�Justin? � J? � Come on man I need you to snap out of it and pull it together. Please Justin for me? �� JC was totally lost in his task to bring Justin out of his trance that he was completely unaware that his pleas and Justin�s mumbling had steadily increased in volume, drawing the attention of one of their captors� however the other 3 guys had not missed this fact�
�Jace�� Lance said urgently watching the man turn back and say something to his friends�. No answer so he tried again� a little louder and a little more urgent�
�What is it Lance?� JC said sounding a little annoyed, never turning away from Justin
�Look� JC followed to wear Lance was pointing and saw the men looking back at them and seemingly very angry. �Damn it� he said as the man started towards them.
�I thought I told you guys to stay quite!� the man yelled, �You both shut up now or there will be big trouble to pay for!� the man kept advancing towards them�
JC took a deep breath, his thoughts were racing a mile a minute and the fact that the man was rather pissed off and coming towards them didn�t help the situation. He had promised to Justin that he would protect him, keep him safe and that nothing bad would happen to him and he wasn�t about to break that promise. He positioned himself in front of Justin so that in the event the man got there and tried to take a swing at Justin, he would have to go through JC first. Another deep breath and a quick glance at his other friends and the other men hold them hostage, JC rapidly began to talk in hope of reasoning with that man and calming him down.
�Look he is just scared, we all are, I was just talking to him to try and calm him down, if you would just let me talk to him for a bit longer I sure he will be fine and then we will be as quite as you want us to be...�
�Shut Up! I don�t want to hear your excuses!� the man said cutting JC off in the processes.
�You get him to shut up now, or I will do it myself!� the man said raising his gun a little�
It was then that JC picked the oddest time to stand up to this man, he was tried of being pushed around and yelled at, and he wasn�t about to sit around while his friends were threatened. Anger quickly replaced the fear he felt and JC suddenly rose to his feet getting in the man�s face. Much to the surprise of his friends and the men holding them. He started yelling at the top of his lungs�
�How Dare You! He is scared! Can�t you see that?! Don�t you understand that!? You�re the one doing it to him! To all of us so you must grasp that concept somewhere in that small brain of yours! Well if you want him to be quite you are going to let me talk to him for a while longer in order to calm him down. But right now you are not helping by going around throwing out threats�� he was cut off as the man suddenly swung his hand out backhanding JC across the face causing him to fall down to the ground, then taking out his gun and holding it to JC�s head he began to talk�
�You shut the hell up! You are in no position to be talking to me that way and telling me what to do! I am the one with the gun! I am the one in charge! Now smarten up or else you might not live to see your next birthday kid!�
He was greeted by silence, as JC wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth where the man had hit him�
�Good boy� you have 5 minutes to get him to shut the hell up or I will do it myself! Do I make myself clear?!�
JC just nodded and quickly turned around to a shaking Justin pulling him into his embrace
�Aww� how touching and heart warming� You two come with me� your management is insisting on talking to someone.� The man said pointing his gun to Chris and Lance. They slowly raised themselves to their feet and waited for further instructions�
�You three stay here and don�t try anything� we are watching you� particularly you two.� The man said eyeing JC and Justin.
�Let�s go�� They watched as Lance and Chris were pushed away from them then led into another room followed by 3 of the men�
All JC could think of was that now they were in even more trouble�
