*Caitlyn/Kennedy's POV*

I stared at the duct-taped boys in horror. Cait, snap out of it! Help them! Damn it,staring's just making you useless!

I snapped out of my trance, and took my swiss army out of a secret compartment in the inside of my jacket. I fumbled through the individual pieces of metal, until I found the scissors. I tried them, and didn't even cut into the scissors. I tried the corkscrew. Nope. Mini blade? Barely scratched it. I sighed, and paused the music on my phone. The boys looked at me like I was crazy, until I took the phone case off, and a wicked little knife set fell out. I sliced the tape on their wrists and ankles, and let them take the tape off their mouths. As they gaped, I lined the knives back into the case, and snapped my phone back in it, wincing at the little noise. "Always prepared." I whispered. "Blake, is this a code silver?" I asked. He nodded.

Code silver was for the silver suitcases. They were strategically placed in rooms of Katie and I's family's houses. Katie's were under the sink, LITERALLY in Adam's mattress, and velcroed to the bottom of her bedframe. It was pretty much the same for all the Rivers Brothers, and my close friends in Canada. Liam always had one in a compartment in his luggage.

Ours was in this closet, in a box labelled "Socks", In a safe embedded in the wall disguised as an old telephone, and in honour of old man Michaelson, in a "fuse box" in a forever locked room in the basement.

Blake army crawled to the box of "socks", opened it, and got the suitcase out. We distributed the vests, headsets, and weapons.

"Why can't we come with you two?" asked Jai.

"Because you guys are international superstars, and I'm just your girlfriend. And He's a trained officer." I hissed.

"But you're technically also an international superstar. And the fact that you're my girlfriend makes it even more of a problem with you going." He said, his lip trembling.

"If we keep wastin time, he'll find us." I said, popping an earphone in, and sliding my phone into a pocket. I gave them all a hug, and Jai what could be a last kiss. I knew Josh wasn't capable of getting through security alone.

I checked the ammo in my shotgun, sub-machine gun, and rubber bullet gun. This was going to get ugly. "Jai, call the EMS once we close the door, and whisper. Got it?" I asked.

"Why EMS?" Asked Luke.

"Because shit's gotten real, and last time I checked, that wasn't ketchup on Josh's shirt." Said Blake. Jai nodded, and I gave them all a tight hug. I stood up, and did one last check. Not of my weapons. But the faces before me, memorising them all. I sighed, and put my hand on the doorknob. Music flooded my right ear, calming me down a fraction.

"I'm staring at the glass in front of me,

Is it half empty?

Have I ruined all you've given me?

I know I've been selfish,

I know I've been foolish,

But look through that and you will see,

That I'll do better.

I know, baby I can do better."

Blake and I opened the door, walked through, and closed it behind us.

"If you leave me tonight,

I'll wake up alone,

Don't tell me I will make it on my own.

Don't leave me tonight,

This heart of stone will sink 'til it dies,

If you leave me tonight."

Thump. Shot. I walked towards the first door, and opened it. Nobody there. Blake did the same for the second door. Nothing so far. I could feel my heart racing in my chest. Nothing in all seven doors.

"Sometimes I stare at you while you are sleeping,

I listen to your breathing,

Amazed how I somehow managed to,

Sweep you off of your feet girl,

Your perfect little feet girl,

I took for granted what you do,

But I'll do better.

I know, baby I can do better."

Blake and I went up the stairs, going our seperate ways in the halls, checking for a pulse in the bodies on the ground. 7/7. Good. I kept walking, as the pacing footsteps got closer. My breaths came out shaky.

"If you leave me tonight,

I'll wake up alone,

Don't tell me I will make it on my own.

Don't leave me tonight,

This heart of stone will sink 'til it dies,

If you leave me tonight."

 I went up the final set of stairs. The pacing was as loud as my heartbeat. I opened the door. Nobody. I let out a light sigh, and walked to the next door, my room. I kicked the door down, to be met by a buff-looking guy, and Josh. I locked eyes with him for a split second, as his dark brown eyes went from a look of anger, to recognition, to horror. My finger just grazed the trigger on the rubber bullet gun, when I felt an unbearable pain in my left chest. I fell to the ground, as I heard four screams.

"And don't you know,

My heart is pumping,

Oh, it's putting up the fight.

And I've got this feeling,

That everything's alright.

Don't you see?

I'm not the only one for you,

But you're the only one for me.

If you leave me tonight,

I'll wake up alone."

I screamed in pain.

Blake, Jai, and Josh screamed in horror of what just happened.

There were dark red stains on my walls, and my vision started going dark at the edges. The final verses of my music rung out in my brain. As my eyes closed, I saw a pool of red staining the pristine white carpet.

"If you leave me tonight,

I'll wake up alone,

Don't tell me I will make it on my own.

Don't leave me tonight,

This heart of stone will sink 'til it dies,

If you leave me tonight.

Don't leave me tonight."
