Kevin watched in horror as Joe dove infront of him as the man pulled the rigger of a shotgun. The bullet hit Joe in the shoulder, and Joe let out a yell of pain. The man shrugged. "Eventually, Kevin you'll run out of brothers who will take a bullet for you, and I'll be there."The man said "I'd shoot you now, but that was my last bullet." The man walked out, dropping the gun by the door.
Kevin dropped to his knees, Joe's eyes were half closed, and Joe was struggling to breathe, from being hit at close range. Kevin took his brother's head. "Joe, why'd you do that? That has got to be the stupid thing you've ever done, and that's counting the time you almost crashed the tour bus." Kevin didn't expect Joe to answer.
"Kev. I couldn't let you get hurt. You've" Joe lost conciousness before he got the final words out.
"Joe, please, wake up. Please. Don't go. We need you. How will Frankie take it. He still thinks Grandma's gone on vacation!" Kevin cried out "Please Joe."

Nick put his hand on his shoulder as a sharp pain went through it. "Miley, one of them's hurt, I can feel it sometimes. It's like we have twin telepathy from spending so much time together."
Miley nodded "but you don't know who"
"I'd say both. One's been hurt and the other one's taken it really hard."
They explained to the officer that yhey thought they'd figured out were Joe and Kevin were, and less then10 minutes later, Miley and Nick found themselves on their way to L.A. The officer had tracked down were Devon Navers lived.
Just 30 minutes after they had gotten in the squad car, the officer pulled up to an old house. A young woman was standing outside of the house next door, looking scared.
"I heard a gunshot" she said
"Ma'am, get inside please, We might have a madman on our hands, stay as close to the ground as possible, or in a room with no windows. Leave if you hear any more gunshots." the officer said, drawing his gun.
"You two stay as far away from the houses windows as possible." He commanded "This cold be ugly. If I'm not out in 10 minutes, call 911." He said "or if you hear gunshots."

A few minutes later, the officer came out with a huge man in handcuffs. He pushed him into the squad car, locked all the doors and called for help. Then he joined Nick and Miley.
"Joe's been shot" He said.
Miley let out a gasp. Nick put his arms around her. For the first time since the disappearance, Nick let himself break down. He began crying. "Is he okay?" Miley asked softly.
"Well, Kevin is sitting in a pool of blood and Joe will need a blood donation if I'm not mistaken. And he's unconcious" The officer said. "As soon as back up comes, I'm going to need to force Kevin out of the house, because he's gone into a mother bear mode. He wouldn't let me come within a foot of Joe."
Nick let go of Miley "I'm going in there. I need to get to Joe and Kevin."
"Stay here." Miley said "Kevin probably will need some space." She said "You'll be with him soon."

An hour later, Miley and Nick watched as Joe was brought out on a gourney. Nick let out a yell of pain. Miley grabbed him, knowing that if he could reach Devon, Nick would be in jail for murder.
Kevin followed them out, bruises on his face, covered in what Miley could only hope was Joe's blood and shaking. He joined Miley and Nick. He hugged Nick, and both began to cry.
"Are you allright?" Kevin asked.
"I miss my brothers, and I'm tired from not sleeping well, but I'm alot better then you look" Nick choked through tears. "It just feels good to have you back. I've been lost without you and Joe to protect me. "What happened?"
"Joe jumped infront of a bullet that was aimed at me." Kevin pulled away from Miley and smiled at her. "And how is Miss Miley?" He asked, hugging her.
"She's failing every class, including Lunch because of you two. It's good to have you back.
"It's great to be back. But it would be even better if Joe was here."
