"Your boyfriend really doesn't have a brain does he? No wonder Todrick cast him as the scarecrow in the Wizard of Ahh's." Mike Taylor says.
"He's a lot smarter than you." Mitch says. "Besides he was speaking from the heart which is more than I can say about you. Do you even have a heart, Mike?" Mitch tells him. He flinches as Mike goes to slap him.
"Fuck! Philip DeFranco must have heard what is going on because he's got a whole fucking video on it." Joey says.
"I'm not surprised. How about Scarce? Drama Alert?" Felix asks.
"All of the above and then some. Justine, Ingrid, they all have videos talking about it and talking to us." Louis says.
"Keemstar is offering his assistance." Sam says. "He is one crazy fucker."
"You two have a lot in common then." Link says. Sam glares at him.
"What did you say?" Sam asks.
"You heard me. He's crazy, you're crazy. You two have a lot in common." Link says. Sam starts to walk towards Link when Joe runs into the room.
"Turn the TV on. Mark is about to talk." Joe says. Sam turns on the TV grabbing the remote tossing it to Louis. This catches Jack, Nanners, and Matt's attention.
"This is Jaycee reporting live from the London Police Department. Mark Fischbach or better known online as Markiplier is about to speak. Let's hear what he has to say."
"Hi, everyone, I am not going to talk to the kidnappers, instead I think I'll talk to my lovers. Matt, I know they have you, and I'm sure you are freaking out but just know that you are stronger than you think. Adam or should I say Nanners, I know you are probably trying to protect everyone, but don't forget to look after yourself. And Jack, my Jack, I will find you. I will get you back and when I do those bastards are going to pay for what they have done. I love all of you so much. Stay strong; think of me when it gets too hard. I'm thinking of you." Mark says sniffling, "Thank you."
"Well wasn't that sweet?" Joey says scoffing.
"Mathias is there with him. Did you see him, Adam?" Jack says to Adam. Adam smiles nodding. Cry goes over to MatPat kicking him in the stomach. "Stop it! Didn't you already hurt him?"
"He deserves more." Ken says.
"Fuck you! Fuck all of you! I can't believe you would give up what you have right now for just a little bit of revenge. You all are pieces of shit!" Jack screams.
"I don't like the way you are talking to me right now." Ken says pulling Jack by the shirt closer to his face. "You want to admit you aren't better than me? Or my lovers?"
"Fuck you." Jack says spitting in Ken's face.
"You are going to regret that, asshole." Ken says wiping the spit off his face. He kicks Jack in the stomach catching the smaller man off guard. Ken forces Jack on all fours. Ken takes off his belt. "This is going to go a lot better if you say what I want."
"Jesus Christ, just let him go!" Adam yells at Ken.
"Shut it, Nanners. You are next." Felix says.
"Start filming, Harley." Ken says.
"I…I don't know if that's such a good idea." Harley answers him. Sam takes the camera from Harley.
"Pussy." Sam says. Harley just scoffs walking out of the house nobody noticing that he takes his phone with him. The rest of the kidnappers preoccupied with other things, Sarah handing Anthony a kitchen knife.
"Thank you, Sam." Ken says. "Now, Jack, will you please say you are not better than me and my friends? Or better yet why don't you say that your lover boy Mark isn't better than us?"
"No!" Jack yells biting his lip. Ken clicks his tongue striking Jack in the back with the belt, Jack cries out in pain not expecting it.
"Stop! Please just stop!" Connor screams at them. Jesse goes over to him punching him in the jaw.
"Shut it! And wait your fucking turn!" Jesse says.
"Jack, just say it. Say you are just like the rest of us. You don't really love the fans. You aren't really thankful for them. And you just do this for the money."
"You just can't get over the fact that the fans like us better." Jack says. Ken clenches his fist striking Jack in the back again and again and again.
"Say it!" Ken screams. Jack shakes his head no, his resiliency really coming through earning another fifteen blows to the back.
"Just say it, Jack. Please." Adam pleads with him.
"I won't. I just won't do it." Jack says his voice full of pain and anguish.
"SAY IT!" Ken says. He strikes Jack again, blood starting to pour off his back.
"I…I'm not." Jack tries to say.
"What was that?" Cry asks.
"I'm not better than you or Felix or Cry." Jack says choking back tears.
"Thank you." Ken says uncuffing Jack from the wall. Jack collapses onto the floor sobbing. "You hear that, fans? Best you just move on to bigger and better things. Us." Ken says to the camera dropping the belt.
"Please tell me we are going to post it?" Sam asks excitedly.
"Of course we are." Ken says taking the camera from Sam.
"Can we record yours too, Jesse?" Sam asks.
"I don't see why not." Jesse says. Connor gulps closing his eyes tightly. Phil and Anthony had whittled away at their plastic handcuffs with the knife Sarah had given them. Joe, Joey, Troye and the rest of the kidnappers were somewhere in the house and Walk Off the Earth just left for the kitchen not wanting anything to do with this. Anthony stands up tackling Jesse to the ground. Phil is stopped by Sam but is able to get the upper hand, tripping him, sitting on top of Sam's stomach. Anthony is punching Jesse in the face repeatedly. The commotion catching the other kidnapper's attention as they race down the stairs. Mark Douglas, one half of Barely Political, pulls out a gun and pulls the trigger stopping everyone in their tracks. Douglas points the gun at Phil's head.
"Get off of him." Douglas says.
"Easy there, Doug." Todd tells his husband. "Put the gun down. They aren't going to do anything else. Isn't that right, Philly? Anthony?" Anthony drops the knife putting his hands up in defense. Phil doing the same. "Have at them Joey, Joe." Harley walks into the house punching Todd in the face knocking him out cold.
"What the fuck, Harley?!" Douglas screams checking on his husband.
"It's over. Shay is calling the cops as we speak." Harley says.
"Excuse me?" Joe asks.
"The cops have been called." Harley says.
"If I uncuff you all do you promise not to run? We won't be shy to use the gun." Douglas says.
"We won't run." Nanners says.
"Okay." Todd says taking the knife going around cutting each one of their plastic handcuffs. "We are going to be in the next room so we will hear and see everything."
"We can't exactly run with Jack like this. We aren't going to run and we certainly wouldn't leave him with you." Mitch says.
"Sarah, stay here." Gianni tells her.
"You got it." Sarah says.
"Are we really getting out of this?" Connor asks "I mean they have a gun. They could just kill us."
"They aren't killers." Hank says, "That's kind of obvious."
"Still though." Connor says.
"We agreed on letting you all live." Sarah says interjecting into the conversation. "Are they okay?" She asks Nanners. Nanners nods both of his partners on either side of him. "Is there any music they like? It might help."
"They like Calum Scott. It's our song…Jack played it for us on our first date as a foursome. It's called Dancing on My Own." Nanners says.
"He was on Britain's Got Talent, right?" Sarah asks.
"Yeah, he got the golden buzzer from Simon Cowell." Phil says. Sarah pulls out her phone opening the YouTube app. She turns up the volume putting the phone on Nanners lap.
"Thanks." Nanners says. The kidnapped notice the arguing coming from behind the kitchen door. The door slams open, Felix angrily stomps out. He makes his way over to MatPat. Nanners stands up in front of Matt protectively. "You aren't fucking touching him." Felix growls pushing Nanners to the floor punching him in the face repeatedly. Cry goes over and pulls Felix off of Nanners.
"Come on, Felix enough." Cry says holding onto a fuming Felix.
"FUCK!" Felix screams.
"I know. I know." Cry says, "But you got to calm down. We have to trust Joe."
"He's got a plan." Ken says kissing Felix hard on the mouth to calm him down.
"Fine. But before we get caught…I want Anthony." Felix says. Anthony looks up at him eyes full of fear. Troye steps in between Felix and Anthony not allowing Felix to go any further. "What the fuck, Sivan?!"
"Come on. You know what happened last time! I didn't realize how serious you guys were about all of this!" Troye says pushing Felix.
"Get the fuck out of my way." Felix says angry. Troye pushes Felix again, this time Felix punches Troye straight in the jaw. Troye holds his jaw, Joey not reacting as if he didn't even care that his boyfriend was being hit.
"You stupid prick!" Troye yells.
"What did you call me?" Felix asks.
"You heard me. Just fucking leave them alone."
"Stop it! This isn't helping!" Connor yells standing up. "Come on, we all used to be friends. You can't hate us that much."
"I suggest you sit back down." Douglas says.
"And what are you going to do? You think you are so bad but you aren't! There is something wrong with some of you but you aren't all bad." Connor says.
"Leave it, Connor." Troye says.
"No, I'm not going to leave it!" Connor says. Troye goes over to Connor to try and reason with him.
"Please, Connor, just leave it. He isn't going to hurt you. He's a coward." Troye says. Just as he turns around, Douglas fires his gun, shooting Troye in the right side of his abdomen. Troye falls to the ground, Connor pulling him into his lap.
"Stay with me, Troye." Connor says. "Please just stay with me." Connor looks down at Troye, it was as if the people in the room disappeared and it was just them. "You aren't like them. I promise, if you survive this, I will get you out of this. I will protect you and I can…we can be together. Me and you and anyone else you want to be with. As long as I'm with you. We can start over, together."
"Promise…promise you'll remember me?" Troye says.
"What, no, no, you aren't going to die. You can't! You have to fight. Fight for me." Connor says tears falling down his face. "I love you, Troye! I love you."
"I…I do too. I love you too." Troye says. Joey picks him up, Connor not far behind. Joey puts Troye in the backseat of the car. "Joey, come."
"I can't, Sarah and Connor are going with you. We weren't meant to be. This is the only way for you to be saved." Joey says kissing the top of Troye's head.
"But what about you?" Connor asks.
"I deserve it. I deserve to go to jail." Joey says, "Troye doesn't. Just, promise me you will love him and treat him well. You and Ricky both."
"I promise, Joey." Connor says. Joey nods shutting the door. He knocks on the driver side window, Sarah drives off, leaving Joey in the driveway, his lover's blood on his hands and clothes.
A/N: I have since realized that I was wrong to pick Troye as an evil character, he's so sweet and tiny and cute. I have kind of fell in love with him to be honest. I'm sorry if this shocked you but I had to do something big, and it isn't the only shock you are going to get so strap in for the last few chapters of the first part of this series. I plan on writing two other installments of this Case of the Missing YouTuber series. Hope you liked it! If you do don't be afraid to post a comment or give some kudos.
