Molly paced around her locker room. She had just been outwitted by Raven's 'woman'! Molly suddenly stopped herself. 'He told me he didn't have a woman...YET!!' She cringed at the memory. 'Golly, how could he even imply that I'd ever hang around him longer than necessary let alone go out with him? What in the world is he up to?' Molly thought as she suddenly stopped pacing the room. There was a bunch of sounds coming from down the hall, or rather a bunch of muffled ones, and they were coming closer to the door. 'What in the world?' Molly wondered as she tiptoed closer to the door. Now she could actually here what the people outside were saying. "You sure no one will find us?" "Sure I'm sure! They won't even know what happened. No one! No even her cousins." At this last statement Molly jumped back from the door in alarm. She recognized the second voice. Raven. Molly decided if they were going to do anything, she might as well make it look totally innocent. She walked back to the big black leather couch and sat down turning on the television. As soon as the television flipped on, the dreaded knocking started on the door. Molly jumped up a mile high as she nervously walked to the door opening it. She didn't see anything else though because she was hit over the head with a trash can, knocking her out.

"Not in here!" a voice came from inside the locker room. "Keep looking, Crash. Molly doesn't just leave and run off somewhere without telling anyone." A second voice said from the doorway. Crash and Hardcore (Bob) Holly had been looking for their cousin Molly for the past half hour, but to no avail. Crash ventured further into the room and noticed something he hadn't before. "Cousin, you had better come and look at this!" Crash hollered at Bob holding up a small slip of paper. Bob ran over and grabbed it from Crash, and proceeded to read it. "It's a ransom note." Hardcore stated. "Cousin, you mean Molly's been..." "Kidnapped. Looks like it to me." "Will she be ok?" "I hope so. Don't worry, Crash, we'll survive and so will she. We're Hollys." Bob said not believing it himself. Crash sat down on the big leather couch. "I wonder who did it." Bob stood where he was thinking for a moment. "Crash, do you remember what Raven said to Molly earlier?" "Yeah, why?" Crash asked. "I'll bet it was Raven." Hardcore accused. "But cousin, he's gone. Raven has left the building!" Crash replied frantically. "You never know, Crash. You never know."

Molly slowly woke up only to see... nothing. She slowly realized that she was tied to a chair and that it was freezing cold. Molly also supposed, since she couldn't see anything, that she had a blindfold on. Molly was scared. She didn't know where she was and because of the trash can blow to the head she was starting to slip into unconsciousness. As Molly stared to pass out, she was suddenly jerked awake by the sound of an opening door. As the blindfold was taken off, it took a few moments for her eyes to adjust to the new light. It hurt. "Wow, I thought you'd never wake up, Molly!" the person behind her spoke. Molly instantly recognized the voice. "Raven. What do you want you big bully?" Raven walked around to the front of the chair Molly was being held captive in. "What do I want? Molly, Molly, Molly, I thought you would've figured that out by now." He taunted. Molly sneered at him. "Sorry I didn't catch on, you big mean California Raisin!" Raven laughed out loud at that. "'Big mean California Raisin'... Molly. Dear you slash me with your words. Now I definitely know your family is messed up." Molly frowned angrily. "Shut up! What do you want?" she asked again. Raven paused for a few moments before speaking. "YOU." Molly was shocked. "Me?! What could you possibly want with me?" she asked. Raven smiled. "It's simple really. You're hot. You turn me on." "TOO MUCH information!!!!" Raven grinned even wider. "If you ever want out of here, I suggest you be nice." Molly glanced around. "Where am I anyway?" Raven laughed. "I can't tell you that. What do you take me for, Molly...an idiot?" "No comment." "Really, again I'm slashed by your words, Molly. You're gonna make me cry." "When my cousins find out, you're going to get yours!" Raven chuckled softly. "What are they gonna do, farm-girl? Beat me up?" "Precisely." "I doubt it. I'll be back." "Is that a THREAT?" "It's a promise." "Dang!" Molly said before she was hit over the head again, sending her into another blackout. Raven walked back up the stairs locking the door behind him
