Noises coming from downstairs woke him from his slumber. Figuring it was just the guys fooling around he rolled over and closed his eyes again hoping to go right back to sleep. A few moments later he heard the strange noises again. Rolling onto his back and opening his eyes to look at the ceiling he started to whisper to himself.
�What the hell are they doing that could be making that noise? They know that other people are trying to sleep!� Sitting up so he could look over at the other bed to see if JC had heard the noises and woken up too, he was surprised to find the other bed empty. It had obviously been slept in or at the very least lied in� that�s when he heard the noises yet again. He looked towards the clock to check the time� maybe he had over slept?� �What on earth are they all doing up at 3am!?? Better yet what are they doing making noises and waking ME up at 3am!?� He sat for a few minutes contemplating all the various options of just exactly what his friends and brothers were doing so early in the morning, until he finally came to a conclusion�
�I probably don�t want to know�� He said to himself as he flopped back down onto his bed, pulling up his covers and closing his eyes again to go to sleep. Almost instantly after he was settled he heard the noises for the forth time that night� well morning actually� Groaning to himself he decided that the only way he was going to be able to go back to sleep, is if he went downstairs to do three things� 1) Find out what the hell is going on, 2) Make sure everything and everyone is okay, and 3) Tell them to shut the hell up, and that there are other people trying to sleep! But he would use the last one only in the event that everyone was ok. Mumbling to himself he rolled out of bed stopping to put socks on his bare feet, and then headed downstairs.
When he reached the downstairs floor he was surprise to find that all the lights were off leaving the house in the pitch dark, and obviously there were no signs of his friends. He was sure he had heard the noises coming from downstairs and there was the fact that JC wasn�t in his bed. If he wasn�t there where would he be?� His and JC�s room was the only room in the house that had two beds� He started moving along the wall trying to find the light switch. He knew was there somewhere he just had to remember exactly where it was� He moved slowly through the house, afraid of tripping over something, but at this moment he was more afraid of the fact that the house was pitch dark and something might jump out at him at any second�
�Guys?� nothing
�Guys?� still nothing �This isn�t funny you guys. I heard you down here� I know you are here somewhere, so you mind as well come on out from hiding. Let�s get this session of �Scare the Crap out of Justin� over with�� still
�JC?� pause
�Lance?� pause
�Chris?� pause
�Joey?� pause
He stopped dead in his tracks trying to hear any sort of noise that would tell him where his friends were hiding. He was rewarded a few moments later when he heard a very suddle almost unnoticeable mumbling like noise from somewhere in front of him. Even his own breathing was almost enough to block it out. �Guys is that you?� Again he heard the mumbling like noise, but this time it was louder� like more than one person was making it now� �Hold on, I think I am almost at the light.� As if one cue the light switch appeared under his hand, and he switched it on.
Being so accustom to the blackness when he turned on the light he was blinded momentarily by it. After blinking a few times things finally came into focus, he couldn�t help but gasped at the sight in front of him.
JC, Lance, Chris and Joey were sitting in the middle of the living room in front of him; on what appeared to be the dining room chairs� the only problem is that they also happened to be tied to them. Their arms were tied behind them at their wrist with what appeared to be rope. Their ankles were also tied together with rope and then also tied to the bar under the chair that runs from the leg on one side to the leg on the other. Finally they had a couple pieces of duct tape covering their mouths to stifle any attempt at speaking. Which would explain the mumbling he heard moments earlier.
At first Justin was just shocked and stood perfectly still taking in the sight before him, but after a few seconds he snapped out of his daze and sprung into action, quickly making his way over the his nearest friend, which happened to be Lance.
�Oh my God! What happened to you guys!?� He asked while pulling away the tape covering Lance�s mouth as gently as possible.
�Some guys broke into the house� Listen to me Justin they are still here, get out while you still can, go get help. Leave right now before they come back.� Lance said
�What?! No� I can�t leave you guys here. I�ll untie you guys then we will all go together�� he said reaching for the rope surrounding Lance�s wrists�
�No Justin� there isn�t time, they could be back any second. Go get help, we will be fine��
�But��
�No. Go. Just go Justin� now��
Looking into Lance�s eyes Justin finally nodded his agreement. He took one last look at his friends and stood up to leave. Turning around however he came face to face with a few of the men.
�Uh� Hi� I was just leaving� so I will get out of your way�� he said inching slowly to the door� but all of the sudden he was surrounded by men. They appeared as if they came out of thin air.
�Um� bye!� with that he made a mad dash towards the front door only to be grabbed by the arms by a couple of the men. He was dragged back kicking and screaming by them while another one brought another one of the dining room chairs into the living room.
�Leave him alone! Let him go!� Lance managed to shout out before one of the men stepped forward producing another piece of duct tape, covering his mouth again.
Justin was shoved into the new chair with such force that both him and the chair fell over. But the men didn�t miss a beat and quickly grabbed him again and set the chair upright forcing him to sit on it and yanking his arms behind his back to tie them, while another man tied his ankles together. However for some odd reason they didn�t cover his mouth with duct tape like the others.
�What do you want!? Why are you doing this?!� Justin yelled angrily at the men, but they simply just smiled evilly at him. Four of them stepped forward and placed themselves next his friends, withdrawing their guns and placing them to the temples of JC, Lance, Chris, and Joey.
�No! You don�t need to do that! Just tell me what you want!� Justin yelled frantic at them, but was no use he watched them start to pull the triggers on their guns, as 4 shots rang out�.
�NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!� Justin shot up cover in sweat and breathing harshly. He calmed momentarily after realizing it was just a nightmare... that is until he looked around. He was in the living room floor, with the rest of the guys looking very concerned, simply staring at him� He must have fallen asleep with his head on JC�s lap. But the calmness disappeared when he heard a deep and very angry voice from across the room yell at them. �WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OVER THERE!!!!! I TOLD YOU BOYS TO BE QUIET!!!� Justin looked over and saw six huge and very angry looking men looking at him and the other guys, as one of them started to approach them all he could do was stare in fear�
