Narrator's POV

"Don't move!" Fiona yelled. She held the gun aimed at Taylor. A tear slid down Emily's cheek. Taylor was still sobbing uncontrollably. Nick was calm, but there was fear in his eyes. Joe was struggling, but stopped when he was punch and felt the gun. He had a hard expression on his face, but it softened when he looked at Taylor. Jake was gently rubbing Emily's back as she watched her sister helplessly. Miley was trying to control her tears so Emily wouldn't see. She was in Mitchel's protective hold. Everyone froze at Fiona's command. "Put down all your weapons." When the policemen hesitated, she pressed the gun harder to Taylor's temple, making her wince. The man by Joe punched him. The police quickly obeyed. "You six, come in here and shut the door." She was referring to Miley, Mitchel, Emily, Jake, and the two policemen. When the door closed, Fiona removed the gun from Taylor's head and motioned to her henchmen to do the same. The man resumed beating on Joe.

"Step away from the captives." Emily said firmly. The man by Nick took a step back and Mitchel jumped him, winning the fight.

"Fool," Fiona said. She slapped Taylor across the face and the man began hitting Joe harder. "You know what I want, and I'm not letting them go until I get it." She moved her hands around Taylor's neck.

"If you kill them, you definitely won't get it." A policeman said. Fiona gasped and removed her hands from Taylor. "You also won't get it unless that boy is conscious." He continued. Fiona looked at Joe and saw that he was starting to stop struggling.

"G, stop!" Fiona commanded him. When he didn't she gasped, and looked a little worried. Jake took this opportunity and tackled her to the ground. Three keys flew from her pocket and landed in front of two policemen pried the other man away from Joe. Emily noticed the keys were marked with a letter and tossed the one with an 'N' to Miley while she raced over and undid Taylor's handcuffs. Then she untied her. Emily hugged her sister, then she noticed the bruises on her. Emily pulled away and Taylor grabbed the last key. She rushed over and undid Joe's handcuffs. She looked at him and saw the waterfall of tears ready to fall in his chocolate eyes.

"Joe, it's ok. You can cry." Taylor was still sobbing, but not as much. She watched a tear slide down Joe's cheek before he let them all go.
