Devastation

Quentin let out a short chuckle and stood back up straight, "Henry, got all the phones?" Quentin calmly asked getting a nod from the younger man, "Good, let's go get your father to get things underway," Quentin gave a quick glance back to the group, "Now you kids don't get into any trouble while we step out because if you do...well," He gave the gun in his hand a quick shake, "Things are going to stop being cordial, hear me?"

"We hear you," Kenny replied, his voice eerily calm, despite the terror of the situation the teenager was feeling in control, his heart calm and mind still cleared,

"Excellent," Quentin finished as he led Henry and Terry out of the room and into the hallway,

"Alright, who has a fucking idea?" Brian almost instantly hissed as soon as the men were gone,

"Brian stop, we need to stay calm, it's the only way we're going to get out of this," Kenny retorted, "Now did anyone-"

"Calm? Fucking calm, Kenny? We don't have the fucking time to sit and be fucking calm we need to do something before we-" Brian snapped back as he got to his feet, though just as quickly did the teen grab his head and collapse back onto the couch, his cheeks nearly turning green while the world spun around him,

"Brian, what's wrong?" Rachel asked while quickly pulling herself over to her little brother,

"He's probably concussed Rach," Kailyn responded in a concerned tone, "He got whacked in the head pretty good by that asshole,"

"Maybe we should just make a run for it," Anna suggested,

"No, we need to stay put," Zoey instantly denied,

"She's right, we run we're gonna just get one in the back," Nicole agreed,

"Well do either of you have a different idea?" Mindy asked while running a hand through her hair,

"Besides fighting back ourselves?" JJ tacked on,

"Before that guy came upstairs and grab Nicole, Eric, and I, I was able to call-" Zoey softly began to explain only to get abruptly cut off,

"Hey!" Terry's powerful voice boomed out from the doorway, "Shut! Up!" The teens lowered their heads as the man slowly ran his eyes over each one of their faces, "Don't make me come back in here," The slim black man stepped back in the hallway meeting back up with his three colleagues, "Fucking kids," He muttered under his breath,

"Relax T, things are going to be handled before you know it," Quentin easily reminded him,

"Mr.Marsh...I know I had agreed with you about destroying the mines, I do, but..." John interjected with an anguished exhale while rubbing his face, "What are we doing here? I didn't sign on to take a bunch of kids hostage,"

"I understand that John, but this is good, it's still all part of the plan to bring Leonard down to his knees, trust me, things are going to work out just fine and in a few hours everyone walks away safe and sound," Quentin smoothly replied, "Now are all the landlines destroyed?"

"Y-Yeah," The older man nodded back,

"Good, now why don't you head into the den and keep an eye on our guests make sure they aren't getting into any trouble. Me and T are gonna go over a few more things and I'll get Henry back to work on clean up in a minute, alright John?" Quentin assured the older man while placing his hands on his shoulders,

John shut his eyes a nodded once more, "W-What are you planning? Can you at least tell me that?"

"Of course, John," Quentin smiled, "Brian and Rachel were gonna bring them to the mines, trap them inside make it look like Leonard's own negligence even endangered his kids, it won't be pretty. By the time the rescue team digs those kids out, Leonard is going to be losing millions and I'm willing to bet even his marriage will be in question. The others in the meanwhile, we'll just do a little dime and pony show, make them nervous and warn them not to talk, then we let them go. So see? Nothing to worry about, now go on, we still need you doing your part,"

John let out a breath of relief and turned back up the hallway and returned to the den. "Seriously? We're just gonna let them all go, they've seen our faces know our names," Henry instantly interjected, "You think Leonards kids are going to stay quiet about everything after you bury them in a mine?"

"Of course not, Henry, but that's what your dad needed to hear right then," Quentin retorted, "Things aren't going to go that dimly, we're cleaning this up the right way. Leonards whole family with be destroyed and by the time things are handled he'll be penniless,"

Henry let out a smile, "Good, that bastard deserves nothing less, he screwed my father and he needs to pay. So what's the real plan?"

"It's quite simple, T is going to stay here with your dad, make sure everything continues to run nice and smooth, we don't need these brats screwing everything up. In the meantime I'm taking Leonard's kids to the mines, only unlike I told your dad, they aren't going end up trapped inside, they'll be crushed. I'll drop half the fucking mines on their heads. Then we'll see how Leonard's marriage and sanity holds with his kid's blood on his hands,"

"What about me?" Henry firmly asked back, not at all fazed or concerned with Quentin's plan so far,

"You," Quentin softly said, checking over his shoulder quickly making sure John hadn't returned, "You head back outside to our snowmobiles, grab what's left of the dynamite, and head up the mountainside close to the summit. Rig the whole thing up and once everything is all said and done, and we're heading down the mountain scott-free...we drop the mountain on this place and bury the rest of these kids. Their families are sure to sue, and Leonard is a broken, dimeless fucking man," Quentin finished with a devilish grin now prominent on his face.
