Yay for more reviews! Okay so I'm going to be in Chad's point of view and then when something particular happens, I'm going to move it to Ryan's. As much as I would love for you guys to keep guessing, I just want to take a break from the main group and fill in the holes. Hopefully it'll all come back together.

Chapter 5

After the prank on Chad, he had decided to go cool off and obviously plan his counterstrike. He wanted it to be good too. As the group laughed, he left, walking up to his and Taylor's room.

He laid on the bed that they shared, staring at the ceiling and flipping his flip phone nonchalantly in his hand. "What can I do that will really get back at them?" He asked outloud with a sigh. Sure there was simple things like shaving cream while they slept, spiders in their shoes, or even thieving their clothes. Okay no, he couldn;t dot hat stuff. Those were types of things boys did to boys. He could just pop out of random places at them? Though that could probably get him smacked several times.

Chad sighed again as he heard a couple people walking up the stairs. He sat up, staring at his cracked door. Being curious as he was, he slinked slightly closer to the door, wanting to know what was going on.

"..we going to do it?" A man with a spanish accent asked another person.

"It has to be soon. They're together right now. We have to do it when they're not." A voice, very familiar to Chad replied.

"Are you sure it's going to work out? I mean, the family knows a lot of people."

"Yeah, and the family also has a lot of love and more importantly, a lot of money."

"Why the boy? Wouldn't the girl be worth more?"

"She may, but her distress would be enough to further convince the family to cooperate."

"That is a good point. She is such a brat though."

"I know, and it's such a shame since the boy is a great kid, but it has to be done."

By the time, Chad's eyes were huge and he was in panic mode. He began to back up except his foot caught the edge of the rug, causing him to trip, knocking into the dresser. His phone flying from his hand, sliding under the bed.

"Shitt." He said quietly as he went over to the bed, bending down to pick it up. As he knelt down, he froze, turning around.

There in the doorway was the butler Bill and one of the gardeners he remembered seeing when they first got there.

"Oh...hey Bill." Chad said, beginning to stand, his nerves going insane!

"Sir Chad, what were you doing?" Bill asked taking a step closer.

"I uh..I was just up here to, to uh, do some light reading, you know." He stumbled against his words, knowing they probably didn't make very good sense.

"Where's your book?" Bill looked around, not seeing one in sight.

"That's the thing..I thought Taylor brought one with her, but, I guess not..I better go then." Chad said as he began to leave the room.

Unfortunetely the gardener held out his arm to stop Chad from leaving.

"I'm afraid that that cannot happen." Bill said reaching into his pocket.

For a minute Chad thought that Bill was about to pull out a gun. All he did was pull out a small bottle and a cloth.

He sat it down on the dresser and leaned back, opening up the bottle. He poured a little bit of the substance onto the cloth, quickly closing it.

"Now if you will just place this over your mouth and breathe in, you'll make this a lot easier than it has to be." Bill said holding out the cloth.

Chad had a feeling he knew what it was from the movies he's watched so he went to make a run for it but the gardener's strong arm wrapped around his small frame, pinning his arms to his sides. As soon as he went to scream out for help, Bill pressed the cloth over Chad's mouth, muffling him.

The substance didn't really have a smell. Chad tried to hold his breath for as long as he could but the gardener squeezing him was restraining him completely. He finally sucked in air, which was even hard to aquire because of the cloth. Not even a minute later but Chad started to fall to his knees, his head spinning. He didn't want to fall asleep but he felt like he did after he had intense basketball practice. His eyes fluttered a few more times, trying to stay awake but it was to no avail. He was knocked unconscious.

"What are we going to do with him?" The gardener asked as he lifted Chad up, placinbg him on the bed.

"We can't keep him here, he'll tell his friends about what we were talking about and then we'll be done." Bill said, pacing a few times.

A few hours later, Chad started coming to. His head was swimming and for a good ten minutes, he couldn't even try to move his head, or even open his eyes. His next reaction was to yell out but he couldn't because there was now tape over his mouth. He went to take it off except that he then realized he was lying on his side, his wrists taped together behind his back. His ankles bound as well.

Chad panicked but knew he had to focus. He had to keep calm if he was ever going to get out of this. Looking around, he noticed he was actually in what looked like the back of a van. Why did they put him in there? Did they think he wouldn't wake up by now?

Chad was pretty flexible so in no time he had manuvered so his hands were in front of him instead of behind his back. He pulled off the tape from his mouth, taking in a good deep, somewhat fresh breath. He wanted to be quick about it so he began to chew at the tape to rip it off. It took at least a good fifteen minutes before he got it off since it was wrapped pretty tightly around his wrists then he got off the tape around his ankles.

He moved towards the front of the van to see where he was. He wasn't very far from the house. He was in the parking lot which was about thirty seconds down the road if they had continued to drive. Troy's & Sharpay's vehicles were parked there. He used the rear view mirror it make sure the coast was clear. He slowly creeped out of the driver's side door, moving swiftly but carefully by the side of the van, scared of being caught.

That's when he bolted for the front door. He was so close to it. He ran full speed, probably faster than he had ever ran in his life. It was true you found amazing indurnace when your life could be on the line.

He burst through the front door, but fell forward, hitting a stand with a vase on it. An extra force knocked him down and wrestled him to the ground. They had gone through the front door with so much force it had swung back. He turned around on his back to find the gardener on top of him, a hand pressed firmly over his mouth, the force crushing his jaw. He felt like if the guy pushed any harder, it'd break.

The man hauled Chad up to his feet, quickly exiting the place and running behind some bushes. The man had one of Chad's arms twisted behind his back, causing him to wince as his other hand stayed clamped over his mouth.

Not too long after they were hidden in the bushes, the groupf had gone down the stairs to check out the sound. He saw the butler and freaked out, struggling harder.

Chad's heart skipped a beat as he saw his best friend out in the front porch. For a few seconds, he swore Troy saw him. Chad knew they made eye contact.

'Come on Troy! See me! Help! No no no! Wait, come back!' Chad's thoughts kept screaming at his best friend to see him.Troy had started to walk back inside and he then knew that he hadn't seen him.

The door shut and Chad heard the man say sorry before feeling a stinging pain in the back of his head before it all went out and he was knocked unconscious once again.

Ryan was ready to shower and then change into another outfit. He wanted to wear something for dinner. His family was used to being all dressed up for dinner so naturally he would get ready.

After his shower, Ryan put on a light green dress shirt and off white dress pants. He opened up his closet to reveal his hats. One time he counted, and he was sure he had over sixty hats. He counted that time about four months ago. He guessed he probably had over a hundred by now. Of course he didn't bring them all, that'd be insane, he only brought about half.

He stood in front of his mirror, trying on different hats of the green color to see which one would go with his shirt best. As he grabbed another hat to try on, the lights suddenly went off.

"What the..?" He began to ask except for the fact that he heard Taylor scream. Either Chad must have got her back or the lights surprised her maybe? What if something was wrong?

Before he could go to her aid, he felt to strong arms grab him from behind, a cloth beginning to get pressed over his mouth.

He panicked and was able to slip out of the man's grip since he was slimmer than the intruder had guessed.

He went to run but the guy grabbed his wrist, swinging him around, a fist connecting with his jaw. He had had a hold of a hat still and it flew over towards his mirror.

The punch was so hard the it not only knocked him off guard, it knocked him out. Okay so it was just hard enough to make him become so dazed it was weird that he hadn't passed out. His nose bled slightly but he laid there on the floor. It was as if paralysis had kicked in, nothing being able to move. He shut his eyes.

The man picked Ryan up, hoisting the boy over one shoulder, leaving the room through the window as the lights came back on.

-

Ryan felt his body moving slightly as if in a car. Nope, it was a van. He wondered where it was going. More importantly who had kidnapped him!? He opened his eyes, squinting, seeing Chad next to him. They hadn't tied either boy up, assuming they both were knocked out completely.

Ryan slowly edged his hand close to his pocket, getting his cell phone.He dialed '11' which was his quick dial for Sharpay. It didn't go through very long before a strong, firm hand reached over, grabbing his hand to stop him. The man was wearing a mask and took the phone from Ryan, cancelling the call.

He was still pretty dazed by the hit, so he couldn't fight the guy to stop him from bounding his wrists behind his back. A piece of tape went over his mouth and a bandana went over his eyes.

Done with another chapter! I hope you guys liked it, at least a little bit anyways.

I wanted to do some editting really quick that needs fixed. Okay, how I had explained the top floor, it sounds like there are a total of seven doors. WAY too much. Let's remove a bathroom and then just give everyone bedroom a simple bathroom, except Sharpay's who's is extra fancy and the biggest.

So then there is the two spare room's, Ryan's and Sharpay's rooms, a closet, and then a door to the attic. I know that's a lot of bathrooms but how I wrote the chapter with Taylor is saying that there's a bathroom in her room. I could have said she had just gotten out of there and went to her room when the lights went off but, oh well!

Tell me what you think, I'm shooting for at least 7-10 reviews this time. Please!

Again, sorry for any and all spelling errors, too lazy to correct them!!
