Chibiyu: Joe ran away…*goes and cries*

Kevin: Nick didn't come back and Joe went to 'find him'.

Chibiyu: Everything I torture leaves me! *Runs off crying*

My own personal version of J.O.N.A.S so technically I do own it but I don't own the Jonas Brother's or anything associated with them.

()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()NICK'S POV

"Nick…I want you to tell the other JONAS operatives that I kept my oath, they got nothing from me. I am a loyal and true JONAS and proud to have been your first mentor. Goodbye." She put the gun to her temple before I could even open my mouth.

A boom shattered through the room and her blood splattered on my face but I didn't care. I'd won but I lost…these people were insane…I could never trust Joe again…not after this…


NICK'S POV

Danger I was used too, fear I could handle, but heart break from knowing of Joe's betrayal was a new sport, a new curveball for me. Something that stung more than a broken bone or a bullet to the chest. But I hid it. I knew why Joe fought me, to protect our little brother and I was perfectly fine with that and forgave him but cheating? Yes I would have beaten him but would I have turned him over? No. I would have rather died for him than do that. I would have died for you Joe…

Enough.

Leaning against the health hazard called a wall, not caring for the dried blood stains wiping off on my JONAS uniform, I started making a plan. Its game time LEMUR, hope your ready for my curveball.

My cell is 4x4x8 feet, everything pure concrete except the steel door with reinforce hinges. Child's Play. The hall was a straight shot dead end, one way out, 9 doors on each side, 5 were cells, 2 were interrogation chambers of I-cham's, and 2 were torture chambers or T-cham's, the same number of all three rooms on each side judging by the doors. It was exactly 146 steps form my cell to the exit and 71 running strides. Camera's lined the halls, one set up after every three doors and in every corner, no blind spots but they were low tech and feeding a loop will be no issued for Viper. Infrared lasers were only at night and I planned for morning escape. Simple. The only hard thing were the agents. But I could fight my way through if need be. Now…were did they put my spy stuff?

I have two days, my clock is ticking for a plan, for the information, for torture, but I can take it. I was a JONAS agent after all. I wonder how Joe will lie to everyone…

My door opened soundlessly and I gauged the heaviness of it from the air rushing into my little prison.

"Time for another game."


JOE'S POV

Nick hated me, Frankie hated me after he got back, already surprisingly me with telling me he about this all along, and I hated myself. Kevin got home an hour after I did and he didn't answer any of my questions, a grim look on his face as he told me to be quiet. Even Kevin hated me for reasons I do not know.

"Where's Nick?" Kevin suddenly asked, without looking up.

Crap did not have time to think of a lie…uhh…think Joe darn it!

"He's…He's at Macy's…staying the night to work on a history project…Macy called while you were out." I blabbed, thanking my brain and Macy's ability to keep a secret as I texted her quickly and she replied with a single 'Ok,' again, odd.

Kevin shrugged and I sighed in relief; one obstacle pulverized. Now…ow to bust Nick out?

I would have to find where he is being held and evaluate the security and either bust Nick out or tell him subtly, but would he trust me? There was no way he could have a plan himself yet…wait…Viper's bruises and cuts and burns when we released him and he was not the best…oh no…Nick…what are they going to do to my little brother?


NICK'S POV

I walked out with the man, not even trying to escape nor fiddling with my primitive handcuffs and he led me into a new room as I counted the steps, savoring and locking away every bit of information this hall gave me. The room held three big fish tanks filled with water and my heart sunk, figuring out that they weren't going to put fish in there. The door opened again and two other JONAS agents walked in, their names I knew not but they obviously heard of me because they nodded in respect and whispered my code name; Python. I nodded back.

"Talk, or two of you drown." The man that led me in here ordered but none of us spoke, holding each other's gazes we all knew the JONAS Oath was more sacred than out lives and if LEMUR ever found out a thing about JONAS, our friends, our company, would fall. "Not a peep huh? I gave you a choice…I guess you first demonstration wasn't enough for you…" He trailed off and walked behind me, leading me to the tank on the left while the others went to the free ones. "Any last words?" He whispered, the LEMUR agents grabbing us tightly.

"Will the living agent tell JONAS we didn't give anything away?" The single girl in the group asked us and I nodded, the other fellow agent following. A hand went to the back of my head and I took a deep breath before my head was submerged.

Two of us would die.


KEVIN'S POV

I could do nothing for Nick nor could I tell Joe I knew or how I knew…not yet. But I knew what happened on the roof and I hated Joe for doing that to Nick, but he had no choice. I hope Nick saw it that way. But if Joe played fair and Nick won…would Nick have done his mission? Would he have turned Joe in? I had to wait and see…but there was a plan in the making so I wasn't too far behind anymore. I could end this pointless feud. I can stop this war.


NICK'S POV

How long could an average JONAS hold their breath one might ask? I would answer, if you were qualified, 3.5 minutes. How long could I? 4 minutes. Barely. Even that seemed to be a stretch. But how long could we all last before the first death?

Saying the water was cold would be wrong. Saying the water was ice would be better. Cold water worked faster than hot, due to shivering and muscles using more energy and oxygen to stay warm. I felt it at work in under two minutes. I saw the guy next to me convulse a few seconds later and I closed my eyes, hearing a LEMUR's triumphant scream. Monster.

It was just me and the girl.


JOE'S POV

Why was Kevin angry and avoiding my questions? Was he in on this too? Was he a JONAS spy?

"Frankie!" I yelled and said brother ran over to me and glared but said nothing, thankfully. "Listen I need you to do something for me, something spy related."


NICK'S POV

Now I can say I've experienced the numbing and terrifying experience of being drowned. I can say I've knocked on death's door and played ding-dong ditch. I can say I came an inch from death. I thought I was dead when the black overtook my vision and air became the last thing on my mind. I thought I was doomed when my only real thought was I am going to die in a stupid fight with Joe, I can never fix it. But I didn't die. The unnamed girl did a second before I lost everything. All I remembered was being pulled from the water and coughing until my lungs burned and then nothing.

I woke up back here with a heavy heart. Three have died sine I've been here. Three in 5 hours according to my analogue LEMUR tested watched. Apparently they wanted me to count the seconds where I wasn't being rescued. Oldest torture trick in the book. But the weird thing was, it still worked after long periods, but not on me. I had a plan and I intended to act upon it.

I was currently sitting, leaning against the wall again, eyes closed and thinking but I made it look like I was asleep. I heard someone knock loudly on the door and the sound echoed across the room and I opened my eyes a crack to see it opening before closing them, not really caring at this point what they did to me. No, I take that back, I cared, but I knew I couldn't stop it without ruining my plans.

"Nick?" Only that voice could make me open my eyes, which I did and I held no emotion back. I let the lack of fear, the hate, the anger, the pain of losing three comrades show in my face, but did he know? Did Joe know what they did down here? I remained silent as watched him bit his lip. "They told me the best don't make mistakes…"

"And brothers don't betray." I finished for him, not giving him the chance to go on though I know he wanted to. He flinched t my words but kept talking.

"They don't but let me finish. The best don't make mistakes and you didn't, I did. I should have never called for them but I was afraid fro Frankie and that if you won and took me, they would kill him…" He trailed off and I sighed, putting my forehead on his only because I couldn't use my bound hands.

"Joe, it's ok. I wouldn't have taken you, I would have rather died and Frankie would have been ok. But I guess it is better this way for the family because obviously, I'm not dead. I am not mad at you for being a good brother but for cheating…" I withdrew until I was leaning against the wall again. "I am." Joe looked to his hands. "Its not my nature to hold a grudge Joe but what you did was completely uncalled for and wrong and you know it. LEMUR agents may not have the same rule as JONAS but we all know the laws of a fight and you broke them." I looked to Joe again and he raised his gaze. "I still love you Joe…but I am not sure if I can trust you."

Joe sighed but the heavy emotions in his eyes lightened and he hugged me gently and kissed the top of my head, having no words and I didn't care really, he did this huggy moment all the time when we 'fought' over stupid things. He pulled away and looked to his watch and I knew this visit was being timed.

"So, brothers?" He asked hesitantly and I smiled small.

"Always." It was his turn to smile but just because we were brothers, did not revive my trust in Joe.

"What did they do to you?" Joe asked but I remained silent, sparring him the details he would hear in bragging later no doubt. But would it be better for him to hear it from me or a fellow agent? "I want to hear it from you Nick."

I sighed and looked away. "Are you sure you want to know Joseph?" I used his full name to emphasize the fact that this stuff was not for the faint hearted and I wasn't even sure it was for my brother. He was silent and then slowly nodded. "I met three other JONAS operatives whose faces have been on the MIS list for over two years. One was my first mentor. I was there when all three died and each time, it could have been me. Do you still want to know?" I looked back up to him to see a pale face but determined eyes. "Well first I played a lovely game with my mentor, perhaps you are familiar with it? It is called Russian Roulette." Joe paled and his fingers formed a gun and he put it to my slightly bruised temple. "I won. Still want to hear more?" I asked again and Joe seemed less sure but he nodded anyway. "Oh the next game was the best by far." I said, faking excitement. "It was called 'Who Drowns First,' and I played it against two other JONAS agents and won. The best part was when I played ding dong ditch at deaths door…or was it when I watched the girl convulse and pa-"

"Stop it." Joe ordered, white and eyes clenched closed and I did. He wanted to know and he needed to know what his people did. "I don't believe you Nick. You're a JONAS of course you would make up those stories. The people here are the good guys; they wouldn't kill you! Viper fought back and was hurt getting held down, we don't do that damage on purpose!" He yelled and I sighed, not bothering to fight back.

"Blind." I whispered and he didn't hear me and I closed my eyes again, done with him for now.

"Nick?" He asked.

"Yeah?" I answered without opening my eyes.

"I'm sorry."

"You already covered that." I told him and he sat next to me, not touching me but I knew he was there.

"I know, but I am." He told me and I leaned against him slightly, still not opening my eyes. "Hey…remember when we were younger and I kind off left the food on the stove and it set on fire and you got burned?" He randomly told me and I opened my eyes to look at him with incredulity. What brought this on? I nodded slowly and Joe smirked at my confused look. "Remember how I got grounded for three months and you got me out of it?" Another nod and a sliver of understanding. Joe smiled and left it at that. Joe would try and get me out of this, but I didn't need him, not yet. I had my own plan and if I knew Viper, he was staging a rebellion against the Boss and had gathered a team by know and was working out a plan.

A knock on the door and Joe patted my shoulder and left without another word and I felt terribly alone.


VIPER'S POV

Ok, the plan was made and the twins had successfully gained access to the LEMUR video feed and we watched everything. We saw the hall, the torture rooms, Python's cell, everything. We all cringed when we watched the terror that went on in the underground level and we knew the security flaws of the whole building and where Python's stuff was being kept.

"Ok, Shark you sneak in on the night of the rescue because you can see and dodge infrared perfectly and nab Python's gear. Cricket, your surveillance, talk them out of any hard spots and sabotage the sensors. I will be in the river, testing everything out before we do this. Understood?" My voice rang loudly and everyone nodded.

"What about me?" Lion asked and I smiled at him. "You are with me underwater. If any LEMUR's follow, you have permission to take them out…but not to kill them of course." Lion smiled and cracked his knuckles. To him, everything was good when you bashed a few LEMUR skulls. The simple life without real brains.


JONAS' BOSS POV

I knew of Viper's rebellion and I didn't not stop it. It was a test, nothing more. If Python got out alive without their help like I knew he planned to, he was the best. And after that, if the JONAS operatives were successful in aiding him, they all got promoted to Python's team. My no good brother won't know what hit him. After all, mom didn't when dad 'died,' this was just a little beauty I call revenge.


Chibiyu: Hey, I want you all to know that my father disowned me from wanting to become an author (authoress as I prefer) and he left on a business trip and still hasn't acknowledged my existence but like I have said in association with flamers I will NEVER stop writing because one person doesn't agree with it. I love it and apparently I am good at it. I am here to stay, no matter what issues I have at home, so if I complain about being at home, don't worry, my writing, my area of venting, my love and soul will never cease.

Nick: I am back…because I got scared of leaving you alone with Joe and Kevin's fate. Until Next Update! (Yes I stole her line!)
