Nightmares Never End: Chapter 4: Silence is Best

(This chapter jumps ahead just slightly, it is also short ;) )

They were sitting silently huddled together on the living room floor; passing worried and concerned glances amongst each other. The men who had forced their way in about an hour ago and were holding them hostage stood off in on of the far corners of the room talking quietly amongst each other. From what little they could make out of their conversation it was what the men were going to do with them while waiting for their money� It was of course all for money. It was a well-known fact that they were worth a hell of a lot of money, so why should it be about anything else. They had heard their captors argue over just how much money they were going to ask for when it was finally settled that they would ask for 30 million� the figure shocked the boys, such a high figured seemed impossible to obtain, but that was these men, price for their lives.

They had been told that for now as long as they stayed still, didn�t try anything and shut up none of them would be hurt. But they could have sworn they heard a �badly� added to the end of that statement� but none of them wanted to push it and find out, nor did they really want to know, you know the old statement �ignorance is bliss.�

So now here they sat as silently as possible, considering it as their best and currently only defense against the men that held them. As long as they could all keep their cool and stay quite none of them would have to get hurt and it will be over soon. Too bad that plan wasn�t apparently in the cards�

There was a quite mumbling noise coming from amongst them, very soft almost un-noticeable at first, but with every passing second the volume of it increased. They boys glanced at each other in an effort to find out where the noise was coming from when their eyes settled on Justin�

He was curled up in a ball, and slowly rocking himself back and forth mumble in-coherent words to himself. Immediately fear struck the other four boys. Quickly glancing over at the men on the other side of the room to see if they were aware of the noises they were relieved to find out they hadn�t yet heard them and they still had a chance to keep it that way, that�s when they took action.

�We have to get him to stop �� Lance whispered

�Leave it to me, I�ll try to get him to clam down�� JC said glancing once more over to the men holding them hostage, he quickly turned to Justin and in hushed tones tried to get him to stop.

�Hey J, you gotta stop talking� ok� your okay� we won�t let anything happen to you�� JC carried on like this, but his efforts were seemingly going unheard� he couldn�t help but wonder what was going on in Justin�s mind�
