Sonny sat in her room with her face in her pillow.

Her mother went back to Wisconsin because of family trouble between her two aunts.

She was thankful Connie didn't know about James otherwise she would strangle the boy causing more trouble.

There was a knock on her door.

Sonny looked at her clock 9:30pm. Shrugging she went to the front door and looked through the peep hole.

It was Chad, with an anxious look in his eye.

Sonny opened the door.

"Chad, what's wrong." She said letting him in.

"Sorry for coming this late Sonny but Portlyn sent me this text."

He handed her his phone that said:

CDC, James blurted out 2 me dat he's planning2 do sum thing drastic involving diesel and an old shed in the field a couple of miles from here. 4 a heds up I told him I wud't tell u and i wud get some extra info on Sonny. Portlyn.

Sonny looked up at Chad with shining eyes of tears.

"Diesel is a flammable liquid."

Chad nodded, "By my guess she must have distracted him to long and agitated him. She really does put up a fight."

Sonny sank against the wall hugging her knees. "I shouldn't have been so self-satisfied when I dumped him."

Chad sat down next to her. "That took guts Sonny. Believe it or not a lot of girls have dumped me."

Sonny looked at him with amazed eyes.

"Yeah, CDC can get his heart broken."

"I never knew that."

Chad shrugged, "Meh, I like to keep moving on. Like that phrase plenty more fish in the sea"

"James certainly doesn't, I never known such an insensitive jerk. Or cause Tawni to wear polyester pants."

"Neither have I."

Sonny parked her car outside studio 3.

She heard muffled sounds coming from the corner. Curiosity building on her she went around the corner and her mouth hung open.

Portlyn was tied to the drain pipe, gagged.

"Portlyn! What happened? Who did this?" Sonny asked taking off the gag.

"Sonny it's a trap!"

Sonny stared at her for a few seconds until someone blindfolded her from behind and gagged her.

"Put her down you jerk!" She heard Portlyn cry as the attacker slung her over their shoulder. Sonny guessed it was a man judging by the strength.

She felt him handcuff her and shove her into a car driving to an unknown area.

Chad was looking for Portlyn who had failed to come to rehearsal on time. He went into the car park "Portlyn? You out here?"

"Chad! I'm over here!"

He went around the corner and shock filled his eyes.

"Portlyn who did this?" he said untying her.

"Conroy did and he took Sonny. He's just taken her to the old field outside of town."
