Kevin's hazel eyes glanced at the calendar, noting that it had now been 5 days since his brother was kidnapped. He hoped Joe was okay, he had been trained for this he should be able to get through it fine.
But at the same time, Kev knew that Joe was the weakest out of the three brothers, though he refused to let others know that. Joe had always used laughter to cover his true feelings. Only the Nick and Kevin knew Joe's real personality and understood it. Laughs might work for others but not for them, they could always see the tears hidden behind the smile.
Opening his bag, Kevin reached inside searching for his video ipod, his hand finally brushed it.
Pulling it out, Kev stuck the earphones in his ears as he pressed play; he lay down on his back.
Instead of getting rock music or anything else that he knew that was on his ipod, he heard static.
Pulling his ipod close to his face, so he can see what was up, he scrolled through his play list.
Everything was deleted, all his music was gone.
There was one item on his ipod.
One lone video.
And it wasn't something he loaded on it.
Video 1.
He scrolled over it, pausing.
Something in his mind told him to play it, but at the same time he felt something holding him back.
Sighing he pressed play.
Instantly the screen was filled with a face that he would always forget.
Steele.
Kevin let out a huge sigh; Steele was a bad guy that he and his brothers had been set up against. The night ended with dead goonies, a hurt Nick, a burning building and a missing Steele.
Of course Steele was the one behind this, it all made sense now.
Joe had killed Steele's slut of a girlfriend, when they were fighting each other.
"Hello, Lucas. After that stunt you pulled, you expect me not to get revenge? I've got someone here that wants to say hello to you."
Kevin watched as the camera moved off Steele to Joe who was tied to a chair.
Tears came to his hazel eyes as he saw his younger brother tied to a chair brokenly.
The camera changed back to Steele, "You told your brothers that you will always protect them. Well, I'm here to show you, that you can't."
The camera changed again out of no where a whip lashed against Joe's body causing him to cry out.
Kevin watched over and over again as the whip landed across the beautiful tan skin of Joe's.
He closed his eyes as Joe screamed from the whiskey being poured on his body; tears ran down his cheeks as he heard his brothers' screams.
The screen went grey, as Kevin's thumb went to turn it of when an image of Joe came back on the screen. He could tell by Joe's appearance a couple days had passed since the whipping.
He watched as one of Steele's lackeys walked up to Joe and dropped his pants.
"Let's see if we could put that talented mouth of yours to use."
As the guy's dick was forced into Joe's mouth, Kevin ran from the room throwing up in the toilet.
A couple minutes later Kevin leaned against the porcelain tub as tears ran down his cheeks. He crawled back into the bedroom, picking up his ipod just as the guy hit his orgasm, causing Joe to swallow the seed.
The camera switched to Steele, who had a sneer on his face.
"Lucas, there are two signals on your palm. One goes to your precious brother the other does not. Choose the right one and you save him, choose the wrong one and he's dead."
Kevin picked up his palm turning it on he noticed the 2 signals. His eyes went back to the Ipod where Steele was laughing.
After he was done laughing Steele said the last thing before the screen went blank.
"Have fun."
