Chapter six ~ Tragedy!

*Layla's POV*

"What?!" I mouthed. I couldn't find my voice. I did not see that coming.

My eyes glanced at Jack's unconscious , he hadn't heard that. I looked around and counted four ninjas, plus Arthur and Kai. There wasn't much hope for us. Arthur was strong, and Kai was even stronger. Kim stiffened beside me as Arthur stepped forward.

"Aw come on, Kimberly," He grinned. "You're coming with me." I tried to pull away from the ninja holding me, but it was no use.

"Stay back." Kim warned. Arthur growled at her but strangely he stepped back, he looked over to Kai.

"Say you want to stick around Kai?" Arthur smiled

"Why...?" Kai asked clearly annoyed.

"Just thought you'd want to." Kai raised his eyebrow, and Arthur continued. "I want a piece of Jack." He laughed.

"I'm in no hurry I guess," Kai shrugged. "Shall we get going or..?"

"Leave Jack alone!" Kim suddenly shouted. She looked to me slightly and I saw the gleam in her eye. Before I had a chance to tell her no, she flipped the ninja restraining her. I was surprised. How the hell had she done that?! She ran at Kai and threw a kick towards him, and he grinned at her. He moved so quickly Kim had no time to react. He kicked her on coming attack away and she fell backwards onto her behind. All the movement had begun to wake up Jack.

"Right if you girls move, or even talk, any more the punk gets it!" Kai shouted "I've had enough of this!"

Kim froze in front of him, she must of seen something that I couldn't as she retreated holding her hands up. She came and sat beside me.

"What?" I whispered

"G... gun. He has a gun." She whispered wide eyed.

Great! How can things get any worse? I wondered. My question was answered when Jack finally woke up completely.

"Wha...? where...?" He said rather groggily.

"Shut it, Punk!" Kai warned.

"Jack...?" Kim asked trying to get his attention. Arthur got mad at her without warning he came forward and slapped Kim across the face. She let out a little whimper at the sting.

"Stop it!" Jack growled hopelessly struggling against Kai's tight grip.

"Or what, Hero?" Arthur chuckled slapping Kim again and again. Jack got more and more angry, heck I was too. Arthur then pulled Kim up by her hair. She grimaced at the pain, but said nothing. During all of this she had started to cry. I couldn't believe that the strong Kimberly Crawford was falling apart in from of me.

I looked to Jack, he was clutching his fists together so hard that his knuckles had turned white. Kai was just staring off into space, not bothered at all about the situation in front of him. I guess the way he saw it, he had what he wanted and nothing else mattered.

When my eyes came upon Jack once again I saw something unbelievable. He managed to knee Kai in the chest so hard that Kai dropped him. Unable to get his feet under himself he fell onto his back. His shoulder didn't seem to be bleeding anymore, but it clearly hurt still. He flinched as he banged his shoulder on a branch. Kai's foot came in contact with his stomach. He pinned Jack down so hard and fast that something cracked. Jack cried out in pain. I had never seen him in so much pain before. I tried to see what exactly was wrong, but I couldn't work it out. Kai kept laughing and pushing harder. Jack cried out even more as Kai pushed down. Suddenly Jack spat out a mouth full of blood.

"I'm sorry. It seems I don't know my own strength." Kai laughed even harder as Jack cried out once again, from the pressure. "Did I just hear a rib crack?" Jack looked Kai in the eye and smirked, trying to hide his pain.

"Y...yeah... maybe..." Jack said while coughing up little amounts of blood. My fear was that his rib may be broken. The blood puzzled me. Had he punctured a lung? If he did, we where in deep need of help.

"Jack!" Kim called out. Arthur pulled her backwards with her hair, causing her to quietly cry in pain. Jack tried to move from under Kai's weight but he just groaned at the pain and stilled.

"You want to fight huh?" Kai asked looking down at Jack. "OK." Kai continued.

All of us looked at Kai in confusion. He flung Jack over onto his front, and Jack let out a moan of disapproval. Kai undid the handcuffs and stepped backwards.

"Come on then, Punk." He grinned. Jack rolled over and clutched his stomach. Kai got bored of waiting and kicked him in the stomach. Spitting more blood out, Jack glared at his cousin. I lost it, using all my strength I flipped the ninja restraining me and grabbed Kai's t-shirt. I pulled him backwards, sightly unbalancing him. I tripped him and he crashed to the ground. As soon as he was down he was up again. He didn't try to attack me, he just pulled the gun out. I froze as he aimed the gun at Jack.

"I warned you." Kai smirked pulling the trigger.

*Rudy's POV*

"Yes Officer," I nodded. "Jack Brewer, Kimberly Crawford and Layla Brewer." The policemen nodded and wrote their names down.

"We are following some leads." He closed his book and headed to the door of the dojo.

"We will let you know if anything else comes up." With a quick handshake he walked out. I looked at the press, sighing to myself I walked back into the dojo towards the warriors.
"Any news?" Milton asked jumping from his seat.

"Yo this isn't good!" Jerry sighed. It seemed he was more worried about Layla than anyone else. Looks like he may have a crush on her, which won't go down well with Jack...

Where are they? It's been days. After the kidnapping outside the dojo, my dojo! The police had come to investigate. They had a tip of the two victims that they where looking for two girls. The security camera had picked up the picture of Kim and Layla just before the kidnapping. I had identified them but when the police went to Layla's (temporary) home, Jack's mum had broke down claiming they where missing. She hadn't seen them both in days. That's when I started thinking, I hadn't seen all three for days. I'd called the other warriors and asked them if they had seen them, but they hadn't either. I was worried as I had news that some familiar faces had come to town. One of them being Kai, and I knew with Jack missing that wasn't good news. Last time they met Kai had attempted to kill him. I just told the police everything I knew and asked them to hurry. Apparently they had leads but would they make it in time?

*Kim's POV*

I watched helplessly as Kai pulled the trigger. My heart stopped completely as I watched the bullet head towards Jack. I hadn't ever told him that I love him. I pulled against Arthur's grip, but tears stung my eyes as soon as I moved. Arthur had clutched my hair tighter.

Layla moved as fast as she could and pushed Jack aside. The bullet missed him by inches, and it almost hit Layla, but luckily for her it missed. Kai glared at her and she froze as he raised the gun again.

"I'd punish you, but the best way is through him." He moved the gun and fired before Layla could move. The bullet shot through Jack's leg. Biting his lip, Jack tried to sallow his cries. Layla moved towards Jack, so Kai fired again. The shot went just under the other.

"Keep moving this is fun." Kai chuckled.

"Stop it please!" Layla begged holding her arms up. Kai raised the gun to her.

"You know what. Your not needed here." He squeezed the trigger. I couldn't take this any more. My best friends where suffering right in front of me and I couldn't help them. I couldn't watch so I squeezed my eyes shut. I heard the bang and a scream.

"JACK!" Layla cried out. My eyes shot open. At the last second Jack had moved in the way, hitting the gun. Kai had fired but it went into Jack instead. I had no idea how he even managed to get to his feet.

"S...stop it!" Layla begged again as Kai grabbed Jack's collar. I scanned Jack and found the gun shot had just grazed his side. It didn't look too bad. It was bleeding a little, but he didn't seem bothered by it. Kai was actually holding him upright at the moment, due to the leg he wasn't using.

"You little punk! Think you're a hero?" Kai yelled. Jack grinned, spitting a little blood into Kai's face. "That all you got?"

"Jack don't!" Layla shouted. "Stop this Kai!"

Ignoring her, Kai cleared his face of blood. Clutching his fist hard, he hit Jack in his stomach once again. This one was different, a loud snap sounded. Kai released his hold on Jack, causing him to fall to his knees. Coughing uncontrollably, Jack struggled to breath.

"What did you do?" Layla demanded, pure horror showing on her face.

"Now it's a broken rib. Or maybe two." Kai chuckled kicking Jack down to the floor. "If you know what's good for you. You will stay down." Jack rolled to his side clutching his stomach. He coughed up a lot of blood and groaned loudly. His eyes where half open, as he was struggling to keep them open. I knew he was going to black out, and he was trying to fight it, but something wasn't right.

"Jack, stay awake!" I cried. His eyes met mine and he smiled slightly.

I love you. I mouthed, hoping this wasn't the last time I'd say those words to him. I blushed slightly at the though of revealing my hidden emotions. Jack smiled even more, clearly happy about what I had said. From day one he had claimed that I had a crush on him, and although I've been denying it for 2 years now, it was true. I loved him, I always have and always will.

I love you too. He mouthed back.

A faint siren sounded off in the distance. Kai froze.

"Crap!" He yelled "Who the fuck called the cops?" I had the urge to scream for help at the top of my lungs, but I didn't in case Kai tried anything else.

"Damnit." Arthur sighed "Think they're after us?"

"Of course they are, you idiot. This is the only house for miles." Kai put his fingers to Jack's neck. Sighing loudly, he walked towards Layla. "We leaving. Bring Kim with you." Kai commanded.

"And Jack...?" Arthur asked looking down at Jack. He was hardly moving now, his eyes where almost closed.

"Jack. Jack!" I yelled "Listen to me you-" Arthur slapped me.

"Shut it!" He yelled "Not one more word!"

"No point in taking him." Kai said.

"Why?" Arthur asked looking completely confused. The sirens were getting closer and closer.

"He'll probably be dead soon. Seems I went a little far Oh well. We need to move now." Kai shrugged. He turned around and kicked Layla aside. She smacked into a tree and fell to the floor. "Sorry Cuz. You're of no interest to me."

"Lay!" I shouted trying to get her attention but she didn't hear me. Next thing I knew I was being dragged by my hair. "No!" I begged looking at Jack. I can't go, I need to help him.

"See you, Punk." Kai chuckled as he went off into the forest. Arthur followed him dragging me along with him.

"How long has he got?" Arthur asked "It's just... I wanted a go."

"Not long. He's pulse is faint. And he's struggling to breath now." Kai smiled. Suddenly his eyes met mine.

"I went too far too quickly. That's what happens if you don't follow my orders." Kai grinned.

"Please take me back!" I begged "I'll do anything. Just let me help him!"

"You'll do anything anyway, trust me," Kai grinned "Gag her. She's starting to annoy me. Just you and us now Kimmy. Let's go and have some fun." My tears flowed again. Jack's going to die, and I'm not able to help him. Why am I so weak?

*Layla's POV*

Crap does my head hurt. I got to my knees and touched the back of my head. My hair was wet with blood. I sighed. Great! I could hear talking in the distance but figures where hard to make out in the darkness.

"Not long. He's pulse is faint. And he's struggling to breath even now..." That was Kai's voice! My head snapped to Jack, he hadn't moved since the last time I saw him. The sound of the sirens where starting to get deafening, so they must be close now. I tried to stand, but I felt so dizzy I fell back down again. I managed to crawl to Jack's side. I breathed a sigh of relief to see that he was still breathing. Checking his pulse, I found that it was faint, but he was still alive, even if it was just barely. He needed help. Jack suddenly become conscious.

"Hey!" I smiled

"Kim...Kim." He mumbled unaware of my presence. I shook him gently and finally he's eyes laid on mine. "Wh..where's Kim?"

"They have her." I sighed

"Please... go save her... please..." he begged

"I will Jack. But you're not dying here, so save that sort of stuff for later OK?" I smiled. "I'll find her, I promise!"

"Thank you..." He smiled before blacking out once again. I heard a lot of noise coming from where the house was. That's when I remembered the police.

"HELP! OVER HERE!" I yelled as loud as my lungs would let me. Finally after calling for a third time I saw the lights approaching. I looked back to Jack sensing something wasn't right. He had stopped BREATHING!

"Damn it Jack!" I shouted as I started CPR. Tears fell down my checks as I did my compressions. "Please don't die. Stay with me!" A armed police officer came to me and checked the area. It wasn't until the paramedic finally came running that I let them touch Jack.

"You have to save him!" I cried.

"We will do what we can. Keep talking to him!" He half smiled as he continued the CPR. That I had been forced to stop.

"Jack please come back. I'm sorry for being such a lousy sister. I'm sorry. Please open your eyes." Taking his hand I squeezed it tight. "WAKE UP!"

"I have a pulse but its faint. We need to move him NOW!" The paramedic shouted. More people came running through, gently pushing me aside, they rolled Jack onto the stretcher and raced back to the waiting ambulance. With the help of a policeman, I made it to Jack. I watched from outside the vehicle as they started to stick tubes in his arms.

"Damn it, he's gone into cardiac arrest." I heard a paramedic say.

My heart stopped. Why did this happen? I can't loose my only brother. It's my fault, really. I was so stupid to think that Kai wouldn't shoot Jack. I silently prayed for Jack's recovery, apologizing for my mistakes. I just wanted my brother to live. No matter how I act, I love and look up to him. Without Jack, I would be lost. My father's gone, I hardly speak to my real mother, and after all of this I couldn't possibly face Jack's mum.

"Charging and clear!" The paramedic zapped him. "Nothing. Charging and clear..." The back of my head was burning, and the next thing I remember was hitting the pavement...
