Disclaimer: I don't own Big Time Rush, but I sure do love them
Second to last chapter, for real. Wrap up then epilogue.
This is a conveniently wrapped up wrap up. I hope you enjoy it, I'm trying something a little different. And I know some of the details don't match with the show or reality, but...it's a story so whatever! Haha
It's rather short, but I didn't want to drag it out.

Big Time Back In Action
Sue Ellen-Jasper
It's been three long months since band member Logan Mitchell of Big Time Rush was kidnapped and rescued. Michael Morgan was the perpetrator, working as a stable hand at the barn Big Time Rush was visiting for a day. We received a report that Morgan had previously known Logan long before but no details were give as to when and how.
I am happy to say that Logan is recovering well, both mentally and physically, and all four boys are ready to start recording their new album. Rumors say it's going to be called either Elevate or All Over Again and that Blow Your Speakers Out (a song cut from the first album BTR) was set to be on the new album but will now only be a bonus track on the UK album.
We managed to catch up with Gustavo Rocque and got a few answers to some of our questions.
"Mr. Rocque." This reporter caught the producer during a break. "What can you tell me about how the recent "set back" has affected the album release?"
"It hasn't affected it that much, maybe a day or two behind schedule, but the dogs are more determined than ever to make sure nothing changes. If our release day was going to be, say, November 20, 2011 then we'll just make it November 21 instead. Not much of a difference."
"Has this experience influenced the music in anyway?"
"Yes and no. They're still Big Time Rush, but now they've got a little bit more to their vocals. They're really feelin' it now."
Who's excited for their new album? I know I am!
Many fans cry out injustice as they feel like Morgan got off too easy, unfortunately the police has no say considering Morgan died in an unrelated care accident. But some fans are more angry that the detective working on Logan's case didn't find him sooner.
"I don't care what they think," Detective Juliet Spencer told us. "I worked hard to find Logan Mitchell and, considering the circumstances, he was found pretty quickly..." For more of this interview detailing some of the investigation go to our main site. "He's a strong kid. I'm just glad there isn't no lasting damage."
Not only did we get to speak to Gustavo Rocque, but we also got to talk to Kendall Knight, the band's unofficial official leader.
"Sure I'm happy that we're getting back to BTR and recording music," Kendall said in reply to our question of whether he was happy they were starting back up. "But I'm more happy that Logan is better and joining us. We wouldn't keep going without Logan. It's all of us or none of us. One of us missing is like music missing from a boy band. We wouldn't be a band, we wouldn't be Big Time Rush without everyone there."
Logan Mitchell has been seen around Hollywood every now and then. One sight has him visiting a coffee shop with Kendall and Katie Knight, Kendall's 10 year old sister, and another has him at a cafe across from Rocque Record with the rest of the band. He's recent attended a CD signing at a local mall and BTR is planning to have another one in a week.
Other than the bandages around his fingers and up both his arms (according to information they'll be off in 3 to 4 more weeks) he looks better than ever.
He obviously feels better because Big Time Rush, along with Gustavo Rocque's assistant Kelly Wainwright and counselor Alice Tudor, will be visiting the barn where this whole horror story began. They hope to finish the videos they started and just enjoy the day.
We wish you luck Logan Mitchell and Big Time Rush and we hope you have many years of peace ahead of you. We can't wait until the new album comes out!
