From Beyond The Grave

"Brian? Brian ?" Aj ran after Brian but didn�t see anyone. She heard a car, but their jeep was in the garage. She sadly closed the door, not noticing the blood on the driveway. He doesn�t love me anymore�.she thought miserably

Howard Dorough(AKA Howie D) sat in the dark basement waiting for some company, any company. He was going to go to sleep when the door opened. He tried to stand up, but his ankle was killing him. Instead, he sat there, looking at the new victim who had just been brought in. Whoever it was, they had a pillowcase covering his/her head. Howie lifted it off and gasped. He had never seen so much blood. Brian�s lip was cut and blood oozed out of his nose. Howie shook him.
"Brian, Brian man wake up." He groaned.
"D?"
"Yah."
"Where are we?"
"No clue."
"Damn. " He remembered what happened and sighed. "Poor Aj."
"What?"
"I- god. I hit her."
"What?!"
"Nothing." Howie could tell that Brian wasn�t in a chatty mood and suddenly, he got an idea.
"Brian?"
"What?"
"You have your cell phone?"
"Yah. Why?"
"CALL Aj!!"
" I-I just can�t. Anyways, I was thinking more along the lines of 911�"
"Can 911 turn those guys into beanie babies??"
"You have a point D�" He reached into his pocket and dialed his home number. Please be home. Please be home. He thought. Aj picked up the phone on the third ring.
"Hello?" She yawned.
"Aj? It�s me."
"Brian? Are you all right? Where are you?? I�ve been worried sick!!"
"Are you okay ?"
"Yes. Just worried about you."
"That�s good� uhm�Aj?"
"Yah?"
"Howie and me� we�ve been abducted."
"Mulder and Scully abducted or kidnapped?"
"Kidnapped. We need your help."
"Why didn�t you call 911??"Brian shot a look at Howie. "You wanted my powers. Didn�t you? Brian. You�re gone for two days then only call me for the powers I happen to have."
"It was all Howie's idea. Please Aj."
"You're lucky you're so cute...hang on. I'll be right there."
Brian heard a snap, and then Aj continued.
"Okay. I'm outside the house. Where are you?"
"We're in the basement. Crap. One of them is coming down..." He hid the phone behind Howie.
"Brian??? Are you there?"
Before she could scream, a figure in a "Father Death" mask clamped a hand over her mouth and dragged her inside the house. She writhed in his grasp. The kidnapper who was in the basement(#1) found the phone and took it. #2, who had Aj called out to his partner. "Hey, we got another hostage.. a girl."
"Aj run!" Both Brian and howie yelled.
"Throw her down here." Aj heard a metallic clang and a muffled groan. #2 pushed her down the stairs. The last thing Brian saw before everything went black was his lady love falling down the long staircase like a rag doll.

Once again, thanx to my friend X for the help on this chapter...
