A/N: hey y'all...I'm not feeling too good today, so I had to have the day off school (woop!) so I decided to update, so here it is!:

Missing

Chapter Fourteen

Kevin fell backwards, his back landing on the mattress.

"Yeah…" he said, as he let out a sigh. Katie shook her head, standing up.

"Money?" She said again, pacing around the room. "How much do they want?" Nick shrugged his shoulders, reaching for the phone. He looked at it and shook his head.

"They didn't say how much, they just said they wanted money." He told her, placing the phone back on the bed and standing up. "I bet they want loads!" He exclaimed, flapping his arms around, "They probably want billions and zillions of pounds!" Kevin sat up again, shaking his head at Nick.

"Now Nick, that's just stupid. Zillions?" Kevin asked, shaking his head again. Nick crossed his arms defensively, turning so he was looking at Kevin.

"It could happen!" He told him. Kevin just shook his head again.

"Yeah! In a zillion years!" He replied, "In a zillion billion years!" Katie stopped pacing and turned so she was looking at the two.

"Can you two shut up?" She shouted, crossing her arms. "You both need to stop acting so childish and help me work out what were going to do!" Kevin stood up, also crossing his arms.

"So now I'm childish?" He asked her. She rolled her eyes, un-crossing her arms.

"Sometimes you act like it!" She retorted, stepping closer to him.

"Well maybe I would stop acting so childish if you weren't so darn childish yourself!" He shouted at her. She gaped at him, eyes wide, as she shook her head.

"Maybe I'll leave then." She whispered. Kevin's eyes widened and he stepped closer to her.

"Katie! No! I didn't mean it like tha-"

"Save it for your less childish friends." Katie told him, walking over to the room door and opening it. "I'm sure they'll have a better answer." With that, she walked out the door, leaving Nick and Kevin alone.

Nina panted, as she stopped running. She checked her watch, 17.52, they'd be going to save Joe in four hours. Nina looked around, searching for a sign.

"There!" She whispered to herself, pointing at one of the street signs. "Half a mile…Xeick Street. A ha!" She put her bag on her other shoulder and began running again. She had to tell them before it was too late.

Nick sat on the bed, staring in the direction of Kevin.

"Wow." He said aloud. Kevin's head turned towards him, an angry expression on his face, but a sad one in his eyes.

"What?" He shouted, "What do you want Nicholas?" Nick gulped, shaking his head.

"Nothing" He answered quickly, as Kevin walked over and sat next to him.

"Argh!" Kevin exclaimed, falling back onto his bed. "Life is going so badly for me! First Joe, now Katie! Why?" Nick fell back onto the bed also, turning his head so he was looking at Kevin.

"I…I don't know."

Katie ran down the hallway, clicking the elevators button ten times over, she shook her head. The elevators doors opened and she ran inside, clicking the close button the same number of times as she had done with the open one.

"Kevin…" She whispered, leaning her head back as tears rimmed the corners of her eyes. "Why is life so difficult?"

Kevin turned his head so he was looking at Nick. Before he say anything, the door began knocking.

"I'll get it." Kevin said, standing up and walking over to the door. Opening it, he came face to face with a girl.

"Hello!" She said cheerfully, her face suddenly became straight. "Kevin Jonas?" Kevin groaned, nodding.

"However much I love to see a fan, I'm not in the mood at the moment." He told her. She nodded, her head moving so she could see inside the room.

"Oh! I know! I'm not a fan! Well, I am, but that's not the reason I'm here!" She exclaimed. Kevin shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh, cool…So why are you here?" He asked. She sighed.

"I'm Nina, Nina Hart. I'm the one you talked on the phone with." She paused, gulping. "We need to re-think the plan."

Ooh! What's going to happen to Katie? I have an idea, ooh! That's interesting.

Also, I couldn't find anything to write about Nina running. It sounds easy to write about, but it's not. This chapter was mainly based around Katie and Kevin...It won't always be, or that'll get too boring, but it will sometimes.

P.S. Hm...Who's your least favourite out of the following: Jerry...Henry...Angela...and...Demi (Angela's assitstant)
