As they ran across the stage no one could tell what was going on in their minds.
He’s here, and he’s watching us he knows…..EVERYTHING.
The boys couldn’t deny their fears. The bright light in front of them made it impossible for them to see beyond the first row.What if s/he was in the first row, someone they could even see?
Kevin was deep in thought. He accidentally bumped into Brian almost knocking him off balance. He gave Brain an apologic smile and continued.
Every few minutes, with out intention, one of the boys would look up at the lights…just to check , but of course they couldn’t see anything.
Suddenly Howie’s eyes caught a red light and before he could gather his thoughts together, a gun was fired. It hit the stage right in front of him. He jumped back in shock.
The gun was fired again, this time the BSB threw themselves on to the ground as the lights above them were turned off.
The sound of screams and the occasional gun fire filled the stadium. Crawling the boys pulled themselves back stage, only to find that all their body guards had run into the crowds in the hope of finding the gun man.
“What the fuck was that?” Howie screamed as soon as he could stand.
“We’ll have to step up security.” Kevin stated. He seemed very pale and his tone was unusually demanding.
Nick and Aj looked at him horrified by the idea. “What are you saying—” Nick began
“Nick listen.” Kevin interrupted him, “At least try to understand, I don’t like the idea any more than the rest of you’ds, but it’s necessary,"He said with a sign,
“I’m going to take a shower.”Aj muttered and took of before anyone could stop him.
“Why us?” Howie muttered irritated, the memory of the bullet, which had been fired at his feet made him shutter.
“So it’s decided, even more security, I wonder how were gonna explain it at the next press conference.” Brian blew sarcastically.
“I dunno. How exactly do you explain to the world that some guy is trying to kill you?” Kevin muttered as they began walking towards their dressing room. All around them people were running and a making a fuss they didn’t want to be in the way….
Rob Thomas the boys manager suddenly popped up in front of them. “Are you guys ok?” He stammered.
“yes well were all alive if that’s what you mean…”
“Oh my god where is your other 1/5 th ? There is only four of you here!” Thomas interrupted Howie hysterically.
”Calm down.” Kevin almost ordered him in his new demanding tone. Nick and Brian exchanged worried glances.
“Calm down? Are you crazy how the bloody hell am I supposed to calm down?” Thomas yelled at them.
“Aj’s gone to take a shower.” Brian informed him.
“Oh” Thomas signed calmly,(yeah right!)
Nick frowned, “Come on guys I wanna get changed and be outa here.
“Well you're free to go.” Brian said.
“If I wanted to go by my self I would have don’t you think?” Nick retorted.
Kevin, Howie and Brian burst out laughing, regardless of the dangerous situation they were in.
Nick’s expression stayed solid. “Since when has little Nicky been afraid to go to the dressing room by himself?” Howie mocked.
“I wouldn’t go anywhere by my self if I were you’ds.” Thomas snapped at them. He began walking away, “Get changed quickly, it’s not safe here.”
He froze as he pushed the glass door aside. His heart paced abnormally fast threatening to burst through his chest. He felt a wave of nausea swept over him and he felt the contents of his stomach rising. He forced his frozen legs to carry him over to the toilet. He threw up until there was nothing left in his stomach, and even then he found it hard t move away.
What had he seen? He couldn’t clearly remember the horrifying site. Pulling his towel around him he walked up towards the abhorrent scene. He had to fight to stop himself from running the other way.
There in the shower leaning against the wall, dripping blood, was a savagely mutilated body. The face had been ripped off and now there was nothing left but red flesh and bones showing trough in some parts. The flesh had been ripped off the arms, the exposed bones turned pink from the blood. The stomach had been ripped open and from his science lessons Aj could tell that things were missing, he could also see some of the organisms were missing, some of them he saw on the floor covering the drain and causing blood to build up. Some ragged pieces of clothing were still on the mutilated figure.
Aj had had enough. He turned away and ran out, just as the others were about to come into the change room.
“What’s—”
“There’s a fucking body in there!” Aj yelled uncontrollably.
“Aj this is no time to bullshit” Kevin began
“I’m not bloody bull shitting, go in there and see for your self!” He yelled again.
“ok I’ll go…” Nick volunteered and walked in to the shower.
“Holly—Fucking hell!” Moments later his cries were heard. Suddenly Kevin's expression changed and he ran in, bumping into Nick who was coming out.
“Don’t go in there,” Nick said , his voice dry and lacking emotions, “Just call the police.”
“we have all the necessary information on tape— But…um next time, we’d like him back, Alive?” He mocked.
73 didn’t complain, she couldn’t care less, if she had to , she would kill.
“Now go home, but be here by 9.00am tomorrow, I’ll have an assignment waiting for you’ds. Dismissed.” He shook his hand and the two girls disappeared.
”You did well today.” 26 said flatly, she didn’t want to flatter 73 too much.
“Thanks, weren’t too bad your self.” 73 replied, an awkward silence followed.
They both stopped when they heard giggling and laughter, moments later a little boy, about 5, turned the corner followed by a girl of the same age.
”What are you doing?”26 roared standing in front of them.
They froze and stood in front of her with their hands behind them and their feet together.
“Explain yourselves.” 73 demanded coldly, “Why are you running around?”
“We were just playing.” Explained the little girl in an innocent tone, which made 73 sick.
“ID’s” 26 ordered.
“C block 82”
“C block 86”
“You will be reported for your unprofessional behavior, now go.”
They both saluted 26 and 73.
“Juveniles” 26 muttered.
”In Rome we would have gotten 39 hours for that.” 73 explained.
“They are getting off too easily. C blockers running around playing? What is the UNSI coming to?”
”Damn it!” Kevin muttered, then stuck his foot out in front of the dancing Nick and tripped him
Everyone laughed as Nick hit the ground with a heavy thud.
“I’ll show you!” Nick shot, then getting up quickly dived for Kevin, who expertly moved out of the way leaving Nick to land on an unexpecting Brian.
It only took moments for the room to look like a disaster site, with wails of laughter and pain cutting trough the air.
“What the hell are you’ds doing in here?” Thomas yelled at them. He had silently slipped into the room with out being noticed.
“Oh…hi Thomas, we were just …playing?” Brian explained, brushing feathers out of his hair.
“Playing? Oh really?” Thomas retorted angrily, “And you didn’t even notice me enter the room!I could have just as easily pulled out a gun and killed you’ds!” He yelled at them
They all looked slightly a shamed for a moment.
Seeing that he had made his point he continued. “Your 6 new body guards are here, now go meet them.
