Beth was waiting for Kelly and Alisha outside of the community centre. Nathan was inside with Curtis and Simon, trying to get something out of the vending machine. Beth was leaning against the wall right beside the main entrance. Alisha came running up, and grabbed Beth by the parts of her arms covered by her sleeves. She was talking one hundred miles per minutes, making it impossible for Beth to keep up. But what she heard loud and clear was; he's got Kelly. Beth didn't need to be told who, she knew exactly who. Beth rushed inside the centre right behind Alisha.

"Bad news babe, they've fixed the vending machine," Nathan said, opening his cola.

"That guy with the red car and the gun," Alisha started, panting. She must have been running away from the guy when he got Kelly.

"We were just talking about 'im," Nathan said, smirking.

"And he's got Kelly," she said, desperate to catch her breath still.

"Jesus, he's gunna shoot her, and he's gunna kill her." Nathan looked panicked. "I told you he was dangerous. Alright everybody calm down! Just think." Nathan looked around. "Think, and keep calm." Nathan turned to Simon, and grabbed him by the front of his jump suit. "Do something you little freak."

Beth put a hand over her mouth. She was scared to death for her friend. What if that maniac hurt Kelly? Beth would be devastated. Kelly may be a little rough around the edges, but she was good. Her thoughts were halted by the stranger shouting out Conty's name. They all heard it. Beth started breathing erratically.

"He's here," Curtis said.

Slowly, they all followed Curtis' lead of of the lobby and into one of the wings. Beth could faintly hear some low quality techno music, and then suddenly a scream. "Oh Jesus. He's kicking the shit out of her!" Nathan began to run in the opposite direction, which was towards the scream. Beth followed close behind. Nathan kicked open the door, making the music grow much louder. There was no sign of Kelly, but there was some computer game set up. That's what was making those sounds, not the crazy guy. Simon picked up the case that was on the desk in front of the screen.

"He's living the game," Simon said, looking at the case.

"Where'd all this come from?" Curtis asked. Beth was wondering the same thing.

"It was the guy in the mask," Alisha said, still looking at the screen. They all were excluding Simon.

"I'll have a play, I think." Nathan sat down, and turned the game off the the demo mode it had been set to. Immediately, Nathan was started driving away from the police, in a red car.

"He's Jimmy Cisco, he spent ten years in prison for armed robbery. His lover and his crime boss, Conty they double crossed him on his wedding day." Simon had read the back of the game case. Beth never really got into computer games for this very reason. She'd read they can take over your life, but she hadn't thought it meant like this. How was this a superpower?

"Hey, watch me run over this fat bloke," Nathan said, making the character hit an overweight old man. "Run fat boy, run! Awh, he's fucked up my car."

"Nice," Beth said, crossing her arms.

"We need to play his game for real," Simon said, fighting the game for everyone's attention. "If we give him his money, I think he'll let Kelly go."

"So, now, all we need is a hundred grand." Alisha crossed her arms. "Great." Beth thought of her mother for a moment. Her mother had the money to help Kelly. But her mother would never give her that kind of cash. Besides, she was disowned. Can't forget that part.

"We could rob a bank," Simon said quietly. Beth shook her head.

"We'll need a car," Curtis said.

"Yeah okay, let's rob a bank." Nathan was nodding his head.

"What're you doin'?" Shaun asked, leaning on the frame of the door.

"Nothing." Simon looked at his feet quickly. Beth started chewing on her lip.

"Really cause it sounds like you're gunna rob a bank," he said, chewing gum. How could that man always be chewing gum? Doesn't it get annoying?

"No, no, I said... let's have a big wank." Nathan nodded as if he'd actual covered their story well. Beth pinched the bridge of her nose. They were doomed to prison. "Communal masturbation. The old circle jerk."

"Go clean my car," Shaun said, dangling his keys from the hand he was using to lean on the door frame.

"I don't think cleaning your car is what they had in mind when they gave us community service," Nathan said, looking at the keys.

"Well I'm a member of the community and my car needs cleaning. And I don't give a shit."

"We'll go do that right now," Beth said, reaching forward to grab the keys.

Nathan looked at her like she'd grown an extra head. No one wanted to clean this guys car while they had an actual problem to deal with. But here was the probation officer, dangling the keys to his car, right after they'd said they need a car. And Nathan just wasn't getting it.

Once they were all getting into the car however, Nathan seemed to click in. "Oh we're stealing his car. Okay. I get it now. Let's go."

Alisha started driving the car. Beth was squished in between Curtis and Simon. She was the smallest so she got the hump. She wasn't very happy about it. Simon's plan was that he would turn invisible and steal the money from the security van. This was way better than Beth thought it was gunna be. She thought she might be in jail for ten years for armed robbery. But it only took Simon a minute to go into the van and take what they needed.

"How was it?"

"Very easy," Simon said, gripping onto the metal case.

"A bunch of young offenders develop superpowers and not one of us thinks to use them to commit crime? Shame on us," Nathan joked, smacking Beth on the knee gently.

Beth closed her eyes, she had absolutely no interest in seeing where their next destination was. Were they going back to the centre? Probably not. That would be too calm. Alisha saw the red car, and pulled over. Everyone got out of the car, while Beth stayed put. Why did she think she could do this? He had a gun. She had never been so scared in her life. When Beth heard a car horn she jumped in her skin. But when she looked up all she saw was Nathan getting out of that loons red car. Nathan was talking, and kept talking even after he spotted Beth sitting still in the car. He walked over to her.

"Whatcha doin', bub?" Nathan asked, opening the car door and slipping in next to her.

"I'm just meditating a little bit. Praying too." Beth took a breath. "But I'm ready to go now."

"Just stay here," Nathan suggested. He knew she couldn't, but he really wanted her to. He'd die a thousand times in a row if if would keep Beth safe.

Beth shook her head, and gestured him to get out of the car. She followed him out, and wrapped her arms around him tightly. "I love you," she whispered, sighing as she felt him kiss her head and soothe her hair. He whispered the same back, and then they led the others into the warehouse. It seemed deserted, but they heard the click of a gun as Curtis began climbing some stairs. The grip Beth had on Nathan's hand got twenty times tighter as she looked behind her. There was the crazy guy, holding up a gun to them. Kelly was behind him, dangling by her arms. She was wearing some big poofy wedding dress.

"You better have my money," he said, the gun pointed right at Simon.

"Kelly, are you okay?" Beth shouted, looking at her friend.

"Me arms are fuckin' killin' me!" she shouted back.

"Slide it over," 'Jimmy' said, in his normal robotic voice.

Simon crouched down to set it on the ground and slide it to Jimmy. It didn't make it far enough though. It stopped sliding less than halfway across. Simon had to walk up to the case, and try again. It still didn't go as far as Jimmy. Simon gave up on sliding it, and instead he opted to pick it up and hand it over. "Show me," the guy muttered. Simon opened the case to expose all the money hidden within. "Is it true?"

"Is what true?" Simon asked, looking up at the guy from the ground. He was still crouched beside the money. Beth was absolutely terrified.

"You know what I'm talking about. Don't play games with me, Conty."

"All 'e talks is bullocks, all th' time," Kelly shouted.

"Fat Tony says you got an undercover cop in your organization," Jimmy said, staring at Simon with those dead eyes. Beth felt sick. She was going to throw up.

"See, that's why I don't play computer games. They never bloody end!" Nathan was whispering to Beth. She smacked him, and continued to watch the horror unfold. Nathan put his arms around her tightly, and tried to tuck her behind him. She still peeked around him.

"Who's the cop?"

"No one," Simon tried, but it only got Simon pistol whipped in the head. Beth took a step back as she watched Simon's body fall unconscious. Jimmy pointed the gun at the rest of them.

"Anything funny and you die," he said. "I don't mind killing all of you. I'll get the cop that way."

Beth walked over, and whimpered as her hand was forced away from Nathan. Along with the rest of them, Beth was tied to a chain and was forced to dangle by her wrists. She could only imagine the pain Kelly was in, because Beth just got up there and her arms hurt. "I'm going to my car to get a chainsaw, and when I get back, you're going to tell me which on of you is the undercover cop." He walked off.

"Nice one, brilliant fuckin' rescue."

"No chance for a rewind then?" Nathan asked. "Get your boyfriend to sort it out."

"Uh, he's not my boyfriend." Alisha said.

"We split up, alright?" Curtis looked ahead of him, clearly not interested in the conversation. "Where's that prick in the mask when we need him?" It was a valid question.

Nathan then began to try and swing himself enough that he would come right off the hook keeping them up. He was loudly trying to build momentum, and when that failed he tried to use unconscious Simon as a climbing tree. All that did was wake up Simon. Nathan continued to do this until a girl fell onto the floor. Out of nowhere. Beth stared at her in confusion.

"Why are you hanging from meat hooks?" she asked, looking between them.

Nathan answered, "This is some of the weird shit I was telling you about."

"Isn't that the girl who's flat we broke into?" Kelly asked. Nathan looked shocked. Beth did hear from Kelly that he shit on the poor girls bed. Beth did recognize her. She wasn't caught at the flat, but she did walk past that girl on the street.

"The new guys heart got transplanted into her, she's got his power." And Curtis hadn't told them this, why?

"I guess that makes sense," Nathan said, trying to work it all out in his head.

"You," she said, closing in on Nathan.

"Hi," he said. "Sorry about uh, you know."

"Shitting in my bed?"

"Yeah, wrong flat." Idiot.

"I think you're supposed to rescue us," Simon said, clearly having his head on straight.

The girl tried pulling on the first chain she saw but nothing happened. When they heard Jimmy coming, they were quick to try and rush her out of here. But she didn't have control over her power. Nathan just had to make some snarky remark about it too. Beth was going to give him a good piece of her mind if she lived through this.

"Who are you?" Jimmy asked, walking into the room again.

"It's complicated."

Jimmy pulled a gun on her, and did something that surprised no one. He tied her to a meat hook, and cast her up with the rest of them. Jimmy started his chainsaw, and paced a couple times before choosing his first victim. He stopped at Alisha, and brought her down. She was pleading for her life. Once Alisha was off the hook, Nathan yelled for Jimmy to wait.

"Alright, alright it's me," Nathan said. Beth snapped her head in his direction. Did he just say that? Who's to say dismemberment isn't a way to for sure kill him? "I'm the undercover cop. So fire up the chainsaw and get with the sawing. And I'd appreciate it if you did it quickly and cleanly." Beth teared up. She knew he would come back, but that didn't mean she wanted to see him sawed into pieces. She had to do something. Concentrating solely on the chainsaw, or more specifically the screws on the chainsaw, she willed them to turn. After a moment of him staring at Nathan, the machine fell apart in his hands, clambering to the floor loudly as all the pieces fell in different places.

"Wait," Curtis said before kicking Jimmy in the face. "Run! Run!"

Alisha took of running as Jimmy staggered. Jimmy followed after her, with his gun in his hand. Once Jimmy was out of sight, Beth never saw him again. Alisha won't talk about what happened, or how it was resolved. She claims she was in shock, and can't remember.

"How are your arms?" Nathan asked, pulling Beth into a hug. Beth had managed to get them down, by moving all the chains with her mind. She was getting good at this. After everyone was down, Beth became rather tired.

"They hurt but, I'm alive so." Beth smiled. Nathan kissed her, and held onto her hand tightly. She hit him hard in the chest. "Don't ever let someone hack you apart! You can't keep getting killed, baby. What if you don't come back."

"Have I ever left you alone? No, and I don't plan on it sunshine." Nathan started walking with the rest of the group out of the warehouse. "Together forever, bub."
