"You could say that," Gerald said, amused, though inwardly he was not happy. How Vlad had found his way here he wasn't sure, but... "Come on in." He stepped aside to let him into the apartment.
"Hi, Vlad!" Franco called, from his 'hostage' position on the couch. He was presently watching television, slurking from a slushie cup, and looking about as serene as a Sunday school teacher in church.
"I'm kidnapped!" Franco announced cheerfully. "They have pizza and slushies, their couch is comfy, they have cable, and I don't have to work. Best kidnapping ever. And if I called, I'd have to go back to work, anyhow."
"Talk about what things?" Vladamir asked. He considered the situation - Franco did indeed seem unharmed. In fact, he looked rather happy being fed pizza and slushies. The couch was comfortable, and the television was on. A game system was nearby, and a cat, that was currently batting at his shoelaces.
"Hm, well, I suppose I'll take a piece," he said, settling back onto the comfortable couch. "Though really, I don't condone this whole kidnapping business."
Vladamir settled his arm around Franco, then took a bite of the pizza Tamara had just handed him.
"Mmmmrhhhh," he said, pleasantly surprised by how good it was. "Well, I suppose it is better than working. And we are helping Gerald with something-or-another about his ninja powers, right? So it's for a good cause."
If it made Franco happy, then why the hell not? He was just relieved to be with his love again. "Consider me your second hostage, then. Do you have ransom demands or anything? We could come up with a list..."
"Well, it's not exactly the ransom sort of kidnapping," Tamara explained. She handed pizza to Franco and Gerald.
"We're just trying to figure out what's in the serum that they're injecting Gerald with, the stuff that's keeping him alive. He gets sick when he doesn't have it for too long, and I'm worried..."

"Here we go - more pizza, with the pepperoni extra crispy this time. Would you like a piece too?" she asked Vlad.

He kicked off his shoes.
