A/N: This chapter is going to deal with ONLY Sonny, Jefferson, and Will as they all wait for rescue.
"Is he gone?" Will whispers, fearing the next brutal blow as he braces it to speak.
"Yeah, I think so," Sonny offers, "I'm so sorry about this Will."
"Hey, hey, it's ok love." He says trying to console him, wiggling his fingers just a bit more; so close to breaking free from the confines of the ropes holding him down.
"Sonny, hey, look at me," Will whispers, "This is not your fault. Do you understand me?"
Sonny blinks through the heavy tears threatening to fall and nods, not trusting his voice at the moment.
He gulps and starts, "The other voice, I think is Paul. I think Paul is here. I'm not sure how, but I think it's him."
Will nods, "You're not sure?"
"Not 100% sure, no." Sonny says shaking his head slightly.
"You ok?" Will asks with concern flashing in his eyes.
"Yeah, my head hurts a little; I'm sure being knocked out didn't help it much either."
Will laughs, "Sonny, ever the comedian."
Sonny hummed in response. The was an awkward pause between the two boys; neither quite knowing what to say to the other one to make things better, but neither willing to really stop talking in case it was the last time they ever got to.
"So, what I think I got from this was, Jason isn't as bad as he was made out to be?" Will starts and eyes Sonny from the few feet that separate them.
"At the beginning, no, he wasn't; but he changed somewhere along the way. Where, I'm not sure." Sonny sighs, "He was very kind to me, until my birthday. I honestly think that he was upset that he killed for me, and I didn't invite him to a stupid birthday party because I was ashamed of being gay. I think that's what really changed him and turned him into this monster. Although, the act itself, probably was enough to drive him mad. Imagine killing your own twin?" Sonny almost shivers at the thought. He looks up at Will, noticing he's wiggling around on the floor.
"Were you? Ashamed?" Will asks, wiggling almost free from the confines.
"Ashamed? No. Scared? Very. I didn't know how my family was going to react, so I just closed that part of myself off to them. To everyone really. My mom and dad had no idea that I was gay and there was no way that I was coming out to Uncle Victor. He can be mean when he's pushed..." Sonny stopped taking a deep breath.
"It's ok, you know that right?" Will frees one hand and is frantically trying to free the other.
"We're going to get out of here love; and when we do, I'm taking you away on that vacation you've been dreaming of." He said pulling the other hand from the ropes giving a smile as he anticipates the next pull of his wrist freeing him from the bonds.
"Ah ha! Yes!" Will says as he hurriedly reaches forward to untie his feet.
"Maybe you should stay tied up, loosely but still tied." Sonny says.
Will cocks his head to the side trying but failing to follow Sonny's train of thought.
"Think about it Will. The only way to get out is if the door is opened from the outside. That mirror over there is a two-way mirror. Chances are they already know you're loose from your ropes. If they, for some reason, haven't been watching us and they come back in and you're untied, they may hurt you. We need to wait and use the element of surprise to get the upper hand."
Will nods, "Doesn't mean I have to like it." And slides his hands back into the bindings.
"Tell me about the party. Mom and Aunt Hope have told me about it, but I would like to hear your point of view. That is if you're willing to talk about it." Will carefully asked.
Sonny nodded, "It was my party, you know that. We were at the Broken Heart and I just remember being very happy. Everyone that I love was there celebrating my birthday with me." Sonny pauses to take a deep breath. He closes his chocolate brown eyes and focuses on the happy feeling, and not what he's about to tell. "We were having fun and then there was some noises coming from the front of the bar. I didn't think anything about it, until I saw Jason."
"It's ok Sonny, take your time." Will says encouraging Sonny along.
"By the time I realized that Jason was upset, it was too late. My world came crashing down when he announced to my entire family and friends that I was sleeping with him. I wasn't sure how to react but when E.J. knocked him out, I knew that I'd have to do something soon... So, I did the first thing that came to my mind."
"Deny it all..." Will finishes.
"Deny it all." Sonny confirms. "Except, Jason had already disposed of his twin and got really angry; justifiably so."
"He was justifiable in being upset, but outing you? No one deserves that." Will says as he tries to console the shaking boy sitting beside of him.
"Are you sure I can't come hold you for a minute?"
"No, Will. Stay, we need them to not notice that you're not totally tied down. That may be what gets us out of here."
The door knob jiggles as someone on the other end is putting a key into the lock. Once the final click is heard the door opens and Paul is standing on the other side.
"Paul?" Sonny says horrified, "How are you out?"
"Tut, tut, Jaxson, did I say you could ask questions?"
Will scowls as he slowly pulls one hand out of the ropes, "This day keeps getting better and better." He says to himself.
"Did you wonder little one, how Jefferson survived?" Paul says as he's inspecting his nails on his left hand.
"I didn't think about it..." Sonny whispers looking over to will, fear shinning in both boys eyes.
"Let me take you back to that day, Jaxson, do you remember it?" Paul sneers.
"Very much so," Sonny croaks out.
"It wasn't Jefferson we were going to kill, it was Jason."
Will and Sonny look at each other, Will audibly gulps when Sonny's face turns white as a sheet. "Why?" Was all he could get to come out of his mouth.
"Well, Jaxson, Jason was a weak leader. We needed someone... stronger. With more... finesse if you will." He sneers.
What happens next, Sonny isn't completely sure. One second he was tied up, the next the entire room was filled with a bright light, voices were screaming for him to "Get down." He felt strong hands wrap around him and the world went spinning into darkness.
Will was focusing on Paul describe his plan for Jason while watching Sonny out of his peripheral vision. The door opening caught him off guard; he jumped from his position and quickly made his way over to Sonny while the whole team of police made their way into the room.
"Get down!" He shouted to Sonny as he heard a shot being fired. Someone he'd never met grabbed Sonny quickly as he passed out; another man grabbed him and the group of 4 men hurries out of the room. Panic breaks out in the room between the police and Paul.
What no one counted on, was Jefferson still being in the building.
