Chapter 1: Two years earlier
It was Halloween night best friends Kendall Knight, James Diamond, Carlos Garcia and Logan Mitchel stood in the neighborhood wearing their costumes. Kendall was dressed as a hockey player, James was a pop star, Carlos was superhero and Logan was of course a doctor.
The four friends had been convinced by Mrs. Knight to go tricker treating for Katie who had gotten sick that day and was not aloud to go. The four boys greatly accepted. Now they were creating a plan on how to do this. "How about we split up?" Kendall suggested.
"That could work" Logan said. "So, how about Kendall and Carlos be one team and Logie you and I can be on one team" James said. "I don't see the problem in that" Carlos said. "Kendall?" James asked looking over at his friends. Kendall shrugged. "I don't care as long as Logan's fine with it" Kendall said. "I'm cool" Logan said.
"Alright, let's split up and get as much candy as you can Mom said we can split it all between the five of us" Kendall said. "Got it" James and Logan said. "Okay meet back here at ten" Kendall said. "Ten" Logan said remembering it. "Let's go" James said grabbing Logan as Carlos grabbed Kendall.
The pairs went their separate ways. James and Logan walked down the street there block was just two blocks away. "Are things going okay at Kendall's?" James asked.
About a month ago Logan was adopted by Mrs. Knight after his Mother was killed in a car accident. He's been living with Kendall, Katie, and Mrs. Knight for a month now.
"Everything's great at Kendall's it's not like we haven't stayed there before" Logan said. "Yeah but it's different Mamma Knight is your mom now and your all family" James said. "It's been fine James I'm just glad I have someone" Logan said. "You know Logie even if Mamma Knight hadn't been able to adopt you Carlos's parents or my Mom would have" James said.
"I know James it's just still hard to think if I didn't have you guys I'd be in a foster home right now" Logan said. "Well that will never happen" James said. Logan smiled. "Thanks Jay" Logan said. "Of course" James said. They continued walking down the street a few minutes in silence.
They hadn't been focused what was going behind them so what they didn't know was a van had been following them for about a block now. Logan turned looking at the van. "James I think we're being followed" Logan said. James looked behind them. "I'm sure that's just a parent going along with their kid" James said. "I don't know..." Logan said uneasy of the situation. "Logie will be fine" James said. Logan nodded and moved closer to James who ended up triping on his shoelace. Logan tried catching him but James fell forward.
"Ow" James said his hand hitting the cement. "James are you okay?" Logan asked. "I think I'm okay...I tripped on my shoelace I'll just tie it" James said. Logan nodded James went to tie his shoes. "Ugh I can't see...Logan your in my light" James said. "Oh I'm sorry" Logan said stepping away so that James could see. "Thanks" James said.
Just then the van that had been following them pulls up a man steps out from behind Logan and grabs him wrapping his arm around Logan who squeaked. "James!" Logan cried as he fought against the mans grip. "Logan!" James sprung up and tried grabbing Logan but the guys fought him off as he dragged Logan to the car. James ran to Logan trying to get the man away from him as he put Logan in the car.
The man tried pushing him away but James wouldn't move. He kept trying to get his best friend. But every attempt failed his last attempt to get Logan was cut off by the man swinging his arm around and hitting James so hard he fell to the ground smacking his head on the cement the last thing he saw in blurry vision was the man running to the front seat and driving off. James tried to open his mouth to yell but nothing came out the only thing he could do was close his eyes and watch everything go black.
James heard the sound of beeping. His eyes slowly fluttering open. Why did his head hurt so much? Where was he? "Guys he's waking up!" Carlos's voice rang in his head. "James? Can wake up for us" Kendall. I groaned opening my eyes. I moved my head back and forth I saw Kendall and Carlos sitting right next to him Katie was asleep in the chair next to Kendall.
"What...What happened?"James asked rubbing his head feeling the gauze. "You fell hit your head" Kendall answered. James blinked his mind became more clear and he started to remember what happened. "Logan...the guy...the car...where's Logan is he okay?" James asked panicked. James looked at Kendall who had started crying the minute that he heard Logan's name.
"James he's gone...Logan's gone" Kendall said. James's face fell and he completely broke they all completely broke.
