So here's chapter 4.
Enjoy.
Sleep didn't exactly come easy to any of the Jonas' that night. The hotel room the boys were supposed to sleep in was occupied by secruity and two very worried parents.
Nick had been asked question after question regarding the phone call that took place between him and Cane. He felt like he had recited the conversation 10 billion times. First to Joe and Kevin, then to his mom and dad, then to each secruity guard that asked him. It was getting frustrating. All he wanted to do was crawl into his bed and sleep.
He wanted to forget about what was happening and to stop thinking about what might happen. His brothers tried to comfort him but nothing would really help. Their was lunatic after him.
Nick was lost in thought when Ray, one of their body guards, came in and walked over to him. He had a piece of paper in his hand.
Ray sat down the chair across the table from Nick and handed him the paper. Nick scanned it and then brought his eyes back up to the title.
Teen Found Dead in Alley Outside Faymen's Arena
Nick looked up at Ray, his eyes asking the question he already knew the answer too This was Cane's daughter. His heart seemed to skip a beat when he saw her picture. She was wearing a shirt with a big picture of Nick on it, the words I Love You Nick Jonas, written above it.
He couldnt help but read the article:
Fourteen year old, Kasey Reynolds was found dead outside of Faymen's Arena in downtown Maryland late yesterday night. Her brother has confirmed that Kasey was camping out to be first in line to see a concert. Unfortunatly she never made it to that show. Police reports state that she was killed in the early morning hours, and her body wasn't found until late the next day. The casue of death seemed to have been strangulation.
Nick dropped the paper. He couldn't read anymore. Tears had slowly formed in the corners of his eyes and he looked at the floor, putting a hand to his face.
"Why didn't we hear about this?" his voice was barely above a whisper. "How could we not have been told that a fan had died right outside where we performed?"
Ray looked at him sympathetically.
"They didn't find her body till after we were already back on the road. No one heard about it becasue by the time it was in the news we were two states over."
Nick sighed. This seemed too big to have not reached them somehow. He was still in shock when Joe and Kevin walked over.
"Hey, how ya holdin' up?" Kevin asked.
The only answer he gave was a small shake of the head. He picked up the article and handed it to Kevin. While he read, Joe leaned over his shoulder to get a look himself.
After a couple minutes both brothers looked at Nick, whos head hung low. Joe put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Look man, this isn't your fault. You know that right?"
He didn't get an answer. Nick felt guilty, even though deep down he knew it wasn't his fault.
"That girl wasn't killed becasue of you. Just because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"But the wrong place was my concert!"
"No it was our concert Nick. All three of us. The only reason your getting blamed is cause you were her favorite." Joe tried his best to get Nick to see his point.
"Whether I think it's my fault or not, this guy thinks it is," Nick said finally looking up. "And that's all that matters. He's gonna try to kill me."
Nick shook involuntaraly as he remered the threatening words of Cane he had just heard only hours earlier.
"No ones gonna touch you Nick. Nobody here is gonna let them get near you." Kevin said confidently.
"That includes us lil' bro," Joe told him, ruffling his hair.
Nick smiled a little. His brothers were always their for him. He knew that as long as they were with him he'd be fine. If they said that they'd keep him safe then they would do just that.
"Can we go to bed?" Nick asked Ray, who was still sitting across from him.
"Sure ya can," He told him. He escorted Nick and his brothers to the emprty room across the hall and left them alone.
Nick immediatly crawled into the bed and turned to face the wall, hoping he'd be able to sleep. He felt the bed sink in a little as Joe climbed in next to him. Kevin turned the light off and got into his bed.
"Goodnight guys," Kevin said.
"night" Joe and Nick replied sleepily.
Unfortunatly sleep just wouldn't come easily for the young Jonas. He was in a restless sleep all night. Dreaming about Kasey, having nightmares about Cane and Blake. He was thankful when finally the alarm went off, signaling breakfast time.
Sympathetic looks were passed Nick's direction when ever he walked into a room. It's wasn't that he didn't appreciate people being concerned for him, but he was getting tired of them feeling sorry for him. All he wanted to do was get out of the stupid hotel.
He was told he couldn't leave until they told him otherwise. When he called Miley and told her everything she had her dad drive her right over. It had been nice to hang out with her for a while. Her dad made her go back to their hotel when night rolled around.
The day had been long and boring, and no one had told him anything new. to top it all off no one had the slightest clue where Cane and his son were.
Nick's phone was taken from him, just in case Cane would happen to call back. Of course he wouldn't be that stupid. Around 8 that night Nick's dad offered to take them next door for dinner. Even though it was just next door, Nick was thankful to get out of the hotel.
Secruity checked the entire place before they allowed the boys to go in. Once it was cleared they went and got a table. After they ordered Nick decided to go find a bathroom. Kevin tried to go with him, but Nick insisited it was fine.
"Dude, they said hes not here," Nick told him. "I'll be fine."
He appreciated his brother's worry for him though. He walked down a hallway to where the restroom sign pointed but he didn't see one. He saw an employee folding towels, facing the other direction, so he asked him where the bathroom was.
"It's around the corner to the right," he said.
"Thanks," Nick said as he followed the man's directions. When he turned the corner however he didn't see a bathroom. Instead he was starring into the face of Cane Reynolds.
"Hey Nick, long time no see."
Nick was speechless. He wanted to run, to scream, to do something, but his legs weren't working and his mouth seemed to be having the same problem. All he could think about was that their were some secruity members who did a bad job of searching.
Cane grabbed Nick's arm and spun him around, pressing him into the wall. Nick starred at him, fear written all of his features. Cane put his face up close to Nick's.
"What's the matter? Surprised to see me?"
"H-howed you get back here?" Nick stutted, his lip trembling.
Cane just lauhged, "Wasn't hard. I've got a friend who helps me out."
Nick didn't understand that but didn't have time to think about it. Blake came around the corner, car keys in hand.
"The cars out back. We gotta hurry pops."
Nick realized that they were going to take him. He struggled and was about to yell for help when Cane slapped a hand over his mouth, holding him steady. He slammed Nick ruffly against the wall, his head connecting with the hard surface. He was slugged and he felt dizzy.
He heard a familiar voice yell for help just he was slammed into the wall once more. He heard a grunt of pain, and could tell something was happening.
"Blake!" Nick heard Cane yell. "Hey get off my son!"
"Then let go of my brother!"
Nick was let go, he slid to the floor, his head feeling cloudy. Brother? Joe was here? What was going on. He tried to look but he felt like he couldn't move. His head was pounding in his ears. He thought he heard Joe yell his name at the same time he heard a door slam.
It seemed like forever till he heard any noise again. It was footsteps. Then all of sudden his dad was there, hands gripping the side of his face.
"Nick, what happened.?"
"I dunno," Nick managed to say. "Cane...Joe? Joe came dad. He stopped them. They were gonna take me."
His dad looked at him shocked. Then he loked up at Kevin.
"Kevin, where is Joe?"
Kevins face was white and he mumbled, almost incoherently, "He's not here dad."
Nick looked around slowly and finally realized that Cane, Blake, and Joe were gone. No, he thought. He tried to stand but his head protested cruelly. Everything was happening fast. Police came down the hallway and Nick heard Rob say something he didn't want to hear put into words.
"They took his older borther Joe, he's gone."
Nick felt numb. His brother was gone. He didn't bother to try to stand anymore. He knew his legs wouldn't work right now. His head pounded violently.
"Joe..." he mumbled, then everything went black.
