Up till now, Billy and Josh managed to admit their feelings and come clean about the feelings for the other. Alas fate having other plans lets Josh be kidnapped by the duo of Chris Masters and Paul London. Billy is worried like hell. Now on with the show.
"Damn them!" Billy wept. "Why can't they leave me alone? I'm so fucking tired of dancing around them being worried that the next moment I'm going to have a knife in my back."
"Hush now, love", Torrie said, as she took Billy's head between her hands and raising his teary gaze to her own, "I promise we'll find him. I swear we will. We'll get him back safe and sound."
Billy closed his eyes, pained at hearing his friend's last sentence. Shaking his head in denial, his raises his hands to take hold of Torrie's, "You don't know what they'll do to him. Torrie, Paul threatened me in the ring during the match when I went bezerk! He told me that when he got his hands on Josh he'll make both of us regret it for the rest of lives! Torrie, he's going to hurt Josh very badly. I just know it."
Torrie's breath caught in her throat at the terror she saw in Billy's eyes while he spoke.
"Gods! What are they going to do to him?" She thought in horror, fresh tears leaking from her eyes as she tightly hugged Billy closer in attempt to give him some sort of comfort in his despair for the loss of his happiness.
"Man oh man, what I wouldn't give to see Kidman's face right now!" Chris laughed. Paul could only smile and chuckle somewhat because of the pain in his nose. "Maybe the blubbering idiot might be wailing his head off and causing a racket", Paul chimed in. Josh sat silently in the back watching the two in front laugh and chuckle over the mayhem they already caused.
'God knows what they'll do to me. Why, why is this happening? Billy and I don't deserve this Hell'. Josh thought as tears caressed his cheeks as they made their way down his face to be absorbed by the gag in his mouth.
"You know Mathews, there is a lot of fun waiting for you. You're gonna enjoy every single fucking moment and later on we're gonna drag that fat ass boyfriend of yours into our little party."
'Oh noooooo', Josh moaned internally. 'Please anyone who might be listening, please don't let them hurt Billy'. He silently prayed to God as the car carried them to their destination.
"Billy, we'll call the police. If we act now we can get him back." Torrie tried to shake some sense back into her dear Billy.
"Torrie," Billy let out with a hopeless sigh. "I've been with Paul. If anyone has any clue of his vindictive nature it's me. If we get the police in this, he'll hurt Josh even more."
"But we can't just sit here and do nothing, Billy. Josh needs us now more then ever and you're giving up. How could you? I thought you cared for him!" Torrie yelled at him.
"Don't you ever dare say that I don't care for Josh" Billy countered, anger visible in his gestures. "I know Paul, Torrie. He wants to get back at me for that screwed up match and for that he's taken Josh hostage. He plays dirty, I know that, but I can't endanger Josh by acting on my impulses."
"Then what do you propose we do? Hhhmmmmm?" Torrie questioned.
"We wait for them to contact us," Billy replied, the tension and worry for Josh nearly draining him.
Torrie just sighed. A knot of emotions stuck in her throat. Fear, worry, terror and immense sadness for the condition of her two favorite people and anger at the fates for putting them through this agony. She silently got up from the floor. Billy looked up at her. She held out her hand to help Billy rise to his feet.
"Well if we're going to wait, I guess that it's better if we get out of here. We're going to my place. Make sure that you have your stuff and cell phone."
Billy looked grateful at Torrie's offer. He wasn't sure if he could go back to the apartment which he shared with Josh. Sleep alone in their bed. Staying with Torrie would help keep him focused.
"Let's go", Billy said as he began to pick up his duffel bag along with Josh's.
Smack! The punch delivered was powerful enough to break his jaw. His head whipped to the right with the force of the blow, blood pouring from his nose and cut lips. His tormentors had been pummeling and beating the shit out of him for two hours straight. His face was swollen and bruised. The right eye was swollen shut. A cut over his left eye was bleeding, the bleeding trail making it difficult for him to see anything. His ribs hurt, every muscle in his body was screaming out in protest to the torture being inflicted on them.
Josh woke up the next morning with a massive headache. He wanted nothing more at that point in time then a bottle of aspirin. Most of the swelling had gone down and he could open both eyes, but the bruises were still there. He couldn't hold his head or his stomach, which was hurting really bad, since his hands were still tied together in back of him. He couldn't cry out because he still had the gag in his mouth. He then noticed that the bed was empty though. Were could they have gone? He wondered.
He was in the room for about another hour or so, just waiting to see when the two would be back. Then after a few more minutes the door opened. Josh was praying it was room service, but since they didn't knock it could only mean that Paul and Chris were back.
"Hey," Paul shouted in a chipper mood, "how are you doing?"
Josh just gave him a mean looking glare for an answer.
"Well I have good news," Paul told him.
Josh looked up at him in curiosity.
"We are not going to be beating the shit out of you for the rest of the week," Paul still sounding way to happy, "No, in fact we are going to untie you, but that's were your good news ends, because now we are going to lock you in the closet. We can't have room service find you. Also if you're thinking about screaming or pounding to attract attention, I wouldn't. See while you were asleep I got some good pictures of you."
Josh's eyes grew wide as he heard this.
"Yes, I did. So one wrong move and they go out on a mass e-mail through out the WWE and all of my friends and people who view my website," Paul said while laughing.
Now Josh was horrified. Paul and Chris then picked him up and shoved him in the closet.
"You should be safe in there, we actually want you to look good for this up coming show," Paul said still laughing. Then both he and Chris left the room.
Billy and Torrie could hardly sleep the past week. On their mind was Josh. They were both hoping and praying that he was alright.
On the night of their next show both Billy and Torrie got there early. They knew that Paul and Chris would be there, they didn't really know what getting there soon would do, but they didn't really care. Neither of them had a match that night so all the focus was on finding Josh.
The night went on and Billy finally saw Paul. Only thing he was watching him go down to the ring.
"Billy," Paul started, "I know your watching this. Now I know you want Josh back, I mean hey, he makes you happy or whatever. Well Chris has him backstage somewhere, and no, I will not tell you where. You see, you, me, and Chris are going to have a match. A ladder match. Now you're thinking well what the hell, why a ladder match? Well because, this is going to be the first ever ladder match were a living person will be hung above the ring, instead of an item." Paul had a big smile on his face when he said this.
Billy looked into the screen with shock. His eyes were so wide they were about to pop out.
"Yeah that's right Billy. We are going to hang Josh Mathews above the ring and whoever gets to him first, well the rest is self explanatory." Paul had the biggest smile ever. He really thought that this was a good idea.
Billy shut off the TV and just fell hard onto a chair. He could not believe that Josh was going to be hung at least twenty feet above the ring. If not higher. Oh god how am I going to do this?
