Concert Hostages

Chapter 2

"How long are we keeping the hostages sir?"

The man in charge let out a frustrated sigh. "I went over the plans how any times with you guys?" He held up a hand as his henchman opened his mouth to speak. "Like I've said in the beginning. If they want their precious children alive and their special boyband, they are going to pay us three mill."

The man crossed his arms behind his back before starting to pace. "If they don't deliver us the money, then the longer they wait till they get everyone out of here safely. Does that answer your question Vic?"

"Yes sir."

"Perfect. Follow me, I would like to pay five boys a visit."

Vic followed behind his boss to the back where the ddressing rooms were located. The guard in front of one of the doors stepped aside as they entered the room. Louis, Liam and Zayn quickly faced the large men.

"How are my favorite captives doing?"

"Why do you care?" Louis snarled.

"I just want to make sure you boys are doing fine and don't need anything at the moment. It is going to be a long night."

Louis was about to step forward until Zayn stopped him. "Why are you doing this?"

"Like I said before, money. You boys make thousands just from one concert. Me making that kind of money myself would take weeks or months. I figured I'd get it a faster way."

"If by fast you mean the most messed up way," Louis scoffed. 

The man just looked at him, a smirk playing on his lips. "Fiesty aren't we? Would be a shame if you kept trying to be smart with me."

The boys just looked at him. "What do you mean?"

"It means you could jeopardize the well being of your other buddies next door." Will said bluntly, pointing in the direction of the other room. The color drained from their faces.

"Who are you?" Liam asked breathlessly.

The man walked to the door before glancing over his shoulder. "You can call me Will. Will because I will, get what I want if it means taking a life or two."

Will walked out of the room with Vic closing it behind them on the speechless boys. He turned to face Vic, clearing his throat. "Vic, go check on how the others are doing in the seats and report back to me in ten. I have one more room to check on."

"Yes sir."

Vic walked off towards the stage talking into his walkie talkie. The guard in front of the other door, opened it for Will. Harry and Niall stood up immediately, watching his every move. 

"Hello boys. Just dropping by to see how you are doing."

Niall just glared at him. "What do you want from us?"

"I just want to make sure you are doing alright. I talked to the other boys already and just like I told them, we got a long night ahead of us. Would you like anything?"

"Well for starters, you can take us to the others," Harry stated bluntly.

Will let out a chuckle. "Unfortunately, that is going to have to wait."

"Why?"

"It's more fun seeing you all worked up and curious about each others safety."

Niall bawled his fists together. "You're mental. You should be the one suffering not those innocent people out there."

Will shook his head slowly at Niall. "I'd be careful what you say around me. Or someone could get hurt from you mouthing off."

Harry placed a hand on Niall's shoulder in an attempt to calm him down. Will smiled at the boys. "Like I warned your friends in the other room. It would be a shame if they got hurt from something you do or say."

This time it was Niall holding Harry back as Will left the room cackling like a maniac. He walked back onto the stage where Vic was standing with four other men.

"Any word yet on the money?" Will asked, crossing his arms behind his back.

"Not yet sir. The police have the area surrounded and are looking for ways in."

"Do you have every entrance, every door, every nook and cranny rigged to blow and men by them as well?"

"Of course sir. If anything changes, I will be sure-"

Will cut him off sharply by grabbing hold of his vest. "If anything changes that puts this mission in danger, you're a dead man. You better make sure nothing leaves and nothing enters. The first sign of anything going wrong, I'm coming for you."

Will pushed him away, glaring at the other four before walking backstage, leaving a petrified Vic hoping absolutely nothing goes ary with their plans.
