An Electrifying Duo

## Preface

Venice Milana, having been filming his next big film at the studio, finds himself in a predicament when his boyfriend, Saron Harriden, disrupts the whole set and kidnaps him to bring him to a location that he is unfamiliar with. While trying to find a way out while waiting for rescue he contacts, Venice finds himself meeting a new little friend, that begs him to be free of her imprisonment.

When Saron pushes Venice into the nearest chair, Venice cries out in pain when his back roughly connects with the hard cushion, his own expression fearful when his boyfriend leans over him, their faces mere inches from each other.

"Clearly I can't trust you given that you have been ignoring my texts, and returning home late. You're cheating on me, aren't you?" Saron snarls.

"Wh-what? N. . .no. I've just had a busy schedule and it changes. . ." Venice stutters, feeling his heart beating hard against his ribcage from anxiety. "Saron. . .kidnapping me off the set during my shoot and trapping me here will only make things worse for you. . ."

Saron roughly grabs Venice's chin, causing the young actor to wince as he looks to his lover painfully. Saron's glare is cold, a growl escaping his lips as he lets Venice go, heading to the door.

"Don't think I believe you for one second Venice." Saron spits, looking over his shoulder. "You're to stay here until the final preparations are made. I'm taking you to Sinnoh with me. Don't bother trying to escape either. You'll never find your way out of a large base like this. I will be back for you later."

The door slams behind him, Venice cringing at the sound. Saron was always a hothead, but lately, he noticed that his lover's obsession has grown worse in recent weeks. There was something big being planned as far as Venice could tell, and the thought of what was to come fills the pit of his stomach with dread.

He had to get out of here. If he could get some form of help while trying to find his way out of an unknown place, then he would at least feel some form of hope for safety. Venice reaches inside the secret pocket in his jacket, fishing out his phone. Saron always did forget to check for inner pockets, and, whenever he was home, it was the safest place to keep it so Saron couldn't invade his privacy. He could remember those times where Saron would tear the whole apartment apart, not having luck finding Venice's phone anywhere, and the thought makes the young actor smile a bit.

He looks down at his screen, scrolling through his contacts, Venice's expression turning worried. Who would he even call first? His parents were working, and his director wouldn't be able to help him. . .

Venice stops at the bottom of his contact list, biting the bottom of his lip as he dials the number after hitting "send". Anxiously, he starts to pace back and forth as it rings, sighing in relief however when he hears someone pick up.

"Zeph. . .thank god you picked up." Venice says, choking back tears.

"Ven?! I'm glad you're alright! Where did you go? Are you okay?!" Zephyr answers, his tone filled with worry.

"Saron smoke bombed the whole place and snagged me off set. I'm okay but. . ." Venice says shakily, looking around the room. "I. . .I don't really know where I am. I think I might be at one of the bases that he works at."

Venice can hear his brother's voice in the background for a moment, a sigh escaping Zephyr's own lips to where Venice bites his lip nervously. "Your brother wants to know if you can activate the tracking on your watch. He can't get enough of a read on where you are with just your phone." Zephyr says, his tone reassuring to where Venice relaxes a bit. "Wherever this place is, it must be pretty far. . ."

"Yeah. . .yeah I can do that." Venice answers quietly, tucking the phone between his right ear and shoulder for a moment in order to press one of the buttons on the side of his watch. When a yellow light turns on, he smiles a bit when he hears Zephyr's sigh of relief. "Did it work Zeph?"

"Yeah, it did according to Xander." Zephyr answers. "So Xan, where is he?"

"Yeah. . .he's all the way on Route 18 past Nuvema Town." Venice can hear his brother answer. "How in the hell did they manage to fly there that fast. . .?"

"That far? Damn. . .Then we better get a move on then." Zephyr sighs. "Ven, hang right alright? See if you can figure a way out. We'll be there soon okay?"

((More to come. Stay tuned!))
