It will never be a prank.

The door opened. Their eyes widened and froze.

NATHAN'S POV

This can't be happening.

"Sam?!" Beck, Andre, and Daniel said.

"She's kidnapped?! And Spencer you didn't tell us you're rescuing Sam?!" Beck said.

"Guys, it's a long story" Amber replied.

"Then if that's so, let's get out of here!"

"Easy for you to say..." The man said.

8 men revealed their guns and pointed at them.

"Crap..." I said.

"Uh... What are we gonna do? They have guns..." Beck asked

"Die??" Daniel replied.

"So, for 3 months, Sam was here all the time with these men?!" Andre said.

"Andre, you're wrong... Amber already told you it's a long story" Spencer replied.

"So, you know?" Beck said.

"How many times do I have to tell you IT'S A LONG STORY! I just know! What's wrong with you guys?" Spencer answered in anger.

SAM'S POV

Oh no...

"Are you just gonna argue there and not get this little fella here? And her two knights who... Failed." The man beside me said.

"Guys, we're 8 in total! We can do this!" Spencer said.

"I guess, I'll take care of the other men while you guys get Sam, Alex, and Shayne," Elle said...

Elle...

Elle and I stared at each other. And I shook my head.

This is not good...

*Author's*

The man beside Sam signaled his men to attack and the men ran to Sam's half-brothers making them a little bit shocked why they attacked them instead of one man running to Elle after she said about the attack.

All the men hit and punched each other and...

*BANG!

"Spencer!" Sam yelled.

Spencer got shot in his shoulder. Blood continued dripping to his body... Sam quickly unties herself and the man beside him helped Sam...

*BANG! *BANG! *BANG!

"SAMANTHA!" Nathan yelled.

Nathan quickly ran to Sam, shaking her and also to Spencer...

"Samantha! Wake-Wake up! Please..." Nathan said while sobbing...

"Sam? Can you hear me?" Nathan asked

"Hi, I don't know you... Who are you?" Sam replied.

"Sam, it's me, Nathan! Your brother!" Nathan replied.

"Sam, are you okay?" Nathan asked.

"I just got shot, do you this I'm okay?" Sam replied.

"If-if I'm not able gonna make it, tell A-Alex to get the blue no-no-notebook in my drawer, the k-key is underneath it, and it's beside my bed... Okay?" Sam added.

"No, Sam, don't think that! You're going to be just *sniffs* fi-fine... O-okay?" Nathan replied.

"Nath-an... Don't cry... please..." Sam said.

"Blood!" Amber said while freaking out.

"Somebody calls 911!" Elle said...

The men are starting to argue with the person who they suspect who shot Sam and Spencer...

"Look what you've done!" The man said.

"I've never done anything!" The other man replied.

"Then how did they got shot in the first place?"

"I don't know..."

*whispers something*

"I know... did anyone of you shoot them?" The man asked.

His men replied, "No, sir!" leaving him curious...

"Then how did the two of them got shot?"

"Okay, Daniel, do something!" Beck said.

"Okay, Nathan, apply pressure on Sam's stomach, and Andre you do the same on Spencer's chest," Daniel said.

"Oh! Elle, get that remote beside you and press the red button with a cross sign... Dan, when is the ambulance gonna arrive? And untie that two men"

"They'll be arriving in maybe a minute..." Dan replied

"Are you kidding me?!" Nathan replied.

"We're in a mansion, Nathan! and we're in the middle of it!"

"Excuse me, sir!" The paramedics said.

"Is that real?" Shayne asked.

"I don't know, Shay..." Amber replied.

"Poor, Sam and Spencer..." Elle said...

"Who among you... shot Samantha?!" Alex asked angrily

"Look, none of us shot both of them" The man replied

"Wait! What's that big hole from the window?" Elle asked...

"So, none of you shot Sam and Spencer but someone there earlier did" Elle added.

"Guys, are we gonna tell Tyler?" Amber asked.

"Maybe we should tell him" Shayne replied.

"Hey, we're not gonna say anything to Tyler without Sam's permission! She planned aw a party for Tyler we can't waste that plan" Alex said.

"I know what you're saying, Alex. I think you're right... or I don't know..." Elle said.

"Let's get out of here before we guys ended up got shot too," Beck said.

"Aren't we going to the hospital?" Amber asked.

"Oh, you guys stay here, play in Sam's room," Beck said.

"Then where are you going?" Alex asked.

"We're going to the hospital, you guys take care..." Beck replied.

They nodded.

AT SAM'S ROOM

"Spencer went too far..." Alex said.

"What do you mean?" Elle asked.

"Who makes kidnapping a prank?" Alex asked.

"Sam is a good actress isn't she?" Elle said.

"Yeah, the tears are way too real. And the way she acts, it's like she's been kidnapped in real life!" Amber replied.

"Wait, so Spencer pranked Sam and Sam pranked Spencer and us both?!" Alex said.

"Wait, she didn't tell you?!" Elle asked.

"No! Not any word or small detail" Alex replied.

"Then... It's a prank" Elle and Amber said.

"But, after what happened to the both of them... that's not a prank... And it will never be a prank..."

...

"So, what are we gonna do now?" Shayne asked.

"Let's just wait for the news" Alex replied.

"Aren't we guys gonna talk about the mysterious shooter?" Elle asked.

"What are we gonna talk about from that? We don't have any clues or some stuff like that" Shayne replied.

"You guys wait while I, try to solve some case here," Elle said.

"I'm going to sleep, wake us when you receive a text from them," Alex said.

"Okay, sure do!" Elle replied.

"Wait! Are we allowed to sleep in Sam's big bed?" Amber asked.

While the three were looking at each other waiting for an answer, Elle quickly jumped to Sam's bed.

"Elle!" Amber said.

"What? You guys don't wanna get in here so, I went in first!" Elle replied.

...

"How can Sam sleep in this big bed without fear? It can fit 10 peoples!" Amber said.

"Amber, it's 20 peoples!" Elle said.

"It's so soft!" Amber said.

And they all laughed...

AT THE HOSPITAL

NATHAN'S POV

*BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!*

"Excuse me, sir!"

"What's happening?!" I asked.

"Sir, please stay back!" The nurse replied

"CLEAR!"

"Do it again" The nurse said.

...

"No, again... CLEAR!"

*BEEEEEEEEEEEP!*

"It's a flat line..." The doctor said.

"SAAAAM!" I yelled.

...

"Samantha Shay, time of death: 11:36 AM. I'm sorry..." The doctor said.

"SAM!" I yelled.

...

"AAAHHH!" I yelled.

"Nathan, are you alright?" Beck asked.

*Sigh*

"Oh, thank God, you're still alive!"

It was just a dream...

"Nathan, I know how much Sam means to you, everything is gonna be alright, okay?" Andre said

I nodded.

Seeing Sam in the hospital bed breaks my heart... I also freaked out when I heard that Sam was in the hospital when she just got back from Seattle in the summer.

And with Beck saying, "everything's going to be just fine" over and over again makes me even worried than calming down, I don't even want to sleep because of fantasies just like the recent one I had...

"Beck, how's Spencer?" I asked Beck.

"Spencer's is still in the operating room, he's going to be alright, Dan is operating him..." He replied.

"Do you have any idea, who shot them?" I asked.

Andre and Beck shook their heads.

"And by the way, when are your parents gonna come here?"

"We're here!" Sam's mom said.

"Poor, baby..." She added while touching Sam.

"How long has she been here?" Their father asked.

"Nearly an hour..." Beck replied.

"Can we investigate the whole mansion?" Mrs. Shay asked.

"I don't know, mom... We need to get experts for that, you can't investigate the whole house by yourself" Andre replied.

"Where's Spencer, dear?" Mrs. Shay asked Beck.

"He's still in the operating room..." Beck replied.

"Did you tell them the news to her friends?" I asked Beck.

"What news?" He replied.

"About Sam and Spencer, duh!" I replied.

"Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me, kinda forgot them..." he said.

AT SAM'S ROOM

AMBER'S POV

*DING!*

"Guys, Beck just texted," I said.

"What did he say?" Alex asked.

"What's the password?" I replied.

"Why do you wanna know my password?" Alex asked.

"How could I read the message on your phone when your phone's asking me what's the password?" I replied.

"It's Samantha"

...

"I'm sure with that" Shayne added.

"No, it's on numbers, Shayne," I said.

"061916," Alex said.

"Sam's birthday," Shayne said.

"What?" Alex asked.

"June 19 and her age 16?" Shayne replied.

Alex stared at us and said...

"Case solved, Sherlock!" Alex said to Shayne.

And we all laughed.

"You indeed love, Sam," Elle said.

"Just as a friend and she deserves to be loved" Alex replied.

"Really???" Elle asked.

Alex stood up instead of answering something...

"Where are you going?" Elle asked.

"Get, coffee?" Alex replied.

"There's a pantry here!" Elle added.

"Guys, instead of eating Sam's food, why don't we just go to the hospital?" Amber said.

"No, Beck said, we're going stay here..." Alex replied.

"Aren't we going to help?" I asked.

"What are we going to do? Do you have something in your mind?" Shayne asked.

"No, but who could shot them?" I asked.

"Maybe someone we don't know but only Sam or Spencer-

"Or their family..." Shayne added to Elle.

"But we should do something..." I said.

"I know that you wanna help Sam or them, but there's nothing we can do! We don't have any clues about it" Shayne said.

"I know! So, that's what we're going to do!" I said.

"We're going to look for something to come up with an idea or clues but we need to find help of course... We can't do this on our own" I added.

"Fine, we're going to do it..." Elle said.

"But remember it's for Sam and their family and also for our safety..." I said.

"Okay..." They all replied.

"Thank you for your cooperation, I appreciate it," I said.
