Paranoia

Janet's POV

I'm worried sick about Michael. It's been over 2 hours and he still hasn't picked up the phone. I'm startind to become paranoid, it's scaring me. I tapped my foot on the carpet floor, waiting for him to call, clutching to the phone in my hands.

"Janet, calm down. Maybe his battery died on him, or it's on silent," said Tianna, trying to calm me down.

"Something is wrong, I can feel it, it's just not right," 8 say impatiently.

"I'm sure he'll call soon, don't stress it, just breathe, before you hyperventilate," she rubbed my back. I did stop worrying so much, but it still bothered me. My brother is in trouble...I just have that feeling that he's in a life or death situation...I pray he's alright.

Michael's POV

I layed limp on the hard wood floor of the dinning room, I could barely move. The whole place was a mess. I had blood all over me from being punched and beaten so badly, and to make matters worse...they pushed me into a pile of broken glass. So now, shards of the peices stuck out of my arms and legs. I tried to sit up, but the pain was too great. I was practically paralyzed. The, who I soon learned was just called "Boss" walked over to me bending down to my level snickering.

"Now, where is the girl?" He said I looked at him, and then to the other men, and Rene standing there with evil smiles on theoir faces. Rene was especially enjoying this.

"No matter how much torture you make me suffer, I'll never tell you," I said weakly. He frowned. I wasn't going to give upthat easily.

"Jackson, you're only making this harder on yourself," he got up walking away, crunching the already shattered glass under is shoes.

"Take him outside, make him talk, no matter how long it takes, get that adress," I tried standing, and wobbled. The glass stuck in my bare feet. I grunted, and walk tantivly towards the back door, sneaking out while their backs were turned.

"HEY!!! GET BACK HERE!!"  I heard him yell, and I started running away as fast as I could. My feet eere stinging, blood dripped everywhere. I ran to my giving tree, and climbed to the highest branch, concealing myself using the leaves. I stayed quiet, waiting for them to pass by.

"I have to get out of here before they come back, if I don't....," I shook the thought from my head and waited. It was quiet, so I climbed down, and looked around silently, and finally ran to my car. As I was about to jump in, when I was yankedd back, and someone held me under my arms, immobilizing my arm.

"LET GO!!!" I screamed as I tried to escape from his grasp. I kicked and struggled.

"Tell me Jackson!" He screamed.

"NO!!" I yelled. He punched me hard in the stomach, and I fell to the floor. I gasped for air.

"Torture him as long as you need, but don't kill him. Meaning...Rene, come with me," she grumbled and followed him, while two men dragged me to the small cottage behind the main house. The threw me to the floor. I tried to stand, but one kicked me in the back of my knee, and I fell to the floor.

"It'd be easier if you told us where the girl is," said one.

"Never...I will never tell," Some cracked their knuckles, and all came at me, which were about 6, I tried to defend myself, but they punched me and kicked me so hard, I couldn't stand a chance. I blacked out, wondering if I would live after this.

My POV

Janet was tapping her foot on the floor, waiting for the phone to ring.

"Maybe his phone died," I say rubbing her back.

"I just have this feeling he's hurt. You know that connection of when one sibling is hurt, the others feel it? That's how I feel," she looked worried.

"Hey, it'll be ok, just calm down ok, don't stress out, I'm sure he's ok," I say. She nods slightly, and sighs. Soon my mom walked in the door, and Jade was jumping up on her before she even got in the door.

"Hey baby jade," she smiled, patting her back.

"Hey Janet, hey baby," she said kissing my head.

"Hey mom?" I asked.

"Have I ever seen something I shouldn't have?" She paused, and looked at me with worry.

"Tianna, you remember Norman Brady don't you?" I thought about it, until it hit me.

"Yeah, I never liked him, he was a total..........I saw him kill a man, that's what I saw. He was apart of a mob....he sold drugs, and when the man double crossed him......he shot him, and put him in a bat of acid," I was wide-eyed as I remembered the day. Could he possibly be the one going after Michael and I?

"Oh God, Mike's in trouble, we have to get to Never land...now!!!!"  I ran to my room packing my things, and rushing out to the truck. My mom and Janet were already there.

"No Janet...you stay," I say looking at her.

"No, I'm going," she said. I shook my head and agreed. We have to get to him, and fast!!!
