Thanks for the reviews guys. I really hope you like the rest of the story, kinda just got the idea, hope you like it.


Casey slept like a baby. After having to sleep in a chair and then a hospital bed he had great sleep. However once he had woken up everything went back to the way it was - hell. He got up and straight away had to rush to the toilet to vomit. His body ached and his face burned. He leaned up against the wall of the bathroom enjoying the cold tiles on his back. He shrugged it off as an effect of the deprivation of food. He stood up and after several dizzy spells he cleaned himself up and made his way to Angelos for lunch.

Heath was already there with a couple of the river boys and Kyle was behind the bar. "Hey Case" Casey nodded

"Where is everyone" Angelos was never this empty "Dinner had some special thing going on, so slow day again" He answered disappointed.

Kyle looked at Casey noticed him sweating and sort of struggling to walk. "Case you alright" "um yeah" Casey answered after hesitation. Kyle just nodded but stared.

"Well I think it's my shoulder. It's been giving me problems" Kyle moved forward. Casey knowing Kyle was about to give the brotherly lecture "don't worry I'm going to pass by the hospital and ask Nate about it on my way home" Kyle nodded convinced.

"Hey ya squirt" Heath came behind Casey and scruffed up his hair. Casey struggled to lift his hands and fix up his hair.

"Kylie, beer" Heath demanded. He sat down at the bar as the river boys had now left. Just as Kyle turned around and Casey and Heath started a conversation a gunshot fired from behind them. All three of them jumped.

They all looked at the door way seeing Danny standing there gun in his hand facing upwards. "Family reunions eh. Shame Darryl couldn't be here. Woulda loved seeing his reaction to you lots death"

Heath would have lunged at Danny then and there for what he did to Casey, but he knew that doing this would not only put his life in more danger but his brothers too.

Kyle from behind the bar took out his phone put it on silent and texted Brax to call the police. He then came round the bar and stood beside Heath and Casey. "Ahh Kyle. And I thought you were the loyal child, guess Darryl got you soft too eh" Danny said disappointed.

Kyle's blood boiled and he stepped forward but was interrupted. "What do you want" Casey shouted standing up.

Heath put a hand on Casey's chest knowing Casey had a problem in controlling his anger. "I want all the money I lost of mine when your stupid brother had me sent away" Danny spat.

Kyle just sighed. He couldn't believe he ever looked up to this man "You're wasting your time alright. Brax doesn't have that kinda money" Kyle said simply

"Oh he's gonna have to find a way now ain't he. Cause I got his family" Danny said as he sat down on a chair putting his feet up. "Let's give Darryl a call shall we"


Brax read Kyle's text and grabbed his keys. He rang the police on the way there and when he cut the phone Danny called him telling him he had his brothers at gunpoint and he wanted 100 grand.


Casey felt dizzy. 'Not now. Please not now' he thought to himself. He sat down at the closest table and leant into the chair with his eyes closed. Heath and Kyle watched as Casey sat down at the table. Heath looked at Kyle and he shrugged in response, they joined Casey around the small table in the corner of the room.

It had been only half an hour since Danny stormed into Angelos and he was already three quarters down his first bottle of scotch. When the sirens blazed and a man in a mega phone requested Danny to come out.

Any normal family would have been panicking. Being hostages was obviously dangerous and now having the police involved too. But the Braxton's were used to guns being pointed at them and their lives being threatened.

Danny stood up with rage and slammed his hand on the table before pulling out the gun from his pants. "Which one of ya dobbed eh" he waved the gun around.

He walked up to Casey and pulled him out of the seat with one hand. "Was it you. You big old softie"

Casey could smell his foul breathe from a mile away. Heath and Kyle stood up but before they could do anything Danny swung his hand with the gun and whacked Casey round the face. Casey fell with a thud to the ground. Danny finished with on hard kick in the stomach.

Both Kyle and Heath went to lunge at Danny but stopped dead in his tracks when Danny pointed his gun at Casey with his finger on the trigger. Kyle put his hand in front of Heath before he did something stupid.

They both sat down beside Casey. "Casey, Case wake up." Heath said roughly shaking his brother. Although Heath didn't go school he knew the longer your passed the more the concussion has an effect on you.

Casey brought his hand up to his head felt the liquid above his right eyebrow. "Oww" he said sitting up. Kyle grabbed his arm and helped him up leaning him against the pillar next to the table. Casey felt a horrible pain in his stomach. He knew he couldn't breathe properly but it was getting worst. 'Must have been my ribs' he thought. He decided not to worry Heath knowing he'd do something to get them all killed.


Brax had gathered up as much money as he could. He took from his mum and some from Ricky as well. But he couldn't get to a 100 grand. And he knew that Danny wasn't joking when he said he'd kill his brothers for that money.


It'd have been just over an hour and now his second bottle and Danny was pacing knowing he'd never get out of here with all the cops outside. Danny called Brax again and decided to make this Brax's problem and demanded that Brax finds a way out of Angelos without the police getting him. Brax asked for some more time, threatened him a bit and said he'd have the money and a plan soon.

"How'd he...umm...get the money" Casey said slurring. "Case don't worry about that" Heath answered.

Kyle moved from beside Casey and sat next to Heath. "Something's wrong with Casey." Kyle whispered. Heath looked at Kyle instantly. Heath examined Casey. His head was leaning on his hands but you could see him sweating. His hands were shaking and skin was a ghostly white and anyone could tell he was struggling to breathe.

"What's happening" he asked worried "He was meant to go to Nate. His shoulders been bothering him" just then Casey got had a coughing fit and when he brought his hand away from his mouth all three brothers were shocked to see blood covering it.

"Case. What the hell" Heath said. "I...i... my ribs..." he caught his breathe "can't breathe" both brothers just stared at him worried "I'll be fine" Casey rasped.

Casey saw Heaths face. He knew that face Heath planning to do something to get them out. "Please don't (breath) do anything (breath) stupid" Casey said before coughing up more blood. Kyle put his hand on Casey's back. Casey put his back against the wall.

Heath stood up "we gotta Case to the hospital" he shouted at Danny "you're going no where until i get my money and get outta here" Danny replied

"He'll die dad. Your son will die if you don't let him go" Heath pleaded. Casey and never seen this side of Heath before.

"He isn't my son." Danny said laughing "He never was. And I'm glad. Worst son I could ask for." Danny scoffed as he looked at Casey with disgust this was the last thing Casey heard before drifting away into unconsciousness.

Danny stood up to get another drink and Heath caught Danny of guard and grabbed his gun sliding it across the floor and punching Danny before he had the chance to react.

They were each taking turns at punching one another and when Kyle got involved Heath was losing miserably so he grabbed the closest bottle and swung to hit Danny.

Danny's reflexes pushed Kyle which sent him flying backwards and hitting his head on the edge of a table before passing out. But Danny too had fallen to the ground. Heath checked his pulse and got up quickly to get Casey and Kyle out before Danny woke up again.

Getting Casey awake was tough and that worried Heath but by the time Casey responded Danny had woken up and attacked Heath from the back. Casey panicked and saw the gun lying next to him. He reached for it and aimed it at Danny.

Casey's hands were shaking and was terrified of missing and accidentally hurting his brother but he couldn't leave Heath to die at the hands of his father so before thinking again Casey took a shot straight ahead.


Brax was reasoning with the police to leave when they heard a gunshot. He heard a police shout "shots fired! I repeat shots fired" Brax ran.

"Mr. Braxton you can't go in there" shouted the police officer. Brax ignored him and ran thinking the worst. Phoebe, Denny and Bianca stood there shocked each one hoping the ones they love aren't hurt.
