Loving these reviews! Thank you to all my loyal readers! Sorry this chapters really short, and that I haven't updated in ages, but I've bin really busy and I had major writers block. I wrote a couple of fill in one shots for TMNT if anyone's interested by the way. Sorry again for the shortness.

She pushed her way through the crowd until she got a clear view of the front doors. She nearly fainted. There was her boy, her only boy, with a gun to his head, blood covering his face and his eyes were now open and the only thing filling them was terror.

"No!" she shrieked.

"Mom!" yelled Troy back. But that was a bad thing to do. Very bad.

In a flash, the man had lowered the gun and shot Troy in the leg. A blood-curdling scream rang out.

From her boy. Her baby boy.

The Escape Plan.

Pain. Fresh, white-hot pain. It tore through him, twisting and turning in his body, causing him to writhe and yell. He could feel a hot stickiness dripping from his leg and splashing onto the floor. It was like nothing he had ever felt. The pain seared and screamed in him body. His vision had gone blurry and white spots once again erupted in his head. Even when he had broken his arm, this pain was 10 fold. It was so bad; he couldn't find the right words to describe it. A cold shiver went up his spine. And then, Troy couldn't stand it and gracefully welcomed the darkness that a few seconds later, he fell straight into.

"What did I tell you?"

Hannah Bolton stood with her hand against her mouth, tears freely making their way down her cheeks.

"Please let him go" she whispered.

"Now, I think we should be able to come to an agreement. Don't you?" His voice was deep and gravely. Hannah felt sure she had heard it before. A sob escaped her lips.

"Oh god" Chad whispered. He had just heard a bang. Like a gun. No, wait, it couldn't have been a gun because, that would mean... NO! It couldn't mean that.

Could it?

Had Troy been... shot?

No.

NO!

Damn.

He had, hadn't he?

Gabriella screamed and fell to her knees sobbing.

"Troy..." she whispered, her voice trailing away. "TROY!!!"

"Shut up" a drawling voice said angrily.

Gabriella whimpered and put her head on Chad's shoulder.

"We've gotta get out of here" he muttered quietly. "Gaby, can you distract him?"

She nodded.

"Good. Wait for the signal." He paused, holding his breath and looking at the clock. The man had his back towards them at the minute. Chad looked at Gaby, then at Taylor. He nodded to Gaby and she walked forwards.

"Um. Excuse me?" she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

"What?"

"Why are you doing this?"

Chad ran forward, trying to be as quiet as he could and then jumped onto the back of the man. He wrapped his arms around the mans neck and put his feet on the ground, making the man have to bend back

"What the f-!" he gasped.

Chad, being a member of the basketball team, was able to fling the guy over his head, and let go when he was over.

The man flew to the ground and collapsed in a heap. There he lay still.

"Come on" Chad yelled to the others. They ran out of the door and down the corridor.

-:0:-

"What? Don't you want this smart-mouth to live?" he said into the silence.

He threw Troy onto the floor, where his head made a sickening crack. Then he laughed.

"I'll take that as a no then." He pointed the gun to the back of Troy's head.

"Stop!" yelled Hannah Bolton. "Please! Don't hurt him!" A silence followed. The man cocked his head sideways.

"Hannah Bolton"

Then he said it.

"Long time, no see"

"Come on guys!" Chad shouted as they sprinted along. Sharpay was breathing hard and clutching her side. Taylor was along-side Sharpay. But Gaby was ahead of all of them. She had zoomed past Chad, and kept up a steady pace. They sped past the deserted canteen, and saw trays of food and drink all over the place.

Suddenly a loud scream rang out. Chad's gut twisted itself into knots. It was Troy. His heart nearly leapt out of his chest at what he saw next...
