"Josh, I promise you, Simon's okay." My mum walked through the doors into the sidemen household. She needed no 'hello' or 'come in', she knew all too well I couldn't deal with that anymore. She pulled me into a motherly hug, instantly feeling safe in her touch. "How do you know?" I cried into her shoulder, tears wetting the thin material. "I saw it, well I would say he's-" she trailed off. People classify my mum as insane. She says she can see things if she tries hard enough she gets visions of people where they are now. Not in the past nor the future. This second this minute, where they are right now. However, the vision lasts longer due to how strong the item is to the set person. "W-Why mum what's wrong..?" I pull back and wait impatiently for a response "Well as soon as I found out the news, I found his little shirt in your draws from previous visits. I used it to get a vision of him. Dear, I'm sorry-" "mum please tell me what's going on." "He's in a dark room, I couldn't see much, but it's in a third house. Right next to a forest." "Can you get any more detail?" "To do that I'm going to need more time, I need a stronger connection, what do you have that is close to him?" "Umm. The ring on that is normally on his pinky finger?" "That should work but why doesn't he have it on? He never takes it off." "Well... I take it off him at night... So he doesn't hurt himself in his sleep with it." "Hashtag relationship goals." "Never say that again, especially not now." I giggled very slightly but soon went back to being overly worried.
I ran up the creaky stairs quickly, into my room, grabbing the ring from my bedside table. "Josh? What's got you out of bed?" "My mum. I'm finding Simon." "What?!" "Shhh... Visions." "Ohhh..." I ran away from Tobi wanting to hurry up the process as much as I could. I passed the ring to her and she clenched it tightly in the palm of her hand. Her eyes closed and mumbled words under her breath.

Simon was tied up tightly to the pipe on the wall. He had passed out and a pool of blood lay next to him. The shot pushes out the house and into the trees next to the house that Simon was locked up in. Desperate, I tried to get a good shot of the house but I was ripped out of my vision and back to reality. The connection wasn't strong enough, the time in the item ran out.
"Josh, this is not strong enough.." I sadly smiled at him. I felt desperately sorry for his soul. Losing the one he loved most. Bless them, poor Simon stuck in a house of torture, poor Josh left depressed without him. "Listen maybe we should-" he sighed cutting me off of my speech "I have something, something strong enough..." He walked away. This item must mean something. If he didn't want to give it to me as a first result it is a meaningful item. Tears streamed down his face and he placed an item in the palm of my hand. It was a blade, dried blood stains on it. If it was what I thought it was.. "S-Simon used this?" I asked trembling tears flooding my eyes also "When the stress became too much... But he hasn't used it in months." Not wanting to ask any more questions, I clenched it in my hand and closed my eyes.
Simon was still out; the trees were still dark. The shot changed to the door 'Number 3 - Avenue ------' the shot was too high that I couldn't see the last word of the street name. I clenched harder and mumbled some words, I was trying to be ripped out of the vision but I desperately tried to hang on. Suddenly I felt blood trickle down my nose and a shooting pain through my head, forcing me to let go.
"What happened?" "Number 3 - Avenue Something." "Google Maps." He said pulling out his phone. He typed in what he knew and multiple locations came up. "Which one looks like the one what you saw?" He asked. I skimmed all the locations. The first one wasn't by a forest, the second one had houses in a different formation, the third one was on the other side of the country. The fourth one... Matched my vision completely. "That one." I pointed "that's where he is. Avenue Ride." Hope bubbled in my stomach and looked up "Boys! We're going on a trip!"

9:52pm:
"We think we know where Simon Minter is." "How do you know this?" "My mums a physic." "Fine we will send out a car, but if this is wrong information then you've wasted our time." "Number 3, Avenue Ride." I finished the conversation as I climbed in the car along with all the others.
"Right, so Tobi's driving, Vik's navigating, JJ's looking out on the left Windows, Harry's looking out of the right Windows, Ethan's doing nothing and I'm panicking. Let's go."

I heard sirens and I noticed bangs from outside the room I knew the mental man was running. This was my chance to escape I shuffled over the to the sharp bit in the pipe. Cutting the rope so I was free. Immediately I searched for an exit, my hands running along the wall to find a handle. The door was buried in the dark which is why I thought there was no exit. I opened it and ran out the back door considering he probably took the front. I sprinted my fastest but I kept falling over due being tied down for just over a week it was unfortunate that I fell in a road whilst a car was coming.
