"Maybe he doesn't know what to do with it!" another one snickered, and shoved Nick back down on the bed. Nick landed close to Aileen and moved quickly away. For the first time, he noticed her attire and the fact that she was tied to the bed. He quickly turned his head and looked blankly at Kevin across the room. The man still had the gun pressed firmly into Kevins neck.

"What's wrong with me?" Nick asked himself. "Kevin wouldn't just sit here if he was in my shoes. What can I do?" The men in the room were laughing, a real riot.

"C'mon pretty boy, let's get this show going!" Nick turned his head to the doorway as Dean entered. "What's going on? Is our young friend giving us a problem?" He asked. He walked over to Nick and grabbed him by the shoulders. "What's wrong here, you know what's expected of you, don't you?"

Nick hung his head and replied softly, "I can't."

Dean yanked Nicks head up by his blond hair. "Pardon? Look at me and tell me what you can't do!" he yelled.

Nick looked up defiantly, the first sign of life he had shown since this nightmare began. "I won't have sex with my best friends girlfriend!" he exclaimed stubbornly.

All of a sudden, Dean pulled a gun out of his waistband and pointed it right between Nicks eyes. "You want to die being a noble lad then? You don't mean a thing to me, mister. They'll still pay for the other four. Probably faster too, when they see your dead body with it's head blown off!" Nick froze with fear.

Deans next move took everyone by surprise. He turned the gun away from Nick and aimed it at Kevin. The bullet tore thought Kevins shoulder and he grunted in surprise and pain. "You will!" Dean roared "Or this next bullet is yours!"

As the blood quickly seeped through his shirt, Kevin struggled to regain conciousness. "Nick, please don't hurt her!" he managed to say before he passed out.

Aileen screamed, "No!" in disbelief and started crying out Kevins name. Nick, zombie-like, slowly started to remove his shirt and lay down on the bed next to Aileen. She turned her head to him, "Nick, please, don't worry about me. Just do what these freaks want and get it over with."

"'Leen, I can't! I can't do this to you!" he whispered to her.

"Nick, you saw what they just did to Kevin. I don't want to see you hurt or anyone else hurt. Please be strong for me, I'm about to fall apart. Just do it and be done with it." She closed her eyes and waited. Nick removed his jeans and lay next to her again. He noticed one of the men had moved to the video camera and was waiting to begin filming.

"This is sick." Nick thought. To Aileen, he said, "are you sure about this?"

Aileen sighed and looked into his blue eyes. "There's no way out Nick, just do it." She really didn't give a damn at this point what happened to her. Kevin, her dear sweet, strong Kevin, was just across the room from her, seriously injured, his life leaking out more by the second and she couldn't do a damn thing for him. He might even be dead for all she knew. Let them do whatever they wanted, she could care less.
