Death Valley

Jack sucked a breath in, eyes opening to the sight of a dimly lit elevator. "..where the fuck...?" He mumbled, squinting at the light above him.

Police escorted the remainder of the group into the station, finger printing ryans remaining hand, and pulling the hook off of the other one.

Austin struggled in his cuffs, glaring at the officers.

Adam struggled in his own cuffs. "You have to listen to us..please." He huffed out.

Ryan had his head down as he was lead to a cell. He was pushed in, falling to the ground with a groan. He just let it happen. He heard the cell door close as tears dripped down his face. He killed their youngest brother. He deserved this.

Jack looked forward, seeing the leader kid standing by an elevator switch. The kid flicked the switch down, the elevator groaning as it went down.. down.. down... Jack bathed in red light.

Austin looked towards adam, the two thrown into an interrogation room. "I have the right to a lawyer, right???" The cops said nothing as they left.

Adam sighed, "We do but..they obviously don't care." He put his head down onto the table. He tried to get the image of Jack's body out of his head. *This isn't real... This can't be real...*

Austin sighed softly. "...hey.. at least jack doesn't have to go through this hell anymore.. right..?" He mumbled softly, brows furrowing as he tilted his head.

An interrogator soon came in to the room, settling down in the seat across from the two.

Adam didn't say anything in response. He then heard someone come into the room. He put his head back up, looking at the interrogator.

"what were you four doing in the abandoned hospital?" The man questioned, looking between the two.

Austin knew that he wouldn't believe them, no matter how hard they tried.

Adam ran a hand through his hair, "You won't believe us but..." He then started to recount the events of the past day or so.

Ryan paced back and forth in his cell. He couldn't believe he *killed* his little brother... He put his hand in his hair and gripped it, tears falling down his cheeks.

Austin chimed in with what he saw, the man nodding as he listened.

The police officer lifted his head to see two women in black outfits come up, starting to talk to him.

Ryan looked over and saw the woman. He backed up against the wall. "No..no, no, no.."

"And so..thats why we were at the abandoned hospital.." Adam finished it off.

"..uh huh." The man squinted, "and this.. yellow eyed craze.. is what caused a man to end up dead? And it *wasn't* a group effort?"

The women payed for ryans bail, the police officer leading them to ryans cell. "He's all yours, ladies."

Ryan shook his head, "No, please.. I'd rather rot in here then have you make me kill anyone else." He tried to shrink himself against the wall.

"I would never kill my brother.." Adam looked at Austin, "He wouldn't kill him either. It wasn't a group effort."

The women grabbed ryan and forced him out, dragging him down the hall.

The investigator glared. "Sure. I'm gonna leave you boys in here for a bit, alright? Just so you can set your story straight, n' quit lying to me." He gruffed, before getting up and exiting.

"You gotta be shitting me." Austin groaned, smacking his head against the table.

"Fucking hell... How do we get out of this.." Adam ran a hand through his hair and gripped it.

Ryan tried to fight against the women, looking at the police officers, "Please don't make me go with them!" He cried out, "Please!"

".. I don't know if we have any friends in all of this.." Austin kept his voice lower, knowing they could hear them. "We're fucked, dude.."

The police officers ignored the others cries as he was dragged off, the women collecting ryans things.

Two more women had shown up, though they didn't join the first pair.

Adam groaned, "Fuck." It was his turn to smack his head against the table.

Ryan slowly gave up fighting against the women. He felt tears fall down his face.

The second pair watched as ryan was taken, looking between each other. "We can't blow our cover." Arnetta muttered, alba shaking her head. "Get the boys in the clear, i'll deliver the message."

Austin sat there with adam for what felt like forever, soon hearing a paper slide underneath the door. He looked over in confusion.

Adam tilted his head, getting up and going over. He picked up the paper and read it.

The paper read 'meet us tonight at 5. You'll be free to go.' and it had AJR written on it.

Austin came over, looking at the paper. "..is there anything on the back?? Should we even trust it??"

Adam looked at at the back, nothing. "I mean..what else do we have to lose?" He looked at Austin.

"our lives, that's what." Austin scoffed.

Jack had been taken to a party, being offered drinks and drugs. He didn't take anything. He sat there quietly as he looked up, the partiers gathering and forming a sort of path to the empty throne in the room. A tall man came down the steps, smirking, and moving to the seat, settling down.

He gestured jack over, offering his hand out for the other to kiss. "pledge to me, and you can party forever, metzger." Jack made a little face. "..no.. this party sucks. I.. i wanna go home." The man laughed. ".. you're dead, son."

Jacks eyes widened, putting a hand on his throat. Right... Ryan.. his breath shook a little. "..you don't belong down here son, do you? I think you'd like it better upstairs." The man smirked, waving jack off to the elevator. Jack blinked, slowly backing up and stepping on, the kid flicking the switch up as the elevator slowly climbed, the dirt and dried blood still on his body disappearing, his outfit slowly turning white, a trapper hat appearing on his head. "Wh.. what the..?" He mumbled, before covering his eyes from the blinding light.
