The Reverend, instead of letting the ginger go, kept the knife pushed against the other's throat. He nodded to the people behind Lewis and Paul, which made the other two turn around.
Large, silver chains were wrapped around their bodies. They felt heat through their clothes, and began to thrash and kick.
"I thought we had a deal!" Paul shouted.
"We do," The Reverend released and pushed Simon to the ground. The ginger gasped and crawled away from them, looking to Paul and Lewis helplessly. "But I wanted to get you two under control before I let him go."
Two of the church attendents began to close in on Simon, who was looking more terrified by the minute. He crawled off the stage, and regained his footing.
"Don't you hurt him!" Lewis yelled.
"Don't worry," The Reverend held a hand up to the two church attendents. "Leave him be. And let the other two..... beasts go. We have these two. We can get them later."
Simon refused to let anyone get close to him, but waited for Lucas and Dave to be released. When the silver chains were released from them, they headed out the door, sparing a look back at Lewis and Paul.
"Come on," Dave whispered, putting a hand on Simon's shoulder. "We'll get them back; promise."
Simon nodded, and they left the church. They headed back down the road, towards Lewis' car, which was harder to make out due to the darker light. It had gotten later then Simon expected it to be. It had also gotten a lot colder, and he wrapped up in his coat some more.
"What are we going to do?" Simon asked when they were back in the car. The car was still running and the warmth inside was welcoming.
"We'll get them back. We just need a plan," Lucas said, and drove the car out of the hiding place it had been in.
"What kind of plan? That 'battle' didn't last long, and it took you guys out quickly! What are we going to do? What are we going to tell the others when they find out they're missing? How are we going to get them back?" Simon babbled on and on.
"Okay, enough," Dave said, firmness in his voice. "We'll get them back. And tell your friends they went a business trip or something."
"Business trip? You still don't know how we run things in Yogtowers, do you?" Simon said, sighing in defeat. "They can't go on business trips, because our business is here in town. And unless they went somewhere to buy a game instead of ordering it online, I don't know how that could work."
"Your work is complicated," Lucas commented. "Okay, tell them they're on vacation."
"Vacation won't work either. We play video games all day, I'm sure that's more of a vacation than anything."
"Then I don't know! What about they're visiting relatives?" Dave suggested, starting to feel frustrated.
"...That might work," Simon said. "They could both be visiting their parents, even though it might be a bit random. Who knows, it might work."
"Okay," Lucas said, the annoyance clear in his voice. "Now that that's settled, we can dicuss our plan. Now, Paul and Lewis are going to need a rescue team soon. A new Vampire and Werewolf shouldn't be left alone for too long without any experienced ones nearby." He glanced out the window, in the sky. "We have a few days, anyway. We'll meet at Hannah's apartment again tomorrow, and you should come, Simon."
"Of course I'm coming!" Simon said. "Those are my friends in there!"
"Good," Dave said. The car turned on the road where Lewis' and Hannah's apartment stood.
