The rusty bars of the cell creak open and I open my eyes stirring awake. I see Harry and Josh do the same.

There's two of the guards, on big and tall, and the other shorter, standing in the doorway looking down at all of us.

"Get up. We go now." Says the smaller guard.

Me Harry and Josh all look at each other in confusion.

"GET UP." He says louder with the ferocity of a bear.

We all hesitantly stand up and follow the guards out of our cell after they bind our hands.

I'm walking behind Josh, and Harry behind me.

I haven't seen anything but my cell for the past few months. We are in a corridor, dark and musky, the only source of light is the dangling lightbulbs every 15 meters or so.

After 10 minutes of walking, they shove a heavy door open and I can see the light for the first time in months. I momentarily forget where I am and close my eyes and just take in a deep breath of fresh air with the wind whipping around my face. I feel at peace with the sounds of the waves crashing against the rocky shore.

I feel a shove and open my eyes, the moment of peace now gone.

I take in my surroundings. I am on a rocky shore. I can see a tiny speck in the distance, it must be Italy.

I don't know when it happened, but all of a sudden, there is a guard behind each of us.

I look over at the guards who brought us here to see that they're talking to a man in a suit. He is much better looking than the other guards. His black hair greying on the sides and a scar from his right temple to his chin. His face holds that look of authority. I know this is 'the boss' that everyone keeps talking about.

He is looking over at me, Josh and Harry, sizing us up while speaking swiftly in that language. He pauses for a moment, thinking, and then points to Josh saying a clear, "Him."

"You." Says the bigger guard with the bald head and a small hoop in his left ear, pointing a fat finger at Josh. "Come."

I start to feel myself panic. I look over at Josh but he isn't looking back at me. He stares straight ahead with his head held high. He slowly walks forward.

He's standing in front of the boss, and there is another guard coming over with a camera, setting it up.

"So. You are the leader?" Asks the boss with a thick accent.

Josh doesn't answer. Keeping his face still.

The boss hits him hard in the face and the guards shove him onto his knees. And I yelp out in surprise, trying to go to Josh but the guard behind me has a hold on me stronger that iron.

Josh looks up at the boss and I can see a clear red mark across his cheek.

The boss moves away and the camera is set up in his place.

"This ees a camera. Ve vill record you and send eet to your people. Eef you do not say vhat I tell you to say, I vill kill you. Understand?"

Josh again didn't reply. Instead he spat at the ground before the boss' feet.

The boss just laughs and swiftly says something in his language. The guard behind josh pulls out a switchblade and cuts a gash into Josh's cheek. Josh hisses loudly as the scarlet liquid seeps from the wound.

I flinch and try to look away but I can't. The whole seven years I have know Josh, he's always protected me. Now I can't even protect him the one time he needs it.

"Now. You vill say, 'I have been captured by the Modo and eef

20 million € ees not delivered to Vincente and Fleur, Rome at 3 am on Thursday then they vill kill me and the others."

Josh stared at the boss for a moment before saying, "I won't do it." I clench my stomach ready for him to get hit or cut again but the boss just smiles.

"Very vell then, they vill see what happens when you vill not listen to Modo." Said the boss.

He turned to the big bald security guard and spoke to him in their language. They turn the recorder on and the boss starts talking.

"I have captured your people. 20million€ vill be delivered to Vincente and Fleur, Rome at 3 am on Thursday."

He turned to the bald guard and spat something at him. The guard quickly handed over his gun and I felt my body freeze.

"Josh!" I yell. I feel the tears pricking my eyes and I struggle against my guard. "Josh No! PLEASE DON'T DO IT! TAKE ME KILL ME INSTEAD!" I scream and I have lost all control of my body. "Josh!"

The boss stands beside Josh and holds the gun up to his temple.

For the first time since we came out here, Josh looks at me. I can see the pain and fear in his eyes, the blood still flowing from his cheek. I can't breath, I can't move.

"Tell Ashley I love her. Tell my child what I was like and that I love it. Don't ever forget that I love you Ni-"

A loud bang cut through the air and Josh's body dropped to the pebbles like a brick, all life gone from his eyes. For a moment everything stopped. Everything was dead. I screamed out in pain as if I had been shot.

The boss turned back to the camera. "If the money ees not delivered, then the same thing vill happen to them." He pointed at us with the gun that killed Josh. The camera turned towards us.

Nothing makes sense to me. I'm screaming and yelling and crying. I don't know what for. I know it won't bring Josh back. I know he's dead, gone forever. I know he'll never meet his child or see his wife again.

"Vill somevone shut heem up!?"

I feel something heavy come down on my head and my vision is blank.

Okay, so that was intense, uhm yeah...
