Discliame: I do not own High School Musical. If I did Ryan would have been shirtless in the movies.

Its set in everyones POV

Sharpay's POV

"Where's Ryan?" I asked, my voice quivering with fear as I got up and started looking around franticly.

"I think he's with the guys, I saw him walk over there about an hour and a half ago." Gabriella said looking at me with a

worried expression.

"Somethings not right, I think he's hurt."

"What do you mean, you think he's hurt? How can you know that?" Martha asked.

"I don't know. I just feel that somethings wrong, that he's in pain."

"Well, come on, the boys are at the basketball court around back." Taylor said going to the side of the building.

I ran after her, anxious to see if Ryan was ok.

Gabriella's POV

'She looks really scared.' I thought as the rest of us followed them. When we got to the court the first thing I saw was

Troy. He looked so cute , dribbling the ball past Jason. A smile started to come to my face when I remembered why we

were over here in the first place. I was about to look for Ryan when I heard Sharpay start yelling.

"Ok Bolton what did you and your basketball robots do to my brother?"

They all stopped playing, puzzled by her words.

"Wait a minute. We forgot about him." Chad said looking around. "Remember, we said he could play. He must have

gotten tired of waiting."

"Is that what this is all about Sharpay?" Troy asked "That Ryan got mad and told you that we forgot about him. We're

really sorry, we didn't mean to leave him out. Where is he? He can play if he still wants to."

"What do you mean "Where is he?" don't you know either?" Taylor asked after looking at Sharpay and seeing tears in her

eyes.

"What's going on?" Zeke asked I mean, doesn't anybody know where Ryan is?"

"No we don't." I said. "Whens the last time anyone's seen him?"

"I saw him leave that bench over there." Chad said pointing to his left. "That was about forty minutes ago." He said

looking at his watch. "At the time I just thought he was going to the bathroom. Then I guess I kind of forgot about him."

"Forgot him? You forgot him? This was suppose to be a bonding day. The girls doing stuff together and the boys doing

stuff together. How could you just leave him out? It's not like it's hard to find something for five people to do. We girls

found something to do and there's five of us." Sharpay was practically screaming now, and tears were running down her

face.

"Wait a minute. I'm still a little confused about something." Troy said. "Why did you come over here in the first place? If

you guys haven't seen him, how did you know something was wrong?"

I looked at Sharpay and saw the other girls look at her too.

"It's a twin thing." She said in between sobs. "All I know is that he's hurt. When Gabby said she saw him walk over

here, I thought that maybe you guys started playing a little rough and something happened."

"Look we don't know if anything happened." Zeke said. "He probably just went home and got a paper cut or

something."

"No in order for us to feel it when the other's hurt it has to be something big. He broke his wrist 2 years ago and I didn't

know about it until after we finished our dance routine."

"Well lets go and see if his car is still here." Troy said trying not to show us that he was getting scared.

We started walking to the parking lot going faster the closer we got until we were all running by the time we got there.

Seeing that Ryan's metallic green convertable was still there, we split up to look for him.

"He's not here." Kelsi said looking worried.

"Maybe he went for a walk." Jason said hopefully.

"It's been an hour there's no way he's stay gone this long. Not in the dark that is, he afraid of the dark." Sharpay said.

"Lets take a ride up the road ok. Just in case he went for a walk and is too scared to walk back in the dark." Troy said

going over to his truck.

We all piled in, most of us fitting in the cab since it had a backseat, Troy got behind the wheel while I slid in next to him

with Sharpay beside me. The other girls were in the backseat and the guys all climbed into the truck bed, standing up,

holding on to the cabs roof so that they could keep a lookout for any signs of Ryan.

"Stop the truck man! I think I see something!" Chad shouted, banging his hands on the roof to get Troy's attention.

Chad's POV

I leaped out of the truck not waiting for it to stop all the way. When Troy saw that I was looking at something to the side

and a little behind the truck, he backed up aluminating it with the headlights. Everyone piled out and stood next to me,

making sure not to block the light. No one did anything for several minutes. We just stood there, our brains not registering

what our eyes were seeing.

Troy's POV

"Is that what I think it is?" I asked, my voice trembling as I stared down at Ryan's favorite hat. I remembered that he'd

been wearing it tonight. Now it lay there, covered in blood. The ground around it had blood splatters everywhere and it

looked like there had been a huge struggle. Seeing Sharpay reach down for the sparkaly green hat, I put my hand on her

arm to stop her.

"We can't touch anything Shar. We have to go to the police and this is evidence of what happened." I said hating the way it came out.

"So exactly what did happen anyway?" Jason asked.

I sighed thinking that explaining things to him was getting old. I mean he's a great friend but a little slow at times. After

giving a finally glance at Sharpay, knowing that what I was going to say would upset her more, I looked at Zeke and

gestered with my eyes that he should go over to her.

"Well, we know that Ryan was here, we know that that's his hat. We know that someone got hurt pretty bad because

there's blood everywhere. And we can pretty much say that it's Ryan that was hurt because it's his hat that has blood on it.

That means he was in what ever struggle that happened here. We can also assume that he didn't win the fight." I said unable

to look any one in the eye, hating myself more with every word I said. "So what I think happened is that some people came

up when Ryan was walking, beat him up and kidnapped him."

Everyone was silent for a few minutes as what I said sunk in. None of us had ever been through anything like this. We all

felt hopeless, knowing one of our friends had been taken away from us and that he was hurt and scared, and we couldn't do

anything about it.

"Come on you guys." Sharpay said through clinched teeth, breaking the silence. "The sooner we go to the police the

sooner we get my brother back.

At that statement we all piled back into the truck and headed for the police station.
