After about 10 minutes everyone was at the hotel conducting searches and other things as Justin sat on the edge of her bed. "This is all my fault." Tears came to his eyes as he moved her suit case aside and noticed a pieces of glass and ripped up paper underneath it. He picked up the pieces and realized that it was a broken picture frame. He picked up the paper, turned it over, and recognized it immediately. It was the picture of Mackenzie and himself before the prom. Tears were now blurring his vision and he quickly rubbed them away. He turned the paper back over and saw the letter 'WA' written on the back. He looked at the backs of some of the other pieces and saw letters like 'I', 'SH' and 'OU'.
"Justin?" Jc said as he entered the room, "How are you doing?"
"Jc, go get me some tape! Go!"
"What?" JC asked
"Just go! Hurry!" Justin called after him
Justin searched through the room collecting the pieces of picture that were scattered around. As soon as he saw the letters the fear of something he knew to well over came him. JC came back with tape a few minutes later with Joey and Chris by his side. "What do you want with it?" Joey asked as Justin had his head underneath the bed.
"Take these and tape them together." Justin said as he handed them the pieces.
Chris quickly scanned the pieces and recognized them, "Ok, J." Chris said feeling bad for Justin. "Mackenzie must have ripped this up before leaving." he said to JC and Joey, "Poor guy."
Justin overheard them talking and immediately stood up. "No guys...turn them over." they all saw the letters on the back, "Guys, that�s the same handwriting in the letters that Mackenzie had been getting."
"What do you mean?" Joey asked
"I mean that Mackenzie didn't run away, she was taken and so help me God when I find out who."
JC got Nick and the police officer and told them what was going on. Soon enough everyone was searching for the pieces of the picture. About a half hour later there was a huge piece in the middle missing. All they could make out was "I WA....O SHE'S MINE NOW....I....LD HER YOU.....URT HER. IT'S YOUR FAU....BERSHIT."
"Where the hell is that piece!" Chris yelled getting aggravated
Justin stared at the picture trying to fill in the blanks. "Timbershit." he said to himself.
"Excuse me?" Chris said
"It says 'Timbershit'...right there...I'm trying to think...JEFF!" Justin said as he got up and stormed out of the room.
"What are you talking about?" Nick asked
"Jeff...he called me Timbershit a couple of times...I'm so stupid why didn't I think of this before...he's been after Mackenzie for so long..." Justin voice trailed off as the police officers took action.
"But I just saw Jeff...not too long ago...he was the one who told me he saw her with Sam...we have to find Sam!!! How could she...they...they couldn't have gone far." Jenna cried
"Find them both!" Nick said as he walked away.
Justin sank back onto the floor next to the window and watched the rain fall. "This is all my fault." he said allowed to himself.

"It's amazing how the weather often resembles our feelings." Jenna said as she sat down beside him.
"I don't know what to do, Jenn. I'm sitting here watching the ran while she is out there...with...with God knows who and I can't do anything to help her. I need to know where she is."
"It's going to be ok, Justin. We'll find her. She's a strong girl, she won't let anything happen to her." Jenna said as she put her arm around him.
"I love her, Jenna....this is all my fault."
"No it's not honey..." Jenna said as a commotion was made outside of the room
"What's going on?" Justin said as he and Jenna walked over to the door.
"It's Jeff." Lance said, "They found him down stairs. He doesn't know what's going on, Justin. He has no idea." Just then Jeff walked over.
"Justin...man...I don't know what to say, I know how much you love her, but I have feelings for her too, I would never hurt her. I wouldn't you. You have to believe me." Jeff said Justin looked him in the eyes and he didn't know what to say. He still didn't trust Jeff and something was telling him that this wasn't right.
"...I saw her with Sam and she did look really tight. I don't know. Mackenzie looked nervous. WHY didn't I ask them where they were going...DAMN IT." Jeff yelled as he punch the wall for effect. "I'm sorry guys...I have to go before I...I do something I'll regret. Call me if any thing happens....Shit, I should have stopped them....all my fault." Jeff continued before walking down the hall and out of site.
"He did seem generally sorry, J." JC said
"Yeah, I guess so...damnit guys where is she!" Justin said his frustration so deep that he too punched the wall. "Guys, I can't perform like this...with out her...I know that-"
"Justin, don't worry about the tour...we cancelled tonight�s show and tomorrow's." JC said
Nick walked up to the group with a serious expression on his face, "Guys...all of Sam's things are gone, he clothes, her car, even her reservation at this hotel has been cancelled. Now, I'm not trying to jump to conclusions but she is on contract with Jive and Johnny...she can't just leave and she knows that."
"What does that mean?" Joey asked as he slid his hands in his pocket
Nick sighed as he looked at his employers, his brothers. Never before had he seen the looks on their faces as they waited for devastating news. Looks that he hoped he would never see again, "It means that the police are suspecting Sam. They believe that she...that she took Mackenzie somewhere with her...I need you guys to tell me if you think of anywhere Sam would take Mackenzie...ANYWHERE."
"Nick...there's something you're not telling us, I'm not stupid." Justin said blankly.
"J, guys, they found an iron underneath a towel in her closet...both of the items had small traces of...of blood on it. Justin, now don't freak out...it could be some one else�s blood...it could even be paint..."
"WHAT!" Justin screamed, "This can't be happening...." Justin's world was spinning around him, he felt as though some one had slashed his chest open and ripped out his heart. Not only was the love of his life missing but there was a strong possibility that she was hurt. Justin was going through a whirlwind of thoughts. His mind drifted to the day when she was in the hospital and a picture of her there again. His thoughts were getting cloudy and his head was starting the throb.
"Justin? J? I think you should all try to get some rest." Nick said as he lead them down the hall.
"You expect me to sleep, now?" Justin said, but he had no choice. Nick had made it clear to him that guards were standing out side his doors with the strict orders to keep him in the room. After showering and watching TV for about two hours Justin tried to fall asleep. He laid in his bed staring up at the ceiling as tears filled his eyes. The only thing left for him was to sleep. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. But it was not a peaceful sleep, Justin dreamt that he and Mackenzie were in some sort of house, a house on a beach. The sun was shining and the day was going well. Mackenzie was showing Justin around the house with a sense of sorrow but it was beautiful all the same. Justin knew he had never been in the house before but something was telling him that he should know where he was. Everything was fine until Sam came inside. Justin tried to get closer to Mackenzie to block Sam from her but he was stuck in the position. He tried screaming her name but nothing was working. Sam quickly shoved Mackenzie and Justin watched as Sam yelled insulting things about Mackenzie's mom. "Shut up!" Justin tried to yell but his voice only came out as a whisper. "Justin, I love you. You know where I am. Think! " Mackenzie kept yelling over and over.
Justin woke up suddenly breaking out in a sweat. "Her Mom's house!"
