Disclaimer: Own nothing that goes with BTR
AN: Someone actually is VERY close to the identity of the killer. And I'm not saying who it is.
Kendall's next trial is gonna be really bloody, but it won't happen until the Frankie centered chapter goes by. It's not on his past, although he will get another one after some more time has gone by.
Keep them killer guesses coming.
The pairings are decided, but one is still up in the air: Fucy, CarlosXJo (Jolos), Jendall and for now the Kogan Bromance will stay as bromance as I still don't know if it'll go past that and once Kendall and Logan talk about it, you'll understand why.
Chapter 11- Jo: Nurse Josephine Taylor and Jackass Stetson
Jo had just finished up her shooting for the newest episode of New Town High and now wanted to head back to the Palm Woods and spend some time with Kendall. Her boyfriend was hiding something and he did a good job of doing it. She couldn't guess on what it was but wished that Kendall would confess and tell her what was going on. She wanted tohelp him but he wasn't making it easy by dodging the subject completely and telling everyone to leave him alone.
Why was he being so stubborn and pushing everyone away? Even James, Carlos and Logan weren't aware on what he was hiding from everyone. Add on to the fact that he had to be fixed up by Logan after being in a car accident and the fact that he was scared about some mysterious guy and you got yourself one crazy mystery.
She checked her phone and saw that he didn't respond to any of the texts that she had sent him in the pass hour. What was he doing that was so important that he couldn't respond to her? As his girlfriend, he should respond to her the second he receives those texts.
Now she was starting to sound like a whiny brat but she couldn't help it, Kendall wanted to be in a relationship with her and now that he's got it he isn't putting any amount of effort in it. That was enough to make the girl go crazy.
But, with more thought she understood why he was acting like that. His sister is gone and he doesn't know how to cope with it. Kendall always went on and on on how awesome his sister was and about how much he loved her. Now that she was in the hands of a serial killer, he didn't know what to do and was withdrawing into a shell because of it.
Something else crossed her mind, Frankie Wilson. That boy looked so disturbed and so sad that Jo wants to give him a hug and not let go until he feels better. He lost his sister too but his was dead, having been the lat victim of the killer. She remembered his lack of enthusiasm when he met her, Carlos and Logan, three celebrities that were getting up there on the charts of television and music separately. Anyone should be all thrilled and excited at the chance to meet them, but here was this one boy that didn't seem to give a damn. What made it worse was the fact that he said that he would talk to Kendall and they only exchanged three sentences and they didn't mean a goddamn thing. Maybe it was the connection that Kendall and Frankie now shared with each other. Older Brothers in Arms that had their sisters taken away from them by some freak that had a fetish with kidnapping and killing little girls.
Jo worried over Katie as much as anyone else that wasn't Kendall could possibly do. She had prayed once or twice for her to be brought home safely but looks like God isn't responding to her or anyone else that was praying for her. While Jo wasn't really close with Katie, the two had a stable friendship and when she was taken, Jo's heart snapped in half and she was overtaken with guilt. She was there when Katie was taken, but she was too busy checking on Kendall to notice her get taken away.
Everyday she thinks back to see if there's anything that she could've done to stop the kidnapping. But she ultimately came up with nothing, and that fact tore at her almost all day everyday.
She couldn't do anything then, but, after thinking about it all day, she was gonna pair up and go and find her. Question now was, who should she go with?
Kendall was being distant so he wasn't an option. She wanted to go with him and help him to find his sister. But the leader of Big Time Rush wasn't gonna listen to her or to anyone else, she would just let him mourn in peace and when she brought Katie back to him, he would thank her by becoming a full active boyfriend.
James was someone she considered teaming up with. But, when Frankie left after him when he shouted out alright at the top of his lungs, she guessed that the two of them were working on something together.
Logan was her choice until she realized something…Camille had texted saying that she was working with him to try and find the killer. Jo could've simply asked to tag along but knew that the two of them were still 'on again off again' so she let them be.
That left Carlos, the most hyper one out of all the boys. Her honest opinion on Carlos was that he was cute, a loyal friend, adorable and tough when need be. During Kendall's two weeks in comatose land, Carlos acted as the shoulder for people to cry on, no matter how much he wanted to cry at the time. And Jo has caught him crying a few tears when he was alone and away from everyone. They only thing that struck her was the question on whether or not Carlos would actually want to try and find the killer. Well, the only way to get a question answered was to have it asked by someone.
Carlos Garcia was now her PII, Partner in Investigation.
"Hey Jo," the obnoxious voice of her costar Jett Stetson called out. The insults this jerk has been throwing about Kendall in the past two weeks was making her want to kill him more and more. The first thing he said was that Kendall was a bad brother for letting Katie get kidnapped by The Painter Killer, which earned him a slap to the face courtesy of Josephine herself. The second thing he said was calling Kendall weak for taking two weeks to wake up from getting hit by a car, which earned him a death glare from her. But the third thing was what made her go off the deep end with him.
Kendall was as bad as the killer for being a failure.
Jo had charged at him and tried to hit him, only for the security guards to come and stop her from trying anything. Jo had deemed him lucky and didn't try again after that to hit him, but she has come close, I mean REALLY close.
"What Jett," she asked albeit with a bit of force.
Jett started to walk with her to the Palm Woods. "How you like to take a ride to 'Jettland' where you'll receive and all access pass," he asked.
"How bout' you take a ride to hell and receive a good ol' fireball in the ass," Jo taunted back. She wasn't in the mood for Jackass Stetson drama. She just wanted to go home, try and contact Kendall and then go to sleep.
Jett wrapped an arm around her. "Why do you gotta play hard to get Jo," he asked.
Jo shrugged his arm off "Leave me alone Jett," she growled.
"I know that you want me Jo. Why can't you admit it?"
"Because there's nothing to admit asshole. Besides, I'm dating Kendall now."
"You mean the guy who doesn't call you or pays any attention to you?"
"He just lost his sister Jett, cut him some slack." She defended Kendall, the lobby just a few steps away.
"Well he's a failure if he can't even protect his sister," Jett shrugged.
Jo was ready to sucker punch this ass to the moon when the nonmoving unconscious form of one said Kendall Knight appeared in her vision. His sleeves were torn apart, having been cut over and over without stop. His legs was just as bad as his arms and in the middle of his shirt was burned away, leaving a giant second degree burn on his chest, a matching burn on his foot.
"Kenny!" she yelled in shock. What happened to him? Why is he all injured like this? Who did this to him?
Jett gave the form of Kendall a bored look. "You see now Jo? Pathetic and disgusting," he spat out at him. Kendall was his only competition for Jo and now that the two were dating, he needed to do what was necessary for him to get them separated. He wanted Jo and he was gonna get her no matter what.
That's why he agreed to the offer.
Jo glared at him hatefully. "SHUT UP! LEAVE HIM ALONE JETT. DON'T TALK ABOUT KENDALL EVER AGAIN!" she yelled towards the boy. She whipped out her cell phone "I gotta call the hospital,"
Something grabbed her hand, lowering the phone lightly with no force behind it at all. Jo looked to see a barley conscious Kendall looking up at her.
"Please Jo, don't call the hospital. Just get me back to my apartment and I'll be okay." He whimpered/breathed out.
"You're hurt though," Jo cried.
"Please Jo…for me," he asked, trying to lean up toward her but couldn't move too much and fell back to the floor in a thud.
Jo knew what he wanted to do and gave him a kiss. She wrapped her arm around his shoulder and hoisted him up, thankful that she was a black belt in Judo.
"Okay Kenny," she smiled, helping Kendall to his apartment, Jett having been forgotten and left behind.
Speaking of Jett, he turned and walked out to the pool, which was now empty of all residents. He saw a black clothed figure come out of one of the tents.
"This kid is tough," the killer said.
"Can't I just kill him and be done with it?" Jett asked. The killer had contacted him and proposed a chance to be a part of the plan to eliminate Kendall Knight and his friends once and for all. Once he heard that, Jett jumped at the chance to take Kendall out.
"No, I want to see if he can pass these trials before I put him down. That is the whole reason I started all of this anyway." The killer said.
"What are you gonna do now?"
"Eliminate Frankie Wilson and then go after Carlos Garcia. Besides Kendall, these two can be a big problem for me. Frankie, having had experience with me before and Carlos as he holds the answer but just doesn't know it yet."
"Who's first?"
"Wilson, and I think I'll start now." He said, getting a text from another associate and taking off.
Jett watched as he left and left soon after, the only thought on his mind being to kill Kendall.
…
Jo had just finished applying the burnt cream to Kendall's chest, the female blonde having already bandaged up his arms and cleaned his cuts,
"Thanks so much Nurse Josephine Taylor," Kendall thanked with a smirk.
Jo blushed a little at his praise. "My mom is a nurse do I picked something up from her."
"You're just like Logan,"
"It's something we have in common." Jo admitted, sitting down next to him once done. She dug her fingers into his hair "What happened?" she asked.
"I'm sort but I can't tell you that."
"Why not?"
"I just can't Jo. I can't," he lowered his head.
"You're getting hurt too much Kendall, please tell me what's going on."
Kendall stood up from the couch, Jo raising an eyebrow at his action. "You promise not to say anything?" he asked. He just wanted to tell someone and get the whole guilt of lying thing off of his chest for good.
Jo nodded at him "I promise,"
Kendall bent down and picked up the box. "In this box…are trials that the killer sent me," he started.
Jo gasped "So take that in as evidence to the police!"
Kendall shook his head "No, I need to complete these trials Jo. If I do I'll find Katie."
"How do you know he's not lying to you?"
"I completed two so far and got pieces of an address. If I complete all five, I'll find her."
"Is that why you came back all hurt twice in this one day alone?" she asked, Kendall nodding at her. "Stop putting your life in danger Kendall, you'll die."
"I don't care…saving Katie is the only thing I care about right now Jo. I'm tired of seeing my mom cry and I can't deal with the fact that I have a chance to find her and not do anything about it."
Jo stared at the blonde leader of BTR and sighed. He was so determined to save his sister and would do anything about it, even risk his life for her.
"I'm gonna check on you later, don't leave the apartment again today."
"Yes mom," he said sarcastically toward her. He felt her lips press to his cheek before she walked on out.
Jo pulled out her cell and dialed a familiar number.
"Carlos, can I ask you something?"
…
Kendall pulled out the third picture, staring at it with a troubled face.
"Kendall Knight, are you prepared to make a sacrifice to save your sister. 6391 Northern Ave." he read outloud. Waiting a few minutes for Jo to leave, he walked out toward trial number three.
The halfway mark!
End of Chapter 11 of Big Time Brotherly Love
Just because Kendall is about halfway done with the trials doesn't meant this story is halfway done.
Jo is gonna be Carlos' partner along with his dad. I figured Carlos would need someone like her to help him cope with the fact that he killed someone.
We're check in on Logan next, then James and Frankie again, Carlos and Jo, and then Kendall again.
This story from chapter 3 to now is all one day, it's about 6:00 pm in their world.
Next Time: Logan: Most Likely Candidate
