"Over my dead body."

The two boys make their way closer to the blue eyed boy as Daniel grips the bat tighter.

"Stay away! I'll swing!" Daniel yells. He hears a knock on the door and all the heads in the room turn to the door.

"Daniel? Are you okay?" Daniel hears Justin through the door. The door swigs open slowly with a loud creak. A small pink haired boy stands before them. His eyes go wide as he looks around at the other people in the room. Daniel looks at the boy and mouths two words.

"Help... Me." Justin nods and slowly backs away before sprinting down the hall.

"ALEC! MADISON!" He yells running down the hall. Jonah immediately takes action.

"You two get him. I'll deal with the kid." He says. He runs out of the room, his footsteos getting quieter with each step he takes. Daniel turns his attention back to the two.

"You don't want to do this, Jack come on you have a kid at home.. Do you know how long this will get you? You'll never be able to see her first steps, or her first words, her first day at school." Daniel says, his grip on the bat still tight. Jack stops for a second. "And Zach, your little sister love you so much and she cried when you went to jail, if you go for even longer than her heart will be broken."Zach stops now. The two look at each other and look down in shame.

" You're right." Zach says. Jack looks up at the boy.

"I guess we were just caught up in everything and we were so thankful that Jonah got us out that we were willing to do anything for him." Jack says.

"And we knew it, but neither of us wanted to say anything about it." Zach frowns as he speaks the words. Daniel smiles and loosens his grip on the bat.

"I knew you guys were good. Now come in. We need to get Jonah before he catches Justin." Daniel says.

"Too late." Someone says from the doorway. The three look over to see Jonah with a pistol in his left hand and a teenage boy in his right. "I knew you two would bail eventually. That's why I got this." He cocks the pistol. "Now all of you, on the floor, this isn't a rescue mission anymore, this is a kidnapping." He throws Justin onto the floor next to the other three. Daniel pulls his knees to his chest.

"Not you baby." Jonah says. He picks up the smaller boy and soon Daniel is on his feet. His breath goes unsteady as Jonah hands him a rope.

"Tie them up." He says. Daniel nods and takes the room from him. He gathers the three into a bunch and ties the rope around them, tight, but not tight enough to hurt them. Daniel cries as he lift his head and looks at Jonah. Jonah hands him the gun.

"Now shoot them. Zach first, then Jack, then your new friend. In that order." Jonah says. Daniel shakes his head no as tears fall down his face.

"No.. No Jonah please.. No." Daniel begs. Jonah takes out another gun.

"Either shoot them or I shoot you." He grumbles. Jonah cocks the gun and points it at Daniel's forehead.

"No.. No.. Please. I'm begging you.. Stop." Tears were pouring down Daniel's face. Jonah sticks the first gun into Daniel's hand. The younger boy turns around. His hands shaking wildly as he cocks the gun and points it at Zach's head. Tears still pouring down his face as he cocks the gun. He gulps hard. The boy closes his eyes and.

BANG!

Daniel shoots his eyes open to see Jonah falling to the floor behind him. He looks in the doorway to see Alec standing, gun in his hand, with Madison and.

"Corbyn?" Daniel asks. The blonde looks up from the scene to see Daniel, tear stains all down his face and his eyes were bloodshot. "CORBYN!" Daniel steps over Jonah and pulls his hands to his chest. His legs give out and he falls into Corbyn's arms. The two fall to the floor, Daniel crying into Corbyn's chest as the older boy comforts him.

"It's okay Dani.... You're okay. He's gone now." Corbyn whispers. The blue eyed boy jumps up.

"Do that you see Corbyn I'm not okay, I'm just not okay. It will never be alright!" He yells through the tears.

Corbyn brings Daniel back to his chest and kisses his head as the younger boy's crying gets lighter. Madison calls the police as Alec steps over Jonah to untie the other three. The other two boys come rushing into the room.

"Mom?" Alex asks. Madison hugs the boy.

"It's alright sweetie. We're safe." She whispers. Daniel eyes get heavy as he cries into the older boy's and soon he has fallen into a light sleep.
