Here's the next chapter. :) Please do review.

Jake slowly turned to see who it was. Flick. "You ain't going nowhere." "Why not?" "Because, if you do, your little Sammy girl will get badly hurt. Surely you don't want your little girlfriend hurt do you?" Jake's fist itched so bad to punch Flick. To wipe the smirk now on his face off.

"Do you!" Jake shook his head. "Then you're going to do what we tell you to." Jake watched Flick warily as he walked away.

"Dustin move or I'm gonna make you move!" Jake heard a slap, and a moment later a frightened looking Dustin ran into the room.

"Pst." Dustin walked over to Jake and whispered, "My, I mean, Flick told me not to talk to you." Jake allowed his head to drop into his lap.

"Sorry."

Dustin went to the other side of the room, and watched while Jake thought. He was lonely too. Matt didn't talk much to anyone in his family. He didn't see the use. The only one that listened was Dustin, but he didn't want to worry Dustin too much.

What could Flick want? He was just one Jake! What could he do to help them?

The slam of the outside door made him jump. It was the form of a woman, but Jake couldn't tell who she was.

Dustin could though, because he lunged himself at her and hugged her and kissed her.

The other boy came out, and said two words, "Going out." "Take him Matt." Matt sighed but jerked his head for Jake to follow.

"Leave." "Me?" "Yeah." "Why?" "If you don't you'll more then likely get hurt." "But won't you get in trouble for letting me leave?" "So?" "I can't." "Why?" "They might get Sam next." Matt sighed. "Fine." "But Matt?" "Hm?" "Could you maybe find a way to tell my family and Sam that I'm okay?" "If I get sent to town I'll make sure it gets to her." "Thanks."

Matt grunted. He didn't want to talk anymore, and hoped that Jake would get that.

Sam held her knife to her wrist. To cut or not to cut? That was the question. She wondered what the answer would be. Even she didn't know. All of a sudden she got an urge to throw the knife across the room. She followed that impulse. The knife stuck in the wall right next to the wall sticker of a white stallion.

She pretended that the sticker horse was the Phantom. Where was the Phantom? If he had come at least once she wouldn't be so depressed, but it seemed that he was avoiding her.

Sam wanted to hurt herself, but she didn't want to bleed. The images of Jake's bone sticking through his skin and all that blood. No. She couldn't cut herself.

Instead she began hitting her head on the wall. She hit hard, and on the hardest part of her wall. She knocked herself out doing that, and that is where her dad found her the next morning.

"Mom, Mr. Shields is back!" "Thank you Nate."

"Mrs. Ely! Have you found anymore out about the whereabouts of your son?" "No. We know that he's been kidnapped, but we don't know by who, and we don't know where they took him. We went over this yesterday."

"Oh, right."

"Did you find out anymore about him?" "No. But we ran tests and the blood on his hat is his blood.

"I hate to say it Ma'am, but I think someone may have murdered your son."
