Summary
At Eden Academy, the teachers learn about the hijacking of two of their buses. Henry Henderson asks if they alerted the police, which one of the teachers confirms. Henry says he will inform the principal about the situation and ask the teachers to prevent this news from reaching the other students or the media.

On the bus, Billy Squire walks through the bus with a shotgun in hand, frightening the children as they start thinking about how scared they are and that they want this to end. Their thoughts overwhelm Anya, which worries Becky as she tries to comfort her. Damian also notices this, but before he can do anything, Bill gets up and tells his classmates to calm down. He reminds them that their parents are important people and that help is on the way. Billy points his rifle at Bill and tells him to be quiet, and the boy quickly shrinks to his seat. Regardless, Bill's words manage to calm the kids and their thoughts, making Anya feel better.

Billy begins to say that everyone knows how important the children's parents are and calls out children from influential families. He tells the students why they have been taken hostage: to use their lives to negotiate with the government. If they comply with his demands, the children will return home alive and unharmed. He menacingly tells them to pray that their parents will use their power to save them. Anya listens quietly, thinking about her Yor and Loid. At a WISE Safe House, the WISE Agent informs Sylvia about the bus hijacking and asks her if they will do anything. The Handler at first refuses because it is the work of local police, but upon learning that Damian and Anya are among the hostages, she gives the order that they will help from the shadows. The agent asks if they should call Twilight, but Sylvia declines because he is out on another mission.

Back on the bus, the students wonder where they are going and what they should do. Anya decides to read the Red Circus members' minds to see if she can get an idea of where they are going. Anya shouts out that she needs to go to the bathroom and will not be able to hold it in any longer. Billy tells her to hold on while another member thinks about their destination: Papier Palace Park. Hearing this with her telepathy, Anya tells Becky about this. Becky is shocked and asks Anya how she knows this. After Anya lies that she read their lips, they plan to send a message to the people outside.

They decide to write a note and throw it out the window. Anya tries writing it, but it is illegible, so Becky writes it for her. After adding her student I.D. and family S.O.S. code to the note, Becky puts it in her candy tin container. Damian notices this and throws them a letter, asking what the girls are planning, and warns them not to do anything reckless or else they will get killed. Anya throws back a reply telling him their plan, but it is once again illegible, so Becky writes it again and throws it at him. Damian decides to make a distraction to give them an opening, which he does by walking up to Billy and proclaiming that he needs to poo. The girls take advantage of the situation and throw the container out the window, which attracts the attention of some people who find out about their predicament. Billy notices what Becky and Anya did, so he angrily grabs a device and puts it around Anya's neck. Billy then reveals to the children that it is a bomb and warns that if anyone tries to act against them, he will blow it up along with Anya.
