Neil and Dani were sitting beside each other, discussing ways to get Matt's precious puppet away from him.
Matt walked into the room and the two fell silent.
"Hi," Matt said.
"Hey," Neil replied.
Matt moved towards them and sat next to them casually. "What's up?"
"Just chatting. You?" Dani replied.
"Nothing really." He threw his arm around Neil. "I know I've been acting strange for a little while... kind of ignoring you guys, spending too much time with Jimmy... anyways, I want to tell you that you're my best friends."
"Aww, Matt, it's alright. We forgive you," Dani said.
Suddenly Matt lashed out, pulling the two close and knocking them out.
"Matt... why..." Neil choked as he struggled to stay conscious.
"Anything for my love," Matt replied softly.
......
Matt dragged the two into that day's venue, through the back door so he wouldn't be noticed.
"Hello, baby," he said, entering an unused dressing room.
"Hello, Matty," Jimmy replied, "How'd it go?"
"It was so easy! They're way too trusting of me." Matt placed the unconscious Neil and Dani upright on a chair. Jimmy tied them up.
"Now what?" Matt asked.
"Now we wait for them to wake up."
......
Brad and Barry searched the bus. "Where the hell could they be?" Barry yelled.
"Calm down, I'm sure they're around here somewhere..." Brad replied.
"We've searched the entire bus. Soundcheck is in an hour!"
"Alright, let's check the venue," Brad suggested.
"Okay," Barry agreed.
They walked into the venue and started checking every room they were allowed to enter. Every bathroom stall, every concession stand, the stage itself.
"This is our dressing room... and they're not in here," Brad said.
They heard voices coming from down the hall.
They followed the voices and were soon able to make out some of the words.
"Matt and Jimmy," Barry whispered.
"Why do we have to wait for them to wake up? We could just kill then now," they heard Matt say.
"Because that's not as fun!" Jimmy responded.
"Oh God," Brad whispered, fear lacing his voice.
"Go get the puppet off the bus. Burn it," Barry replied, "If I hear anything really bad I'll go in there and hold them off for a bit."
"Okay." Brad ran out of the venue in a dead sprint.
Barry continued to listen to Matt and Jimmy. "Can't we just wake them up now with cold water or something?" Matt asked.
"Geez, aren't you impatient. Just wait. It won't be long," Jimmy replied.
"How are we going to keep ourselves from being suspects in this?" Matt asked.
"I'll figure something out," Jimmy responded.
Barry already knew that meant enchanting something to make everyone forget about it.
"What... what's going on..." Barry heard Neil say.
"Great! You're awake!" Jimmy said, pleased, "But Dani's still asleep. Oh well, he's not really important to this anyways. I'm doing this because of you. Dani's only here because he also knows what I did."
"Jimmy... what? Why would you want to..." Neil asked, confused.
"I'll tell you... Just let me destroy this bracelet of mine," Jimmy replied.
"Barry?" Brad had returned.
"Yeah?" Barry whispered.
"The puppet's not on the bus. I checked every drawer and every bunk and every cabinet."
They both glanced to the dressing room.
"Jimmy... he has it. He knows we figured out what he did. That's why he's doing... this." Barry realized.
"But... he only knows that Neil and Dani did. Otherwise he'd have tried to kill us too." Brad added.
They both swallowed heavily before running into the dressing room.

Anyways. Yeah. This story's probably almost over, but don't worry, I'm planning a sequel! Yay!!!
