Thanks to everyone who reviewed my last chapters. I really appreciate it.
Keep in mind im writing this for the second time, at 2 in the morning, because my computer froze and I lost what iI had done. So I'm kinda frustrated but I'l do my best.
It took more than just a little bit of convincing to let the brothers still go on. All three brothers were pushing for it, even though Joe and Kevin were concerned for Nick's well-being. The secruity team found footage of a black Pontiac Grand Prix exiting the arena parking lot not long after the note was found. It wasn't convincing enough for them though.
"Guys come on!" Nick yelled. "Those fans out their, you hear them right?" Everyone backstage could hear the chanting, Jonas! Jonas! Jonas!
"It's to risky Nick, I'm sorry, really I am, but these men could be dangerous, they could still be here!" Big Rob tried to pound that information into the curly haired kid he swore to protect.
Nick sighed angrily, "They won't do anything in front of thousands of people! They may be crazy but I doubt they're that stupid."
Mr. Jonas came to Nick's defense, "Let them do their show. We know your trying to do your job, but these boys can't not go out their. Thousands of fans bought tickets to see them."
"It's not just that dad. I wanna go out there!" Nick said. "I owe it to our fans, and I want whoever it is that left that note to realize I'm not gonna be scared of him."
"Okay Nick, okay," Rob walked away, speaking into his walkie talkie. Nick could have sworn he heard him say "the show goes on."
He smiled and ran to Joe and Kevin to tell them the good news. Within minutes they were positioned to come down on the stage and give the fans what they wanted.
"Ahh! That was amazing!" Joe yelled after they finished. Nick was still smiling as Kevin slapped him on the back.
"Take your mind of things, did it?" Nick nodded.
Joe laughed, "Dude you totally just talked like Yoda." Kevin smacked Joe playfully on the head. Nick laughed at his brothers.
A little while later their dad came running over to them.
"Come boys. We're going to the hotel we booked. We've got the whole floor so you'l have your privacy."
He hurried the boys down the arena hallway and out the back door, where Big Rob was waiting outside the limo.
Joe looked at his dad once they were all situated inside, "Whats goin on dad? You never make us leave this fast any other day."
Their dad snapped, "Well today isn't just 'any other day' is it Joe?!" All three brothers flinched a little. Their dad didn't usually yell like that.
He brushed his hand through his hair. "I'm sorry I yelled. It's just...well you see," he sighed deeply and laid his back, closing his eyes. "We'll talk about it when we get to the hotel."
Nick knew this had something to do with him. It has too, he thought. The entire ride to the hotel was silent. When they pulled up, more guards were waiting for them and they were escorted to their floor. It was nice to have the whole floor. They needed peace and quiet after a day like today.
Each brother got their own room, but as soon as Nick had showered he made his way to Joe's room. He knocked quietly.
"I thought you'd show up," Joe said as he opened the door. "Just can't sleep without your big brother huh?"
"Shut up," Nick said playfully, throwing a pillow at Joe.
An awkward silence set in.
Nick made a coughing sound, "So uh, has dad said anything yet about, well whatever he said we'd talk about?" He looked at Joe for an answer.
"Nah man," Joe shook his head. "He'll probably tell us whatever it is when we're all together."
"I bet it's about the guys, you know in the car. Maybe they foun..." The door opened when Nick was mid-sentence. Kevin walked in with their parents.
"Sit down boys," their father said. Kevin, Joe and Nick sat down side by side by side on one of the beds. Their parents sat on the bed next to theirs.
"So you know how the car was seen leaving the parking lot?" They all nodded. I knew it, Nick thought.
"Well they checked the licsence plate, and it doesnt exactly belong to the nicest person," That was their dads way of saying 'he's the devil'. "His names Cane Reynolds, and we think the other guy in the car was his 19 old son Blake."
"What did they do?" Kevin asked. "Why do you think they're so dangerous?"
"Cane just escaped from a federal prison in Maine," Their mom answered this time. She looked frightened but she continued, "He was in prison for comitting 3 murders. He was supossed to be serving a life sentence."
Joe put his arm around Nick's shoulders.
Nick didn't understand, "But what do I have to do with anything? I've never even heard of them!"
His mom and dad shook their head.
"We don't know son," his dad sounded really stressed. "We're going to figure it out, but you have to realize that you cant perform till the police catch him." Nick sat up and began to protest, but his dad cut him off, "No! These men are dangerous Nick, and for whatever reason they're after you. Your our son and you'll do what we say."
Deep down Nick understood, but he felt like being difficult. He crossed his arms and looked at the ground.
His mom stood up and touched his cheek, "We want you to be safe sweetie."
Nick smiley sadly at his mom becasue he couldn't let his mom feel bad. She smiled back and said goodnight to the boys. So did their father.
Once they were gone, the room was silent as the boys got ready for bed. Kevin made his way to leave but Nick stopped him. All he did was look at his younger brother and Kevin knew what he wanted.
"Course I'll stay kid," he ruffled his hair. Nick smiled softly.
Nick crawled into bed next to Joe as Kevin got into the other one. It surprised Nick how fast he fell asleep.
He woke though when he heard his cell phone ringing. He sat up in bed and got his phone out of the pocket of the jeans he'd had on earlier. He didn't recognize the number but answered it anyway.
"Hello?"
Silence.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"Whats up kiddo?" Nick froze at the sound of the voice on the other end of the phone. It sounded so cold, so mean.
He was shaking slighty as he said, "I as-sked you who this was?"
"Well, well, well. I've wanted to talk to you for about 2 years now," the man laughed. Nick found nothing funny.
"What do you want?"
"What do I want? I want you. Dead." He had stopped laughing. Nick almost dropped the phone, but he had to know.
"Why?"
Apparently thats a touchy subject. The man sounded angry now. Real angry.
"How dare you ask me that boy! Your gonna pay. You hear me? Your gonna pay!" Nick was shaking so bad he was surprised it didn't wake Joe up.
"She was full of life! Happy, funny, smart, beautiful!" Nick was so confused. It sounded like the man was crying, but his voice sounded so mean.
"You took her from us Nick Jonas, and now your gonna be taken from the ones that love you."
Nick managed to speak, "Who are you talking about?"
"My DAUGHTER!" he screamed. "She loved you, your damn posters were everywhere. She sang your stupid songs everytime she walked into a room."
If Nick was confused before then now he was reading a college level calculus book.
"All she wanted was to meet you. And now she's dead." Nick's heart sank. A fan died. But how was this my fault.
"I don't understand what your talki..." He was cut off.
"You will Nick. It's YOUR fault shes dead. And it's gonna be my fault that your gonna die."
"NO!" Nick cried.
The phone was yanked from his hand.
"You son of a bitch!" Joe yelled into the phone. "Leave my brother alone!"
Joe stopped talking and looked at Nick. Kevin had turned the light on by then and saw Nick had a few tears running down his face and he looked scared.
Nick starred back at Joe and watched as his jaw clenched.
"No," Joe said in a tone Nick had never heard before. "You won't get close enough. I wont let you touch my brother."
He hung up the phone and threw it to the ground. Kevin picked up the phone and dialed his parents room number.
Joe hugged Nick to him and Nick finally stopped shaking.
If the police didn't catch this guy soon Nick figured he'd go crazy. He still had no idea what Cane had been talking about. Nick didn't even know his daughter, let alone cause her death.
But all that mattered was that Cane believed he did, and he was going to make him pay.
