Let This Be The End

Ashley awakened, choking. She couldn't breathe and she felt like she had been kicked in the ribs. She took a deep breath. CRACK! God that hurt, what was that?

"Shar, you okay? I heard something crack there..." Troy's voice came from across the room, Sharpay tried to look over to see his face but her vision was blurred, everything was fading in and out and even though she knew better of herself, she felt a few hot tears come down. The pain, the agony, the fear and the tension was just too much.

"Troy... how long is this going to take? I want to go home. I can't take this anymore."

Troy longed to give her a hug, shush her and tell her it was all going to be alright and it killed him that he couldn't. He couldn't tell her everything was going to be okay because he didn't know that it would be himself either. Sharpay was afraid for her life, and for Troys' life. This wasn't fair what had they ever done?

--

Ryan and Gabriella didn't know what to do, they were at a wits end. Sharpays mother had heard and was flying over, along with that Richard Fleeshman guy who was a British TV star. Ashley's old flame apparently, he remembered reading about him but he doubted Richard would be the first person she wanted to see when she got out. He couldn't believe only a few days ago they had all been laughing and joking and messing around and now... this was going on. Your entire life could be ruined in one minute.

"I just don't know what to do. What if they never find her? What if they never find either of them?!" Ryan panicked, the thought was in everyones head and he knew it.

"Don't think like that." Gabriella stroked the back of his neck, "You know they'll be found. You managed to get to her before and you can do it again."

"That was in Albuquerque, it was a case of Zeke's basement there. Here we're in LA, face it she could be anywhere. The amount of time it's taken she could be anywhere in the world right now. It's a completely different situation."

Gabriella was lost for words. He was right. Mr and Mrs Bolton had called to say they were on their way up, Chad and Taylor were coming, everyone was going to be here. Even Ryan and Sharpays dad was coming to LA to help.

--

"Oh god. Oh god oh god." Sharpay groaned as she awakened finally. Troy was by her side now, how had he managed that? How had he been untied? She was confused.

"Troy what's going on?" She asked and he shushed her.

"I managed to wriggle my hands free after a while. I just might have scars from the rope burn." He laughed but she felt guilty.

"Oh Troy... If it weren't for me you wouldn't even be in this situation..." She began.

"Don't you say that. I'm glad I'm here, otherwise I'd be out there worrying. I would rather be with you."

"Really?"

Troy smiled, "Really."

Sharpay smiled and she gave him a kiss on the cheek. She had actually forgotten about Troy's predicament, stuck in his boxers. The sweat glistened on his chest and left muddy trails down towards his stomach... six pack. Had he been working out?! She blushed. This was so not what to think of at the moment.

"Er... anyway. Where are the guards?" She asked and looked up at him.

"They went out, I don't know where. But Zeke was with them. We're alone. We could escape!" He said hopefully and quickly began to untie Sharpay.

However once he had and they turned around, read to make their way out of the room they were in, the place had been so heavily guarded. They probably thought there would be no chance of them escaping. Troy grabbed a rock from the ground.

"What's that for?" Sharpay asked and rotated her wrists and ankles, happy to be free. Like Troy, she had terrible rope burn.

"We might need a weapon and this is the best we have." He explained and they left the room. Sharpay let out a really loud gasp when they came face-to-face with a guard.

But he wasn't doing anything. He was just standing against the wall with a gun in his hand. He was asleep.

"Oh thank God." Sharpay breathed and held a hand to her heart. Troy let go of her hand and looked at the rock. He looked at Sharpay and then at the guard. As if contemplating something. He knew he couldn't risk having one more after them, and that's why he raised his hand and brought it crashing down on the guards head. Sharpay shrieked.

"What the fuck did you do that for?!" She said and watched the guard crumple to the ground. She thought she was going to throw up. So did Troy actually.

"I couldn't risk having one more after us, having one more after you." He said and kissed her hand before reaching from the gun.

Sharpay smiled at Troy, it was sweet.. in a twisted way.

"Now we have a gun." He said with a grim look on his face. "Now come on, let's try and get out of here."

--

"Oh Ryan... baby Mommy's here." Mrs Tisdale said as Ryan cried into her chest, her flight had just got in at LAX and Gabriella and Ryan had gone to meet her. "Sharpay will be found soon."

Gabriella looked over at the group of burly men in suits and sunglasses assigned to them. The police had set a whole squad of bodyguards on anyone who was close to Troy or Sharpay, just in case. It was quite unsettling knowing you were being watched by someone 24/7. Gabriella looked over at her fiancé who looked just a child in his mothers arms. He had been distant with her recently, no wonder though. She knew she didn't want to have her wedding without Sharpay and Troy being there. They had to be there! She felt tears well up in her eyes, and her hand covered her mouth. They couldn't be dead, could they? She thought of all the times her and Sharpay had been horrible to each other, and how unnecessary it was. But then they had winded up being friends, really good friends at that and she was going to miss her company so much.

Before she knew it she let out a sob and Ryan was over at her in a flash.

"It's going to be okay Gabi..." He whispered in her ear, what his mother was doing to him moments earlier.

--

Troy grabbed onto Sharpays hand once more and pulled her into a little hideaway spot in the wall, it was an opening to another room although it was pitch black. It was a pity they didn't have lights. Sharpay felt a scratch from the wall and she winced, it wasn't the worst pain she had felt.

"Are you okay?" Troy whispered and Sharpay nodded even though he couldn't see it. Then they heard something. People. Movement. Oh god. Sharpays heart soared with fear. They were back. They were going to see what they'd done. They were going to find them. Troy automatically grabbed Sharpay closer to them.

"Okay, here's what we have to do." He whispered in her ear as he could feel her panicking. He was too for christ sake. "We're going to find a way out. This room must lead somewhere else, feel along the walls. The ceiling, the floor for anything any way you can find that'll get us the fuck away."

She breathed and then they both started frantically pushing, feeling against the walls for a way out, for something they could use, they already had a gun but it would only have so many bullets. Plus guns were loud, one gunshot would attract lots of them.

Then Troy felt it. An opening. "Sharpay!" He hissed as quiet as he could, "Here."

She walked over and he held the small of her back whilst taking her down the tunnel, it was extremely small, not very wide and only big enough for Troy to fit through without bumping his head. But it seemed to be getting smaller. After about five minutes they were crawling. Luckily that was as small as it got but they seemed to be going uphill now. Wherever this tunnel led to he hoped it would be freedom.

It was a good thing too as he heard faintly, "Fuck! They've gone." And a lot of movement. Sharpay started moving faster in front of him, Troy had scuffs on his hands and knee's but they needed to get out. He was not going to let either of them die here.
