Sorry for the delay guys! Been busy!
Last part coming in the morning, already written just need to proof read it.
As Woody was carried upstairs he became aware that Josh's grip wasn't that un-similar to the hold Andy had on him a little while ago. Josh and him were related somehow, he knew that much from talking to the toys in Andy's bedroom, maybe they shared more than just family ties though, maybe Josh was just lost and trying to find his way and that's what made him the way he was all of sudden when he got bored of Buzz.
Woody watched him slam the door shut; he looked around gently and saw Buzz lying presumably where Josh had chucked him down. "You look like Andy's Woody doll, where did you come from?" Josh curiously began poking and pulling Woody, he wasn't comfortable with it, but Woody had no choice, he wasn't ready for the Sid treatment just yet.
"Well hello there Woody my name is Josh and I will play with you!" Josh said very strangely. He then began to bound Woody around the room, purposely crashing him into things. Woody wondered why the young man wasn't in bed, it was nigh on three in the morning and he was still raring to go.
Whilst bounding around the room, Josh kicked Buzz by accident and the thought came to him that it would be funny to tie Buzz and Woody together, back to back by the hands.
Without much concern, Buzz's arm was forced back into it's original normality, moved behind his back and stringy rope was tied all around them, waist and wrists up to their chests. Running over to his toy box he grabbed a toy gun that shot pegs with orange tips on. Josh began frantically firing them off at Woody and Buzz, laughing and joking the whole time, Woody couldn't help but worry that this kid was seriously messed up. If the man downstairs was his father then what little did he have to go off?
"Josh you have a friend here!" His mother called up the stairs. Woody thought that must have been the lady from the house the toys were talking about, she sounded very similar to Andy's mom, so much so Woody had to think for a moment.
"What?" Josh called, finally leaving Woody and Buzz alone as he raced out of the door and down the stairs…
When the door slammed shut, Woody waited a second before leaning back against Buzz.
"Buzz!" He smiled, his hands were bound with the space rangers and he gripped them tightly.
"Woody! What are you doing here?" Buzz asked excitedly, he too gripped Woody's hands their fingers interlacing in between their backs.
"Coming to rescue you! You didn't think I'd leave old Buzz Lightyear out here alone did ya?" Woody leant his head back against Buzz's shoulder. Buzz leant his back against Woody's and they managed to catch a small glimpse of the others happiness before neck strain took hold.
"Woody I didn't think anyone was coming, I thought I was stuck here forever." Buzz sounded a bit rejected but Woody gave his neck a soft kiss as best he could in this position.
"I would never leave you here." Woody went on to explain what had happened since he got back.
"Andy's here…He wanted to rescue you, he just got up and climbed out of that bedroom window, but he got caught by this kid's dad down in the yard and…"
"What!" Buzz cut in and started struggling. "We have to get free now!"
"Buzz!" Woody panicked as Buzz literally was about tearing his arms off in all the shuffling. "Buzz wait, hey, Buzz!" Woody grabbed his hands so tightly and held them palm down to the floor between their backs.
"Buzz what's wrong!" He almost shouted.
"Everything. This kid is worse than Sid, his father's completely crazy and this kid can go from being playtime Billy to Mr. Hyde in two seconds flat, why do you think I haven't come home yet? I tried to! But every time I got near an escape this kid had some sort of weird booby-trap hidden in the house, I almost died twice!"
"Oh my god…" Woody fell back against his back.
"Well I survived that's the important thing; try not to beat yourself up about it…"
"No, Buzz, Mr. Potatohead, Bo and Hamm are in the house looking for Andy!"
"What?" This time both Buzz and Woody fidgeted, luckily this kid Josh wasn't much of rope tying artist and they came free after a few moments, standing up and dropping the ropes, Woody turned to look at Buzz.
"I think I saw Andy in the kitchen when we were coming up the stairs back then. Hopefully the guys won't be too far away, we should head there."
"Agreed." Buzz said and Woody turned towards the door to run to it, but Buzz stopped him, turning him back to him and kissing him passionately, his arms wrapping around Woody protectively, pushing his hips into Woody's his hands roaming down to them. After a long moment of passionate kissing, Woody felt his legs go weak, as he melted like butter in his lovers arms.
Buzz slowly pulled away and rested his forehead against Woody's. They stayed like that for a long moment, the other content at listening to the other's breathing. "Did you have a good time?" Buzz whispered.
"It was swell." Woody smiled gently.
"Shall we?"
"Whenever you're ready." Almost immediately they both turned and continued towards the door. Just their luck it was shut. As they reached it, Woody turned to Buzz pointing over to a bit of rope. "Grab it, we'll tie it to the door handle and jar it down."
"Got it." Buzz said and ran off towards it; Woody clambered up on top of a box, waiting for Buzz. Buzz wasn't two seconds though, he grabbed the rope and ran back over to Woody, handing him it.
"Woody let me go…" Buzz asked, Woody shook his head.
"I've done this before Buzz."
"I've towered mountains before in photos but that doesn't mean I can open a door all by myself."
"Buzz, shut up and catch the rope." Woody climbed and climbed until he was just under the door handle. "By the way…" Woody shouted. "Who's the cowboy in this relationship?" Before Buzz could answer Woody was swinging the loop in the rope over his head, swinging it up with thrust he only just caught the handle, thankfully because he wasn't giving out seconds anymore.
He dived off the top of the box, hanging on to the other end of the rope as he fell, Buzz just happened to dive out of the way at the last second though as the door flung open, Woody was thrown across the room with such force he went tumbling through boxes under Josh's desk, he landed with his back against the grate for the air con vent, though as he did it fell through and he went tumbling down through the vent his voice becoming further and further away.
"Woody!" Buzz shouted, getting up and ploughing through the boxes, tearing them out of the way and looking as far down the vent as he could.
"Woody!" His voice echoed through it and Buzz suddenly turned when he heard noises coming up the stairs.
"Oh no Josh, he heard."
"Buzz!"
"Woody?"
"Buzz get going!"
"Woody where are you I'll help get you out!"
"Buzz I'm…I'm going down through here…I'll err, meet you in the kitchen!" Woody was lying through the back of his teeth, he was stuck; he knew saving Andy and the others was more important.
"Woody I won't leave you, I'm coming down."
"Buzz listen to me, Andy's in trouble, this is your only chance."
"What do you mean Andy's in trouble? You said he was with this Josh's dad and he was okay?"
"Buzz I can see Andy from here, he's in the kitchen and their tying him to a chair!" Suddenly there was a loud clasp of thunder outside; the rain was so hard it was banging off the windows. The noise reverberated so loud through the vent Woody and Buzz could barely hear each other.
"Get Andy NOW!" Woody screamed as loud as he could, Buzz stared down the shaft, he couldn't see Woody, but he had to trust that Woody knew what he was doing, if he said Andy was in danger then he was and they both treasured Andy's life right now above anything. Buzz attempted to shout but the rain and thunder and lightning was banging and crashing so loud it was hard to.
Then it happened, the lights went out and everything went completely black. Buzz was still stood at the vent but he knew he couldn't any longer. He slammed his fists down on the edge of it before turning and running hard towards the door, luckily the blackout had turned Josh around to look down the hall and given him enough time to escape through the door Woody had opened.
He had no idea where he was going and knew until he found the stairs he couldn't do anything. With a little bit of luck Buzz came upon them fairly easily and he made his way down and away from Josh as quickly as possible, he heard Josh's door slam shut again and wondered whether Woody had made it out of the vent yet?
Turning a corner, Buzz made out a candle light at the end of the hall, he could hear muffled screams and a squeaky wooden chair rattling. He was just about to run down the hall when a hand grabbed his shoulder.
"Buzz!" Mr. Potatohead said.
"Mr. Head! Where's everybody else?"
"Hamm is in the kitchen, Bo is too."
"Why are you out here?"
"Look…" Mr. Potatohead pointed up towards the door, a rope just like Woody's was attached to the door handle, "Hamm is gonna roll the bowling ball off the top shelf and down on to this guys head, Bo's gonna trip him up, he'll fall head first in to the hall where we've set up that skateboard, he'll slip on that, I'll open the door and he'll go flying out head first into that bucket of water, then we can have some real fun." Mr. Potatohead laughed mischievously.
"Head, this no time for jokes, let's get Andy out of here."
"Where's Woody?"
"Good question, I hope he doesn't spook anything up in there, he went down a vent in Josh's room. I couldn't go after him so I came down the stairs…"
"I need to get into that kitchen; I'll work on untying Andy."
"Buzz! I have to give the signal when to begin…"
"Don't do it until I get in there!" Buzz hushed as he ran down the hall, avoiding objects Mr. Potatohead had placed just for the kicks.
"Oh Andy your such a naughty boy, running away from home and ending up here…Your mommy is sure gonna miss you…NOT." The older man laughed hysterically with his head back.
"Rick you let us go!" The woman cried, Buzz realized she too was a prisoner of this man's evil ways.
"Let YOU go, NEVER!" He slapped her full force across the cheek with the back of his hand, she almost passed out, and even Buzz winced at the sound. Andy had something in his mouth, like a rolled up piece of towel and he was muffling screams, he was terrified.
The man moved towards him and Buzz caught a glimpse of Bo under the kitchen table in the middle of the very small and shabby kitchen. He nodded to her and she tripped the man up, he hit his head on the ceiling light that wasn't on because the power had been knocked out.
"WHAT THE HELL!" He growled angrily, throwing his fist at it, it smashed against the ceiling sending shards of light bulb across the floor. Buzz ran and hid under Andy's chair, not waiting for the fireworks to stop but climbing the chair leg and trying to untie the knots.
Hamm got the signal from Mr. Potatohead to go and he did so, the ball rolled off the top and only caught the very back of the evil mans head, he moved around violently, heading towards the open kitchen door, Bo once again used the tightened rope to trip him up and he indeed fell forwards and out of the door, he stumbled, holding the back of his head in agony, his foot coming into contact with the skateboard as it flew down the hall wit him, Mr. Potatohead jumped and dived out the way as the door swung open letting the terrifying storm in and the horrible man out.
He went out with a lot of crashes and bangs before...Silence. In the kitchen Andy and the woman watched for a moment, before she looked to Andy.
"You shouldn't have come here…Andy we need to phone the police, can you do that?" He shook his head, her bounds had become loose and she threw the rope away from her.
Buzz had to dive out the way under the kitchen table, with Bo. "Signal Hamm to get down, NOW!" He almost growled at Bo as he watched the action with Andy and the woman. The woman undid his ties and Andy chucked the dirty cloth from his mouth. She immediately handed him the telephone.
"Ring the police Andy and then run, don't look back Andy just run as fast as you can away from here. Go home!"
"But I can't leave you and Josh…"
"Yes you can Andy…" There was a growl from the front door in the hall and everyone including Buzz, Hamm and Bo looked down there. "Buzz he's in the house!" Mr. Potatohead managed to cry out silently enough not to be heard but understood.
"Get Mr. Potatohead and all of you get out NOW!" Buzz said angrily and yet in control.
"What about you?" Bo asked, "Where's Woody?" Buzz shook his head.
"Do it now! I'll find Woody you guys take care of Andy!"
"Andy don't be afraid…" The woman said and bent down to his level hugging him, Andy had been so protected by his mom all of his life, he'd never ever been in this kind of situation before. "Ring the police and head for the door, once you're outside go home, don't look back Andy promise me you won't."
"I promise…" Andy said between tears, he was shaking as his fingers pushed the buttons, the woman ran off down the hall and up the stairs, she could hear footsteps following her and they all saw Rick running after her up the stairs as she made towards Josh's room.
Andy pressed the buttons horrified, a woman answered the phone, he told her briefly what was happening and the address and then hung up. Bo, Hamm and Mr. Potatohead were already outside, searching for Andy's backpack, unlucky for them it was over the other side of the gate.
Buzz watched Andy as he made his way down the hall gingerly. "Come on Andy, I'm with you buddy." Buzz said, but so silent that he wouldn't have heard him. Buzz was right behind him, ready to shout if anything serious was going to happen.
Before Andy could get to the door, a large blast of flames erupted from the living area to the right of the front door where the evil man had been hiding waiting for Josh's mom just moments before. The fire had caught hold of something explosive and knocked them backwards ten for two.
Buzz skidded and landed up back in the kitchen, Andy not a foot in front of him, he rubbed his eyes as he tried to get up, flames were everywhere, engulfing every part of the hall, the only way was back into the kitchen.
Buzz ran under the table, Andy ran in and slammed the door shut, looking around he moved towards the window, climbing up on top of the sink he began to try and open it, the flames were so hot and strong they were coming in through the cracks under and above the door. The smoke was filling the room and Andy began to cough violently.
Buzz looked to the vent where Woody was supposed to have been coming out, he had to just check, and he wouldn't leave the kitchen without checking. Climbing the open draws up to the table top, Buzz ran over to the vent but it was sealed shut, he shouted through the bars.
"WOODY!" There was no response.
"Woody if you can hear me shout!" Still no response. Looking over to Andy, he was beginning to slump against the window, the fire smoke was engulfing him and he couldn't breathe. He was giving up and Buzz knew wherever Woody was he'd tell Buzz to look after Andy.
Buzz's heart was breaking as he gripped the bars, falling to his knees and shouting one last time. "WOODY!" There was no response, his eyes began to tear up and he closed them for a minute. "Please Woody help me do this…"
Andy coughed and moaned in the background, he was loosing consciousness and Buzz looked from him back to the vent. "For you Woody…I would travel to hell and back."
Buzz pushed all of his might and strength into his feet and hands, he threw himself off the counter top and rolled when he hit the ground, looking around he saw a knife of the floor and though he couldn't lift it he knew Andy could. He climbed up to Andy as fast as he could, when he reached him he spoke.
"Andy…Andy its Buzz, you know, your toy? Hey buddy can you hear me?"
"B…Buzz?" Andy said but he wasn't with it.
"Yeah buddy, it's me, you need to get up and get that knife okay? It's on the ground next to the chair you were sat in. Can you do that?"
"I can't do it…B…Buzz…"
"Yes you can Andy, you're a brave boy, you need to get up and do it cos if you don't you'll never get to play with me or Woody again…We need you Andy come on buddy I'm here…"
Andy got up slowly, his head lifting off the glass window and moving as he tumbled off of the counter top, the flames now roaring all around the kitchen, the heat getting intense, the flames tearing everything apart and making small things explode.
Andy managed to grab the knife in good time and get back up, Buzz pointed to the latch and the crack in the frame, Andy unsteadily made the knife and the crack connect and as he pushed and pulled it he turned and grabbed Buzz tightly, the two of them flying out of the window and into a muddy ground….
