"So what's your guys relation to "The Local Dead Kids" title" I asked. They looked at me and then at each other, no one saying a word.

Billy hesitantly answered "W-well, you see..." he looked at the boys before looking back at me "we...-" "For gods sake. We were fucking kidnapped." Vance impatiently interrupted. Billy have a quick glare, while Vance rolled his eyes.

"We all got KIDNAPPED, but in different ways." Arching my eyebrow, I pushed further "How? If you don't mind me asking" Robin sighed and looked at his lunch.

"Well, first it was Billy." Robin looked at Billy, signalling him to speak about his experience.

"Uh. Well, I had forgotten to deliver news paper on the block down from my house. So, I went back out and took my dog with me. Biking down the street, a black van drove past me slowly, stopping just a few metres in front of me" He fiddled with his fork, gripping it slightly.

"He had gotten out and asked for directions to the shop "Grab N Go" not knowing any better I had given him directions. After that I turned my back to him to get to my bike, only for him to have wrapped his arm around my neck, in a chokehold." Billy shivered from remembering what had happened.

"He sprayed some type of substance into my mouth, knocking me out completely. I woke up in a basement, and couldn't get out." His eyes never left the fork he was holding. "He did...horrible things. Things you don't want to know..." A tear slipped from his right eye, he quickly wiped it away and smiled.

"I guess that's me. Vance was the second one to go missing." Vance groaned, glaring at you "Do you really need to know?" Shrugging my shoulders I said "only if you want to"

He grumbled and crossed his arms on the table "I was taken after being dropped of by the police. I was taken by them because I bet some kid up-" "yeah over a stupid Pinball game" Vance elbowed Bruce, to which Bruce groaned in pain.

"It's not a Stupid game. And yes that's why I was taken away. Anyways. The grabber had taken me and did exactly the same thing he did to Billy boy. Fucking asshole beat me with a belt in his basement." Vance hissed at the memory. He lifted his left arm and showed me a long scar "This is a souvenir, from his belt."

Taking a good look at it, I noticed it seemed to be still healing? Piling his arm back, he leaned on the table again. "And FUCK, if you knew what you had coming for you, you'd be scared as shit too." I cringed at the thought of being hit with a belt.

"He's right." Bruce quietly said. "He...touched me." Looking around the room he carried on "inappropriately I mean. He did things that I'll never recover from. He also took me while I was riding my bike. Right after a baseball tournament. Just like the one me and Finn had last weekend."

I have a sympathetic smile, and reached for his hand. Embracing his hand with mine, I said "I'm glad you're safe now. No one can hurt you anymore" He chuckled a little, sadness sinking in. "I know. They'll never be able too" He spoke gently, looking you in the eyes.

Robin coughed, making me and Bruce pull our hands away. "I was freaking kidnapped on the way back from going to the store. I had gone there for snacks, to study with Finn." He cussed a little, and looked me dead in the eye "I tried fighting that soon of a bitch off, but no. He had to pull out a goddamn can with that sleepy stuff in it." He rambled, clearly angry.

"And then BAM. I wake up in a haunted basement. He kept saying if I kept on being a "bad boy" then he wasn't gonna feed me. Y'know what I say to that? BULLSHIT! I ain't ever backing down for an old hag. Especially one that likes to touch little kids." He was doing little punching motions with his hands.

"My little sleepover party at his wasn't as bad as the others." The others stared daggers at him, obviously offended at how chill he was with all this. "Don't worry, I won't let any old crusty man kidnap you" Winking at me, he blew a kiss.
