CHAPTER SIXTEEN
What are we going to do now?
"That no good bastard!" Kendall swore as he paced the small bathroom.
"Kendall, chill," Logan instructed, sitting on the side of the bathtub with James and Carlos. "We don't even know for sure if it was Koto that took her."
All four of them were talking in the bathroom because it seemed to be the only place that they wouldn't be interrupted. The Palm Woods pool was too crowded, the Palm Woods park was too open and their voices could easily carry, and there was no way that they were going to go to the lobby where police were swarming everywhere and Bitters was keeping an eye out for practically anything that was moving. So they were sitting in their apartment's bathroom as it was the only place that they were able to have some privacy while Mrs. Knight was gone. If she came back early while they were talking in one of their bedrooms, then she would overhear everything and they would have to explain themselves.
After Katie found out about what was going on with them, Kendall declared that he would never let his mom find out because he wouldn't want her to be in danger as well.
"Camille said all we needed to know to know it was him," Kendall snapped back as he turned to look at his friend. "Blonde hair, green eyes, sinister smile, and razor sharp canines, what other person out there looks like that as well as wearing a leather jacket?" he demanded.
"Probably half the bikers in this city," James replied rationally. "But Kendall, you have to calm down." He tried to reassure him as well. "Jo is our friend and we're all worried about her and it's not going to help her if you try to fly to her rescue and then get caught by the Black Wolves as well."
"Yeah, you heard the Jacksons," Carlos piped up. "They said that we're the strongest elementals of our time right now, if we get caught, it could mean the end of the world or something cool like that."
"The end of the world wouldn't be cool, Carlos." Logan stated as patiently as he could. "We'd all be dead."
"Oh."
Logan shook his head as he ran his hands over his face. He didn't understand why a guy like him could have things go so wrong so fast. He was a good kid; he always ate his vegetables when he was younger, he always did his homework before watching TV, got straight As, was on the High Honor Roll, and was probably the next in line to win the Nobel Peace Prize! So how could he be the kind of guy that would develop strange powers and be destined to be chased for the rest of his life?
Now one of his best friends was gone and his other one was in her room crying her eyes out because she was there when Jo was taken away.
It wasn't fair.
"Wait a minute, that's it!" Kendall's voice broke Logan from his thoughts. "We'll get the Jacksons to help us; they probably know where they took Jo."
"But we haven't seen the Jacksons in days." Carlos replied, slightly hopeful at the thought. "Do you think they'll help us?"
"They have to!" Kendall was desperate and his friends could clearly see that.
"But every time we needed their help they just popped up out of nowhere," James pointed out. "We don't even know where they live or how to find them to ask them for help."
"We don't have a choice," Kendall shook his head. "We have to try and find Jo." He shook his head again and lowered his voice to a whisper. "If anything happens to her, I'll never forgive myself."
Logan was probably the only one out of him, Carlos, and James that knew that Kendall's feelings for Jo were far stronger than just being friends. He also knew that this was tearing his friend up inside and he hated to see their undecided leader to be like this.
So Logan decided right then and there that he would do anything he could to help his friend.
"Kendall's right, we have to do something." Logan agreed.
"Right, but what can we do?" James sounded as annoyed and helpless as Kendall felt and Logan knew that Carlos was worse off as he was the most sensitive and hated to see anyone hurt or upset. "We can't even control our powers all the way."
"Then that's what we'll do." Logan replied. "We'll learn to control our powers and then try and find Jo." He sighed heavily. "I just hope that we aren't too late when we do find her."
A/N: Well too bad, Kendall because the Jacksons have turned to the dark side…or have they? Hahaha. I know, even shorter chapter, but I'm getting back into it and I wanted to show a big more about what was going on with the guys before going back to Jo. I hope you liked it anyway. :)
