~Becky's P.O.V.~

"Let me go!" I screamed at no one in particular. I'd been trapped down here in this metal cage for who knows how long. The last thing I remember before I blacked out was a man in black, wearing a mask. I never heard what else he said but I doubt it was good. Suddenly, I hear a door slam and see a man walk in.

"So you're awake! We can finally make that call." the man says.

"What call?" I ask.

"Oh, you know. The call to your worried boyfriend." the man answers.

"Don't hurt him." I scream at the man. He gives an evil laugh then becomes serious again.

"We won't physically hurt him, princess. But, we will hurt you." the man sneers. "Now come on." he says, roughly grabbing my arm and pulling me behind him. He pulls me into an office and throws me into a chair. I see some other men there and want to curl up into a little ball.

"Did you get his number?" one asks.

"Of course I have his number." the first says.

"Oh. Okay then." the second one says. I watch as the first man dials Austin's phone number. He puts it on speaker and Austin picks up after two rings.

"Where is she?" he demands.

"Whoa, slow down there city boy! We ain't just gonna hand a pretty little lady over like that." the man sneers.

"Jacob, if you hurt her I swear, I will kill you." Austin warns.

"How? You don't even know if she's still alive." 'Jacob' says.

"If she isn't, why would you call me, dumbass?" Austin asks.

"Good point. But, if you want your girl back, here's what you have to do." Jacob says. "I want one million dollars...."

"What?! Why would you need a million dollars?" Austin asks.

"Because I have a lot of money I owe to people." Jacob snaps. "But, if that's too much, you can say goodbye to your princess."

"No! When do you want the money?" Austin caves.

"Hmm, one week. Meet me at the abandoned warehouse." Jacob says.

"No. Please, sooner than that. I can get you the money by tomorrow." Austin begs.

"Too bad. I'm not just gonna kidnap a pretty girl my enemy loves and give her back right away. See you at midnight in one week." Jacob says. Then he hangs up.

~Austin's P.O.V.~

One week. I have to wait one week and I won't even know if she's safe.

"Ugh!" I scream and throw myself into the rolling chair nearby. I see Rocco walk in and he looks at me.

"Was that...."

"Yes. That was Jacob. He took Becky and won't give her back for one week. And to top it all off, I have to give him a million dollars." I answer.

"But, you can't make a million dollars in one week." Rocco tells me.

"I know. But please, you have to help me." I beg my manager. He sighs.

"Alright. I'll schedule a show every night for the rest of the week and see what we'll be able to do." he caves.

"Thank you so much, Rocco!" I say.

"Yeah. Don't thank me yet. We may not get a million dollars." Rocco warns.

"But we can at least try. And, I make $500,000 dollars every show." I tell him.

"Like I said, don't thank me yet." Rocco says as he walks out of the room. I lean back in my chair and try not to imagine what could be happening right now. I'd better get that money before Jacob can hurt Becky.
