Kidnapped 3
By Neko
Part 3
It was about 4 a.m when Brandi’s cell rang. She
answered it still half asleep. “Hello?” She asked. At first
the phone was quite and she was about to hang up when she heard a faint
sound. “Brandi?” some one said softly. It was hard to hear
but Brandi quickly recognized the voice. “Oh, my god Chris where
are you?” Brandi yelled waking the others. “I don’t
know where I am. Brandi, I scared.” He said almost in tears. “It’s
okay, we’re going to find you. Are the others there?” Brandi
asked. “Yeah, their here. Their tied up, I got a hand free. I
know I should have called the cops, but I had to hear your voice.”
Chris explained.
Brandi was crying now, she wanted to be there, to help him. She heard
some voices in the background. Then heard the sound of people moving.
“Brandi!” Chris yelled then the phone went dead. “Chris?
No!” Brandi yelled. She tried to call him back but it said his
phone was out of service.
**Mean while**
“I thought you took their phones away from them?” a tall
blonde snapped smacking her male counter part in the back of the head.
She smacked him so hard it made Chris flinch. “Come on Lexi, it
was late I just wanted to go to bed.” He explained retying Chris's
hands behind his back. “Search them now, take anything of value.”
Lexi said then left the room. A young black man walked in. “You
got us in trouble.” the black man snapped. “Hey, you said
it was cool.” The white guy added. “Reno and Antonio, would
you two just do it already?” Lexi yelled from the other room.
Antonio quickly searched Chris’s pockets. When he found his wallet
he quickly opened it. “You mean to tell me, with all that money
you have, you don’t carry more in your wallet?” Antonio
asked. “Who in their right mind would carry more than that on
them?” Chris asked watching the two of them carefully. Once they
had emptied his pockets they set him down and moved on to the next guy.
They picked Joey up and quickly search him then moved on to JC. JC was
scared but he figured it was best to just let them take what they wanted.
But when they pulled out the tiny box. He spoke up. “Please don’t
take that.” JC begged. They opened it. “Wow, that’s
nice, what does something like that cost?” Reno asked. “A
lot, please it’s for my girlfriend.” JC replied. “Not
any more.” Antonio said sticking it in his pocket. “No.”
JC yelled fighting them. They laughed and push him back down into his
chair.
Next they picked up Lance. They were flipping through his wallet when
the came across a picture of Mandy. “Wow, she’s a hottie.”
Antonio yelled. “That’s my wife.” Lance snapped. “You
got good taste.” Reno said eyeing the picture. “Do you mind,
telling us why we are here.” Lance asked in a stern voice. “Money,
we need it and you got some.” Antonio explained. “How can
we give you money if we’re here?” Joey asked. “That’s
why they call it kidnapping. Those hot little girlfriends of your will
pay big time to get you back.” Reno explained. “Then what
are you waiting for call them already. I want to go home.” Chris
said. “That’s not our call, Lexi, she’s the one in
charge of this whole thing.” Reno said.
“Should we take that?” Reno asked pointing to Lance’s
ring finger. “You have to be kidding me, That’s my wedding
ring.” Lance wined. “He has a point, it is a wedding ring.”
Reno stated. “And I bet it’s real gold.” Antonio said
reaching for it. Lance kicked him and the started to fight. “You
guys?” a young girl yelled coming into the room. “Hey what’s
up Nina, baby?” Reno asked. “Notta. Would you get off him
already.” Nina yelled pushing Antonio off Lance. “I want
that ring.” Antonio snapped.
“Get over it, let the man keep the wedding ring.”
Nina snapped. “Why it’s not like he couldn’t just
buy a new one.” Antonio said. “It’s special, now leave
it.” Nina said.
“Fine you can finish searching them, we’re going to bed.”
Reno said taking off out the door. “Where did you two leave off?”
Nina yelled after them. “Just Justin is left.” Antonio said
then disappeared. Nina took a deep breathe then turned to Justin. She
removed his jewelry and then slipped his wallet out of his back pocket.
She sat down on a crate and flipped through it looking for cash. “How
old is she?” Nina asked looking at a picture of Elena. “She’ll
be one month soon.” Justin said softly. “She’s cute.”
Nina said closing the wallet. She slowly put it back into his pocket.
“Can you please tell us what is going on here.” Justin asked
as she backed away from him. “You’ve been kidnapped, let
me just say this wasn’t my idea.” Nina explained. “Then
who’s was it?” JC asked. “Lexi’s, she’s
really smart and we needed some cash fast.” Nina added. “So
why are you here? You don’t seem to be that into getting money,
I mean you let Lance keep his ring and it is worth a pretty penny.”
Joey asked. “I’m not and I was totally against this. But
I have to admit I am a fan of yours.
I just didn’t want to see you guys get hurt.”
Nina explained. “Then untie us.” Chris begged. “I
can’t do that. Lexi and them are my friends. But don’t worry
I will see to it that you get back to your girlfriends, wives, and babies
safe a sound.” Nina said. She walked over to the door and reach
for the lights. “Now try to get some sleep, I’ll see you
soon.” Nina added then left them alone in the dark.
**Meanwhile**
“What do we do?” Brandi asked looking at her phone. “We
should call the cops, let them know we heard from them.” Mandy
said. “Are you kidding those idiots will get the guys killed.”
Nicoma said. “we have to do something.” Mandy explained.
“Fine call those morons, but I say we launch our own search.”
Katy said watching her baby sleep. Mandy picked up the phone and called
the cops, she quickly told them what had happened then hung up. “So?”
Kim asked. “They seemed less than interested, and added that they
had a lead they were following. Some about tying it in with all the
other Nsync kidnappings.” Mandy said quickly. “What they
can’t do that.” Brandi yelled. “Why not?” Mandy
asked confused. “Because all the other kidnappings were us. They’re
chasing the wrong people.” Katy yelled.
“Your right what do we do?” Mandy asked. “I don’t
know, but we have to think of something.” Kim said. “We’ll
go down to the station and tell them what we know.” Katy said.
“Tell them everything, aren’t you still in a little trouble
with that whole thing?” Nicoma asked. “Not everything, just
about last time, how the guys came to see us, they weren’t really
kidnapped.” Katy explained.
Around 8 in the morning they got dressed and headed down town. After
sitting in the waiting room for an hour they finally got to talk to
the cops. “It’s not the same I can prove it.” Brandi
said. “We will find them now you ladies just go and wait for us
to call you.” The cops said. Once outside they all started venting.
“This isn’t working.” Kim said. “Looks like
we’re on our own.” Mandy said.
Just then Katy’s Cell started ringing. “Hello?” She
asked. “I have Justin here and I want cash for his safe return.”
Some one said. Katy looked at her phone, it was Justin’s cell
number. “Okay, but how do I know you really have him, I want to
talk to him.” Katy said. “Alright.” Nina said she
held the phone out. “You have 2 minutes.” Lexi said as Nina
put the phone up to his ear.
“Katy it me.” Justin said. “Are you okay?” Katy
asked. “Yeah, I’m fine. How Elena is she okay?” Justin
asked. “She a little shaken up but she fine other than that.”
Katy explained. “I don’t have long, but I’m sorry
and I...” Justin started to say but was cut off. “Okay now
about the money.” Nina said. “You’ll get COD.”
Katy said. “COD?” Nina asked. “Cash on Delivery. I
don’t want any of this put the money here and we’ll let
him go. You get your money when I get my man.” Katy said. She
knew she was being the smart alike she always was. But she some how
knew she wasn’t talking to a pro. “What about the cops?”
Nina asked. “The cop forget them, they could get some one killed.”
Katy explained. “I’ll have to think about this.” Nina
said. “You do that, and get back to me. By the way tell J I love
him too.” Katy said. “Sure.” Nina said and then hung
up.
“She says she loves you too.” Nina told Justin. Justin smiled.
“Your woman is something else, she knows her stuff. Lets hope
that will work to your advantage.” Lexi said. “Katy is great,
I trust her with all my heart.” Justin said.
“Who was that?” Kim asked. “How should I know, but
Justin was with her.” Katy said. “Why did you say that stuff
are you trying to get Justin killed?” Nicoma asked. “No,
but that girl is new at this and I am not paying a thing unless I can
be 100% sure Justin will make it out alive.” Katy said. “So,
what did she say?” Brandi asked. “She has to think about
it.” Katy said. “What are we going to do?” Kim asked.
“Well we have 2 options. One was wait for her to call back and
just do whatever they tell us or two we going looking for them ourselves.”
Katy said.
“I say we do both, that way if anything goes wrong we have a back
up plan.” Brandi explained. “But where do we start looking?”
Nicoma asked. “You weren’t here when we kidnapped them the
first time, it took so much planning to pull it off. This isn’t
something they just decided to do. We start by looking for anything
that has happened in the last few weeks that seemed odd.” Mandy
said getting very serious.
“That’s cool but can we not launch our search in the middle
of a sidewalk surrounded by people.” Kim replied as some one gave
her a weird look. They all laughed and then darted off for the car.
Once inside they began to think it over. “Where to we go from
here?” Kim asked. “Do any of you recall anything wired or
out of place in the last week or so?” Brandi asked. “It
was a woman I talked to on the phone. So something involving a female.”
Katy added.
Katy phone rang. She glanced at the number. “It’s Justin’s
cell again.” Katy said. Everyone got really quite. “Hello?”
Katy asked. “Hi, I’ve thought about it and I say no. I want
you to drop the cash off and then we’ll let your man and his friends
go.” She said quickly. “How do I know he’ll be okay?”
Katy asked. “If you don’t pay, then I’ll kill him
and he won’t be okay. What do you have to lose?” She asked.
Katy was shocked by what she was saying, this wasn’t the same
girl she had talked to earlier. “Fine where do I drop it off at?”
Katy asked. “Call me back when you have the money then I’ll
tell you what to do with it.” Lexi said. “How much money?”
Katy asked. “I think their worth about 5 million.” Lexi
explained. “It’ll take some time to get that much.”
Katy added. “Then get to it, because time is something you don’t
have much of.” Lexi said then hung up.
Lexi tossed the phone to Nina. “Come get me when she calls back.”
Lexi said walking into the other room. Nina watched her in awe. Once
she was gone Chris turned to Nina. “Is she for real, is she really
going to kill us?” Chris asked. “No she wouldn’t do
that.” Nina said sounding less than sure. They could hear the
guys rough housing in the other room and Lexi yelling at them. Nina
sat away from the guys, across the room on a crate. They watched her
for a minute she seemed deep in thought.
Finally she smiled and reached in her pocket. “I found this with
all the stuff the guys took from you.” Nina said eyeing the tiny
diamond ring. “Whose is it?” She added. “It’s
mine.” JC said. “She must be a very special girl.”
Nina said sounding a little sad. “She is, I love her and now I
want more than anything just to see her again.” JC said softly.
“Were you going to ask her to marry you?” Nina asked looking
up at him. “I thought I was, but I was having a hard time working
up the nerve to. I thought if I got the ring it would just happen, but
I had it for weeks and I just couldn‘t.” JC explained almost
ashamed. “You said you loved her, why is it so hard?” Nina
asked. “I wish I knew, it just is.” JC explained.
Nina slipped the ring on her finger and looked at it a minute. “It’s
pretty.” She said then took it off. She walked over to JC. “Promise
me something JC.” Nina said. “Sure anything.” JC said.
“If I give this back to you, promise me you’ll ask her.”
Nina said. “Of course I will, now I am more afraid of being without
her.” JC explained. “You shouldn’t give it to him
now, he might lose it or they may take it again.” Justin said.
“Good point, but I’m afraid I’ll lose it.” Nina
said. She thought for a minute. “Take off your shoe.” She
said finally. “Why.” JC asked. “I’m going to
put it in your shoe, they won’t find it there and I hope you won’t
lose your shoe.” Nina said with a laugh. JC kicked off one of
his shoes and Nina dropped the ring in then put it back on for him and
tied it extra tight just to make sure it wouldn’t come off.
**Mean While**
“Great where are we going to get 5 million dollars?” Katy
asked. “Here a stupid suggestion, the bank?” Mandy said
smartly. “The only account we can get into is Lance, because your
his wife. We can’t get into the others because we’re only
girlfriends.” Nicoma explained. “Does Lance have that much
in there?” Brandi asked. “There’s one way to find
out.” Mandy said. “Well they even let you withdrawal that
much?” Kim asked. “Who knows, lets just go to the bank.”
Brandi said.
Once they got to the bank the found out Lance had almost enough in the
bank, but the bank wouldn’t let Mandy take it all out at once,
She would have to take half then wait 24 hours before he could get the
rest. “Things couldn’t get any worse.” Kim huffed.
“Don’t say that, don’t ever say that, things can always
get worse.” Nicoma explained. “Sorry.” Kim said.
After getting what they could they went back to the hotel to rest and
think things out. They debated on whether or not to call the kidnappers.
But before they could there was a knock at the door. Brandi answered
it. It was office Monroe and some cops. “Can I help you?”
Brandi asked. “Yes, we’re looking for Mr. Timberlake’s
girlfriend.” He said. Katy over heard them and came out of the
bed room. “How can I help you?” Katy asked. “Actually
your under arrest.” He said. Two cops came over to her and proceeded
to read her, her rights. They turned her around and handcuffed her.
“What’s she under arrest for?” Kim asked. “Steeling,
kidnapping you name it.
We have a feeling she’s behind this disappearance
too. But don’t you guys worry, we have it under control.”
He said. “You have got to be kidding me.” Katy yelled and
dropped her head in frustration acts a dentally hitting it on a near
by table. She groaned in pain as the started to drag her away.
“Katy what do we do?” Nicoma asked. “Don’t worry
about me, just keep my phone and worry about getting the guys back.
bail me out later.” Katy yelled as the drug her away. “This
is just great.” Brandi snapped. “What are we going to do
now?” Kim asked. “Katy was right we have to worry about
the guys first, Justin will bail her out once he gets back.” Brandi
said. “So, I guess we can’t expect too much help from the
cops, being as they just arrested Katy and accused her of kidnapping
them this time too.” Mandy said. “We should call them tell
them what’s going on.” Nicoma said picking up Katy’s
cell phone. She handed it to Kim. Kim was so nervous she was shaking.
But she managed to dial the number.
Nina looked down at Justin’s phone as it began to ring. She picked
it up. “Hello?” She asked. “Hi, I realize your in
the middle of a kidnapping but I kind of need to talk to Justin for
a minute, we have a little problem.” Kim said quickly and in like
on breathe. “Okay.” Nina said then went over to Justin.
“Some one wants to talk to you, they said they have a problem,
but make it quick.” Nina said then put the phone up to his ear.
“Hello?” Justin asked. “Justin it’s Kim.”
Kim said. “Kim what are you doing?” Justin asked. JC looked
up happy to hear Kim’s name. He wanted to talk to her, but something
had to be really wrong if she needed to talk to Justin.
“We have a problem.” Kim said. “What kind of problem?”
Justin asked. “They just came and arrested Katy for kidnapping,
this time and the last time, and all that other stuff we did.”
Kim said. “What you joking right?” Justin said sounding
more than a little upset. Nina heard some movement upstairs and motioned
to Justin to wrap it up. “Kim I have to go, look just pay these
people off and I’ll take care of it when I get back.” Justin
said. “Oh, you wouldn’t happen to have a couple thousand
dollar laying around your house would you?” Kim asked hopefully.
Justin gave her a few places to look and the other tossed out suggestions
for their own houses. Then Nina hung up the phone.
“Bad news?” She asked. Justin dropped his head back and
took a deep breathe. “You could say that.” Justin huffed.
“What happened?” JC asked. “They just arrested Katy
for kidnapping and stealing.” Justin said. “Why would they
do that?” Nina asked. “It’s a long story, you see
two years ago our girlfriend now, minus Joey’s, came up with a
plan and kidnapped us. Katy was kind of the front runner of the group,
she was the one who did most of the bad stuff.” Chris explained.
“Yeah, well I guess they are trying to tie her into this kidnapping
too, according to Kim.” Justin added.
“That sucks.” Nina said softly. “ I thought I heard
the phone ring.” Lexi said appearing out of no where. “It
did, they just wanted to let us know that they were working on it, but
the had ran into a few problems.” Nina explained quickly. “They
need to quit wasting time, I am ready to be done with this.” Lexi
snapped then walked away. “It’s getting late you guys should
try to get some sleep.” Nina said then left to go find Lexi.
