Disclaimer: I don't Hannah Montana or the Jonas Brothers! I do however own this plot and such characters as Josh and Ryan. I don't own Kevin's GF and Jackson's GF.

A/N: I wanted to thank you for all of the wonderful reviews for that story. I'm really sorry about the late updates. Too many things going on with life in general. Happy readings! A lot of people have asked that I update ASAP, so I'm posting up the next chapter.

The rescue or is it?

Someone was missing. "Where's Joe?" Kevin asked as he saw Ryan's confusion. Everyone looked to their right and their left and didn't see him. "Joe?" Kevin called out. "I hope you're not in the kitchen. Did you hear? They found some leads to Lilly. Joe?" Denise looked like her heart was going to stop soon. "They have taken my son too?" she cried out. Paul tried to comfort her but it was to no avail.

Every single person in that house went wild with worry. First it was Lilly, and now, it was Joe. Where the heck happened? How in the world could someone not see him being taken? Kadie went and called her dad back to tell him what had just happened. Miley had thought that this day couldn't have gotten any worse than the news of the last few hours but, it had. Joe was the carefree one and he was missing.

Miley looked out the window towards the front of the house. Ryan came over to his little sister and pulled her into a hug. Miley tried not to cry. "It's my fault," she sobbed out into Ryan's shoulder. He looked alarmed when he heard that. He looked at Jackson and he seemed to be confused too. "Miles?" Jackson asked, putting a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and ran into his arms too. Both brothers didn't understand what was going on at all. "Why is it your fault?" Jackson tried again.

She continued to sob even harder. "If I didn't go away, Nick and Lilly wouldn't have been in that argument where she had to leave which led her to being kidnapped. And, now, Joe's missing too. What if that person came back and abducted him too?" she gasped out with tears running down her face again.

"It's not your fault, Miles," Nick came up to the group when he heard the conversation. "It's my fault," Nick said, looking at the group guiltily. "I had that argument with her. I forced her to leave her own house because she couldn't stand the sight of me."

"That's ENOUGH!" bellowed Robby Ray. "It is no one's fault, do ya'll understand me?" Everyone looked at him like he had grown another head. Miley and Jackson never knew that their father could yell that loudly. They had seen him get mad but never like this. "Lilly and Joe are missing because of some horrible person, not because of you two. You two are not responsible for this in anyway," he said. Nick and Miley nodded. "Good," Robby Ray said. "Now, we wait until Kadie's pa to come back."

Everyone jumped when they heard the knock on the door. Kadie went to open the door and Zach walked back into the house for the second time that day. "We have the license plate of the car that was seen in front or near your house this morning and last night. My men and the Malibu police department are trying to get a lead on it. The car has disappeared at the moment. We will let you know if anything else happens," he told them.

"Daddy, what about Joe?" Kadie asked him.

Zach took in a deep breathe. "We believe that the same person that took Lilly might have taken Joe too," he answered. "I have to go back to the station to find out some more details. I will let all of you know anything as soon as I can find out anything else. Just please, do me a favor, everyone," he said and waited until every single person in the house nodded their heads, "DO NOT LEAVE THIS HOUSE. I don't want anyone else to be missing." He bid the families good-bye and left. Kadie looked at Ryan and he nodded his head. She gave him a long kiss on the lips and ran out with her father. She was going to help her father find clues about where the bad people were. She wasn't the Callaway's daughter for nothing if she couldn't use her deductive skills.

Meanwhile at the captor's house

Joe had just climbed out of the back of the car without anyone seeing him. He took in a deep breath of air. He never knew that air could be so sweet. He heard a noise and jumped into a corner of the garage and held his breath again.

"Look, that girl is going to be the death of us," Joe heard a deep voice say.

"Jay," another voice rang through the garage. "The boss wants what the boss wants."

"Well, I want a piece of her," the man named Jay said. Joe peeked out a little from behind the box that he was hiding behind. It was dark enough in the garage for the two men to not see him. He noticed that the second man had a guilty look on his face. "Don't give me that look," Jay told him. "Look, Ken, you haven't been in this business like me. We get what we want to have before the boss."

"The boss ain't going to like that," Ken said.

"Well, the boss ain't going to know, now is he?" Jay asked sternly. They walked back into the house and Joe sat there behind that box in horror. What were they going to do to Lilly? He heard another noise and he crouched down even more. Those two men and someone that Joe knew and hated with every fiber in his being walked back in and got into the car and drove away. Joe sat there for a couple of minutes trying to listen to hear any sounds at all. He breathed in relief when he didn't hear anything or anyone else in the house or near it.

He tried the door but it wouldn't budge. It was locked. 'Crap,' he thought to himself and looked around the room for anything that he could use. He couldn't find anything except for a moveable rock in the corner of the room. He was going to pick it up and toss it through the window of the door to open the lock from the inside when he lifted the rock and found a key to the door. "Bingo!" he said and used it to open the door. He ran into the house and tried to figure out where to go. He remembered all of those movies that Ryan and Kadie had made him watch with Lilly a couple of weeks ago – they had lost a bet with Ryan and were stuck watching all of those detective movies. 'When I get out of here with Lilly, I have got to remember to thank those two for making me sit through all of those movies,' he thought as he ran down to the one room that he remembered in all of those movies – the BASEMENT OR CELLAR!

He pushed against the door and found it was kind of jammed a little bit. He threw his entire body weight on it and was able to get it opened. It was really dark but he tried to see through it. "Lils?" he whispered. He heard a whimper at the bottom of the stairs. He walked closer and saw that Lilly was tied down to the chair with tape on her mouth. Her shirt was torn a little bit but she just shook her head. He didn't understand it at all. He pulled the tape off of her mouth. "Don't worry about the shirt. They haven't done that to me. It just got ripped during the struggle. Please, get me out of here, Joey," she whispered. Her throat was dry from all of the screaming and whimpering that she had been doing. "How did you even find me?"

He got her loose and pulled her into a hug. He tried to kiss her but she just moved her head. "He kissed me and I want to wash the taste of him off me before I kiss you," she explained and he understood. He didn't want Josh's lips on hers either. He grabbed a hold of her hand and ran stealthily up the stairs and out of the house. They didn't know where they were but Joe had recognized a part someone's house. "I think we're still in California, that's for sure," he said trying to get his love to smile. "Of course, Danger," she said and rolled her eyes.

"And where do you think you're going?" a deep voice stunned the duo standing by the door. Lilly and Joe's eyes widen. Lilly started to panic. How the heck are they suppose to get out of here alive. She felt Joe stiffen next to her. She didn't understand why he did that until she turned around and saw the carbon metal object Josh's hand. He was really going to kill her and Joe? 'No, this can't be happening,' she said to herself.

"Josh, please," Lilly begged. Joe kept an arm around her as Josh stepped forward. "You are in no position to be begging…actually, come to think of it, you should be. You ruined my life and my mother's," he answered.

"Your mother deserved it," Joe snapped. Lilly wanted to cry even more when she saw Josh raise the gun to Joe's head.

"I wouldn't speak if I were you, Joseph," he said. "You wouldn't want to make Lilly suffer through seeing you swimming in a pool of blood, do you?"

Joe's face hardened but he kept his mouth shut. "Look, I never wanted to do this, but, you, Lilly, are making this difficult - so, very, very difficult," Josh said. He turned around when he heard a noise coming from the outside and Joe took this moment that was given to him. Joe jumped on Josh and Lilly could be heard screaming. The neighbors heard her scream and didn't understand what was going on until they heard two shots ring clear through the air.

The police came and found a horrible sight in front of them. A blond woman was kneeling over a brown-haired man holding him with blood all over the both of them. Another man bleeding to death was laying a few feet away. EMT's rushed in and helped out the couple on one side and a couple of others went to the other man. "Time of death: 5:02pm," one EMT said softly. He looked up to his partner who confirmed it.

A/N: I'm supposed to be studying for finals right now, but thanks to all of the reviews and wanting me to update soon – I took a break and wanted to post this up. I hope all of you liked it!
