Kidnapped 2

Part 4

JC was the first to wake up. So he went into the kitchen and fixed himself a cup of coffee. He was sitting at the table drinking it when Brandi came in. “Hi.” She said. “Hi.” He signed “What’s wrong?” Brandi asked taking the seat next to him. “Nothing.” He said. “I know better than that.” Brandi said with a smile. JC smiled back. He knew he had never been good at lying. “So, what is it? Is it Kim?” Brandi asked. “Yes and no.” JC said. “How so?” Brandi asked.


“Well I was hoping things could be like they were before she left. But it’s not. However I also thought this was going to be fun, but it’s not.” JC said looking down at his cup. “It’ll be all right give it time.” Brandi said. They stopped talking when they heard some one moving in the living room. Soon Joey came into the kitchen and stopped at the frig and opened it. “Do you have any real food? Joey asked. Brandi didn’t answer him. Joey smiled when he found a box of cereal. He quickly fixed himself a bowl and then sat down at the table.


“Good morning, Joey.” JC said. “Good morning.” Joey said in between bites. That’s when Kim came in. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes then sat down. They all sat around talking. It was some time before Lance and Mandy got up and joined them in the kitchen. “Good morning, sleepy head.” JC said looking at his watch. Lance smiled then sat down. “When are they going to be here?” Mandy asked when she saw that Chris and Justin weren’t here yet. “I don’t know.” JC said.


Lance and Mandy fixed themselves some thing to eat then sat down. It wasn’t long till there came a knock on the door. “That must be them.” JC said getting up to see who it was. As he got close they knocked again. JC quickly opened the door. He was greeted with Chris’s smiling face. “Hi.” Chris said. “Hi.” JC said letting them pass. Justin dropped his stuff on the couch. “Where is every one?” Chris asked looking around the room. “They’re in the kitchen.” JC said walking back into the kitchen. Chris and Justin followed him.


Chris smiled when he saw Brandi. Brandi gave him a quick half smile then looked away. Chris found this odd but didn’t say anything. “Hi guys.” Mandy said. “Hello.’ Justin replied. “Help yourselves to some breakfast.” Brandi said. Justin wasted no time in finding the cereal and filling himself up a bowl. Chris on the other hand wasn’t hungry and took a seat next to Brandi. “I’ve missed you.” He said turning to face her. Brandi looked back at him. He was the same great looking guy he had been a year ago. “I’ve missed you too.” Brandi said after a long pause.


“I broke up with my girlfriend.” Chris said. “You did?” Brandi asked shocked. “Yeah, now we can be together.” Chris said taking her hand. Brandi looked helplessly at Kim and Mandy. Kim and Mandy looked down at the table but said nothing. They knew no words that could help her. “What’s wrong?” Chris asked. “Chris, I...” She started to say but before she could finish there was a knock at the door. “Who could that be?” Joey asked.


“I don’t know let me go look.” Brandi said getting up. As Brandi made her way to the door she couldn’t help but wander who it was. There were only a few people who knew where she lived. Chris got up slowly and followed her. Brandi looked at Chris then at the door. “Who is it?” She asked. “Alishé, it’s me Akiko.” A man said. “Who’s Akiko?” Chris whispered. Brandi motioned to him to be quite. “Can I come in?” Akiko asked. “No, sweetie now is really not a good time.” Brandi said. “But why, what’s going on in there?” He asked. “Nothing.” I have a cold and I don’t want you to get it that’s all.” Brandi lied. “You don’t sound sick.” Akiko said. Brandi was at a loss for words. “Are you with another man?” Akiko asked. Chris went to say something back to Akiko but Brandi quickly placed her hand over his mouth. “Don’t even think about it.” She warned him.


“That’s it I’m coming in.” Akiko said. Brandi ran over to the door. And opened it a crack then slipped out. Before he had a chance to come in. The others joined Chris in the living room. “What’s going on?” JC asked. “I wish I knew.” Chris said in a low voice. Lance turned to Mandy. “What’s going on.” He asked. Her.


Mandy looked at her feet. “That’s Akiko, Brandi is kind of seeing him.” Mandy said looking at her feet the whole time. “I’m so sorry, Chris.” Mandy said giving him a hug. “I’m all right.” Chris said. “Are you sure?” Joey asked. “Yeah, they’re just dating right?” Chris asked. “As far as I know.” Mandy said. “Man, I’d hate to be in your shoes.” Justin said patting Chris on the back. JC looked at Lance then shook his head.


“What’s that for?” Justin asked. “I’ll tell you later, Justin.” JC said. Justin let it drop. Kim walked over to the door and was trying to listen to what they were saying. “Tell me the truth.” Akiko said. “Well you see some of my friends from out of town came over. I wasn’t sure they would like you.” Brandi said. “None of them are guys, right?” Akiko asked rubbing her arm slowly. Brandi looked at him he was much different from Chris. He was tall and blond. And had the bluest eyes she had ever seen. “Nope they aren’t guys but I haven’t told them about you. You can meet them some other time. I promise that. Just not today we have not seen each other in so long we don’t want anything to ruin it right now.” Brandi explained. “Okay, I understand. Bye then.” Akiko said wrapped his arms around her. He hugged her and lifted her off the ground a little bit then set her back down. He was very strong and muscular.


Brandi said good bye then headed back into the house. Kim greeted her with a smile. “I’m really sorry, Chris, I was going to tell you.” Brandi said looking at him. “I know you were. It’s okay.” Chris said not really meaning it. “Really, you’re a sweet heart. We can still be friends though, right?” Brandi asked. “Yeah.” Chris said with a half smile. Chris knew he’d find a way to get her back. “Great now can we get going, I can’t wait to see Katy again.” Justin said. “Justin, there’s something we need to tell you first.” JC said. “Is there something wrong with Katy?” Justin asked looking at the three girls. “There nothing really wrong with her, she’s fine.” Kim said. “Then what’s the problem?” Justin asked starting to get worried.


Brandi went over to her desk and found the letter again. She handed it to Justin. “Read this, it’s a letter Katy wrote me.” Brandi said. Justin looked at her then took the letter. He started to read it to himself at first but when he came to the part that up set him he read it once to himself then again out load. “But how can this be?” Justin asked. “She misses you. I like me over time she’s decided to move on and try to replace you in her heart.” Brandi explained. “But if you can find her, she may go back to you.” Mandy said. “What do you mean, if you find her?” Justin asked. “We don’t really know where she at.” Lance said. “I will find her and that’s that.” Justin yelled slamming the letter down. “That it easy. We have an idea of where she is.” JC said. “Then let’s go.” Justin said rounding up his things.


JC quickly got on the phone and got them all tickets to Brazil. On the plane guys were spread out on the plane. Justin sat next to Chris. Joey forced Kim to set next to him and JC. Brandi, Mandy and Lance sat next to each other in front of Joey and them.
“So what are you going to do about Brandi’s Boy friend?” Justin asked in a low voice. Chris looked up from his magazine. “I don’t know what are you going to do if Katy hooked up with that island boy?” Chris asked. Justin stopped to think. “I asked you first.” He said after a pause. Chris thought fro a minute. “Well I figure since we’re doing this thing Brandi is going to have to spend time with me and them maybe she’ll see that she still has feelings for me and dump what’s his name.” Chris explained. Justin sat thinking about what his friend had just said. “Your turn.” Chris said. “I guess I’m hoping that when she sees me again the past will all come back to her and then we can work from there. Other that that I don’t really have a plan.” Justin said.


Chris went back to his reading. Justin looked over at JC. JC seemed to be deep in thought. Kim was close to him. She was trying to keep as far away from Joey as she could. Joey would eye Kim from time to time to make sure she wasn’t trying to get away or anything. Brandi peeked over the seat. Justin saw her could only guess that she was looking at Chris.


“I wander what they were talking about?” Brandi asked turning back around in her seat. “Who knows?” Lance said holding Mandy’s hand. “I can find out for you.” Mandy said. “No that’s okay. I was just wandering.” Brandi said. The plane landed in Brazil around 5 o’clock. “Where do we go now?” JC asked. “To get a hotel room.” Mandy said. “But we have to look far Katy.” Justin wined. “We will in the morning.” Joey said. “But...” Justin started to say. “It’ll be okay; it can wait till morning.” Chris said trying to comfort his friend.


They got a room in a hotel in the middle of town. They got a few rooms next to each other. “Group meeting.” JC said walking into one of the rooms. The others followed him. They all sat around him. “Okay Brandi where do we go from here?” JC asked. “Well I think we have to go to a town, I’m not sure of the name but it’s about 7 or 8 miles from here. That’s where I send the letters.” Brandi said. “Then that’s where we will start looking.” Justin said. “We’ll rent a car and leave first thing in the morning.” Joey said. Justin wanted more than anything to leave tonight, but he knew his friends were tired and wanted to rest.


“Okay we got 3 rooms and 6 beds. Who’s sleeping where?” Lance asked. “Mandy and I can share a bed.” Lance added. “Okay, then this is how we’ll do it. Chris and Justin can share a room and I can share a room with Lance and Mandy.” Brandi said. “Okay then I guess that mean I have to sleep with JC and share a room with Joey.” Kim said. Joey smiled at her. “That sounds good to me.” Justin said.


Justin and Chris made their way to their room. Justin set his things down on one of the beds. “It’ll be okay, Justin.” Chris said. Justin fell onto his bed. “I hope your right.” He said with a sigh. Back in the other room. Brandi set her bags down then turned to see Lance and Mandy sitting on one of the beds kissing. “Okay now that I can handle, but as long as I have to sleep in the same room with you two I want you to lay off the meager make out session.” Brandi said. “What? You’re no fun.” Mandy wined. “Look I don’t care what you to do just as long as I don’t have to see it.” Brandi explained. “Okay, we’ll behave.” Lance said smiling at Mandy.


Back in JC, Kim and Joey’s room, they were all getting ready to go to bed early. “Don’t even look at me.” Kim snapped. ‘What did I do to you?” Joey asked. “Don’t play dumb, I didn’t want to be here in the first place remember.” Kim yelled. “So, you’ll get over it.” Joey said pulling the covers over his head. “Now shut up so I can sleep.” Joey yelled from under the covers. Kim flipped her hair in hoped in bed herself. It was long till JC joined her. AS he slipped into the cover and lay down next to her. She could smell his collenge. It was the same stuff he wore last summer. Kim crawled closer to him. JC closed his eyes and lay as still as he could. Kim came a little closer to him. Now he could feel he breath on his neck.


JC became relaxed by it and soon fell asleep. Kim wasn’t far behind him. Back In Chris and Justin’s room. Chris had already fallen fast asleep. Justin was laying there in the darkness thinking. He wandered what he would do if Katy had got together with that other guy. The thought of it all made him sick but he couldn’t help think about it.
Back in the other room Brandi crawled into her bed. She could hear Mandy giggling. “Keep your hands to yourself please I would like to get some sleep.” Brandi said. Mandy looked over at her then a Lance. “Okay, Brandi. We can always do this later.” Mandy said running her finger down Lance’s chest. Lance rolled over and lay next to her. Mandy crawled up next to him and fell fast asleep. “Good night.” Lance whisper running his hand trough her hair. It wasn’t long till Brandi was fast asleep too.
