Chapter 9
Nicole, Jake, and Crystal rode over to Britney's house to figure out how Britney was doing this, and how to stop her.
"What are we going to do if she catches us though?" asked Crystal.
"She's not here," Nicole pointed out. The driveway was empty of any cars. "The only thing we would have to worry about if she came home early."
"And you three wouldn't caught?" someone said behind them.
Nicole, Jake, and Crystal turned around and saw that Langston was right behind them.
"Langston, we can explain," Nicole started to say.
"Hey, its okay, Nicole," said Langston. "I'm wanting to figure it out myself, and I knew you would do that soon."
"Hey, is it just me, or is her front door open?" asked Jake. The three girls turned and sure enough, it was.
"That's weird," said Langston. "You three stay here, I'll check this out." Langston then went inside to look around.
"Let's look through the window," Nicole suggested to her friends. The other two agreed. Crystal went to look through the window next to the door, and Jake went to look through the side window.
Langston was looking around; making sure that it wasn't a trap, until she saw a door that was locked from the inside. She tried to open it up, but no luck. Funny thing was though, there was no lock built in the handle, so she couldn't pick it.
Nicole was watching what Langston was doing, so she decided to look around on the outside to try to find a window that lead to that door. The good news was that she found one. But the bad news was that it was locked as well.
"I got to find a way to get in there, to see what that witch that wanted to be a friend with us is up to," said Nicole, and started to look around for a way to open up the window.
Cole right now was packing up the football equipment as practice was over for the day. They had another big game that was going to be happening tomorrow here at Llanview.
As soon as Cole was done, he started to head out to his vehicle. "Those boys are really coming through," he said.
Unfortunately, he wasn't able to say anything else, because at that moment, someone covered his mouth with a cloth. Cole tried to struggle to get his attacker off, but he wasn't able to, as he slipped into unconsciousness.
The intruder was masked, and then, with some difficulty, was able to drag Cole to a car, put him in the back seat, and taped him to the seat. Then the intruder covered his eyes with some kind of blindfold, and then buckled him up and closed the door. As she pulled her mask off, Britney said to herself, that part was too easy. Now for the next part, she said as she pulled out something in an envelope.
Nicole, Crystal, and Jake were trying everything they could to get the window opened.
"This is impossible," he said.
"There you guys are," said Langston, who was looking for them when she came out of the house.
"We found another way in to that room, but its locked as well," said Crystal.
Langston looked at it, and then smiled. "Well, it may be, but not for long," she said as she pulled out a hair clip from her purse. It turned out that the lock had a hole in the place where the lock was on the inside. She placed the hair clip in and started to do a little twist and turning. Miraculously, she was able to pick the lock, and pulled the window opened.
Unfortuantely, there was another problem. It wasn't as too bad as the window, but still bad. There seemed to be a black piece a wood that was covering up the whole window frame.
"How are we going to get through that?" asked Nicole.
"Allow me," someone said behind them.
It was Markko. Langston was surprised that he was here.
"Markko, what are you doing here? And where's our daughter?" asked Langston.
"Laura's still at my parents' house," said Markko. "As for why I'm here, I think the its the same reason why all four of you are here."
"Wait, you think-" Nicole started to say, but Markko interrupted her.
"Lets just say that I know now that some people definitely don't change at all, while some people do," said Markko. Langston just smiled at her husband.
"Now, lets see what our pretend friend has been up to," said Markko He aimed a couple of kicks at the board that was blocking their way.
Starr had gotten home and wanted to just relax with Cole. She knew that Nicole would be hanging with her friends, so they would only have Patrick to deal with.
Something though that Starr noticed was really strange. Cole's car wasn't in the driveway yet. Starr just probably figured that he was running a little late, and headed to the door of their house. Starr though stopped at the door as she saw an envelope with her maiden name on it.
"Who would be writing to me with my original last name?" asked Starr. She picked it up, opened it, and read it. It seemed to be typed.
Hey Starr, I decided that I don't want to burden this with you anymore. I have a pretty good feeling that the letters aren't going to stop. Plus, there is another thing. I have fallen in love with another girl. I hate to say it, but that girl happens to be Britney. I'm really sorry. I figure I would leave the kids in your care. Take care.
Cole
"No way, this can't be true," said Starr. Just then Starr got a call from her cell.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Mrs. Thornhart, this is the principal of Llanview High. We've just found your husband's car with its door opened and the keys on the ground. I have a feeling that something bad has happened to him."
"Hang on, I'm on my way. Can you call Commander McBain while you're at it?" asked Starr.
"Already done," said the principal.
"Okay, I'm on my way," said Starr and she hanged up. She decided to go on and see what was up without telling Nicole first, as she was starting to get really suspicious of what was going on.
It took a multiple of kicks, but finally managed to get the board down that was blocking the window. However, when the board was down, all five of them were in shock on what was on the other side.
Cole was starting to wake up, and then noticed that he was in a car, but not his own. He tried to move his arms, but found out that they were tied on the armrests of the seat.
"Well, well. Looks like my love is finally awake," said Britney who was driving the vehicle.
"Britney, what are you doing?" asked Cole.
"I'm doing what I wanted to do, Cole. Have you all to myself," said Britney.
"So I guess that turning over a new leaf speech was a fake as well," said Cole.
"Yeah, but we have a long way to go where we're going, sweetie," said Britney, as she pulled over to the shoulder.
"What do you mean? Britney, you better let me go right now," Cole demanded, trying to get his arms loose from the armrests.
"I'm sorry, but you know our love is stronger than what you had with that jerk," said Britney. "Don't worry though, she think that you've run away with me without the kids, and started a new life with me." She then took the same cloth and covered Cole's mouth again. Cole tried to resist again, but he was out again, and Britney started once more on the road.
Langston, Markko, Nicole, Jake, and Crystal were shocked as they saw what was in the locked room. It seemed that Britney had decorated it with pictures of Cole himself, and of Cole and Britney that were edited to make it like she was with her the whole time. There were even some of with what looked like old pictures of Starr and Cole, but with Starr being replaced by Britney.
"You got to be kidding me," said Langston.
"Looks like Britney still hasn't gotten over obsession of separating Starr and Cole," said Markko.
"Oh my god," said Nicole. "This woman is a complete nut job."
"Hey, I found something," said Crystal, who was over at the computer. It seemed that the computer had the mother load of pictures of Cole, and what seemed to be the made pictures of Starr and Markko kissing each other.
"Well, at least we got proof now of her doing this," said Jake.
Just then Markko's phone went off. It was Starr.
"Starr, hey listen I got something I need to tell you," said Markko.
"So do I," said Starr, who was at the high school. "Cole been kidnapped, and I think Britney did it."
Will Cole be found and be reunited with Starr and his family and friends? And will Britney be stopped? Stay tuned.
