Chapter 5:
Alex's P.O.V
The police still didn't believe us; they got us to pull over into an empty parking lot. Nick, Summer and I were sitting on the curb, Joe was over talking to the police. We still need to get out of here, Nick was showing all the same symptoms all over again; he said that what Joe did was temporary and that he needed the hospital. "I called the ambulance, they should be here shortly." One of the police officers said. All I did was nod, and look down past summer and to Nick. He looked just like he did when we escaped. I don't think that Nick can stand this anymore. We can't waste any time here, who ever took me and Nick would be looking for us by now. We need to get somewhere safe before they find us here. "We need to get out of here; they are going to find us." Nick said, he sounded so sick. Kind of like he had been running for hours and you just don't feel so good. "I know...I am trying to think of something." I said as I stood up. I just started passing back and forth; what to do now? I asked myself. I didn't pay attention to anything I was just trying to think of something that will help the police know that Joe was only helping us. These cops must be new on the job considering they are not believing anything we say, and that they didn't know what to do. They kept questioning each other, it's almost like they weren't really cops. "Nick what is it?" Summer asked. I jumped from my thought and turned to Nick. His face was pale, like he had seen a ghost. "Nick?" I asked him again. He didn't do anything he just lifted his hand and pointed behind me. I turned around and there it was. "Damn it" was all I could say, my whole body froze. I couldn't get anything out of my mouth. I wanted to scream or run; just something useful to tell them we're in trouble.
Kevin's P.O.V
Nick is still missing and the detective came back again. "Where are they?" yelled some guy on the screen. I jolted back and saw that Nick wasn't there, just a couple of guys. One more guy came rushing into the room. "Find them...wait I'll call my contact. He'll find them and stall until we could get them back." The guy said, who was obviously the leader. "They're gone! They escaped!" I yelled out. I looked over to the lounge where my parents were talking to the detective. "What?" My mom said, as she ran towards me. "We just need to find them; who ever these guys are will be looking for them now. We need to find them." I said as my mom looked at the screen. The detective started taking notes on their voices, and the one guy who wasn't covering his face. I got up and grabbed my jacket. "Where do you think you're going?" my dad asked. "I am going to try and find them!" I yelled; "I can't just sit here leaving Nick out there. I tried calling Joe; he's not picking up his phone. My brothers are out there! I am going to find them" I said. I got to the door handle and stopped when I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Don't do this son" My dad said. "Dad, those are my little brothers out there. I can't just sit here and do nothing. I'll have my cell...call me if they're found or if there is any clue to where they might be." I said. My dad didn't say anything he just had tears in his eye's I knew what he was thinking. He has one son missing, another out looking for him, and now I am about to leave him too. "Dad, I have to do this." I whispered. He still said nothing; the silence in the room was killing me. After what felt like hours my dad pulls me into a hug. "Goodbye, dad" I said as I left out the door. I knew that I had to find my brothers, even if it killed me; even if it took my whole life. I don't care as long as they're safe.
Alex's P.O.V
I stood there frozen looking at the familiar black van, I need to tell Joe, or Summer. These cops could be working for them. What if they are just stalling us, until they get here? I asked myself. "What is it?" Joe asked once he saw my face. I had fear running through my body, I'm guessing that my face showed it. "It's them" was all I said. "Who?" Joe questioned. "They found us...Nick we have to run" I said as I turned around to face Nick. "What? Wait, you guys will be safe. I'll make sure of it. Don't worry you'll be safe. I promise" Joe said as he looked straight into my eyes. "You promise?" I asked, still in fear that we would have to go back to that room and beg for our lives. "Yes, I promise. No matter what happens you will get home to your family" Joe said holding my shoulders lightly. I nodded and Joe pulled me into a hug. "Don't Move!" Someone yelled from behind us. Joe slowly let me go and turned around. The black van was parked there and the cops were knocked out on the ground. "What are you doing?" Joe asked. The guy pointed a gun to Joe and got out of the car, "Don't talk...don't move...don't even breathe without me saying so." The guy said. "I bet you're going to want to thank your helper" he said as he opened the door and Derek fell out. "Derek! Are you okay?" I asked. "Yea, don't worry kid." Derek said as he tried to get up. Derek looked like he had just gotten hit by a car, twice. "You two *points to me and Nick* get in the van." The 'leader' said. Fear swept over me again, I turned and looked over to Nick who was trying to stand up. Summer got up and supported Nick, while Joe pushed me behind him. "Take Me" Joe yelled. Nick, Summer and I all shot our heads to Joe. "Take me, not them. You want money? I can handle anything and they will pay for me. I will take their place" Joe said explaining. "Nick!" Summer said. I couldn't look around to Nick, Joe left me in shock. "What are you doing?" I whispered to Joe. "Just let me do this. Nick won't last much longer... he needs a hospital and I can handle this." Joe said. "Quit with the whispering!" the guy said. He was still holding the gun to Joe, or me I don't really know. I'm behind Joe so it could be that he wants to get to me. "Give us a good reason to take you instead of that squirt and the lovely young lady." He asked. "One reason...Nick is diabetic he won't last very much longer. He could die before you get your money and you'll never get the money. With me I can handle it and you'll get your money." Joe said, not taking his eye off the gun. "Joe, Nick needs a doctor." Summer said from behind us. I finally looked behind us. Nick was lying on the ground, maybe he fainted. "Alright you can take his place but were still taking the girl." The 'leader' said. "What? No, I am taking both their places" Joe said realizing he never helped me out of this yet. "No, you can take Nick's place. That's the only deal I'll make." He replied. "Nick" Summer said as she was trying to wake up Nick. "I'll go" I said stepping out from behind Joe. "What are you doing?" Joe asked. "Nick needs help. I'll go, just please don't let them hurt me" I said. "Wise choice." The guy said. "Joe?" Nick called out. I turned around and saw him; he was slowly waking up; although he did look really weak. All the symptoms from earlier were showing again. "Nick, everything is okay. Summer the ambulance will be here soon. Take care of my little brother" Joe said as he ran over to Nick. "Joe what are you doing?" Nick asked. "Don't worry about me." Joe said. "Let's go" the 'leader' said. "Joe, are you doing what I think you're doing?" Nick asked as he slowly got up, with Summer's help. Joe was giving Nick a hug while I felt someone grab my arm. I was dragged over to the van and someone was tying my arms behind my back. "Joe" I called out. I really didn't wanna go. I just thought the ambulance would've showed up and called more cops for backup. But it didn't go the way I planned; Joe and I are really being taken. Joe looked back to me and ran towards me. He stopped in a mid sprint, why did he just stop like that? I asked myself. I was about to turn around when I felt something on my head. Then I realized it was a gun when I heard the guy get ready to shoot. Fear swept over me, and I saw the fear Joe had in his eyes.
Joe's P.O.V
There was Alex with a gun pointed to her head and she had fear in her eyes. "Do you have any cell phones, or weapons?" The guy holding Alex asked. I slowly reached in my pocket and pulled out my cell phone. "Put it on the ground and walk away from it." He said. I reached down and set my cell on the ground and started walking towards where Alex was. "Turn around." He told me. I turned around and felt someone tying my hands behind my back. "Joe, don't do this. Alex, why are you letting him do this?" Nick started yelling. Summer grabbed Nick once he tried to run to me with what little strength he had left. "Nick, I'll be fine. Just wait here for the ambulance and I'll be fine. Summer my home number is on my cell. Call my parents and tell them where you and Nick are and what happened with me. Just don't tell them about me until you're talking with them in person." I said just before I was going to be dragged into the black van. I was picked up and literally thrown into the van; I winced in pain as I fell on my side and pain shot through me all along my right side. Soon enough after Alex landed right next to me, with a loud thud. "Are you okay?" Alex asked as she tried to hide the pain in her voice. "Yea, are you?" I replied. "Yea, I just want to go home" she said. "I know I will get us out of this. I promise, you will get to see your family again." I said trying to comfort her. She just nodded and kept silent for the rest of the ride. We kept silent; I couldn't stop thinking about Nick. I kept on wondering if he was okay.
The ride was surprisingly short; first they grabbed Alex and dragged her out with me following soon after. Alex was being lead right in front of me as were dragged into a rundown building. The building looked so familiar I just don't remember when I had seen it before. I was pulled back to reality when I heard Alex grunt as she was thrown into a room. I didn't have enough time to react before I was dragged to another room. "Joe!" I heard Alex yell. I started to struggle and try and get back to where they were keeping Alex. Then there was something that hit me over the head, I fell to the ground and everything started getting blurry. Everything went dark.
Summer's P.O.V
Nick was still sleeping; after Joe and Alex were taken again Nick stopped fighting and passed out again. I still had Joe's phone, I guess I should call his parents now; I almost forgot about calling them. I looked through all the numbers until I found one with the label 'Home' on it. I phoned them and waited for someone to answer. I took another look at Nick and he was still sleeping, the monitor was still beeping so I figure he's okay. "Joe?" a worried woman answered. "Uh...is this Mrs. Lucas?" I asked. "Yea, who is this?" She asked. "Uhh...Joe told me to call you and to tell you that Nick is here with me at the USC Medical Center, and he is fine." I said into the phone. "Who are you? Where is Joe?" Mrs. Lucas asked. "I'm summer I helped Joe find Nick, I think you should come down. I think Nick would like family around when he wakes up, and the doctor needs to talk to immediate family." I explained. "Wait, where Joe?" she asked. "Uh, I think you should come down and I'll tell you." I said. Mrs. Lucas finally agreed and I hung up the phone. I looked at Nick and he was still asleep. I really hope he wakes up before his mom came, the doctor said if he did wake up, he could be confused. I was getting a little impatient waiting for Nick to wake up; I still wanted to know if Joe and Alex were okay. "Alex?" I heard someone ask. I turned around and Nick was slowly opening his eyes. "No, it's me summer. Joe and I found you and Alex." I explained. "Alex! Joe! Where are they?" Nick asked as he tried to get up. "No, Nick you need to stay calm." I said running over to Nick. "No, where is Joe? I need Joe" Nick yelled. "Can I get some help in here?" I screamed. Two nurses and a doctor came rushing into the room; another nurse came into the room; "Come with me I'll show you the waiting room" She said. "No, I wanna stay with him." I protested. She eventually pulled me out of the room.
I didn't even sit down; I wanted to know if Nick was okay. Since I wasn't family they weren't telling me anything. I was just pacing back and forth. "Summer?" someone questioned. "Yea?" I answered as I turned around. It was Joe's mom, I saw her in a magazine once. "Where are Nick and Joe?" she asked. "Uh, there is something I need to tell you." I said pointing to a chair. She sat down with her husband and I sat across from them. I slowly began to tell them everything that happened; and how Joe took Nick's place so that he could come here and get help. After both of them stopped freaking out, they went in to see Nick. The nurses put Nick back to sleep, just now I noticed the cuts and busies on his face. "Why is he still asleep?" Mrs. Lucas asked as she ran to his side. "Uh, he was awake but he was starting to get worried and tried to get up so they put him back to sleep." I explained. "What's all this?" Mrs. Lucas asked when she saw the cut. "Uh, those were from when he was taken. They were kind of rough with him." I said. "Oh, Nick" Mrs. Lucas whispered. I felt so bad; I didn't know what to do. "Did you call Kevin?" Mrs. Lucas asked her husband. "I'll do that right now." He replied. "Do you want anything to eat or drink?" I asked Mrs. Lucas as pulled a chair up to her. "Uh, sure I'll just have a coffee." She replied taking the chair and sat down next to Nick's bed. "Sure, I'll be right back." I said. I walked down the street to a star bucks and got some coffee for me Mr and Mrs. Lucas. By the time I got back everyone was still silent, and worried about Nick. "Thank you, honey." Mrs. Lucas said once I gave her the cup of coffee. Mr. Lucas took another cup and I grabbed the last one. "So how did you end up here?" she asked. "Uh, I am a friend of Alex's and I found Joe sleeping in his car. We met and found out that Alex, and Nick were both taken by the same people. We started looking around and found them, that's when he switched with Nick." I explained. "Oh, so you know who they are don't you?" Mr. Lucas asked. "Yea, they're all a part of the band JONAS" I answered. "Yea" Mrs. Lucas said. "Yea, but my friend Alex never...well she has heard of them, she just doesn't know that they are Nick and Joe." I said. "Well, I just hope they find them soon." Mr. Lucas said. "Did you get a hold of Kevin?" I asked. "Yea, he is going to where you said Joe and Alex were taken and he is going to look around there first before he comes here." Mr. Lucas said. I just mouthed oh and looked back to Nick. I heard the door open and a doctor walked in. "Hi, um are you Nick's family?" he asked. "Yea, how is he?" Mrs. Lucas asked. "Well he is stable, and he should be waking up soon. But the last time he woke up he was a little confused. Were thinking that he could have short term memory loss, it could be temporary. But we'll know when he wakes up. If he remembers what happened then he will be fine and you can take him tomorrow." The Doctor said. "Alright." Mrs. Lucas said. The doctor left and we all sat there just waiting for Nick to wake up.
I don't know how long it had been, I think that it's been three hours since we woke up. Sleeping in a chair is not very comfortable, Nick still never woke up. Every little movement he made, we all jumped up and ran to him. Kevin came in sometime last night and was sleeping on a chair beside Nick's bedside. "When do you think he'll wake up?" I asked. "I don't know...but the doctor said it would be soon." Mr. Lucas said. "Yea, that was twelve hours ago." I replied. "I know, the nurse said the doctor would be back to check on Nick in a couple hours." Mrs. Lucas. I nodded and we sat and waited. Everything will be okay, I said to myself. But for now I can only hope.
Please review, and tell me how I am doing. What do you think will happen? Will Nick remember what happen? Will Joe and Alex ever get out? One more thing please be patient with me. I'm still new to this.
