"Hey guys, have you heard from Stella or Macy?" I asked my brothers worried.
"Nick they are having their girls' weekend remember." Kevin said
"Yea I know but Macy said she would call me tonight just so I can make sure she was okay but when she didn't I called her and it went right to voicemail. I've called three times and she didn't answer, so I called Stella and she didn't answer either." I asked worried.
"Nick, Macy is your girlfriend, you probably did something that made her mad and she is ignoring you. Stella does it to me all the time. Now, just calm down and let her cool off." Joe said.
"No I didn't do anything. I talked to her earlier today and everything was great." I said really starting to worry. "Look I just have this feeling in my gut that something isn't right."
Kevin and Joe looked up at me confused but Joe said "Look, if it will make you feel better I will call Stella on speaker phone and see what is going on."
"That would be great." I sighed.
Joe was about to call Stella when suddenly all three of our phones beeped with a text message from Stella with a link to a website and a short message "Really important go to website and watch video now!" we all looked at each other exchanging confused looks.
Kevin grabbed his laptop and typed in the website. Joe and I sat on either side of him looking at the computer as well. Suddenly the page loaded with the words "Revenge against Jonas" at the top.
My brothers and I were extremely confused as to why Stella had wanted us to look at this website until the video began to play. A couple guys were standing in front of a house looking at the camera. "Phase one begins!" one said before they all turned towards the house.
I froze knowing exactly where they were "That is Macy's house." I whispered to my brothers causing them to gasp.
We watched as the guys approached the front door "Ha, they even left the door open. This is too easy." One said. We watched panicked as they opened the screen door and walked right into Macy's house. My brothers and I all grabbed our phones hoping this video was live and wanting to warn the girls but as we were about to dial words lit up the screen saying "Don't even try to warn them, this video is NOT live. It is too late."
"DAD!" Joe yelled at the top of his lungs panicked. Our mom and dad came running into the room worried.
"What! What's wrong? Who's hurt?" Dad panted.
"Come watch this it's important." Kevin said just as panicked. Mom and Dad stood behind us and watched the video with us. We all watched as the guys walked down Macy's hallway silently towards the sound of the TV. They snuck the camera around the door showing us Macy and Stella sitting on the couch in their pajamas watching a Tom Hanks movie. Suddenly the floor creaked and the girls froze while the person with the camera pulled back so they wouldn't see him.
"I.'s probably just the boys checking up on us." Macy said nervously. "I gave Nick a key to the house in case I lost mine." I couldn't help but let a few tears slide down my face wishing that it was me instead of those creeps.
"Y..Y..Yea, it's just the boys. Joe, Nick, and Kevin are always taking care of us." Stella said but neither of them moved. My brothers and I were all crying wishing that we had done something sooner to take care of them.
The camera slid around the door silently, avoiding the squeaky floorboard. We watched as two men crawled along the floor behind the couch with rags in their hands. They looked back at the camera counting to three with their fingers before suddenly popping up and grabbing Stella and Macy holding the rags over their mouths and noses. We watched as the two most important girls in our lives struggled and screamed as the camera came in front of them showing us their horrified eyes until they slowly lost consciousness. As soon as the girls went limp the guys all cheered. Two other men came around the corner and helped the men with the rags carry Stella and Macy out. The guy with the camera followed while saying. "Joe, Nick, and Kevin Lucas, you can consider this tape a ransom video. We will be back at midnight with live feed of the girls." The video ended with a shot of the two of them having their wrists tied with a rope before being thrown into the back of a van carelessly. They were laying their like lifeless corpses. I couldn't watch anymore so I just looked away.
My mother was sobbing into Dad's shoulder, who also had tears in his eyes. Joe and Kevin sat there staring into space with tears in their eyes not knowing what to do.
I pulled my wallet out of my back pocket and quickly pulled out my favorite picture of Macy and me. It was taken on our one month anniversary. I had taken her to a Yankees baseball game. I was holding the camera out at arm's length to take a picture of the two of us together. Macy was looking right into the camera but I had turned and kissed her cheek right before I took the picture causing her to scrunch up her face adorably and giggle. I sat there staring at the picture crying wishing I had my Macy back in my arms.
"Come on boys lets go." Dad said softly.
"Where?" Joe asked in a monotone.
"We are going to the police station and reporting their kidnap. It is 11:30, so we have half an hour before the live feed. Kevin bring your laptop." With that said Dad walked down the stairs with Mom and right out the door to the car. My brothers and I all followed. Kevin was thinking straight enough to detour into Frankie's room and lift him out of his bed without waking him and carried him out the door with us.
