It was pitch-black outside when the NSYNC concert bus moved swifty down the highway.The bus driver drove all night while everyone eles was sound asleep in thier bunks.

Joey was the first to open his eyes when the morning sunlight finally streamed through the window.

"Where are we?"

JC hopped down from his bunk overhead."Where do you think?We're on the bus."

"You know what I mean."

"I don't care where we're at I'd rather be sleeping and snoring.Justin groaned.Can't we stay in bed an extra hour?"


"No way,There isn't any more food left around here.Let's get dressed so we can go have breakfast."

"Is that all you think about Chris?"

"That and who he's going to date next week." Justin answered Lance with a smirk.

"Come on guys,I'm so hungry I could eat just about anything."

"Oh,so your the one who chewed a hole in my favorite black shoes." JC added.


Joey started digging through the pile of clothes at the foot of his bed,scattering them everywhere.
Shoes tumbled on the floor,shirts fell against the window shades,and a brown leather jacket landed on Justin's head.

Justin tossed the jacket back."What are you looking for?"

"A bag of Oreos.I know they're here somewhere!"

"If you keep eating junk food,their going to declare your body a landfill."

Joey threw his hat at Justin and they both burst out laughing.

Over at the concert hall,the roadies were already preparing for the evening's performance.

Kendall was busy checking out the backstage area when she spotted a piece of paper almost hidden behind a curtain.

She picked up the paper and turned it over and over,but she couldn't read what it said.Kendall didn't know how to read.

Kendall went back to work and put the note out of her mind,never suspecting that it said: Kidnapping Plan

Thier shoes made a crunch-crunch sound on the fallen tree leafs that were around them.The sound made way to the creaking wood as the guys stepped up the stairs of the restauran porch.
Suddenly the guys were greeted by sights,sounds,and smells when they opened the door.The restauran was something from the old west.Cowboy stuff hung from the wall.Cowboy hats hung from the rafters.Photos in every corner.
Instead of regular tables,there were long picnic tables and wooden benches.

A young girl with a suntanned face and a wide,gap-toothed smiled greeted they.She wore a red bandanna with a wisp of black hair sticking out from behind it.

"Your my favorite group!" She said with a smile.

"What's your name?" Justin asked her.

"Erica." She answered shyly.

Justin grabbed a napkin and signed it.Giving it to her.

"Oh wow,Thanks!"

"Anything for a fan."

They all talked a while,then erica took thier order and walked off.

The guys were talking,laughing,joking,when the lights went out and somewhere in the darkness there was a scream.After that an eerie silence hung in the air.One of the nsync stars had been kidnapped.
