The Monkees Part 1

Chapter 26

Mike's POV

I didn't know what to do. If I escaped and got caught, the punishment would be 10x worse than it already is. I don't wanna know what they have in store for me. That's the last thing I wanna know. I cannot get out of this situation either. I have tried several times to escape these men. I succeeded until now.

Now since the other 3 know what happened that night, it makes me wonder what they will do. Will they go to the police? Or will they come in by themselves? Who knows when it comes to them. I never understood what they were thinking when one of us ended up in trouble.

There were the total of 5 guys all around me as we walked back to the building. Once inside, I was taken to a room and one of the guys threw me inside and I landed on my back which hurt pretty bad. My hands and feet were then bound by some chains so they made sure that I didn't get away.

I wasn't sure what to think. I knew sooner or later this was going to happen but I didn't know when. Now I know. I hope Micky and Davy and Peter come quick. I don't wanna die. I could feel my heart racing. I had become scared. It was actually the first time I showed fear since all this started. I wasn't scared before. Why now?

I heard the metal door creak open and someone who was a little taller than me walked inside. "I see you got the one I have wanted for quite sometime."

"I take it your the boss?" I say.

"Yep. I am. Recognize me kid?"

"Now that you mention it, you do look a little like dracula."

"Nope. Try again. You get 2 more tries."

"Okay. Let me see. Could you be..............a werewolf of some kind?"

"One more try. And if you make up a sarcastic answer like that again, I will hurt you. See, I'm not a violent person. So, if you call me one of those rediculous names again, I will send my friends to do quite a number on you. So, I'll ask you again. Do you know who I am?"

"I believe you were there that night. 6 months ago. You were the one who pulled the trigger on the gun and killed that man because he also witnessed a murder of a kid who didn't pay what he was supposed to pay."

"Very good. It looks like they filled you in on the rest of the story. Thats good. It saves me the trouble of telling you why that other guy died. Now, I will be back. I expect you to be right where you are when I get back in here. Got it?"

I nodded slowly as he left. There were no other guys in there so it was just me. I couldn't escape even I wanted to. Not to mention being chained up and everything. I really need to get a different hobby than snooping around in areas I really shouldn't be."

No one's POV

Micky and the other 2 monkees had just reached the MonkeeMobile that was sitting on the top of a hill. They each hopped in and Davy said: "So, whats the plan Micky? What are we going to do?"

"Well, we will get the cops involved. Lets see if they will actually listen to us or if they think we are cursed or something because of how often one of us is kidnapped. They might not listen. They might think we are crying wolf or something. Maybe it would be best if we did this on our own. We can't keep getting the cops involved."

"Yeah. I hear ya. So, got a plan?"

"Yeah. Actually I do. We need to go in there and get Mike back. Then, we can expose these guys to the police and tell them what we had witnessed when we were up in the trees. Once we get Mike back, then we can go to the police. You follow me?"

Davy and Peter both looked at each other and nodded in unison as Micky eyed both of them. The three of them were ready for anything that would be thrown at them. It didn't matter what it was. They couldn't lose their band leader. They can't just let him fall without helping him.

Right now, they didn't know weather Mike was still alive or if they had killed him already. They knew it would be risky to go in there and save him. But it would be worth it. They knew they needed to fight. And they weren't going to give up. Not now, not ever!

Mike's POV

It had been several hours since I last saw someone. These chains were digging deep into my wrists and ankles creating really bad cuts on them. I wanted to attempt to escape but like they said, if I did escape and they found me again, I would get hurt 10x worse than what they already had planned for me. I can't let that happen. No way. I have been in these kinds of situations before. But it wasn't as bad as it is now.

I kept thinking. My eyes trailed down to my wrists. If I keep moving around the way I had been, the chains will cut deeper into my skin. I don't need that right now. I only wanna get out of here. That's it. I wanna go back home, I don't wanna continue running anymore. I don't wanna continue fearing for my life or my friends lives as well. I wish I  was never nosey that one night that they saw me when they  killed that poor innocent person who did literally nothing wrong. He was probably caught and killed immediately after witnessing the murder.

The door flew open again. I didn't recognize him. It just made me wonder what he had to do with all of this.

"Looks like you tried to escape. Those chains tight enough?"

"I didn't try to escape. They dug into my skin every time I moved. The least you could do is  show  consideration and loosen these chains for me so they wouldn't dig into my wrists and ankles."

"What, you think I'm stupid? Is that what's going on? You think I'm just going to loosen your chains before you get killed? Not a chance. I ain't doing it. And don't ask me again or your going to know what it feels like getting a black eye. Ya know, my boss told me that if you gave me any trouble, I could do whatever I want to ya."

"I hate to say this, but uh, I already know what it feels like to get a black eye. One of your other friends that got arrested gave me and my friend a black eye. And don't think my friends won't come looking  for me. I know they will. I think its safe to say that they know all about what your boss did."

Thats when the boss walked in. He heard Mike say those words and he said: "What do you mean Nesmith? How do they know if you never told them what happened that night?"

"Easy. You remember when you found me in that tree?"

"Yeah."

"Well, you should have looked for them as well. Because thats where they were. Including Peter."

"Go check the trees where we found Mr. Nesmith!" He practically yelled.

"Wait. Let me save you the trip. They aren't there anymore. They probably  went to go get some help. And there's nothing you can do to stop it." I smirked really big at him.

"You are going to pay!"
