Kidnapped

Part 9

In the morning Katy and Justin woke up and came down stairs. As they walked into the kitchen Kim was in there cooking breakfast, JC had his arms wrapped around her. He still wasn’t wearing a shirt. “Good morning.” Kim said. “Good morning, I’m surprised to see you up already.” Katy said. “Ways that?” Kim asked. “No reason.” Katy said looking at Justin who just smiled back at her. JC nuzzled his face into Kim soft brown hair.


“You know what Justin?” Katy asked. “What?” Justin said. “I never realized how buff JC is till right now.” Katy said. JC lifted his head and turned and looked at her, never letting his hands leave Kim. Katy just smiled back at him. He got a half smile then laughed; knowing full well Katy was just picking on him. “Be nice Katy.” Kim said. “I was giving him a complement.” Katy said sounding shocked but again she was just picking on them both.


Kim turned to face Katy and Justin. JC still had his hands on her and his gaze was fixed on her eyes. “You know I liked it better when you two couldn’t stand each other.” Justin said. That’s when Mandy and Lance came down. “What’s up?” Mandy asked then looked at JC. “On second thought I don’t want to know.” Mandy said. JC’s hands let go of Kim for the first time. “You guys are mean.” He said shaking his head and looking away.


“Awe! You love us, you know you do.” Katy said. “Are you sure about that?” JC asked moving over to the sink to wash some dishes. “Yes, everybody loves me!” Katy said in her little girl voice. Justin laughed. “What’s so funny?” She asked. “Nothing, sweetie.” Justin said putting his arm around her.


Joey came up from the basement. “I smell food!” He said. “It’s almost ready Joey.” Kim said. Joey sat down next to Katy. “You love me right Joey?” Katy asked. Joey looked at her then at Justin who was trying not to laugh. “As a friend.” Joey said. “Give it up Katy.” Justin said. “But...” Katy started to say but Justin put his finger on her lips.


Brandi and Chris came down while the others were eating. “We have to call about getting Chris a car for his shot then all’s we need is a group shot.” Brandi said picking up the phone. “I want a cool car.” Chris said but Brandi didn’t pay any attention to him. When Brandi got off the phone she sat down ad started eating. “Where did you call?” Kim asked. “Some place in town, they said we could pick it up anytime today.” Brandi said.


“Okay if your going into town I want to go.” Katy said. “Okay me and you can run get it when we’re done eating, and the rest of you can try to think of a group shot.” Brandi said. “Busta needs food.” Chris said. “Okay, we’ll get some.” Katy said. They all agreed. After they were all done Katy and Brandi left. Kim and JC cleaned up the stuff from breakfast. The other’s sat at the table and talked. Joey thought they should to a forest shot for the group thing. Lance thought a shot in the sound stage would be best. Mandy thought that they should show the guys goofing off. “I say we do them all.” Kim said listening to them as they were talking.


“I guess we could do that.” Mandy said. “We’re all here why can’t we just do those things now?” Lance asked. “I don’t know if Brandi and Katy will like those.” Mandy said. “Katy will I know.” Justin said. “Yeah and Brandi won’t care.” Chris said. “Okay then, let’s do the sound stage first.” Mandy said getting up. She stuck her head in the kitchen. “Kim we need your lover for a second.” Mandy said. Kim smiled, “Okay but I want him back I one piece.” Kim said. Mandy smile then headed for the basement. JC gave Kim a little kiss before following.


The boy all climbed into the sound stage and Mandy was close behind with the camera. Kim came down to help to. She hit the play button and the guys started to act like they were singing. Mandy would tape them all then zoom in on one guy. They shot that scene for 10 minutes before they stopped. “Okay guys I think that’s good.” Mandy said. “What’s next?” Joey asked. “The other inside shot. So you guys just come out here and play games and I’ll tape it.” Mandy said walking into the other room. The guys came out and gathered around.


“Hey Lance I bet I can beat you in fighting on play station.” Chris said grabbing the controller. “You’re on!” Lance yelled reaching for the other one. “Okay, go for it.” Mandy said. Kim hit Play again just so they would have a feel for what was going one. They played and joked around for some time, even getting Busta into the shots. But then they herd a car door shut and stopped to see who it was. It was Katy and Brandi coming back from getting the car. “Sorry it took so long.” Katy said. “It’s okay we were working on the group shots.” Mandy said handing the camera to Katy. “Really what shots did you do?” Katy asked.


“You’ll have to look at them.” Mandy said handing her the camera. “It’s okay I trust you.” Katy said. “Okay.” Mandy said taking the camera back. “Are you ready Chris?” Brandi asked. “Yeah.” Chris said jumping behind the wheel of the shiny new convertible. “Mandy and Brandi you two can go do the shot.” Katy said. “Don’t you want to come?” Brandi asked jumping in the back seat. “No, I’m going to take a peek at the shots we have already. And start putting them where they should be.” Katy said. “Okay, then here take this tape.” Mandy said handing her the tape out of the camera and putting another one back in.


Mandy ran and got in the car beside Chris. “Remember to tape on a road that no one uses or we’ll be busted.” Kim said. “Okay.” Mandy said as Chris pulled out of the driveway. Lance waved at her as they pulled away. “Can I help you?” Justin asked. “Yes you may, Lance you can too.” Katy said looking over at the blond as he stared off into space. Lance blinked then followed them into the house.


Katy sat down at the computer and put the tape Mandy had given her into one of the two VCR’s that was hooked up to the computer. Justin sat down on one side of her and Lance sat on the other. Katy hit play and Justin’s shot came up. She felt Justin wrap his arm around her.


Pretty soon JC and Kim came in. “So what are we going to do?” JC asked with a smile. Kim looked at him and smiled, “Whatever you want.” She said. “Let’s go to bed.” JC said. “JC, it’s only 3.” Kim said giving him a friendly shove. “So?” JC said wrapping his arms around her a tickled her. Joey walked in and sat down on the couch to watch Katy and a little TV.


Down the road a little bit from the house. Chris turned onto an old road. “This looks great.” Mandy said putting the tape into the tape deck and hit play. “Go slow Chris.” Brandi said. So he did. Mandy taped him as he sang with the song. They shot for sometime when a white car passed them going the other way. “Oh my god, I think that was a cop car.” Brandi said looking back at the others. “I think you’re right.” Mandy said turning the Camera off. “Go Chris before it turns around.” Brandi said. Chris stepped on it and they took off.


“Are you sure it saw us?” Chris asked. “No but let’s not stop and find out.” Mandy said looking over her shoulder to see if it was coming. They raced back to the house. Check once more to see if it had followed them before turning into the driveway.
They ran in the door, they were all out of breath. “What happened?” Joey asked feeding Busta a chip. “We saw a cop car.” Mandy said. “Did it see you?” Katy said not looking away from the screen. “I don’t know but we didn’t want to see if it had.” Brandi said. Sitting down next to Joey. Mandy walked over and handed her the tape. “I think we got enough.” Mandy said. “Okay.” Katy said taking it from her. “Where are Romeo and Juliet?” Brandi asked. “They went for a walk in the woods.” Justin said. “Oh.” Brandi said.


Mandy put her arms around Lance and looked over him at the screen. Katy was hard at work on the video. She already had the first minute of the video done. “Hey Katy what if that cop did see us?” Brandi asked. “If he did then they know we’re around so they’ll start looking for us where ever they saw you at the work their way out.” Katy said still hard at work. “Why do you ask?” Mandy asked looking back at her. “Just wandering. I just don’t see how he could have missed Chris.” Brandi said.


Mandy, Lance and Justin all got a worried look on their faces. “Relax. The video’s almost done we’ll be long gone before they get here.” Katy said. “But I don’t know what’s worse.” Justin said. “Justin, if I leave on my own I can come back later, but if I get arrested you won’t see me for a real long time.” Katy explained. “I understand. But you will come back right” Justin said. “Yeah, when I get it all cleared up.” Katy said. “If you don’t I’ll come looking for you.” Justin said. “Me too.” Lance added butting in. “Awe, your so sweet Lance.” Mandy said giving him a hug.


Brandi looked over at Chris who was looking at his hands sitting on the armrest of the couch. “What about you?’ She asked. He looked up at her. “I have a girlfriend, but I like you a lot. I think I’m just going to need time to think about it.” Chris said. “I understand.” Brandi said laying her head on his leg.


“Who’s going to cook dinner? I don’t think Kim will be back any time soon.” Katy asked. “Me and Mandy will.” Lance said jumping up. “But hunny, I can’t cook.” Mandy said as he dragged her toward the kitchen. “It’s easy I’ll show you.” He said. The two of them disappeared around the corner. “I wonder what Kim and JC are up to?” Joey said. “I don’t really want to know.” Brandi said.

**Mean While**
“JC, where are you.” Kim said looking around her. That’s when JC came out of nowhere and tackled her to the ground. He lay on top of her, “You called?” “Yeah I did now get off me.” Kim said. “No.” JC said kissing her neck. Kim laughed. “I thought you said we weren’t going to rush it.” Kim said. JC look at her. “But we have a lot of catching up to do. You may have to leave soon.” JC said.


“I know but we can keep in touch or something then maybe I can come back and we can start where ever we leave off.” Kim said throwing her arms around him. “Promise?” JC asked. “Yeah.” Kim said then kissed him. JC kissed her back and they lay there in each other’s arms for what seemed to them forever. “I love you.” JC said in a low voice, laying his head on her chest.

**Back Inside**
“You’re a dork, Justin Timberlake!” Brandi yelled running into the living room holding his JRT necklace. “Give that back.” Justin yelled chasing her around the couch. “Not on your life, I’m keeping it.” Brandi yelled. “Do you have any idea how much that thing cost?’ Justin asked reaching for her but missed. “Yeah, duh. Why else would I want it?” Brandi said. Then ran around a few more times before Justin tackled her on the couch. Brandi screamed. “Katy get your man off me.” Brandi yelled. Katy turned a looked at the two of them.


“Tell her to give it back.” Justin said. “No, get off.” Brandi yelled. “Gee, Brandi that sure looks like it your problem.” Katy said. “But he’s your guy.” Brandi said. Chris walked in. “Not anymore. I’m her guy now.” Chris said running over and sitting on Katy’s lap. Katy couldn’t help but laugh and so did Justin. “Chris, how much do you weigh?” Katy asked. “I don’t know why?” Chris asked. “I can’t feel my legs, but it’s okay.” Katy said. Chris wrapped his arms around her and acted like a big baby.


“That’s not fair I want the cute guy back now.” Brandi said trying to get away from Justin. “Give me my necklace.” Justin said tickling her. “No!” Brandi laughed. Brandi rolled a little and Justin fell to the floor. Brandi sat up and Chris jumped off Katy’s lap and ran over and tackled her. They started kissing a hugging. Justin looked over at them then at Katy who was now standing trying to get the feeling back into her legs.
“But…” Justin said pouting. Katy walked over to Chris and Brandi. “Brandi, Please.” Katy said then Brandi dropped the necklace into her hand never taking her eyes off Chris. Justin quickly jumped up and took the necklace from her and placed it around his neck the skipped back into the kitchen. “We’re almost ready to eat.” Mandy said. “Okay, I’ll yell for JC and Kim.” Katy said walking to the front door. She opened it and yelled their names. She waited a few minutes then she saw them walking out of the trees hand in hand.


“What?” Kim said reaching the door. “Dinner.” Katy said. “Who cooked?” Kim asked. “Lance and Mandy.” Justin said. “Please tell me Lance did most of it.” Kim said. “I think he did.” Katy said. They all got into the dinning room and sat down. “Hurry up, I’m so hungry I could eat a cow.” Joey said. “And how would that be different from any other day?” JC asked. Joey face went blank, “I don’t know.” He said after much thought.


Soon Lance came out of the kitchen carrying two plates of food. He set them down. “This smells great, where did you learn how to cook?” Kim asked. Looking at the fried chicken and gravy. “Betty Crocker.” Lance said with a smile. Brandi looked over at him. “If I hadn’t seen you kiss Mandy I’d think you were gay.” She said. “That was mean.” Lance said then went back into the kitchen then he and Mandy came back carrying the rest of the food.


They took their seat and everyone started to eat. Busta was on the floor eating the dog food Katy had gotten him. “So how’s the video going?” Kim asked. “It’s almost done.” Katy said. “How does it look?” Mandy asked. “It looks great.” Justin said. “After we eat I think we girls need to have a talk.” Katy said. “Okay.” They said. Everyone took their time eating and enjoyed Lance’s cooking greatly. “You’re a really good cook, Lance.” Joey said. “Thanks.” Lance said blushing.


“I guess I’ll clean up.” Kim said once everyone was done. “No, We can do it, you guys said that you needed to talk.” Justin said stopping her. “Yeah, we’ll go into the basement.” Mandy said. “This shouldn’t take long.” Katy said heading for the basement. The guys all got up and started to clean up as the girls left. They went into the basement and shut the door.


Katy sat down in one of the chairs. The other gathered around her. “We have to leave.” Katy said. “What about the video?” Mandy asked. “At dinner I lied, it’s done. I didn’t want to worry the guys.” Katy said. “Why do we have to go now?” Kim asked. “If that cop saw you two today then they’ll be here by morning.” Katy said pointing to Mandy and Brandi. “What cop?” Kim asked. “We ran into a cop while taping Chris.” Brandy said. “We have to leave tonight while the guys are asleep. Other wise I don’t think we’ll make it.” Brandi said. “I agree, and we can’t tell them. We can leave them a note or something after we’re gone but we can’t tell them.” Katy said.


“Yeah, they’d never let us go.” Mandy said. Katy could see that this was hard for Mandy and Kim. “I’m going to fix everything, I just need time; you can come back later.” Katy said. “How?” Kim asked. “I have a plan. We’ll keep in touch and I’ll tell you when it’s safe.” Katy said. “Where do we go?” Brandi asked. “Where ever you want, we have plenty of money left for that. We just have to keep a line open to each other.


“This is hard.” Kim said about to cry. “I know Kim but you knew this was coming from the get go.” Brandi said. “Yeah, Now be happy and don’t ruin it for the guys, this is your last few hour together for a while.” Katy said. Kim saw that that was best and wiped her tears away. They waited for Kim and Mandy to get it together be fore they went back upstairs.


The guys had clean up everything and were sitting in the living room waiting for the girls. Justin smiled as Katy walked in. “Did everything go okay?” He asked. “Yeah everything is fine,” Katy lied. “Let’s watch a movie.” Brandi said. “Okay.” Joey said. Kim put a movie in then went and sat in the chair with JC. He wrapped his arms around her. Katy and Justin were lying on the floor. Every so often Katy could feel Justin kiss her neck.


Brandi sat down side Joey and Chris. She put her arm around both of them and hugged them. Busta was sleeping Chris’s lap. Mandy and Lance got in the other chair and had make out part big time. After the movie was over Justin stretched. “It’s time for bed.” He said with yawn. Kim looked away from JC for a second. “I think you guys should sleep down stairs tonight.” Kim said. “But why?” Lance asked. “Yeah, you should we have a big day tomorrow, we all need a good nights sleep.” Katy said. “Yeah okay, I see your point.” Chris said knowing full well that they wouldn’t sleep if they were in the same bed as the girls.


“But there are only 3 beds down there.” Joey said. “Some one can sleep on the couch and then someone can use a chair or make a bed on the floor.” Mandy said. The guys agreed and they were sent into the basement. The girls all went down and gave them each a kiss and tucked them all in. “Good night.” Katy said turning to go back to the stairs. “Good night, love.” Justin said. Katy smiled then left.


Once upstairs, “Now what?” Kim asked. Let’s not make it look too clear to them, let’s go to sleep for a few or 2 and then I’ll wake you all up and we’ll go.” Brandi said. And so they all headed to their rooms.
