Brian’s POV:
“Did you get a trace on that message?” Shadz asked Jimmy. “Prepaid phone, no way to trace it.” Jimmy said. “Can you trace were the video call came from?” Shadz asked. I could hear some desperation in his voice. “I’m working on it, but they sent the signal bouncing all over the place. It’s going to take some time.” Jimmy said not once looking up from his computers. “How much time?” I asked. “I’m not sure. Whoever does their tech shit is almost as good as me,” Jimmy said with a pause, “Almost.” he finished a smirk coming across his face. “Man fuck this shit. Get Kirk up on that screen, he’ll take care of this.” Jacoby said getting frustrated. “Its not going to do any good if we don’t know where they are.” Shadz told him. “He still needs to know.” Jacoby said. Shadz nodded, and told Jimmy to call him.
“Evening Gentlemen,” James greeted, “Judging from the looks on your faces, you have a problem.” he said tilting his head to the side. “We do. Is Kirk around?” Shadz asked. “Hang on a second.” he said getting up from his seat. Kirk knows about Dave and who he is. Things had to be explained when we informed them of the alliance with Slipknot. I’m sure he’s not going to happy about this. Kirk entered frame, and almost immediately caught on to what was going on. “He got her didn’t he?” he asked anger contorting his face. Shadz nodded. “He wants his money, but he’s not going to do an exchange for 72 hours.” he explained. “Do you have the money?” James asked getting back in frame. “Yes.” Shadz answered. “Do you know where they are?” Kirk asked pinching the bridge of his nose. You could tell he was trying hard to keep his cool. “No, but Jimmy’s working on tracing the video call he made to us earlier.” Shadz told him. “How long is that going to take?” James asked. “I don’t know, but I should have it in less than 72 hours.” Jimmy said still working on the trace. “I’ll be there soon.” Kirk said getting up and leaving frame. “We’ll be there soon.” James said before ending the call.
I ran my fingers through my hair, and stormed out of Jimmy’s computer room. I’m going to strangle the life out of this fucker in the infirmary. I know he had something to do with it. I walked in seeing that he was awake and struggling against his restrains, spewing obsenities at Johnny. I pulled my gun out, and hastly made my way to him. “Where the fuck did they take her?” I asked through clinched teeth as I shoved the barrle of my gun down his throat. “I know you had something to do with it.” I hissed pushing my gun down till my knuckles touched his lips, and he started to choke. “Gates,” Johnny said putting a hand on my shoulder, “he can’t answer you with your gun down his throat.” he said trying to pull it out. I shrugged him off, and yanked my gun out. He coughed, and spit in my face earning him a broken nose from my gun. “Fuck you. I’m not telling you shit.” he spat. “Oh you’re going to talk.” I heard Jacoby come into the room.
I watched Jeff’s eyes go wide when he seen Jacoby stroll to him. “What’s up you piece of shit? Long time no see.” he growled. “W-what are you doing here?” Jeff stammered out visibly getting nervous. “Well since you’re not going to live much longer I’ll tell you.” Jacoby said jumping up to sit on the edge of his bed. “See, Avenged Sevenfold is one of my allies.” he said with a small smile. “Did you know that Tammy joined them?” he asked. Jeff shook his head. “No of course not. You do realize the mistake you made right?” Jacoby asked. “I had nothing to do with it.” he lied through his teeth. “I don’t believe that for a fucking second.” I told him. “Let me guess, you owed Dave money just like you did Slipknot, and sold her out to him?” Jacoby asked. He didn’t say anything, but the deer caught in headlights look gave it all away. “Yea, that’s what I thought.” Jacoby said as he tried to make him explode with his mind. I swear that’s what it looked like with the way he was looking at him.
“Speaking of Slipknot,” Corey’s voice entered the room, “Did you tell him about Number 4?” he asked walking in with his mask on. Fear and confusion washed over Jeff’s face. “What’s the matter there Jeff?” I asked patting the side of his face, “you look a little confused.” I finished. “What’s he doing here?” he asked. Corey chuckled, and pulled his mask off. “Why don’t I let 4 explain that when he gets here.” Corey said to him. He must have called Jim. “You know who else is coming?” Jacoby cheerfully asked him. He nervously shook his head. “Kirk is flying out as we speak. We’re going to have ourselves a good old fashioned reunion.” Jacoby told him jumping off the bed. “Can’t wait.” he said excited. “Should probably give Chester a buzz. I’m sure he would love to see you again.” Jacoby said getting close to his face.
I looked at Johnny who was watching us with amusement. “I take it his injuries aren’t severe?” I asked him. “Nah, he’s got a concussion, but he’ll live,” he paused and smirked, “For now.” I glared down at the quivering man strapped to the bed. “Let’s get him sedated, and locked up in the basement,” I smiled wickedly at him, “That’s where all the fun stuff is.”
I seen Shadz walk in, and for the first time noticed the Berrys sitting on the couch next to the door, guilt ever so present on their faces. I was so focused on Jeff I didn’t even see them. “You two,” Shadz said looking at the twins, “Why the hell would you let her go with him alone?” he asked crossing his arms over his chest. “She told us to give them a minute.” JB answered. “We didn’t think he was working for Disturbed.” Matt confessed. “That’s not a good enough excuse,” Shadz snapped, “I specifically said no one is to go anywhere by themselves. You should have stayed with her.” he said. The guilt only got thicker across their faces. “Why?” Johnny asked interrupting his rant, “So Tammy could be gone, and they could be dead?” he asked cocking a brow. “You know that’s what would have happened if they had stayed with her. Then we would have been down 3 members. Instead now we’re looking for one.” Johnny continued justifying their actions. Shadz let out an aggravated growl. He knew Johnny was right. I knew he was right. It’s the only reason I haven’t went off on them yet. I don’t like the fact that she’s in Dave’s clutches, but making them feel guilty about it wasn’t going to get her back here.

Tammy’ POV:
I should have fucking known better. I can’t believe I was stupid enough to actually think he was being honest with me. I hope the guys got to him before he woke up. He won’t get away with it this time. Even if I don’t make it.
Dave ended the video call, and sat a chair down, backwards in front of me. He straddled the seat, and folded his arms over the back. I can’t wait till he takes this gag off, and I can wipe that stupid smile off his face. “You know I never forgot about you.” he said reminiscently. “You’ll be pleased to know that I’ve developed my techniques since that first time.” he said almost happily. I tried to speak against my gag, but he held up a finger silencing me. He reached over, and pulled my gag down so it rested under my chin. “What was that?” he asked tilting his head to the side. “You won’t break me again.” I said with death in my eyes. He laughed at me along with the others who were standing behind me. “It’s only a matter of time Angel.” he said leaning in close over his chair, “You’ll be begging me to kill you again.” he hissed. “Not this time bitch.” I hissed back just before spitting in his face. He huffed and wiped the spit out of his eye before glaring at me. “I’ve been watching you for the past few weeks. I didn’t know you were musically talented.” he said with an evil smile. Did he come see me play? Has he been right under our noses this whole time? “You’re right handed correct?” he asked. I didn’t answer him. He just smiled, and ran his fingers down my left hand. “Which means this is your fret hand.” he said grabbing my first finger, and snapping it to a 90 degree angle. I squeezed my eyes shut, and bit hard on my lip as I tried to suppress the pain.
I took a few deep breaths, and opened my eyes to meet the slightly disappointed look on Dave’s face. I couldn’t help it, I started laughing at him. “You’re going to have to do better than that you fucking cock sucker.” I said though my laughter. He jolted from his chair, and kicked it away. “I haven‘t even begun yet.” he seethed. “Then what are you waiting for you little bitch. Lets get this shit started.” I said glaring at him. “I can’t say I like the mouth you’ve developed.” he said shaking his head slightly. “I haven’t even begun yet.” I said mocking his previous statement. Just ask Slipknot, I thought smirking to myself.

Notes

Hope the guys find her soon...
