AN: This is a random one shot I got the idea for last night while I was watching X Factor. I wondered what would happen if one of the judges went missing. This is what I think would happen. Please read and review! Thanks guys.

Twenty minutes until showtime

It was just like any other morning on set of the "X Factor," Demi, Kelly, Simon and Paulina were in their dressing rooms, getting ready for the show. Thirty anxious contestants waited backstage, trembling with nerves. One such contestant was fifty one year old Janine Parks. Janine had been singing since she was twenty three. More importantly, Janine wanted to meet Simon Cowell. She was obsessed with him. She watched four seasons of Brittain's got talent and watched all of his performances on American Idol.

"Simon, you are so superficial!" As per usual, the annoying bickering of Demi and Simon could be heard throughout the set.

"All I heard was Simon, you are so super!" Simon had a clever comeback, as usual. Demi and Simon parted ways for makeup and hair. The show was starting in ten minutes.

That was the last time anyone saw Simon.

Fifteen minutes until showtime

"Kelly, call Simon will you? He needs his hair done before we go on" The hairdresser called

"Hey, Dem, have you seen Simon? He's not in his dressing room?" Kelly called

"No, haven't seen him" Demi frowned, worried "Paulina, have you seen Simon?"

Fourteen minutes until showtime

"No I haven't" Paulina answered, "Maybe you should try calling him on his cell?"

Demi picked up her phone and scrolled down her contacts list to Simon's number. She put the phone on speaker and all three female judges crowded around to hear. The phone rang three times, but it picked up on the fourth. There was a lot of scuffling going on in the background and Simon's voice could be heard saying

"Hey! Where are you taking me? I have a show in a few minutes! Ow...not the hair!"

The three judges looked at each other, shocked. What was happening to Simon?

"Simon? SIMON! Are you there?" Kelly shouted into the phone, to which a feminine voice could be heard saying

"Who is that? Simon do you have your phone! AARGH!" The sound of slapping and kicking could be heard and Simon grunting in pain was also heard.

Twelve Minutes until showtime

"Guys, what are we gonna do! We have twelve minutes to find Simon! He could be anywhere and by the likes of it, he's getting hurt!"

"If you were obsessed with Simon and you were a kidnapper where would you take him?" Demi mused.

"Well" Paulina replied thoughtfully, "I would take him to the contestant's dressing rooms"

"Paulina, you're brilliant!" The three women rushed to the contestant holding area and back into the private rooms designated for contestant use. They heard no noises, but the occasional breath or sigh coming from a few rooms.

"Demi!" Kelly whispered "Can't you track the kidnapper's phone? You have their number"

Ten minutes until showtime

The tracking app showed the kidnapper was currently crossing the street outside of the X Factor set. Five minutes later, Kelly, Demi and Paulina were outside the building and looked around.

"There!" Kelly pointed at a figure in black driving a black chevy. In the back there was a dark figure that looked like it had a gag and ropes on. The three tailed the car all the way to 44th street and followed the figure inside a building. The figure took Simon inside a room and locked the door. The three women pressed their ears against the door to hear what the kidnapper was saying.

Nine minutes until showtime

Demi's phone began to vibrate and she stepped away to answer it.

"Demi, where are you guys! You have a full audience of teenage girls who expect to see you all onstage in nine minutes!"

"Mark" Demi said, speaking to the producer "Simon's been kidnapped. We followed whoever it is all the way past 44th street and we are outside the room where he is being held"

"Oh my god" Mark gasped "We've already got police cars on the way. You three try to get him out but stay safe"

"Got it"

Demi and Kelly pressed their ears to the door, while Paulina stood guard, watching. The police cars waited outside. Demi heard the female saying

"Finally, Simon, I get to meet you. Now, it's a shame it had to be this way!"

Eight minutes until showtime

"Hey...um...I've got a show to get to and a favorite singer to insult, so if you'd just…"

Paulina and Kelly sniggered into their sleeves, while Demi stood there shocked.

"I'm his…favorite? Simon's FAVORITE SINGER! What? Is this a dream...how bout I pinch myself...OWWWW... Not a dream. Dang. Oh wait...Simon's being kidnapped. Think, Demi, think. What can you do?" She thought

Seven minutes until showtime

"Alright, Simon boo, you've got two choices, first, take off your shirt or second, I'll take it off for you. And I've got a camera. I might just leak this to the press if you don't cooperate. And I majored in media and video editing, so I can make you look really bad" The voice said from inside the room

"Oh no, not today she doesn't!" Demi says, loudly.

"Shhhhhhhh!" The other two warn

"I don't care! Mark and the others aren't here, so it's up to us!" She said, louder

"Who's outside?" the voice opened up the door and immediately was grabbed by Kelly, tied up by Paulina (with a hair ribbon), and Demi raced in to untie Simon.

"You...you little...fat..person..." The girl on the floor said to Demi

"I'd stop talking now if I were you!" Demi said, looking down, "Because I REALLY DONT CARE"

Thinking to herself, she thought that would be a really cool sing title. Then, mentally slapping herself, she remembered that they had 6 minutes to get to the show.

Six minutes until showtime

Dang it.
