That was the most reviews I've ever gotten for one chapter. I love you guys.

Here's chapter 11: Dedicated to ListeningtoJonas, for being an awesome reviewer since the beginning.

Enjoy.

Nick could feel his throat tighten as he slouched back in his seat, eyes glued to the gun that was currently aimed in his direction. His eyes were wide with fear as his mind slowly grasped the fact that Big Rob's most 'trusted' man was the one man who should have never been trusted in the first place.

Anger swept over Nick, momentarily fading the fear. This man had known where Joe was the whole time. He had been the one to let Cane into the restaurant the day he was taken. He played a part in his brother's pain.

"How could you?" Nick glared at Ray.

Ray chcukled, "It's easier than you think kid. Money goes a long way with a man who doesn't care about much. Cane's paying me twice as much to help him hurt you as your people are paying me to protect you."

"But we're kids. How can any money make you wanna hurt a kid?"

"Kid or no kid, money is money. And trust me, it's a lot of money," Ray returned with a smirk. "Just sit back and chill out kid. You've got about twenty minutes till you'l get to see your brother."

Nick shuddered, not wanting to think about the condition Joe must be in.

"Is he gonna kill me?" Nick asked quietly.

Ray glanced at him quickly, then returned his eyes to the road. "I dunno kid. All I'm doing is dropping you off, getting my money, and then I'm gone."

"But wha..." Nick was caught off by Ray, his tone of voice hardened.

"Just shut up, alright. Save your begging for someone who actually wants to hear it."

Nick took a look at the clock and sighed. Facing foward once more, he closed his eyes tightly, dreading what twenty minutes would bring him.

Kevin looked at his watch.

20 minutes.

Many things were going through his head. The main one being that Ray and Nick should be their by now. They should have heard something.

He paced up and down the hallway, waiting for the door to the secruity room to open up and tell him that his brothers were coming home safe.

Almost as if someone inside could read his mind, the door was thrust open by a furious looking Big Rob. Not noticing that Kevin was there, Rob growled deep in his throat, mumbling over and over about how stupid he was. He slammed a fist into the wall and then put his hands over his face.

Fear gripped Kevin as he stood stock still, not able to make his presence known for fear of what he might learn.

Why would Rob be acting like this? Kevin thought to himself. Something must have happened. Something went wrong.

Kevin found his heart beginning to race as possible senarios ran through his mind. Maybe they hadn't found Joe, maybe they took Nick, maybe Joe wasn't okay.

He couldn't stand it, but the more he thought about it, the more he realized that something was wrong. Nothing felt right to him. It hadn't since Nick told him he was leaving. His connection with his brother's, he like to think, was strong enough to tell him that nothing was okay.

No matter how much he didn't want to hear what had happened, because it was obviously not good news judging by Big Rob's actions, he made himself known.

Rob's head snapped up at the sound of Kevin's slight cough.

"Kevin," Rob said softly.

"What's wrong, what happened, where are my brothers?" Kevin's voice shook uncontrolably as he spoke, but his questions just rambled on.

"Woah, slow down," Rob told him. He looked at the floor for a moment and then looked directly into Kevin's eyes. "I was wrong about the whole situation. I was stupid, and I used bad judgement. I'm so sorry Kevin."

Kevin could feel tears forming as his thoughts were confirmed. Something went terribly wrong.

"What happened?"

"Ray. Ray happened."

Kevin looked at Big Rob, utterly confused.

"He was Cane's inside man. I didn't see it, I didn't even suspect it. I trusted him more than the rest, and he was the one the whole time."

Kevin stared at Big Rob, his mouth slightly open, "So your saying that my little brother is in the car with the dude who's working for the other dude that wants to kill him?!"

"Yes."

Kevin's legs felt like rubber. He didn't know how much more bad news he could handle hearing.

"How did you find out that it was Ray?"

"Because he never showed up with Nick at the trade spot. We believe he's taking Nick to Cane."

"Do, uh, do my parents know yet?"

"No. I was going to tell them when I ran into you."

"Well, good luck with that," Kevin turned around, his face an unnatural shade of white. His hands shook, with anger, with fear, with guilt.

Once he got back into his room he didn't know what to do. He felt like acting like Big Rob had. He wanted to punch something, he wanted to scream, he wated to get away.

But since he couldn't do any of that, he cried.

At first they were sobs as he thought of Joe being taken, then tears flowed as he remembered the tape, his brother's painful screams. He leaned against the wall, running his hands through his messy curly hair. He thought of Nick, scared in the car with Ray, and he cried harder.

His brother's were what kept him strong, and now he was alone.

His shoulders shook as he cried harder than he had in as long as he could remember. He sank to the floor and cried.

Alone.

By the time Ray pulled into the garage of a nasty, old looking building, Nick was a mess.

He was scared. Scared of what would happen to him, scared of what Kevin was going through, but most of all, he was scared of seeing Joe.

Ray slammed his door and then walked around to the passenger side and yanked the door open. He grabbed Nick's arm ruffly and dragged him out of the car.

They went to the door and Ray knocked twice. Moments later, Nick was staring into the face of the man whom he'd watched beat his brother.

Cane grabbed Nick by the collar of his shirt and pulled him into the house.

"I'll be back in a second," Cane said, leading Ray into a room. "Make yourself at home." Cane laughed as he closed the door behind him and Ray.

Nick stared at the door for a moment, to scared to move. Then he was struck with a painful longing to be with his brother. He heard a noise from behind him, and he slowly turned.

What he saw made his knees weak. Nick's breath hitched in his throat and his heart sped up to an unhealthy rate as he ran to his brother.

Joe was tied ruffly to a wooden chair, his face was down but Nick could see dried blood on his temple. Every breath he watched his brothers take seemed painful and forced. Nick was afraid to see the damge that was underneath his blood soaked shirt.

"J-Joe?" Nick barely got it out above a whisper. He watched for any reaction.

Joe's head slowly rose, and he met his brother's eyes with a pain filled greeting. Nick felt tears roll down his cheeks as he saw the pain in Joe's eyes.

"Wha-what are y-you doing h-ere?" Joe bagan to cough. Each word had been too much of an effort for his bruised and broken body.

"They got me too bro," Nick said. He sat with a hand lightly on Joe's shoulder, too afraid of hurting him to touch him anywhere else. He tried to comfort him as he coughed, but to Nick's horror blood leaked out of the side of Joe's mouth.

"Oh Joe," Nick cried. "I'm so sorry this happened to you."

"Better me than you lil bro," Joe managed to say, finally getting his cough under control.

A door slammed and Nick looked up at Cane.

"So nice of you to join us Nick. I've been waiting."

So sorry for taking a long time. School had me swamped their for awhile.

But I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Please tell me what you think.
