Enjoy!
At the RV, all three boys had fallen asleep from pure exhaustion. Andre was sprawled out over the couch with his head buried under one of the pillows, Robbie had curled up in a ball on the floor, and Beck had collapsed onto his bed with his legs hanging over the side.
It was around about 7am when Robbie's phone rang loudly, startling them from their sleep. The boys groaned as they were rudely awoken. Robbie reached into his back pocket and retrieved his phone, cracking one eye open to press the answer button before closing it again.
"Hello?" he answered, his voice croaky from sleep.
In a matter of two seconds, Robbie went from being on the verge of falling back asleep to completely wide awake when he heard the voice coming through the phone. His breath caught in his throat and he sat up immediately, startling Andre and Beck who were rubbing their eyes tiredly.
"What?" Andre asked confusedly as he watched Robbie in his shocked state.
Robbie looked up at him, "It's Cat," he whispered breathlessly.
Andre and Beck locked eyes before immediately rushing over to where Robbie was.
"Where is she?" Beck cried.
"Cat? Where are you?" Robbie asked into the phone. His heart pounded in his chest, but then began to break when Cat started crying softly. His eyes grew sad as he listened to her sobbing. "Cat. Sweetheart, calm down," he soothed, wanting nothing more than to hug her.
"Put it on speaker," Andre whispered, desperate to find out if Cat knew where Tori and Jade were.
Robbie clicked the speakerphone button, letting Cat's sobs fill the RV. Andre and Beck's eyes saddened.
"Cat, we're coming to get you. Where are you?" Beck asked, grabbing his school notepad and a pen and beginning to write down the address as she spoke it.
"We'll be there soon. Don't worry, little red," Andre said, smiling as Cat managed to let out a small giggle at her nickname, before Robbie hung up the phone.
Back inside the cabin, Jade and Tori were anxiously awaiting news about Cat after hearing a car door slam outisde. They sat against the wall, ready to face Stanley. They heard footsteps walking down the hall towards them before the door opened, revealing him holding a plate of food and another bottle of water in his hands.
"Did you let Cat go?" Jade asked immediately, standing up.
Stanley just smirked, "Of course, she's free now," he answered.
Tori and Jade looked at each other suspiciously, unsure of whether to believe him or not. He smiled at them before placing the food on the floor and leaving the room.
"Something isn't right," Jade whispered.
Tori nodded in agreement, "Yeah, why would he just let us go after this? Especially when we could go to the police."
Jade sighed and slid down the wall to sit back down beside her. Silence fell over the two girls for a few moments before Tori broke it.
"What if... what if he did something to Cat," she said fearfully.
Jade looked at her, unable to speak as her heart began pounding in her chest.
"Oh my God,"
After an hour and a half of driving, the boys finally arrived at the address Cat had told them. They jumped out of the car and ran straight for the front door. Judging by the police cars sitting in the driveway, this was the right place. Beck banged on the door and waited for an answer.
A police officer opened the door and gave them a questioning look.
"We're friends of Cat's," Andre explained hopefully.
The officer nodded and moved to let them inside before closing the door. "She's through there," he told them, pointing to what looked to be a living room. They thanked him before hurrying down the corridor towards the room. As soon as they entered, they caught sight of the bright red hair that they new and loved.
Cat spun around as she heard footsteps enter the room and her breath caught in her throat as she found three of the people that she loved so much. She jumped up from the couch and ran over to them, discarding her blanket on the floor. She ran straight into Robbie's arms and Beck and Andre joined the hug, happy to have one of their girls back safe and sound in their arms.
Robbie tightened his arms around the redhead's waist as she began to sob into his neck, "Shh," he soothed. Andre and Beck looked at each other and nodded before stepping back slightly, letting Cat and Robbie have their moment. Robbie began to rock her back and forth lightly, trying to calm her down as much as possible.
Cat pulled away and looked up at him, her eyes red and puffy from all of her crying. He wiped her tears away from her cheeks and kissed her forehead comfortingly. She turned and hugged Beck tightly before doing the same to Andre. They sat down on the couch as Cat wrapped herself back in her blanket before curling up in Robbie's lap.
"So... what happened?" Andre asked, breaking the ice.
"We were kidnapped by this guy," Cat whispered, feeling more comfortable about talking about the ordeal now that the guys were there. One of the police officers took out a notepad and began writing down what she was saying.
"He took us to his cabin and locked us in a room and chained us to the floor," she continued, her voice cracking. The guys weren't used to hearing her voice being as low as it was now, it was always high and happy.
"He tried to drown Jade first," her voice broke as her eyes teared up, her hand coming to cup her mouth as she thought about her best friend.
Beck froze. His fists clenched tightly, his nails digging into his palms as his mind began to race, filled with horrifying thoughts about what might have happened to Jade.
"He said he was going to let me go," Cat was sobbing now, only able to speak in short sentences, "He threw me in the lake," she cried, burying her face in Robbie's chest. Robbie swallowed back his own tears as he rubbed her back soothingly.
They looked up as a man entered the room holding a cup of coffee. He smiled at them, "My wife and I were diving when we found her. See, we dive in the morning just before the sun comes up. That's when the lake is quietest. We were just about to finish up when we hear something being thrown in the water, and then we see Cat falling through the water with her ankle attached to a weight. I grabbed her and let her use my oxygen mask while my wife cut the rope joined to the weight before we pulled her up to the surface," he explained.
They boys were speechless. They had almost lost Cat. If the man and his wife hadn't been diving, Cat would have died. She would still be there if it wasn't for them.
But what about Jade and Tori?
