Chapter 9
Julia looked at the four men looking down at her. Then, she looked at the unconscious body of "Creature" who was being carried. Her eyes narrowed at them. "Well, well, well...What do we have here?"
"Am I right in assuming that you're Julia?" JC wondered.
She stepped fully into the attic and closed the door. "You'd be correct." She looked at each of them, then smiled. "If I can get two million dollars for ONE member of Nsync, think how much I'll be able to get for the whole GROUP!"
"You ain't getting anything!" JC said. He stepped forward and was about to grab her arm when she did something none of them expected.
"Up against that wall, gentlemen!" Julia said as she held a gun to JC's stomach.

April once again pulled up infront of the white house and saw the station wagon parked in the driveway. Has she gone into the attic? Does she know about them? she asked herself. PLEASE be safe!
Hoping that they were waiting for her somewhere outside, she slowly climbed out of her car. "Guys?" she whispered. No response. "JC?" Nothing "Lance?...Chris?...JOEY!?!" There was still no answer.
Slowly letting out her breath, April walked up to the porch and turned the doorknob. "Guys?" she whispered. No answer. Tip-toeing, she made her way to the closet and began to open it.

The S, Y, N, and C of Nsync sat with their hands tied against the back wall. They were staring at their youngest member, who lay unconscious on the floor in front of them. "He needs to get to a doctor!" Lance exclaimed.
Julia stood a few feet away from them, gun in hand. "You think I care if he dies?!?"
"Julia-" JC began.
"Not another word out of your mouths!" Julia ordered, holding the gun to his head.
Gulping, JC stared over at the attic door, trying to decide whether or not it would be close enough to escape out of. His eye caught sight of something and his eyes brightened.
"What's so funny Chasez!?!" Julia demanded.
"Nothing!" JC lied. He secretly nudged Lance and Lance got that bright look in his eyes too.
"Bass, would YOU care to tell me what's going on?" Julia wondered.
"Like JC said. It's nothing!"

April put a finger to her lips as she quietly climbed into the attic and shut the door. "One of you two tell me what's going on, or neither of you will be able to."
"Come on, Julia. You expect us to believe that you're actually going to use that thing?" Chris asked.
"Would you like to be the first to find out?" She cocked the gun and aimed it at Chris's head. His eyes widened and his face filled with fear.
"N-N-Not really!" Chris stuttered as he gulped.
"Too late! You're already got the pleasure of going first!" Chris closed his eyes as he heard the sound of the gun go off.
