Chapter 6

"Oh my god! Get down!" Kevin shouted, jumping on Michelle, making her fall off the chair. Kevin winced as a bullet, grazed his ear. Sounds of guns were being fired all around the room but couldn't sound out the screams. Fear pumped all of their hearts as it continued. When suddenly, it stopped. Confused, people started to get up when all of a sudden, a sound burst through the room. "Every mother fucker in here better stay down!" A few screams filled the room. "If everyone who is STILL alive wants to survive, they will shut up, and listen!" Kevin could see deep fear in Michelle's hazel eyes. He sat up on the floor, pulling her with him, pressing her against his strong chest. But not even that stopped the shaking she was producing from her body. The male voice continued. "Now if anyone moves a muscle, he or she will die." Suddenly a wretched scream let out, as if a woman being tortured. "Now if everyone wants to see Ms. Daniels live, all of you will be quiet." The man said. As of what Kevin could make out, he saw a tall, curly-blonde haired male holding up a crooked Katie. His eyes widened, seeing blood rush out from her knee. The way he was holding her by the hair, she seemed to be in a great deal of pain. He heard Michelle whimper, and could feel her sweat pour into his own. And the only thing Kevin could do was pray.

"Let her go!" Brian screamed in his head, almost shouting it out. But he bit his tounge not wanting to test the man. His Katie was wincing in pain as the curly-blonde haired guy yanked her head back. "Now, I assume all of you are wondering why this is happening? Your hearts are pounding, sweat is starting to break, but I really only want one thing. Money. Yes, Money. So, I'm holding half of the most famous people in the world captive, and the other half who are basically the richest people in the world hostage also. See, I'm also not letting ANY of you go, until I recieve 2, 000, 000 dollars in cash from each of you. Gasps erupted around the room from that. The blonde man chuckled. "Oh come now, thats not much for all of you anyway. Now lets see...what do I have here?" The man said, using his free hand to reach into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. "Oh wow! Here's a list of all your names. Now, how did that get there?" The man faked astonishment. A chrous of men began walking around them, taking cell-phones, and pagers away. "Oh yes, these kind men are also going to be taking anything that might help you escape. You know, just in case. Because if we do have a problem, someone will have a bullet up their ass, ya hear?" Whimpers and tiny cries made their way around the room. No one was prepared for what happened next...

"What the fuck is going on out there?!??" David screamed pounding on the ballroom doors. People in the ballroom were very confused. Most people had gone to the ceremony, so there were only about twenty-five people in the huge ballroom. "Geezus, what the hell is up?" J.C. wondered. They had all been running late to the ceremony, and as they were about to leave, several gunshots rang out. Screams could be heard, but the doors had slammed shut right in front of them, and didn't budge. All that could be heard were a bunch of faint screams. "Melony and Nick are out there! What is going on??!" David shouted. What was going on?

Melony hid under the table, searching for a way out. The others had already been ushered over to a wall, and as Melony could see under the clothed table, the gunmen were taking everyones source of escape. Oh god. Their gonna kill us all. She searched frantically for Nick, but only spotted A.J., Brian and Howie. All huddled up together in a corner. Where the hell is Nick? Melony wondered. Pattering of heavy black boots passing her table told her she had to get out fast. If they caught her, who knows what would happen. With a deep breath, she than bolted to the empty talbe beside her, crawling like some kind of infant. Looking both ways to make sure the coast was clear. Her dress constantly getting caught on her heels. "God dammit! Where are you Nick?!" Melony whispered loudly, having probably known he was one of the ones being held against a wall, gun pointed to his chest. It was to her surprise when she had made it safely to the end of the room. Her knees ached at the feel of the wooden floor that had rubbed against them. As she was hidden under the last table, she attempted to look for a way out. Her eyes lit up when she saw the doors to the ballroom unguarded, only a broom stuffed through the holes, that locked it. She did not know if she could make it without anyone seeing her. Well there is only one way to find out, isn't there?
