Dirty Little Secret
By: esmtz
Cartman ran as fast as he could while at the same time he tried to call Stan's cell phone. After trying for the fifth time in less than ten minutes he put his phone away worried out of his mind that Stan might have been taken. Within ten minutes Cartman eventually arrived in the neighborhood where they all lived and immediately ran up to Stan's house screaming for him to open the door.
"STAN! PLEASE OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!" Cartman screamed as he banged his fist against the door.
Not even caring that he was making a scene Cartman went towards the backyard hoping that at least the back door was open. Unfortunately it was locked which really worried Cartman as he took out his cell and tried Stan's house number. After waiting a few seconds for someone to answer he realized that no one was home so he hung up the phone and started texting Kenny.
"Dude get your ass out of class. I think something happened to Stan." Cartman typed up before sending it to Kenny.
Figuring that he was going to need help and he had no other choice he decided to go to Kyle's house. Just as he made his way to the front of Stan's house Kyle was already making his way towards him having already most likely been at home at least long enough to hear Cartman yell.
"Dude what the fuck are you yelling about?" Kyle asked annoyed.
"How long have you been home, Khal?" Cartman asked hoping that he had seen Stan.
Kyle raised an eyebrow wondering why Cartman seemed like he was freaking out.
"Only for like five minutes. I just finished calling my mom to let her know that I came home because I wasn't feeling well why?" Kyle asked.
"Have you seen Stan anywhere?" Cartman asked ignoring the fact that Kyle clearly lied about why he went home.
Kyle frowned wondering what was going on.
"Cartman he's supposed to be in class right now. Speaking of which what are you doing all the way out here fatass? Skipping again I'm guessing? You know you're never going to get anywhere if all you do is…"
"I think someone kidnapped him."
That made Kyle turn completely white as he saw how serious Cartman looked after saying that.
"You can't be serious fatass." Kyle replied.
Cartman sighed before showing him the text he got on his cell which made Kyle turn even whiter.
"What the fuck, Cartman? What did you go and do now?!" Kyle asked half worried and half angry.
"Nothing." Cartman told him as he put his cell phone away.
"Bull fucking shit! Whoever has Stan it obviously has something to do with you, you fucking fatass!" Kyle yelled angrily.
"I'm not lying, Khal." Cartman told him.
Figuring that Kyle wasn't going to believe him until he told him everything that was going on Cartman decided to tell Kyle everything that he told Stan about him being followed. Kyle simply rolled his eyes once Cartman was finished.
"Dude did it ever occur to you that someone eventually would find a way to get back at you for whatever it is you did to them?" Kyle asked already knowing the answer.
"Khal it was a long time ago. Whoever it might be that wants revenge against me don't you think they'd come after me instead?" Cartman asked.
"Not unless they know that taking someone away from you would hurt you more. Seriously Cartman you can't remember if you did anything recently? Because seriously even I wouldn't be that cold blooded to take someone precious to you. Not that you have any." Kyle said making Cartman glare at him.
"Ay! I care about Stan! Why do you think I'm here to ask for your help?" Cartman replied.
"Yeah right fatass. I'm sure all Stan is to you is just something to toy with." Kyle told him, "I don't believe for a second that you're as worried as you're claiming to be."
Cartman was going to argue with him about that but realized that he didn't have time for that.
"Please, Khal. I need your help. I know I don't deserve it and I know you wouldn't help me if it was someone else but it's Stan. You don't have to help me but please help me help him. After this I promise I won't bother you again and if it'll make you happy I'll stay away from Stan." Cartman said unable to stop himself from tearing up at the thought of Stan being in serious trouble because of him.
Kyle was surprised at how hurt Cartman looked and for a few seconds he seriously felt sorry for him. He didn't have to think about it to know what he was going to say to Cartman.
"Since it is Stan I'll help. After all he is still my super best friend." Kyle told him watching as Cartman sighed with relief.
"Thanks Khal." Cartman said just as he felt his cell vibrate in his pocket.
Cartman pulled out his phone and looked at the message.
"Kenny's on his way. I messaged him a few minutes ago before I was going to head to your place." Cartman told Kyle as he wrote to Kenny where to meet him.
"You think we might need more people to help us? Seriously, Cartman, I think Stan could be anywhere in South Park. I think it would help if we asked Craig and the others to help us out as well." Kyle said.
Cartman nodded as he closed his phone and looked at him.
"Yeah it's a good idea. Try to call as many of our friends as you can." Cartman replied watching as Kyle brought out his cell and started calling as many people as he could.
After watching Kyle call at least ten people Kenny eventually showed up along with Butters who for some reason was with him.
"About time you showed up Kenny. What's Butters doing with you?" Cartman asked frowning slightly.
"The moment I went running out the door apparently Butters here decided to follow me." Kenny replied just as Butters looked at Cartman wide eyed.
"Is it true?! Is Stan really…?" Butters started to ask.
"It looks that way. I've been trying to call him and nothing. I even banged on his door and yelled to see if he would answer and still nothing." Cartman replied running his hands through his hair completely stressing out.
"OH HAMBURGERS! W-We need to get some help!" Butters replied worriedly.
"Khal's already on it. He's calling every one of our friends to help us out." Cartman told him.
Kenny watched as Kyle put his phone away and looked at them.
"Well hopefully at least one of them will listen to their messages sooner rather than later. Everyone's still in class." Kyle told them.
"So then where do we begin looking fellas?" Butters asked.
Just barely noticing that something was put under a rock next to the door of Stan's house Kenny went towards it and picked it up.
"Hey guys I found something." Kenny said as he unfolded the piece of paper.
"What's it say dude?" Kyle asked.
Kenny read through it before looking up at Cartman.
"You must have seriously pissed this guy off whoever it is. It just basically says to meet this person at this address at midnight and come alone otherwise Stan isn't going to make it. He even knows Stan's name…"
Everyone turned completely white. Cartman was completely horrified. He knew that he was an evil little son of a bitch when he was a kid so this shouldn't have come as much of a surprise to him as it did but still he felt like someone had a hold of his heart and was squeezing it really tightly.
"You really think he'd kill…" Butters started to say trying hard not to throw up.
"Does it say who it's from, Kenny?" Kyle asked trying not to lose it as he realized that Stan was in more trouble than he thought.
Kenny shook his head as he read.
"It just says 'you're an idiot if you didn't see this coming.'"
Cartman started shaking clenching his fists tightly until he drew blood.
"That son of a bitch…" Cartman whispered making everyone turn their heads to look at him worriedly.
"Don't worry Eric we'll get him back." Butters said trying to be optimistic about this whole thing.
"Butters is right, Cartman. Stan will be just fine." Kenny said before glancing at Kyle to see if he was going to say anything.
Kyle saw that Cartman's hand was bleeding and winced when Cartman suddenly roared out in anger.
"HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE BALLS TO COME AT ME FACE TO FACE!" Cartman yelled as he turned and punched one of the windows of Stan's house making it shatter to pieces.
Butters hid behind Kenny cowering in fear of how angry Cartman was. Kyle didn't know what to say as he looked at Cartman worriedly.
"Well, now what?" Butters asked after a few seconds of awkward silence.
"Once people start calling Kyle we'll have to put together some kind of plan. I have a feeling that this is going to turn pretty ugly if we don't have some kind of backup." Kenny replied.
"But the note said…"
"Relax Butters. As long as Cartman goes in alone at first it'll give the rest of us time to surround the place and hopefully enter without alarming whoever's inside." Kyle said figuring that whoever it was that had Stan had to be hiding in some kind of empty building as he took the note from Kenny and looked at it, "Yeah I recognize this address. It's right where they blocked off the whole section of town because of what happened a few years back. Apparently there was this huge fire and whoever lived or had a business there ended up either dying or missing."
"Oh yeah then when people tried to rebuild there had been accidents that made people wonder if they really were accidents or not so they decided to leave the area alone." Kenny said watching as Kyle nodded.
"So then why would whoever this guy is take Stan there? It doesn't sound like its safe." Butters said frowning slightly.
"I don't know maybe the area is safe now or something. I don't know its South Park. Weird shit happens all the time or at least it did before." Kyle said before turning his attention to Cartman, "You ok, Cartman?" Kyle asked.
Cartman snorted shaking his head.
"No. I just can't believe how fucking stupid I was to even think I could get away with having a relationship considering who I am. Forget about my personality I totally forgot that there were people out there who hated me to the point of wanting to do this."
"It's not your fault dude and besides not that many people hate you like that. Sure a lot of people don't like you but not to the point of wanting to make you suffer." Kenny told him.
The moment Kenny said the word suffer Kyle immediately thought of something that made him turn white. Kenny frowned as he saw the look on Kyle's face.
"What is it Kyle?" Kenny asked making Cartman and Butters look at him.
After a few seconds Kyle finally responded.
"Guys think about it for a second. Who do we all know hates Cartman to the point of wanting to make him suffer?" Kyle said.
"What besides you?" Cartman asked making Kyle punch him in the shoulder.
"Like I would kidnap my own best friend asshole." Kyle replied.
"Says the guy who started to beat him up."
Kenny sighed as Kyle and Cartman glared at each other.
"Guys this isn't helping." Kenny told him.
"He's right. Come on Kyle just tell us who you think it is." Butters said.
Kyle sighed shaking his head.
"How the fuck do you not know who it is Cartman?" Kyle asked annoyed.
"Hey I don't have the Jew powers that you obviously have to know who's behind this so hurry up and tell us!" Cartman told him also getting agitated.
"Scott Tenorman dumbass!" Kyle told him.
Everyone was silent as Cartman really started to panic now since he obviously knew that Scott Tenorman, his half brother, had a grudge against him for killing his parents.
"Son of a…" Cartman said unable to believe that he didn't figure it out before as he realized that whoever had been spying on him he could have sworn he saw red each and every time, "So then all those people that I thought I saw were spying on me…"
"Most likely gingers." Kyle told him.
"This is not good you guys get that right?" Kenny said, "Cartman had his parents killed so do you really think this is going to end well?"
Cartman thought for sure he was going to throw up.
"We have to do something! I am not going to stand by and watch as he…" Cartman stopped not wanting to think about what Scott might be doing to Stan right now.
"Stan's going to be fine, Cartman. We got till midnight tonight right? That should give us plenty of time to come up with a way to catch Tenorman off guard." Kyle told him trying to convince him and especially himself that everything was going to be ok.
"Well we're going to need a lot of people for this considering how many gingers he's got on his side." Kenny said.
'This is bad. This is really REALLY bad.' Cartman thought to himself trying so hard to stay calm.
Unfortunately the one and only thought running across Cartman's mind was that Stan was in trouble because of him and if anything happened it would be his fault. That's when a horrible thought crossed his mind making him wince.
'Karma is a bitch ain't it.'
Stan suddenly stirred as he slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he noticed was that he was gagged and was tied to a chair; both his wrists and ankles were bound. He felt his heartbeat start to beat faster as he realized that he had been kidnapped. The last thing he remembered was he was just about to unlock the door to his house and then someone had snuck up behind him and that was it. Just then he heard voices coming from another part of the building as a door opened revealing two people who were making their way towards him. Stan was wide eyed as he saw who it was.
"Well, well, well looks like you're awake. Good. Can't have you still be asleep by the time your boyfriend gets here to save you. It's a lot more entertaining when I can hear the screams coming from both you and him." Scott Tenorman said with an evil smirk on his face.
Author's note: Looks like I was more interested in this story than I was working on my left 4 dead story since this story now has one more chapter than the other one.

Anyway things are going to get bad from here I'm not going to spoil it for you but it is Scott Tenorman. Anyway I hope you liked this chapter and as always thanks for reading this story and especially thanks to Technical Technicalities, SuhamaKitten and Guest for reviewing my last chapter.
