Hey guys, sorry I didn't get to post, the program that I used to write my stories before I put them here kind of freaked out and it didn't want to let me in so I couldn't do anything. But now I got it fixed and her is the next chapter! I'm somewhat disappointed, these chapters here are much shorter than my other ones, but oh well.

REVIEWS! Jeez, you guys have been reviewing so much and it's wonderful I love it!

sm2003495: Yep, is anything really good for the Hardy Boys? They always have it rough...

Barb: I'm glad you liked it hopefully I can actually post things on time and finish this in a reasonable amount of time.

Cherylann Rivers: Thanks! Everything's better with humor, and I love jokes and being sarcastic so I try to insert it into everything. And a little suspense at the end always throws people off wanting more! Thanks for reviewing!

Guest: I will try to post as often as I can. Whump is my favorite also.

Alrighty, thanks all you guys for reviewing! And please continue, because reviews are great.

One last thing I forgot to mention, one, this story will have lots of brotherly fluff because I love Joe whump and Frank freaking out about it, and also I didn't put a disclaimer in here. DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING! I wish though...


Joe wearily watched the man standing in front of him. His slicked-back black hair stood out against his unnaturally pale face. A black mustache poked out above his lips, curling around the edges. Grey eyes stared down cold and merciless at his two captives. Hands clasped behind his back, he paced back in forth between the two of them.

"My name is Antonio Martinez. You have no idea how long I have waited for this. For revenge. For-"

His speech was cut off by a loud dramatic sigh from Joe, rolling his eyes. "Yes, we know, we've been through this spiel a thousand times. Our dad did something to hurt you or your family, because you did something bad, and you're going to get revenge. Tony-do you mind if I call you Tony? We've been through this so many times, and every one is the same."

"A little bit of poking around for answers, some torture, then they try to kill us, but we escape and get away, and you spend the rest of your lives in jail." Joe finished and winced.

Joe turned to Frank and stage whispered, "Remind me not to talk to much again, it still makes my head hurt." Frank nodded, but was smiling. His little brother just stood up to Antonio. Joe smirked and turned back to Antonio, who was waiting for him.

As soon as the two made eye contact, Antonio backhanded Joe across the face. He got right up next to Joe, their faces inches apart. "I am special. I am the only one who will succeed. Smart mouth."

Joe glared at him and spit some blood out of his mouth, leaving a small streak at the corner of his mouth. Frank tensed and pulled against the ropes tying him to the chair. "Don't touch him," he growled.

Antonio turned to Frank and smiled. "Ooh, protective older brother, I like it." His expression turned dark as he pulled out a small switchblade and flipped it open. Frank's mouth turned into a scowl and he pulled harder. Joe sat unmoving in his chair, watching the knife with his eyes.

Antonio walked around Joe's chair, flipping the knife in his hand. "So tell me, Frank. Is it true, that you can feel his pain?" Antonio lunged forward with the knife, aiming for Joe's stomach, but stopping centimeters away from the skin.

Joe let out a small sigh of relief and stared at his brother, who looked like he was trying to burn a hole in Antonio's skull with his eyes.

Antonio paused for a second, before lashing out and catching Joe's cheek with the knife, leaving a thin trail of blood. Joe hissed against the burning, and Antonio laughed. Frank was furious, ready to break out any second and snap Antonio's neck. "I swear, you do one more thing to him, you will-" Frank threatened, but Antonio held up his hand and cut Frank off.

"Mr. Hardy, I will do no such thing, I've had my fun." Frank was almost relieved until he saw that nasty grin appear. He made a hand motion and two buff guards appeared from the shadows and were at his side instantly.

"My friends here, well, let's just say they haven't had fun in a very long time."
