Juliet tried to call Andy back five times and each time it just went straight to voicemail. Finally, she ran out into the hallway and told the first officer she saw that Andy had just called her and told her he found the bus. Of course, the cop asked her where he was and she couldn't answer him. The cop got on his radio and called out to see if anyone knew where Andy was. Juliet got discouraged after the radio replies kept saying no one knew where he was and he hadn't called in to anyone else.

Juliet kept trying to call Andy back even as she went out into the parking lot of the venue to look at the street. Why wasn't he answering her? Maybe one of his other bandmates knew where he was? She tried calling Ashley but he didn't answer either. Jake answered his phone and said he had been driving around with Jinxx for a while but they hadn't heard from Andy and had no idea where he was.

Juliet was getting more and more frustrated. Maybe Andy was on his way back to the venue with the kids now? Maybe that's why he wasn't answering his phone. He didn't want to talk and drive at the same time? No, that's ridiculous.

He wouldn't do that to her. He would have let her know what was going on first....but why wouldn't he just call and say, 'I have the kids' instead of, 'I found the bus' She didn't give two shits about the tour bus, it could easily be replaced. All she cared about was her kids. She had to find out where Andy was. She turned on "Find My Iphone" in her phone and clicked on Andy's phone.

It was listed as offline. Shit, his phone must have died! No wonder he wasn't calling her back. She pulled open another phone finding app to check the last location of his phone. It popped up on a street next to some woods about thirteen miles, southeast of the venue.

She screenshotted the map and texted it to Jake. "Andy's here! He said he found the bus!" She captioned it. He could probably get their faster than her. She knew Jake and Jinxx had borrowed a security guard's car and she was hoping another guard would let her borrow their car as well. She couldn't stay at the venue, knowing Andy finally found the bus! She had to get over there and get her kids. There was a security guard a few feet away from her in the parking lot taking a picture of a car's license plate.

Juliet ran up to him, "Hey! Can I borrow your car?" She asked. The young guard looked stunned for a second as he backed away from the red Bentley. "Oh, that's not my car." He said. "What?" Juliet asked. "The car- it's got American plates. I just thought it was weird is all. We don't usually see American cars out here. The police said to keep an eye out for suspicious things so -" "Where is your car?! I need to borrow it! My husband found my kids!" Juliet informed him, not giving a shit about his story. The guard's face lit up. "Oh, wow! That's great! I mean uhh, I don't really have a car, but I-"

"What?! Where's your car?!" Juliet gasped. "I don't have one. Sorry. I car pool in a van with a few other guys." The guard replied, sheepishly. Juliet spun away from him, trying to find another guard to help her, when the guard suddenly said something that made her stop. "You know I saw the guys driving this car when they got out. They came up to the door threatening us. They said if we didn't let them in the building, we would regret it." Juliet turned around to stare at him.

"Guys?! How many were there? Did you tell the cops this?!" She demanded. "There were two men. They came up to us angry because we wouldn't let a girl with no ticket inside. The concert was sold out! They threatened to break every bone in our body and all sorts of stuff if we didn't let the girl in. They even said they would burn the building down." "So what did you do?!" Juliet asked. "We told them to get the hell off the property, or we would call the police! I didn't really think about them again until I saw this car. I'm guessing they never left.."

"Or, they DID leave - in the fucking BUS!" Juliet snapped. She was about to ask the guard to describe what the men and girl looked like, when she noticed the cops suddenly jumping into their cars and speeding out of the parking lot with their sirens blaring. What the hell was going on? Had they finally found Andy and the bus?

Juliet ran up to one of the police officers who was about to get into her car. "What's going on?" Juliet demanded. The female officer opened the door and told her to get in the passenger seat. "The bus has been located. It's empty. We're forming a search party in the woods." Juliet's heart was in her throat the entire drive to the location of the bus. Empty? How could it be empty? That's impossible! The kids were on the bus when she left! Where could they have gone?

The street was filled with cop cars when they finally made it, and the cop had to park a block away from the bus that was already covered with crime scene tape. Juliet didn't see anybody she recognized. Just a bunch of cops and random people calling themselves search party volunteers. She tried to walk up to the bus but they stopped her and said she couldn't contaminate the crime scene. She saw that the windshield was shattered and assumed that was the way the killers had gained access to the bus. She could hear from the police mummers, that they were searching for a female suspect.

"Female?" Juliet butted into a detective's conversation. The detective gave her a wary look. "I'm Juliet. The search party is for my kids." She told him. The detective sighed and informed her that the message being passed along from the children's father was that, he found clothes belonging to a female on the bus and believed she was the killer. "Did she have two men with her?" Juliet asked quickly. The detective didn't know what she was talking about, so she told him the story about the two men and the girl making threats at the concert venue. The detective immediately got on his radio to update the suspect range, while Juliet called Jake.

As soon as Jake answered she asked where he was. He said he was in the woods with Andy and then he let her talk to him. "Did you find them yet?" Juliet asked as soon as she heard Andy's voice. "No, it's - fucking dark as fuck out here! I can't see shit. It's freezing-" Juliet's attention was stolen away from Andy's ranting at a woman's sudden hysterical screaming. At first Juliet thought it was coming from Andy's end, but then she noticed the police officers turning and running toward the woods. Juliet ran after them but stopped in her tracks when she was a girl come stumbling out of the woods covered in blood and collapsing on to the street.

Juliet's heart was pounding as she saw the girl get instantly surrounded by police officers. Some one shouted for an ambulance. Andy must have heard the screams through the phone because he started panicking and asking what was going on. "I don't know!" Juliet admitted, "Some girl just came out of the woods covered in blood!" She gasped. Both Juliet and Andy could hear the girl as she cried that she had just been attacked by a man with a knife. "He's crazy! He's in there! He tried to kill me!" The girl cried.

Juliet's grip on her phone was weak. Stabbed? Like the tour bus driver? Was it the same man? The cops descended into the woods, calling for the search party volunteers to retreat. Andy wouldn't retreat though. Even after Juliet told him about the crazy man with the knife in the woods. He said the guy would have to kill him before he stopped looking for their kids. Juliet was growing increasingly nauseous. She asked her husband if he even knew where in the woods he was and he confessed that he had no idea, but he believed he and Jake had been walking in circles. He said they hadn't run into anybody else out there.

Juliet was about to ask him to just come out of the woods and let the police do their job, when she heard an officer behind her calling Andy's name. "Is anybody here named Andy? I'm looking for an Andy!" Confused, Juliet turned around to look at the cop. He seemed concerned as he scanned the faces looking at him. An ambulance siren was getting closer. "Andy? Are you looking for my husband?" Juliet asked the officer. The cop stopped in front of her just as the ambulance pulled up to help the woman on the ground.

"Is your husband named, Andy Black?" The officer asked. Juliet nodded her head. "What's going on?" Andy demanded through the phone. The police officer said he needed to get in contact with Andy right away. Juliet handed her phone to the officer. Surprised, the cop asked if he was speaking to Andy Black. Then he turned away from Juliet and began speaking in a hushed tone. Dumbfounded, Juliet gasped and demanded that the cop tell her what he was saying.

The cop tried to walk away and ignore her, but Juliet chased after him. She was eavesdropping on the conversation and only heard bits and pieces from the cop's end but there were two words that ultimately stood out. "Hostage Situation."
