Read. Review. I'm bored. Need punching bag.

"WHAT?!" Shane screamed making everyone in the cafeteria stare at him. The awkward silence made everyone's sweat drop. Big Rob sighed as if he were defeated. He knew that Shane would take this the hardest because of his connection with Kenny.

"Kenny is missing. The school called your parents a couple minutes ago. Kenny just disappeared from the hallways during the transition between classes. I'm sorry man."

"No. No. Not Kenny. Please! It couldn't have been Kenny! Maybe it was some other kid!"

"Sorry Shane but it was him. They checked attendance 3 times, especially since, well, you guys are famous."

Shane plopped down in his seat, a look of defeat found its way onto his face. The others gave him sympathetic looks as Mitchie squeezed his hand. He didn't do anything but stare right in front of him. He spoke, "They're after me. They took Kenny because of me. They're trying to get to me and its working! Damn it! They're getting to me!" Shane bursted into tears, his head in his hands as Mitchie tried to soothe him by whispering comforting words to him but she knew that it wouldn't help that much.

"Who would honestly be after Shane?" Peggy asked the group.

"I don't think its Kelly or her posse any more. They aren't that smart to come up with a plan like this," Nate said. Everyone agreed with him.

"Dude, you don't think it could be her, could it?" Jason wondered, obviously worried.

"Oh no. Her?"

"You think I'm right? 'Cause I don't want to be right."

"Sorry Jas, but I think you are."

"Guys? Who is her?" Mitchie asked the concerned boys.

A fifteen year old Shane sat down on the beach waiting for his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend. He had thought about this for a long time but now he was determined to do this. He waited patiently, watching the waves come up and down the sand. Soon, his girlfriend Leah walked up next to him and sat down in the slightly-damp sand.

Leah was fifteen, like Shane. Her skin was tan and she had green eyes, which was extremely rare from where she came from. She was wearing some pink short-shorts and a yellow tank-top. These were some of the things he didn't like about her. Leah would always love to reveal her body to people, but in a disturbing-for-little kids way. Like Shane, she had a rep but her's was really inappropriate and completely different. She was known as a slut and a bitch. This is what Shane hated about her now.

Leah Zylc had completely changed since Shane and his brothers became famous (around the school and city. They didn't get their record label til' the summer). She would always use her boyfriend's fame to get whatever she wanted and this really pisses off Shane. This is what Shane was talking about to Mitchie. The kind of people that hanged around him just for the parties and the free stuff and Shane was done with this.

"Leah, we need to talk."

"Okay, what's up?" Leah didn't realize where this was going so she started playing with Shane's hair. Shane swatted her hand away which just made her confused. "Seriously, what's wrong?"

"I don't know how I should say this so I'll say it bluntly: We need to break up."

Leah gasped. "You're breaking up with me? But I'm totally hot and popular!"

"See! This is why I want to break up! You're so conceited with yourself and you're just using me to get what you want. You don't even care about me! You're just playing with my feelings. I'm done with this."

After a moment of silence, Leah lifted her hand and slapped Shane across the face which completely caught him off guard. "You will regret ever breaking up with me, Shane Gray!" Leah stormed off, leaving Shane alone to think about what he had just done.

Normally, in movies, the person in Shane's place would regret doing this and go back to whoever they broke up with, begging them to take them back while on their knees. But not Shane. He knew that this was the right thing if ever wanted to move on with his life. And first time in a long time, Shane was actually able to enjoy the sounds of the sea at 6:30 am.

"It's totally her," Nate confirmed.

"Yeah, but how would she have found us?" Jason asked. Everyone gave him a look, even Shane and Mitchie.

"Jas, we're Connect Three. The whole world probably know us, like Leah. She probably wants to get back with Shane so she or she sent someone to kidnap Kenny so Shane would have to go back out with her."

Suddenly, Shane's iPhone started ringing. Shane was still in tears so Mitchie pulled it out and answered it for him. "Hello?"

"Put Shane on."

"Who is this?"

"Look, do you want Kenny or not?"

"Uh, okay. Shane, I think it's Leah."

Shane's eyes shot up and immediately grabbed the phone, yelling in it, "GIVE ME BACK KENNY, YOU BITCH!"

"Aw, I missed you too baby. And sorry but unless you go back out with me, I'm holding Kenny hostage." Shane could tell that Leah was smirking on her side of the line.

"Why would I go out with you? You're nothing but a good for nothing slut that wants to use me or your own personal gain."

"Oh? But I have Kenny. You're youngest brother who you love dearly. What are you gonna do about it?" Leah hung up from her side leaving Shane speechless.

"What are you going to do?" Nate asked.

"I gotta go on a date with her or else she'll hurt Kenny," Shane responded as he put down his iPhone. Mitchie rubbed his back.

"It's okay Shane. It's for your little brother. As long as you don't actually fall back in love with her," Mitchie jokingly scolded. Shane rolled his eyes but jokingly, too.

"Like I would fall in love with her. I've already found my one true love."

"I bet that was one of the most cheesiest things you've said to Mitchie. Right Mitch?" Sander asked. Mitchie nodded.

"Okay. I'll call her now." Shane got up from the table and walked away to talk to Leah. This made Mitchie a little bit uneasy.

"Why would Shane have to talk to Leah privately?" Mitchie asked her friends.

"...AND DONT YOU DARE HURT KENNY OR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!"

Nate smirked as Mitchie's eyes widened. "Does that explain that?"

"Yup. You know, we need to help Shane."

"Yeah but what can we do?"

"We could trace the call, you know." Everyone turned to stare at Jason. Another rare "smart" Jason moment. "What? We could."

"That's not a bad idea. And then when Shane is on the date, Leah would obviously have her guard down so that's the time when we can get Kenny," Peggy continued.

"That's a great idea," Tess commented.

"Thanks! What was my idea?" Jason wondered.

Shane came back and sat down in his seat. "It's settled. I'm goin' out with her tonight. We're gonna see a movie."

"You know, you were pretty loud when you went over there to talk to Leah..." Mitchie trailed off.

"Sorry, I didn't want you to hear me cussing at her." Shane smiled sheepishly.

"Dirty mouth? Clean it up with Orbit White!" Mitchie mocked the commercial. Shane's eyes widened and then he laughed.

"What?"

"Just do it." Shane shrugged and took a piece of the gum. He started to chew it and began to talk again.

"I swear I'll kill that muddy slime ball! What the quack? This stuff actually works!"

"Yo, it's illogical. I can't have it," Nate said.

"Dude, I swear I can't curse. Listen! Leah is a diaper-talking meanie bo beanie!" Shane turned around and muttered to himself, "What the heck am I saying?"

"Wow..." Caitlyn said. "I never thought I'd trust a bubble gum ad."

Mitchie, Shane, Nate, and Jason went over to the police station to get the phone call traced while the others prepared for the rescue mission. They wanted to rescue Kenny themselves so the press doesn't go crazy about this. Shane immediately went up to front desk and slammed down his iPhone. If he threw it down any harder, he could've broken it.

"Can I help you?" the receptionist asked in a dull tone.

"Yeah, I need a call traced," Shane responded.

"Sir, do you think that we'll just trace the call for you. That's not how it works here."

"Our brother was kidnapped during school and our parents already know. We're coming here just to only have the call traced so the press doesn't get word about this," Nate explained.

"What makes you think the press—" the receptionist looked up at the three boys and her expression immediately changed. "Oh! You're those Connect Three boys! My daughter loves you guys! Can I have your autographs for her?"

"Will you trace the call?" Shane asked.

"I will get right on it, Mr. Gray."

"Ok then. We'll give you our autographs."

"Excuse me but who is this?" the receptionist pointed to Mitchie.

"Oh, this is my girlfriend Mitchie. She sings at some of our concerts as the opening act."

"Hi," Mitchie shyly greeted.

"Okay, we're done," Shane said once he finished signing the paper.

"Thank you, now if you will please walk this way, we'll go through your phone records and trace the call location you wanted." Mitchie and the boys walked behind the desk and followed the receptionist to a room full of computers. "Now if you'll enter your phone number."

Shane did as she said and entered his cell number into the computer. The receptionist typed in a few things and a list of phone records were pulled up. Shane blushed as he read them because more than 50 of the calls were to Mitchie. Nate and Jason laughed at him. Shane continued to scan the records until he found what he needed.

"There! That's the number Leah called from!" Shane said, pointing to the number. The receptionist clicked on the number and tracked its location. "37 Sarick Drive. Got it. Thank you Miss."

"My pleasure boys. And girl."

The four ran out of the police station and Nate called Caitlyn.

"Hello?"

"Caitlyn! We got the location. We're going there now."

"Okay, where?"

Shane handed them the paper. "37 Sarick Drive."

"Got it. We'll see you there. Bye."

"Bye." Nate hung up on his iPhone. "Okay. Their going there now."

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Jason cheered.

You know what to do.
