To her surprise, instead of seeing Braeden enter, she saw a messy mop of curly hair. For a brief second the duo stared at each other, not moving even in the slightest, not knowing what to do.

From the corner of her eye, she could see Cole slowly inching towards the door, to which caused her to lunge for him. He narrowly managed to dodge the attack but was met with another instantaneous lunge.

Cole managed to open the door, but still got shoved to the floor by her, as her heartbeat started to accelerate, as she struggled to keep the moving Cole on the ground.

"Hey who are you?!? And are you doing to Cole!?"

Braeden's yelling pierced through her eardrums but she kept herself focused on subduing the man underneath her, who was mere seconds from wiggling out of her grasp.

To her luck, Ruby had crept up behind Cole, and managed to swing at him, with her trusty frying pan.

With another large BONK, Cole's frantic expression turned more calm, before his eyes shut and he slipped into sweet unconeciousness. However, Gabbie couldn't be too sure so she snapped her fingers twice in front of his face, and when she saw no response, she slowly got off him, and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"You're not going anywhere."

At the sound of the voice, both Ruby and Gabbie turned their heads to see Braeden attempting to sneak away, whilst Rik was standing in the hall of the bus, with her arms out so she was blocking the path.

All three of them shuffled closer to Braeden, who's face visibly dropped at this, which caused him fiddle with the ends of his shirt.

"I suggest you just do whatever we say. There'a three of us and one of you." Rik suggested with a small shrug as she gestured for Braeden to go sit down next to Dylan, who was still out cold.

Braeden looked from the seat to the three of them, before hesitantly making his way towards the seat.  A small sigh of relief escaped her lips as she turned over to Cole's body that was laying on the floor, before turning to Ruby.

"Ruby, get the duct tape. We have some work t do."

STEP TWO: ABDUCT ALL MEMBERS ONE BY ONE; COMPLETED

Ruby carefully crossed the first two steps off of her 'plan' before looking up from her paper with a small smile.

"First two steps are complete! Now onto the next step, pasó tres!" She murmured before rubbing her hand together with a small hum of satisfaction, before looking back down at the paper in her hand.

STEP 3: DRIVE OFF TO WASHINGTON DC WITH WALLOWS WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT

"Hey um, so who's gonna drive the bus...,"!Gabbie's voice piped up from behind her, before she heard shuffling footsteps followed by Rik murmuring a small 'me' which seemed to be headed towards the driver's seat.

Whilst Rik was heading there, Ruby slipped the keys she had taken from that Gabe guy and passed it into Rik, who took it with a grateful nod. Before long, she heard the familiar sound of a engine starting up, and before they knew it, the bus was on it's merry way.

"So.....what do you guys want to eat later on...." Ruby asked, looking around before landing her gaze on Braeden who was staring at them. Furrowing her eyebrows, she stopped herself from freaking out. "What the hell are you looking at, Turtle boy?"

A small awkward silence passed them, before Dylan's groaning interrupted it all. Dylan's head was slowly swaying from left to the right before he slowly brought up his head.

"God what an awful dream Brae.. I dreamt that I headed back to the tour bus and some shirt girl knocked me ou-" Dylan paused halfway as he blinked a few times before looking at his surroundings. "Wait, it actually happened?"

Upon seeing Dylan's confused look, Gabbie laughed softly to herself, secretly wondering how the actual hell they had managed to pull it off. She took a few seconds to compose herself before giving a blank look to Braeden and Dylan, because Cole was still unconscious.

"Anyways I'm gonna ask this only one more time. What do you want for dinner?" She asked, fighting hard to control her excitement, as she kept her face neutral.

"What if you just let us go?" Dylan offered getting up, before slowly slumping back into his chair, when Ruby shot him a look.

"Can you guys hurry up?! There's an intersection coming up and I still have to search up the place on Google maps!!" Rik yelled frustratedly from the front of the bus.

Another few seconds of silence passed by, before Braeden opened his mouth to speak up.

"I could go for Burger King right now. And some La Croix." He suggested, to which Ruby made a disgusted face to.

"Ew, Burger King sucks ass."

"No it doesn't. Since we're the hostages you should just let us pick what we want."

"I'm not putting any nasty Burger King burger in my stomach."

"Shut up Braeden, Burger King does suck."

"Dylan, come on, you're supposed to be on my side."

"You know what we're going to get Taco Bell since you guys can't make up your mind." Gabbie exclaimed with a small huff as she pinched the bridge of her nose annoyed.

Small murmurs of agreement rose from the two duct-taped men, whilst Gabbie took a seat opposite Braeden, seeing that Ruby had already made her way next to the empty spot to Logan Lerman.

The first five minutes of the ride were silent, seeing as this whole situation was a big awkward one. And not to mention it would be a at least another 20 minutes before they got to Taco Bell.

"Hey...um nice shirts. The Beatles huh? Very classy.." Braeden chimed, quite out of the blue with a small smile on his face as he gestured to the Beatles shirts that both Ruby and Dylan were wearing.

Ruby and Gabbie shared a look before Gabbie narrowed her eyes suspiciously at him. If Braeden wasn't restraint by the duct tape binding his hands together, he would have raised his arms in self-defence, but he didn't so he just shrugged.

Another few moments passed before another person decided to speak up. And surprisingly it wasn't Braeden, for once.

"So what the hell are you gonna do with us?" Dylan questioned, arching his eyebrow. "You going to make us your slaves to serve you and only call you master?"

His tone was light-hearted in a joking way, but deep down he was afraid that could be a very possibility. He looked between the two of the waiting for an answer.

"No, we're going to keep you so we can have sex with you." Ruby retorted with a completely serious expression. Dylan's face slightly paled at her statement, before she burst out in laughter.

"The look on your face! And...I don't know. We haven't thought this far ahead." She finished, trying to stifle the rest of her giggles.

Similarly Gabbie had covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing but it was simply too much. Before long, all four of them were laughing, as if they were all old friends reunited.

When the laughter dies down, the silence settled in again, but this time it felt far less tense and a bit more tolerable.

However little did they know the troubles that they would face at Taco Bell.
