 'Storage Room'.
"Urgh...," Joker grunted when Vernon accidentally making his face kissing at one of the dusty boxes. Now his lips covered in dust.
"I'm here, Vee," he said, putting down the small silver hair thief.
In cue, a young lady with a dark grey hair came out from her hiding. She flashed a smirk at the small young man before facing her brother "Good job, bro. Now all we need to do is escape."
"And how do we do that?" Joker asked. He wanted to ask first about why does she help him escaping. But after hearing a lot of footsteps coming their way he decided to hold it for later.
Veronica's smirked grew larger. She pointed to a window above her head "By this."
The window she was pointing is not so big, yet not so small either. It is the perfect fit for them, especially Joker.
Vernon pushed a big box toward the window as she moved away. She walked toward Joker and patted his small head.
"It worked. But a false potion," she laughed at herself.
Joker huffed his puffy cheeks and pursed his cheeks "You better fix this!"
"Don't worry! I will, kid."
"I'm not a kid."
"I'm few years older than your actual age."
"..."
Smile happily that she had won the conversation, she spun her heels and looked at her brother "Can go?"
Vernon, who was standing at the big box and looked outside the open window - that he just punched to open it - nodded. He climbed to the window and not any warning been told, he jumped.
Joker at first didn't react to it at all, thinking they were in a small building. But too bad, he was wrong. He realized that when the scientist picked him and pushed him out from the window like he was nothing.
Fortunately, Vernon - who had reached the ground safely - caught him.
Joker swear he almost had a heart attack.
The dark grey hair boy set him to the ground gently before ready himself to catch his sister. Like Joker expected, the sister jumped out from the window and fall into his brother's arms.
'....he manage to catched her even tho the high where she jumped. Not to mention she seem taller than him so she must be a bit heavier than himself. This boy's strength is unpredictable.'
The silver hair only watched as the scientist cheered for the scary fall. Her brother put her down and turned around before ran toward some direction.
"Where are we going?" Joker asked as he been picked up again by her.
"To my sweet motorcycle!" she said, followed her brother.
They had reached to black motorcycle that were hid between two buildings. Veronica passed the small boy to her brother before take out a key from her coat and sat on the vehicle. With just one try, the black vehicle turned on.
Joker who was being carried by the brother, was placed on his laps while Vernon sat on the motorcycle behind his sister. His sit position was just like Rose's when she ride motorcycle with Cyan.
"Why are you sitting like that?" he voice out his thought.
"...it easier this way," he replied, not bothered by his reaction.
"Well, here we go."
The motorcycle moving fast, Joker thought that he almost fell if it isn't thanks to Vernon who hold him tight.
Veronica used the back path to escaped, which was a smart move since the guards were moving at the front.
She manage somehow to passed the building where Joker was being held without facing anything bad. Well she did faced a few guards but she just randomly hit them with her motorcycle.
Joker missed his Road Joker.
"So, miracle maker," the mad scientist called after arriving to the highway "Where shall we go?!"
"Before that, where are we?!" Joker had to volume up his voice due to them moving so fast.
"Japan," Vernon answered.
"...."
"...."
"...."
"YOU KIDNAPPED ME AND BRING ME TO JAPAN?!!"
"I'M SORRY OKAY?!"
