The memory faded a ghostly smile played across his features he then thought of the promise he made to England. His mind flashed back to that day.

"England I'm heading out ." America announced. England appeared form the kitchen. America silently thanked god that he didn't have to eat England's cooking.

"Just don't do anything stupid or dangerous." England sighed. Little did he know he was probably going to end up doing both.

"Alright, I promise I wont." America but on his best genuine smile. He hoped he could live up to his promise. He walked out of the door after taking one last look at his love.

Time jumped forward.

"I'm here." Shouted America. He hoped he was here on the right day and not late he took out the letter and read it again

America,

If you wish to keep England alive you will meet us in the ally by the showdown bar and grill, on July 3, 2011 at 12:00pm. Also you must come by yourself unarmed and cannot contact any of the police if you wish your precious England safe. Don't be late.

-Not telling you my name.

Yeah he was at the right place and it was only 11:30 but not to take chances he sat down by the trashcans to rest the next thing he knew is he was being pushed in the back seat of a car and being driven somewhere. When he awoke he saw that he was in a desolate place and it was eerie. The sky had clouded up, it was going to rain. Suddenly he felt himself being turned around and looking up at some one wearing a ski mask, He was about comment that there was no mountains in sight but then thought better of it in his situation. Now he was aware of the sharp pain in his left temple.

"It seems that our guest is finally awake." The voice said it was heavily accented but America couldn't place it. "well lets get straight to business. America, do you know why you're here?"

America scowled "No I have no idea I just know that if I didn't come Iggy would get hurt, and since I'm the hero I had t o come right."

The person seemed to smile , or that's what America thought "Well he thinks he still is the hero." The masked man and his gang started laughing. America frowned at this… wasn't he saving iggy's life?

The man leaned in close, to close for America's comfort. "Let me tell you a secret you are dying for some one but saving no one."

America couldn't breathe was he making it easier for these asses to capture and kill England?

"Don't worry your 'iggy' will be fine but I cant say much for the other nations." The man chuckled," You see America I was going to just hold you hostage but you know our plans and could potentially escape or be rescued, thus making you a liability. So you will now die. Say hi to roman empire for me.

BANG

America felt the lead bullet rip through his chest. An insane laughter filled the air. "I thought heroes didn't die." Realization dawned on him

"Y-You." America chocked out then lapsed into unconscious
