Author's Note (Monster): Hello, our lovelies! I'd be excited about posting this chapter if it weren't for my computer. The old thing's slowly breaking down so posting this, took me a full fucking hour... wouldn't even load. Anyway, I'm trying my best to do something for the October Countdown, the day after tomorrow I'll probably post a songfic called Watch Me Burn (Silent Theory). If you don't know that song, I suggest checking it out. Though I might do Fragile Minds instead of Watch Me Burn depending on my mood. Excuse me for any typos but the lagging text forgets some of my letters sometimes. Replies to the reviews below. Enjoy!


Previously on Kidnapped;

Da Kurlzz awoke in the hospital to hear Charlie would need surgery to fully recover from his burns. Now the guys can only hope for the best.

Charlie was alive and he would recover. That sole sentence caused the boys to breathe in relief and smile at each other for the first time since they'd got there. Soon Da Kurlzz was fired from the hospital so he could sit and wait in the chair in front of Charlie's room. The five spent their time chattering small talk and playing card in the corridor. Charlie was currently under the knife.

"I can't wait to hug him", the screamer muttered as he played a neat card onto the table. Danny cussed between his teeth and leaned over to see Funny Man's cards.

"Hey!" the Mexican yelped and pulled away his cards.

The lead singer pouted. "I'm your boyfriend! We share everything!"

"Except for my cards!" Funny Man complained, then turned to Da Kurlzz. "Yeah, I can't wait to see him smile again. Then I'll know for sure he's OK."

"Don't cry victory too soon, guys. I don't want to get our hopes crushed if any complications come up", Johnny sighed as he played his card.

J-Dog played his own card and scoffed. "Charlie's strong. He'll survive anything. Don't be so negative."

"I'm just realistic", Johnny defended.

Da Kurlzz hummed a soft tune. "I think Charlie and I might get married on a non-Hollywood Undead song."

"No shit! We don't have sappy love songs!" Danny commented while rolling his eyes. Funny Man hushed his boyfriend with a grip around his waist while checking out his cards. "What song did you have in mind?"

"Never Stop by Safetysuit", Da Kurlzz grinned slightly.

J-Dog bit his tongue not to make a bad comment. "That song is so fucking sappy."

"How long is he gonna be in there?" J-Dog asked, looking up from his cards.

"They should be done soon and then they're gonna let Charles wake up", Da Kurlzz dreamt with a huge smile.

"Unless", Johnny began but the guys finished it for him. "Complications yeah yeah."

The blue masked rapper felt uneasy. He didn't dare to be positive, too scared it might fuck up their joy and something bad might happen to the rapper…

A few hours later they could finally see Charlie but he wasn't awake just yet. He could wake up any minute. The first one to enter, was Matt of course. He dragged a chair towards the bed and held the rapper's hand. He looked beaten. Both of them did. Charlie seemed so weak in his current state, scarring covering his body but other than that, he seemed fine. The cut on his forehead was patched up as well.

Danny and Funny stood by his feet. "I hope he wakes up soon."

"So do I", Matt murmured in response. "I want him to tell me he's fine. I just can't shake the feeling I almost lost him."

"It could take a while before he wakes up. We should go get something to eat. It's dinner time", Johnny offered but Matt turned his head to Charlie. "You guys go. I'll stay with Charlie in case he wakes up."

The four of them left him with his bedbound boyfriend. Matt stared at Jordon's face. So weak, yet so peaceful. It was almost like he was sleeping…

"You know… It's ironic how this always seems to happen when we're finally doing alright. Danny's out of the hospital and now you're in one. Though I can't complain. We've had a full week without drama. I guess it would've been too good to be true to end it like this. A happy ending. Something just had to happen at one point, right? But why did it have to be you? If only you hadn't gone back to that stupid bus…"

"Kurlzz?"

The drummer turned around, facing the singer in the doorway. "Hey."

Danny took cautious steps inside, feeling like an intruder. "I… I need to tell something to someone. I just need to get it off my chest because it's killing me."

"What is it?" Matt asked confused.

Danny pulled up a chair and sat down next to the drummer. "When I was in the psych ward, I met Shady, you know? Shady was a good guy to me. He was helpful, understanding and shit but he hated you guys because of my story. He kept saying I should set you guys on fire. He's a pyromaniac, you see? But he kept saying stuff like… that I should set you guys on fire or make you guys explode or whatever, you know? Do you think that he…?"

Da Kurlzz inhaled sharply. "I don't know, Danny. You should talk to the cops about this stuff. They'll see what they can do for us."

"Yeah but well… The cops never did anything for us. You guys found me before they did so maybe we just… need to check this out for ourselves."

Matt ducked his head in a sigh. "I know you mean well, Danny, but I'm kinda busy worrying about the life of my partner here…"

"I know… I'm sorry", Danny sighed as he got up and left the room again. Da Kurlzz felt bad about turning down the singer like that but he couldn't worry about some old bandmember wanting to set them all on fire. He couldn't think about how he might be out to kill them… chase them down, hunt them down, kill them one by one until only Danny was left. Jesus, fuck, maybe Danny was right and they'd have to take matters into their own hands. "Danny!?"

"What?" the singer peeked his head around the corner.

"Just take your story to the cops. If they won't do shit, we will."

"Thanks", he smiled, eyes growing bigger before pointing at Charlie. "Matt, look."

The drummer whipped his head around to look at the bandana rapper who moved his head side to side, eyebrows furrowed. He was waking up.

"Call a doctor!"

Danny hurried outside, calling nurses and a doctor because their friend was waking up. He headed downstairs to find the others in the cafeteria as well.

"Charlie, calm down", Matt hushed his partner when his eyes shot open, a panicked look in it. He was probably as disoriented as Matt had been when he woke up. He squeezed his hand firmly. "You've had an accident but it's fine. You're alive."

The rapper slowed down, taking a moment to look at the drummer when the nurses and doctor walked in, removing the tube and checking vitals. He seemed to be doing fine so they quickly left again, the guys now entering the room. Matt smiled at Charlie. "Are you alright?"

"I think so", the rapper smiled back at him. "What happened?"

"The bus exploded. You were in it. I'm so fucking happy you're alright."

"I'm happy to be alive", Charlie murmured. "How'd I get out?"

"I dragged you out", Matt responded, squeezing his hand again and leaning his chin on his shoulder on the bed. "I was so scared I'd lose you."

"Even when I just woke up, you're still a fag", the rapper laughed, Matt's face turning sour. "Why would you say that?"

"You're looking at me like I'm your fucking boyfriend", Charlie commented. "It's kinda gay how you look like you're about to kiss me."

"Charlie…"

"And who the hell is that dude?" Charlie asked, pointing at Danny. Danny squeaked in surprise, shielding himself behind Funny. "I'm the singer of HU…"

"No, you're not. Deuce is. Where is he?"

"What the hell is going on?" Matt panicked, looking at the guys who seemed equally as confused.

Johnny stared at Charlie. "Dude, what year is it?"

"What kind of a question is that? I was in an accident, not in a time machine. It's still 2008, you know."

Matt shook his head. "No… No way…"

"He lost his memory", Johnny murmured to the guys as they all stared at the oblivious Charlie.


Please Review, they're our heavy fuel. Come on, don't tell me you didn't see this one coming from afar.

HUshipper: I liked that story but I totally forgot what it was about except for the burns and the Deuce stalking?

Krash-n-Ace: It was pretty awesome.
