Through the Light - McBusted FanFic

Chapter 5 - Hostages

Looking around the cold gloomy basement which was completely empty they could see Dougie, Harry Matt and Danny were obviously not here. James and Tom were unaware the light had taken them to a different place to their friends, nevertheless they continued to search oblivious. In the corner of the basement there was a lift. 

Tom: "James look there's a lift over their they must all be in a different part of the building"           

James looked over to the lift in response to what Tom told him, he ran to the lift accompanied by Tom. Having to wait for the lift felt like a life time, but it finally opened with a 'ping' noise. They saw from the buttons in the lift that the building they were in had ten floor's, their plan was to search every floor one by one till they found their friends. They pressed the button with the letter 'G' on it taking them to the ground floor. Their hearts where racing for they didn't even know what building they were in and they were unsure of what they would be greeted with once the lift door's opened. When it did open however, they realized they had nothing to worry about, it was just a plain simple reception area with no one in it. Tom and James stepped out the lift.

James: *Shout* "Matt, Danny!"

Tom:  *Shout* "Harry, Dougie!"

They searched the whole space, their band mates were nowhere to be seen. They returned to the lift to try the first floor, when they stood in the lift taking them to their next floor Tom began to hum 'Room on the 3rd Floor' James shifted his eyes to the side and smiled as he began to hum along with Tom. They were rudely interrupted though when the lift let out a 'ping' letting them know they had reached their designated floor. This floor was a office space James and Tom looked at each other with puzzled faces,  why was every floor empty. Tom moved towards the large white sash window.

Tom: *Excited shout* "James, James!"

James looked out the window to a deserted street he couldn't see what Tom was getting excited about. 

James: "What?"

Tom: *Sigh* "There's snow on the ground!"

James: "And...?"

Tom: "Ugh! It's April! There is a huge blanket of snow on the ground! It's light out! Do you not get where I'm going with this?"

James: "Global warming?"

Tom grabbed his band mate by the shoulders Tom was positively high.

Tom: *Excited yell* "Time travel!"

James' jaw dropped 

Tom moved over to the computers which were very old you know, them big white ones from the stone age. 

Tom: *Touching computer* "Just look at these computers, no one has one of these anymore! Especially in office buildings like this!" 

This is when James started jumping up and down Tom moved closer to join him in his celebrations. They looked like a pair of 'fangirls' who just got a hug off of their favorite band member. Tom was a little extra excited because he thought it was his favorite day of the year.

Tom: *Enthusiastically* "Marry Christmas, James!"

James: *Laughing* "Huh?"

Tom: "It's Christmas Day! That is why the building is empty"

You couldn't take the smiles off of their faces, and when they heard the lift 'ping' open it made them even more thrilled than they already were, thinking it was Dougie, Harry, Matt and Danny came to see them having over heard their girly wailing. Unfortunately this was not the case. When they rushed over to the lift they knocked into a masked lanky guy dressed from head to toe in black. James and Tom's heart sank when they saw the gun in his hand which he had turned on them. James was too petrified to even think to roar at him. "In the lift. Now!" The guy shouted, although it came out quite muffled as he had to say it with a mask over his mouth. James and Tom shimmied into the lift no questions asked, well who would ask questions if someone was pointing a gun at you. 

In the lift the guy pressed button number '10' as the lift door closed the guy confronted them "Are you the police? How'd you get in the building?" Tom and James looked at each other in utter fear each of them wanting the other to speak, Tom nodded at James telling him to speak. He took in a breath of air his breathing was unsteady and shaky.

James: "No... were not the police and, well you wouldn't even believe how we got in the building"

As James said this the lift doors 'pinged' open again, they were forcefully shoved out of the lift into a room just like the first floor, however this room was full of people. Two of them were dressed in black and standing with guns like the one that got James and Tom, the rest of them were all sat on the floor and looked just as afraid as James and Tom felt. They were dragged over to where the two other guys stood. "David here, says their not the police" 

James: "Who's David?"

[Guy with gun]: "You! It's written on your T shirt" 

*[[They were still wearing the clothes they wore for the concert ]]*

James would have told them his actual name however he felt it wasn't necessary in the current situation they found themselves in. "Search them!" one of them said to the other two. James and Tom were patted down. "I've found something" one said lifting Tom's 'vlogging camera' out of his back pocket handing it to the other. "What's this!?" Tom was shaking from head to toe.

Tom: "My camera" 

The guy looked closely at the camera turning it around in his hand looking at every square inch of it. "Weird camera" James broke in.

James: "New model, he's testing it out"

The guy looked at James and dropped the camera down on the desk beside him. "Put them over there with the rest of the people" James and Tom were led over to where all the people were sitting on the floor and told to sit. The three guys removed their masks, they all had hostile faces one had a scar on his cheek he looked like the leader. He also looked like the oldest the other two appeared much younger, still none of them looked remotely kind. James and Tom stayed close together wondering what they had got themselves into.

Tom:  *Whisper* "I don't think it's Christmas Day anymore"

James: *Whisper* "Were hostages"
