Just take this story as entertainment. Thank you Brian and I raced out of the car dealership while I phoned the police. I explained what happened and where we were as we headed back to the house to check on AJ and Tyler. Meanwhile, across the street, Theresa and Casey left the restaurant. "I don't understand," Theresa mumbled to herself, "I thought we were the only one's who wanted to eliminate the Backstreet Boys. But who else." Theresa dragged Casey to the car. "Where are we going," Casey asked. "We are going to visit Ryan Phillippe!" Howie and Nick looked shocked as Ryan took off the mask. "You just can't leave us alone, huh," Nick yelled. "What the hell is this," Howie also yelled. "Wait," Ryan said, " Let me explain. I am not here to hurt either of you. I just want to help you." "From Theresa," Nick looked at him, "that's the biggest crock of shit you've ever whispered to me. And there has been a lot." "Maybe so," Ryan looked at Nick, "but all has changed now. Let me tell you the truth about what happened between you, Tyler, Kevin, and Theresa." Nick looked at Howie who was scared. "No," Howie said as he broke down crying, "I killed Kevin, ok?" Nick looked shocked. He walked up to Howie and hugged him. "No, Howard. You did not kill Kevin. Theresa did." Howie looked at Ryan's face in horror. "So what do we do now," Tyler asked AJ. AJ turned back to him. "This is where I need your help, Ty. Are you ready for this?" "What am I doing?" "I'll explain in the car." AJ and Tyler hopped into the car. They drove off a few minutes before Brian and I pulled up into the front of the houses. "Ok, Bri. You check AJ's house and I'll check Nick's." I ran up and knocked on the door. I rang the doorbell franticly and no one answered. Then I heard Brian calling my name. As I got there, I saw the car parts of Kevin's truck laid on the lawn. "Jamie," Brian asked shyly, "what does this mean?" "I don't know," I said, "except that we have to find AJ and Tyler fast." We hopped into Brian's newly owned car and drove off. "What is going on, here," Nick questioned. "I mean why would you think you killed Kevin, Howie. It doesn't make sense." "I was blackmailing him," Ryan admitted. "Actually, Theresa was blackmailing me to blackmail Howard. She used our relationship, Nick. She was going to tell Reece everything. I couldn't let Theresa tell Reece I was bisexual and that I was dating you and her at the same time. So Theresa said that she just wanted to make you guys feel bad. I thought it was better you guys than me." "Did that mean killing Kevin," Nick yelled. "No," Ryan snapped, "It meant ruining your careers. Or that's what I thought it was. Theresa was angry with you guys and Jamie. So she told me that she wanted me and you, Nick, to go out again and get Tyler out of the loop. That almost worked, except for the over-drug. I am so sorry Nick. I didn't measure the syringe." "Theresa did," Howie whispered. "Yes," Ryan continued. "Theresa orchestrated everything knowing I wouldn't do it if it meant killing you. The Kevin thing was supposed to be a car accident for Tyler. I couldn't get near so Theresa told me to bribe Howie." "That's how you got the pictures. Theresa took them," Howie wised up. "Yes! She took the pictures. She found out about the new car being bought. She told me it was a gift from Nick to Tyler, but she knew it was for Kevin. When I told you, Howie, to cut the axle, she went behind you and cut it half way. She was intending on Kevin AND AJ dying." "That makes no sense," Nick questioned. "How the hell did Theresa know where they were going?" "Because I was the tour director for Mr. and Mrs. Richardson," a voice came from behind. The all turned to see Theresa. "Couldn't keep your mouth shut, huh Ryan." "How did you find me," Ryan asked her. "Where else would trash be, but a junkyard," Theresa smiled. "Well three against one. How are you gonna win, Theresa," Nick asked coyly. All the sudden Howie and Ryan were both pushed into a refrigerator by Casey. He locked it then turned to Nick. "Nicholas Gene Carter. Meet my dear friend, Casey Jacob Dunning." "Casey Dunning? Your Tyler's ex!" "And your about to be out of Tyler's life too," Theresa smiled, "For good." Brian and I drove around the whole city of Orlando. There was no word of Tyler, AJ or anyone. We drove for what seemed an eternity before we saw Tyler and AJ head out of the police station. Brian parked as we both ran out of the car to them. "Guys," I said, almost in a panic, "Where were you? Why is the remains of Kevin's car in AJ's backyard?" "Read this," AJ said as he gave me a piece of paper. "What does it say, " Brian asked. "It says," Tyler answered, "that Kevin's car was tampered with. The last known fingerprints on the car where found to be Alison Smithison. A woman who escaped a mental facility seven years ago." "Well, then we just gotta find out why the Smithison girl wanted to kill Kevin." "We don't need to," AJ said in anger. "Alison Smithison died 4 years ago. It was only later they learned that Alison and an identical twin sister who was married and divorced. The twin sister, apparently was the one who died as Alison Smithison, when they did the autopsy report." "So we just need her name," Brian asked impatiently. "We got it," Tyler smirked. "Well!" "Alison's twin sister is Theresa Ann Smithison-Porter." Brian and I gasped. "That's not the worst part," Tyler finished. "Alison was a convicted murderer. She murdered her husband and her son, who looked a lot like Nick." "That's why she hit him, "AJ continued. "Then this is not good," I yelled. "Why, what's going on," AJ asked. "Nick and Howie have been kidnapped." Tyler broke down while AJ held him. We calmed Tyler down and decided where to do next. "Wait," AJ yelled. "I know exactly where Theresa would go. When I was "dating" her, she would talk about this park in Orlando she used to take her son too. Well she never said son, but it makes sense. Let's go." AJ and Tyler hopped in one car while Brian and I took another. Ryan and Howie were pressed against each other. There breathing had to be kept to a minimum or they would die. Ryan couldn't hold himself any longer. "Howard," Ryan started, "you need to know I am sorry for what I did. I never wanted to hurt you." "But you did Ryan." "I know, but if we are going to die, you have to know this. Before I came here, I told Reece about what happened with Nick. She was mad at me, but when she finally talked, she asked why am I bringing this up now? Why was I telling her a long time after the event? I told her one thing. I told her I finally know what love feels like. For some sick, unjust reason, I have fallen in love with you. I will leave Reece, and leave everything to be with you Howard. Can you love me?" Ryan then went in to kiss Howie. Their kiss was long, passionate, and air consuming. They finished and Howie looked at Ryan for a bit. "I love you," Howie smiled. "I love you too," Ryan answered back. "I'd kiss you again, but we may die," Howie said. "It's worth it," Ryan smiled and kissed him again. Just then, the door swings open. Ryan and Howie looked puzzled, but then the walk out. AJ, Tyler, Brian and I ran into the park. We went past the playground to the side of an art center where Casey was holding Nick. Theresa walked out from behind us. "Small world, isn't it," She asked with a smile. We all turned around and looked at her. "All of us from Orlando and all." "But I thought you had family near New York," AJ stated. "I was at your parents house, remember?" "It was my parents house. They died a year ago." I looked at her, then asked, "Did you kill them, Alison?" Her smirk quickly morphed into fear. "We are on to you, Alison," Brian said as he walked up to Theresa/Alison. "We know everything. We know how you killed Kevin and how you killed everyone else in your past. Just end it." Alison started crying. Brian walked up to her. She quickly took out a gun and shot his leg. Brian, in immense pain, fell to the ground. I went to his side. "Anyone else try to pull that shit on me and I will not be afraid to kill them." AJ, Tyler, and I stayed still while Brian kept his cries silent. I ripped off my sleeve and placed it on his leg, to try to stop it from bleeding. Alison looked at Tyler. She smiled and walked up to him and AJ. "Tyler Lakeland," she smiled, have I go a surprise for you." Just as soon as she said that, Casey tapped Tyler's shoulder. "Hello, babe," Casey smiled. Tyler jumped with shock, as well as did I. Tyler tried to walk away but Casey grabbed him. I tried standing up, then Alison turned around and shot my shoulder. "Damn, I missed," she sulked, " but next time you won't be so lucky." Casey grabbed and held Tyler. He kissed Tyler as Ty tried to fight back. Theresa smiled and laughed. Then I noticed AJ wasn't there. I looked around then I spotted him heading towards Nick on the roof. Apparently, Alison saw too. She immediately followed AJ. AJ untied Nick just as Alison came up to him. "Brave AJ saves all again, huh," Alison smiles. "Let's see how strong you are?" Alison threw her gun on the ground. She punched AJ in the face. Then soon they began to fight each other. Meanwhile, Casey continued to kiss Tyler hard, then started ripping his close off. Tyler cried as Casey's hand wandered towards Tyler's crotch. I walked up to defend Tyler but Casey took my shoulder and squeezed it, sending me to tears and yells beyond imagine. Then all the sudden, I saw Casey let go of Tyler and fall. Behind Casey's fallen corpse was Nick holding a large rock. I smiled, as well as Nick. Tyler ran to hug Nick. Meanwhile, I look up to see AJ taking hard punches from Alison. Apparently, loosing Kevin made his body weaker than usual. Just then, Alison took out a knife. "Say hello to the bitch you dumped me for," Alison laughs. Just then, a single gunshot is heard. Just one. To Be Continued. Any questions and Comments, please e-mail me at CaRtOon80@aol.com or cArToOn8o@yahoo.com Thank you
