Chapter 15: The Bonding Chains That Hold Our Friendship

A/N: I loved the responses that I got from the recent chapter that I might have to take up on lalala's offer on posting two chapters at once. I hope that I will be able to post this up by Wednesday, that's my goal if not I am really sorry. I even felt worse for leaving you all with that nasty cliff hanger at the end of that last chapter so I'll try to not end it so sudden…notice that I said try. Anyway, I noticed Carlos stutters under pressure ha-ha, sorry Carlos… Try typing in YouTube, if you haven't already checked it out it's called "Back To School with Big Time Rush" also while you guys are on YouTube try checking out "Double Rainbow BTR Style" both videos are under the real James Maslow and Carlos Pena's YouTube channel funny stuff Kendall is hilarious on the 'Double Rainbow BTR Style" video he goes on his trip. So I am so sorry for you guys reading up on this ultra long author's note I bet you all want to yell "SHUT UP!"….ok bye.

Disclaimer: Well…the weather in Los Angeles is clearing up slowly but surely. Not that anyone cares or anything but I feel so lucky, my mom bought a random raffle ticket and won an iPod touch and she let me keep it…sorry off topic. I don't own Big Time Rush, because Kendall got away and now I don't even know where Carlos ran off to…I feel like MeganPena841 is responsible for his disappearance…

All the reasons you believe what you believe, Never seen another truth that's a part of me, Now what I wanna do is show you what it really means to love, What it really means to love

I know you're standing there, Waiting for me, To take it all back down the other road, baby, But I won't let you down

Every Time You Turn Around-Daughtry

Logan's POV:

By the time we all had tried to stop Simon from making any more movement with the kunai knife, Simon just laughed again.

"You all honestly think I wouldn't kill the girl, you four best come with me now, or this time I won't be so kind as to give you kids a second chance to save this girls life." He was staring simultaneously at all four of us.

Amy on the other hand was sobbing tears now and James was on the verge to jump in no matter the cost to try to save Amy…but that would foolish of him to do.

From the positions all six of us were in we wouldn't be able to pull a hero stunt to save Amy no matter how many tactics there were to try to reach her.

And if we had a slight inch of a chance, failure would not be an option…I felt useless just standing there trying to find a maneuver to get to Amy.

If I could only get to her and save her James and Kendall…even Carlos would trounce on Simon at the same time for his recent actions.

James feet were moving up and down but in place, you would have to pay close attention to his movement to see him trying to move them.

"James, don't he's not bluffing….he will do it…" I turned to Snow who was staring hard on James feet as well.

So she had a keen eye as well, if only she had a weapon with her and had a direct projector of Simon's head this nightmare could end before it got worse.

That's how dreams normally end right…in psychological terms, the brain will end the sleep cycle if the person is dreaming of dying in their dreams….because if we all have watched "Nightmare on Elm Street" they die the same way they die in their sleep.

But in the real world it turns out that that rule applies as well on regular people, I was just hoping that if this was a nightmare we would all wake up in the apartment as soon as possible.

I felt like a moron there was no way we were sleeping, not in the middle of all this mess!

I hadn't realized that I had my eyes closed; when I opened them everyone minus Simon and Amy were staring at me…I think they thought I was meditating.

I hadn't noticed that Kendall, James, Megan, and Snow were trying to make up a plan.

"Logan did you hear us?" I turned to Carlos and he had a worried look on his eyes…not to mention the way his eyes closed a little more heavily than usual.

"Um…no what?" I tried to get involved with the plan, whatever they were all discussing about before my psychology reference.

"We were thinking of faking a delivery to Simon, but the problem is we need someone to go who's fast, that way they can retrieve Amy and the others trounce on him.

Wait…that was my plan before…sort of, I had a gutsy feeling in my stomach that this was the best plan Kendall and James had.

I stared at Carlos…I gave him an apologetic smile and stepped back from the group huddle.

Carlos just stared at me wondering what I was going to do intently.

I knew what we all had to do…it was risky but I knew that it was the only way we could save Amy…she had nothing to do with whatever Simon had in store for the four of us, but now she was on the verge of freaking out.

I wanted to tell Carlos what I was going to do, but something told me not to, not yet.

Stephanie's POV:

I wasn't even into the game anymore, it was past 11:30 p.m. and we had been playing since we had arrived to the apartment of the boys.

Camille had given up once the clock had hit 11:00 p.m. I decided to try to get Katie to fall asleep, it hadn't gotten to work, and she was wide awake.

"Katie, don't you think you're tired of playing?" I felt like a huge jerk, but I was tired of pressing buttons and just staring at the screen.

"Yeah, I guess so, but all you had to say was that you were tired of getting beaten by me Stephanie." She smirked and pushed my character off the stage.

"Hay! That wasn't fair I wasn't even paying attention to that last win of yours Katie!" I was starting to feel the grumpiness in my voice and tensely on my shoulders from sitting too long.

We heard Mrs. Knight come in, she was on the edge of panic and worry, she had told us that Kendall had called saying that he did manage to reunite with James and this other girl I think Amy and Megan, I wasn't too sure if I even approved Kendall with Megan or Amy…but I had to remember that Jo was "dating" Jett in Hollywood.

So I guess that this would make it even…I just hope Jo would understand…what am I thinking I don't even know if Kendall and those other girls are even into each other…but if they were then Jo would have to understand.

I mean in a way I felt like Carlos wasn't even interested in me…I did think he was the cutest one out the four, what am I thinking…..I guess I was that worried about how Logan and Carlos were doing this late.

Mrs. Knight heard the phone ring and she ran to the phone to pick it up.

We couldn't hear what was going on, but it for sure was not going to be Kendall, Mrs. Knight would have answered it right in front of us if it were him.

"Uh-huh, I know, but ok…seriously? Ok, I'll check it out right now…ok thank you Kelly.

"Wait….Kelly called you? This late? What's going on mom?" Katie was worried now along with the rest of us.

"Oh, I'm sorry girls, Kelly wanted me to see the update of that report of the man they had found the body….of the sixteen years old." Mrs. Knight was still not used to saying that.

I wouldn't either if I had the child of the same age running around this late at night while a lunatic was out there with them.

Mrs. Knight took off the input channel Katie had it on to the news.

A woman wearing a suit and a man wearing a suit as well were sitting next to one another.

"On today's top story, local police have been investigating the crime scene in the hotel." The woman had stated.

"It still isn't official that the officers have a hunch on were the serial killer is now." The man now spoke and then a picture showed up on the screen.

"OH MY GOSH! MOM! That's the guys who gave me this flyer!" Katie pulled out the flyer and saw that her mom was in shock from what her daughter had just recently just said.

Camille was now in shock, "That's the flyer you showed Kendall, Logan, James, Carlos, Jo, and I!" Mrs. Knight fainted and her body hit the floor with a loud thud.

Katie on the other hand was freaking out, "I knew that dude was creepy, I just didn't expect to bump into him in the lobby!" I was still new to all this news.

I was at that Young Director's of Tomorrow competition when all this happened; I grabbed the flyer which was now on the floor next to Mrs. Knight.

"The same circus we bumped into them in….." I whispered in tone.

"Mom, mom, get up…you ok?" Katie was trying to wake up Mrs. Knight from her sudden collapse, we didn't know what to do, something told me to try to seek help but from who.

The three of us were trying to stay calm, but Mrs. Knight was out cold and we didn't have the slightest clue about what to do now.

"If you or anyone you know has any information of the whereabouts of this man, please contact the number on your screen…a reward is being offered to whoever knows the whereabouts of this dangerous man." The three of us turned and saw that the number on the screen came on and Katie ran off to try to find a writing utensil to dot down the information on the screen.

"I hope the guys are ok." Camille was now shaking, Katie on the other hand came back with pen and notepad in hand and dotted down the number.

"This is perfect, we already know the whereabouts of this guys, we can just ask for help and tell them he's by the circus and then we can collect the reward money." I turned to Katie.

Was she serious? She was more worried about the reward money than actually finding her own brother alive!

I noticed that Camille had given her the death glare, something I was going to give her myself.

"What! I'm kidding….jeez…lighten up I'm sure that my bro is perfectly fine, he has tackled men twice this guys height in hockey." I knew that Katie had a lot of faith in Kendall being able to defend himself.

But that wasn't the case, this could be life or death, our best option was to call the police and tell them the whereabouts of this serial killer.

But first things first….we had to get Mrs. Knight to wake up.

Mr. Garcia's POV:

I have been working really hard on this case, how could one person pull off the perfect crime and run off and disappear off the face of the earth.

The evidence and the witnesses that had seen him weren't helping us out at all.

A lot of the officer's called it a day and decided to continue the case early in the morning; I on the other hand could not.

I worried about this case because it was going on in Los Angeles and well, my son was there and all.

Plus this man has been on the FBI's most wanted list due to the recent murders.

The strangest thing was that all his murders led to young children.

They went from Orlando, Florida to Kansas City, to Texas, and recently Los Angeles…this man's killing spree wasn't the worst part…the way he tortured his victims before he kills them was the worst part of them all.

I was just grateful that Carlos had called and asked me to come over and visit, it has been awhile…ever since Lightning took my son's helmet, and we had to chase around the culprit who took my son's helmet….good times.

As I had gotten off the plane earlier today, the Police Department from here in LA had heard that I was in town and they needed all the cops they could get their hands on to trap this man.

I for one didn't want to, because I was here to spend time with my son.

But after trying to contact him for the past hour, no one answered.

I figured he would be out playing hockey with his friends or asleep, those kids do sleep mighty early to wake up and go sing.

There hadn't been anyone trying to claim that they saw the man run off somewhere.

I just wanted to call it a day as well and rent a motel and stay there and in the morning go to the Palm Woods and hang out with my son the whole day.

But something had told me not to, to continue this case…even though we had no league.

I placed my head on the desk where all the papers were at; I had to get a good league soon.

Logan's POV:

It was now or never, I had to give myself in…it…it's the only way Simon would let Amy go and free her.

While I had backed up a little more, Carlos, James, Megan, Kendall, and Snow turned in sync and saw that I was filled with tears.

"Logan…what are you doing?" I couldn't tell them they would just pull me back to their side…I had to.

"I…I'm sorry Carlos….it's the only way."I hadn't realized that I was close behind Simon.

As my skin made contact with his hands it sent goose bumps down my spine.

"No! Logan you can't do this!" Carlos was starting to run, when Snow pulled him back.

Simon just smiled and laughed so maniacally, he tossed Amy from the side and grabbed me instead.

Amy fell to the ground and James ran to hug her in comfort.

I was shaking all over the place, the kunai knife was now on my neck and Amy let out a scream, "No!"

Carlos was fighting off Snow, he was trying to free himself to come and run up to me, but I knew that he would just get himself killed.

"LET ME GO SNOW!" at that moment a tear drop fell from her eye and the next words shocked even Simon himself.

"I can't do that Carlos." Carlos was now with watery eyes, he was willing to try to do anything in his power to try to break free from Snow.

"I…I have a family to take care of!" Simon then laughed again and Kendall ran and pushed Snow to the ground to recover Carlos, but once he pushed Snow to the ground Simon just clapped.

"Well, well, well, Snow…I am in shock I didn't expect this one bit." He chuckled and Snow was staring at the ground.

I didn't realize that Megan wasn't there till the brief second.

I tried to eye her out, then Snow tackled Carlos and pinned him to the ground holding another kunai knife, "Don't move or he dies along with your other friend." I can't believe I trusted her.

She betrayed us, how could I be so foolish to think that my plan would be to sacrifice myself to free Amy and hopefully sneak out…I wasn't even sure I had a plan after that part.

Simon laughed again and finally head locked me and I couldn't hear anything after that.

Carlos POV:

I couldn't believe that this was all happening, how could Snow betray us like this, how?

I saw that she was focusing on Logan and Simon and saw the chance to knock off the kunai knife away from her.

She grunted in pain and I ran off straight to where Logan was at.

As I jumped to try to tackle Simon, he disappeared from view, "LOGAN!"

I failed…I couldn't reach to him in time…I couldn't believe it.

I fell to the ground and punched the ground as I punched the ground I heard something not too far.

I was blinded by tears and I couldn't believe how this whole mess ended up being tolled on Logan.

I wish it were me instead of Logan; I instantly felt a sharp pain on my knuckles and wiped some of the tears off of my eyes.

I finally came to view my knuckles were bloody. I tried to close my hands, but it was kind of hard to.

I got up and turned my head to Snow.

She had gotten up and was dusting herself off.

My face must have turned a different color and I charged straight to Snow.

"This is all your fault!" as I charged to Snow, James grabbed me and pulled me in to a hug.

I started sobbing in the shirt of James…I was trying to stop but it was hard to.

I hadn't noticed when Kendall had walked up to Megan.

"Carlos…I had to." I heard Snow's voice from afar, she deserved to die…how could she have let Logan get taken like that?

I got my head up and looked at her straight in the eye.

"YOU HAD TO! This lunatic took one of my best friends, and I don't even know where he's at with Logan…I…I…." I honestly tried to speak but the thought of what might happen to Logan scared my thoughts from prospering.

"You, have some nerve still standing here saying you had to do what you had to do to let Simon take off with Logan like that!" Megan was now furious.

She tackled Snow and started throwing punches, unfortunately Snow was blocking ever last one of the punches being thrown to her.

Kendall ran off to grab Megan, she was now in tears as well, and Kendall just shook his head in disapproval and lifted up his fingers pointing to the exit.

"We have to find Logan, before anything else happens to him…." Kendall didn't want to continue the conversation.

James lifted my head up and I knew he was worried about Logan as well, Kendall was right we had to find Simon and Logan really soon.

As Snow was left behind the House of Mirrors, the rest of us went off in search of Logan.

A/N: I kind of left you guys with a dramatic ending, but hay it isn't a cliffhanger…I hope also sorry for throwing Mr. Garcia all random in the middle he was a necessary for me to add into this chapter…also, you guys thanks again a bunch, I'll get started on typing up Chapter 16 tomorrow when I wake up, right now I wanted you all to try to not hate me…if there are any Logan fans reading this…I have nothing else to say but like I said in Chapter 1 don't flame me, or anyone else ok lol, other than that thanks again. Remember read and review…even though this chapter wasn't how long I wanted it to be at least you guys now know a bit more about the story. Trust me there is more to come you guys….
