Chapter 37
'No windows, one door, no light to see what the heck I'm doing...' Mandi
thought as calmly as she could. 'Fifty freaking people that saw me be
kidnapped and didn't care, and one missing JC.'
"Don't worry about escaping, Mandi. You won't be going anywhere," a voice
said.
She knew it wasn't Josh.
She turned around abruptly, finding herself face-to-face with a guy about
5'6" with black hair down to his chin and large blue eyes.
"Who do you think you are?" she demanded. "And what do you think you're
doing?"
She tried to pull away as he pulled her into a room that she hadn't noticed
was there.
"I think my name is Tyson. And I think I'm tying you up." he replied,
sitting her down in a chair.
"I don't give a rat's butt if your name is Tyson, but I'll be darn if you are
gonna tie me up!" she continued to yell at him as he tried to tie her to the
chair.
"Be still!" he said, cursing her under his breath.
"Wanna say that a little bit louder?" Josh asked, walking into the room.
"No.." Tyson said.
"I told you to tie her to a chair, not curse her like she was some kind of
animal," Josh said.
"Shut up, Josh! It's not like you are some kind of perfect gentleman!"
Mandi yelled, her anger getting the best of her.
It was then she noticed she was sitting in a room filled with gun powder and
explosives.
"Oh my dear Lord!!!" she whispered.

"Excuse me?" JC said to a lady sitting down beside a tree in the park.
He'd asked about ten people and no one had seen Mandi or Josh.
"Yes?" she asked, looking up at him.
"I was wondering if you'd seen a girl and a guy... The girl is twenty, about
5'4" with brown hair and green eyes. The guy is about.. well.. I have no
idea, but he resembles me a little bit." JC said hopefully.
"Yes, actually, I did." the lady nodded.
"Ohmigosh! You did?!?" JC asked. "Do you know where they were going? What
were they doing?"
"Well, he had her by the hands and they were walking toward that alley over
there," she paused to point. "She was crying and screaming... I thought they
were just joking."
"You thought they were JOKING?" JC yelled.
"Well, yes.. I mean.." she stuttered.
"That man just kidnapped the love of my life, only God knows what his crazy
mind has in store for her, and you thought they were JOKING?" JC exclaimed,
trying as hard as he could to control his anger.
"I'm.. I'm so sorry!" the woman cried. "Let me help you look for her!"
JC didn't have time to say no before she was up and running and he was
running after her.

Justin looked over at Lance.
"Where is JC going?" he asked.
Lance's head jerked up. "He found someone! Hurry!"
It took Justin all of a millisecond to get up and run.
Lance was close behind.

"What do you mean they wouldn't help?" Chris yelled.
"They wouldn't help!" Tina said, holding a crying Skyler back from slapping
Chris cross-eyed.
Joey was hugging Sheena while she cried, but he looked like he was gonna cry
himself.
"They wouldn't help? They wouldn't help?" he kept repeating over and over.
The phone rang.
Before anyone could do anything, Skyler had the phone in her hand.
"HELLO?!?" she said.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
JC ran into one of the rooms in the abandoned warehouse.
The others had split up to find her.
He could make out her form, tied to a chair in the back right corner.
Her head shot up when she notice him. He could clearly see the fright in her
eyes, despite the darkness.
"Josh?" she asked.
JC was too happy to let himself be offended. "Shh... It's JC.." he said,
walking to her.
"JC?" she repeated. "What took you so long?"
"I got caught in traffic." he said sarcastically. "Did he hurt you? I'll
kill him."
"Ohmigosh!" Mandi said suddenly.
JC whirled around, expecting to see someone there. No one.
"What?" he asked.
"This room is full of dynamite and gun powder.." she said, her voice barely
above a whisper.
"Dynamite?" JC asked.
"It's in all of these boxes." she confirmed.
JC's hands found her face.
"Before either I forget or chicken out.." he said, pulling her close to him.
