Katie woke up lying on a cold concrete floor. She was in a dimly lit building that smelled strongly of motor oil and old tires. She tried to move, only to find her hands and feet were bound with thick rope. She also felt a strip of duct tape covering her mouth. She managed to sit up, glancing around the room and finding Sadie, who was lying a few feet from her. Sadie was also bound and gagged, and Katie could see blood on her friend's face. Where the hell are we? she thought. What happened to us?
The sound of Sadie stirring brought her back to Earth. A sudden noise from somewhere in the darkness drew the gaze of both friends. Terrified they began backing up, hoping to find a way out before their captor got to them. But before they could get far, Dorian and several armed guards stepped out of the shadows.
"Remove their bonds." Dorian said, his cold eyes flashing. The guards did as they were told and the girl's bonds were cut.
"YOU!" Katie shrieked, staring at Dorian. "You sick bastard. What do you want from us?"
"Oh, I just want to chat." replied Dorian, with an evil smirk.
"Yeah right. Why should we believe you?" Sadie shouted.
"Because you have no choice." said Dorian, an evil glint in his eye. "You have no way of escaping, and your friends have no way of finding you."
"They'll find us." Katie shouted, unsure if they actually would. "They'll find us and they'll burn you alive."
"You have such an active and lovely imagination Katie." Dorian replied. "But I am sorry to tell you that you're wrong. The two of you are going to die here, how quickly is up to you."
Katie was terrified, but she stared at Dorian in defiance. "We will not answer any questions you ask us. We will not sell out our friends. We saw what you did to Bridgette, to Geoff, the Harold, to LeShawna. Do you really think we're gonna just let you push us around. We're a lot tougher than we look, you know?" And with that, Katie threw herself at Dorian, intent on kicking his ass.
"Katie, NO!" Sadie cried, "you're gonna get us killed!" As she said this Dorian backhanded Katie, sending her sprawling across the floor.
"Insolence is met with death." he snarled, motioning to the guards. As the guards moved forward, Dorian stepped aside, and they descended upon the terrified and helpless girls.
Meanwhile, Gwen and Duncan were organizing search parties to find the two. Everyone except, Izzy, Courtney, Harold, LeShawna, Bridgette, and Heather, would be joining the search. Gwen, Trent and Duncan would form one team. Geoff, D.J., and Owen would form another. The other teams would be Chris, Chef, Thomas, and Abigail; Justin, Lindsey and Beth; Tyler and Cody; and Eva, Noah, and Ezekiel. They fanned out across the city, searching every possible location the girls could have gone to. Eva, Noah, and Ezekiel even checked Drama, though they knew Katie and Sadie wouldn't be there, considering the club wasn't open. After four hours of searching with no luck, they reconvened at the hospital.
"No luck yet?" asked Bridgette, a worried look on her face.
"No. We've looked everywhere, but we can't find them." Geoff replied.
"I'm not giving up." said Justin. "They've got to be somewhere, they can't have just disappeared, can they?"
"It's doubtful, but you never know." said Gwen, shaking her head. "I'm calling it for the night. Anyone who wants to continue searching can, I won't stop you."
Ultimately Justin, Lindsey, Beth, Tyler, Cody, and Geoff went back out to continue the search. Cody suggested they check the warehouse district, just in case. The others agreed and after going through three warehouses with no luck, they finally found them. It was not a pretty sight. Katie and Sadie were lying in the middle of the room, covered on blood. Both of them had been violently raped, beaten, and stabbed. Sadie was unconscious and unmoving. Katie seemed to unconscious as well, but stirred as they approached.
"Katie?" Justin asked, fighting to hold back the tears. "Katie it's Justin, you're safe now."
Katie saw them and tried to smile, but couldn't. "I knew you'd find us." she said weakly. "I knew you'd come." She fell silent, the darkness of death taking her. Justin held her slight frame and swore, "This ends now, Dorian's heart is mine."
