Thank you for the reviews! Sorry this one's been a bit late, but I have been absolutely exhausted the last few days.. anyway, enjoy!
Murdoc glared at her with a death stare, and struggled fiercely against Michael's grip.
"Let me the fuck go so I can kill this bitch!" he snarled.
Michael just held him tighter. Catherine laughed.
"I don't think that will be happening anytime soon, honey. Wait, what was it you wanted to do to me again? Cut me open and feed my intestines to your raven? That wasn't very friendly, was it?" she said pleasantly.
Murdoc growled furiously.
"How much do you want?" Noodle asked suddenly.
Catherine looked at her sharply. "What?"
"Money. How much do you want?"
Catherine chuckled. "You're a clever little thing, aren't you? I'm sorry dear, but money just won't cut it. No, I'm afraid I'm going to have to get rid of you.."
2D sat up, shaking from fatigue. "Please, no," he croaked.
Catherine laughed again, and kicked him back down with her black stiletto's. Noodle gasped. Murdoc roared and managed to wrench himself free from Michael's grip, throwing himself at Catherine. She screamed and received a ferocious blow to the cheekbone, but Cole stepped in and snatched Murdoc up.
Catherine straightened herself up and felt the place Murdoc had hit. She smiled at him.
"You really should not have done that," she said quietly.
She then nodded to Michael, and he walked up to 2D, who was cowering on the floor. He then started kicking him. 2D couldn't do anything in defense, he just lay there, while pain took over his mind with ever kick.
Noodle screamed.
"NO!" shouted Murdoc, and tried desperately to get free again, but Cole was too strong.
Michael gave 2D another good kick, then stepped back. 2D lay on the ground, eyes closed, breathing shallow, his body bruised and bashed.
Murdoc was shaking with rage, and growling like a wild animal.
"There, now that's done, it's time for you to say goodbye," Catherine said, crossing her arms.
2D hadn't even opened his eyes. Noodle was now sobbing, and Murdoc was still growling.
"Michael, Cole, take them away. You know what to do," Catherine said indifferently, and turned around.
The men grabbed some rope from a drawer, and started binding them in it, having some trouble with Murdoc. They then gagged them, and put them both into a garbage bag.
"Want us to keep it clean, miss?" Michael asked.
"Whatever. Just make it painful and slow with the guy. The girl I don't care about," she said, shrugging.
Murdoc and Noodle were bumped about as the men took them outside. After a while, they were finally thrown out. They were in some kind of alley, and they were thrown against a wall. The men pulled knives from their pockets.
It dawned on him. This was the day he, Murdoc Niccals, was going to die. He wasn't prepared for this. There were still so many things he wanted to do, music he wanted to make.. It was all going to end. And not even gracefully.
He turned to Noodle, who was crying so much he was surprised she could still keep a straight face.
"Noodle, love, you're a great girl. I'm sorry it had to end like this," he said quietly.
Noodle attempted a smile. "I love you, Murdoc."
He grinned at her. "Love you too, Noods."
He then turned to the men. "Kill her first," he growled. He didn't want Noodle to witness them killing him.
The men shrugged. "Whatever."
Michael picked Noodle up, and put the knife against her throat. Noodle shut her eyes and bit her lip. Murdoc gritted his teeth.
Suddenly, they all heard a roar. Murdoc tried to look over his shoulder as he couldn't turn his body since he was tied up. He heard stomping coming up.
"GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF OF MY BABYDOLL!"
A grin started spreading on Murdoc's face. Michael was suddenly thrown against the wall. Murdoc looked up and saw the huge, familiar shape of Russel pounding Michael. Out of the corner of his eye, Murdoc saw Cole trying to slip away.
"Russ! Behind you!" he called.
Russel turned and picked up Cole, throwing him on Michael. Murdoc meanwhile managed to pick up the knife with his tied up hands and started cutting through Noodle's ropes at an awkward angle. She grinned when her hands were free, and cut through the bindings at her ankles. Then she started cutting through Murdoc's bindings. By the time they were finished, the men were both unconscious.
"Are you okay?" Russel asked, picking up Noodle and turning her this way and that, looking for any harm.
"I'm fine. We need to hurry, 2D's alone with that woman!"
They ran out of the alley. Murdoc and Noodle looked around, confused.
"We're already in her street. What number does she live on?" Russel said.
"Forty-eight. Come on!" Noodle said, and started running past the houses.
When they finally reached her house, Russel kicked the door open. Catherine had 2D in her arms, and dropped him in shock.
"YOU ARE GOING TO FUCKING DIE!" Murdoc roared, and launched himself at Catherine.
Suddenly, he felt something cold poke him in the stomach.
"What the.." he began, looking down.
He backed away in shock.
"Stand over there, now. Unless you want me to shoot your brains out," Catherine said quietly, pointing the gun right at Murdoc's head.
Snarling, he went to stand where she said.
"I am going to leave now, and I'm going to take 2D with me. If any of you follows me, your brains will be splattered on the ground. Am I clear?" Catherine said, still quietly.
She picked 2D up with one arm, him being very light and her being quite strong. She slowly walked past them, pointing the gun at each of them in turn, and walked backwards out of the house. She then threw 2D in her car, jumped in also and drove off.
Murdoc, Russel and Noodle stared defeatedly at the car growing smaller in the distance.
"He's gone," Murdoc said hoarsely.
"What do we do now?" Noodle asked quietly.
"The two men. They must know where Catherine was planning on taking him," Russel said.
Murdoc glanced outside. "It's starting to get light. We'd better hurry up."
They ran back to the place they had left the men. Murdoc ran up to Michael and kicked him.
"Where the fuck is she taking him!" he yelled.
Michael didn't answer. Murdoc cursed, and turned to Cole.
"WHERE IS SHE TAKING HIM?" he shouted in his ear.
"..Beach," Cole mumbled, before spitting out some blood.
"Beach? What the fuck?" Murdoc frowned.
"No time to wonder about it, let's just go!" Russel said.
"How are we going to get to the beach? We don't have a car," Noodle said.
"I took my car to the restaurant, remember? It's not so far from here. Come on," Russel said, and they started running again, following Russel.

Catherine was tying 2D's ankles together. 2D watched dully. He couldn't think straight from the pain. They were standing on the edge of a cliff, and under them the wild sea raged. She tied the same rope around her own ankles. She pulled him forward, putting her lips next to his ear.
"They'll be here soon," she whispered. "We're going down together."
2D looked at her, confused. Then he looked at the rope, and at the sea underneath them. It dawned on him. Catherine was going to tie 2D and herself together, and throw them off of the cliff, into the ocean. She was going to kill them both.
Oh my God, the end is so near.. I think the next chapter or the one after that might be the last :o. I don't want this to end, I'm enjoying writing it too much.. Anyway, leave reviews and I'll continue the story! Thank you for reading!
