-RYAN-

"Okay so I know it sounds crazy and shit but there are multiple different dimensions to our world, and he's basically trapped in a dimension very similar to Purgatory with Ryan-Ashley." Explains Mike.

"So I'm guessing we're scrapping the whole shapeshifter plan? It's a shame, I never got to try that out." Vinny pouts. Ghost comforts his boyfriend jokingly.

Mike ignores Vinnys witty remark, continuing on with his explanation, "Maria said she could get us in and out but we have to find them both within a month. Well technically it would be all of them. Each soul has five parts to it- evil, soulless, good, sad, and normal. Which ultimately means there are five Ryan-Ashleys and five Joshs. We will have to get in and out the same way, if we don't then we're stuck there forever." We all groan at his complicated words.

"Fun." I snicker. "I mean this is obviously full proof right? Like Maria hasn't fucked us over before." I scoff.

Mike gives me a dirty look, growing defensive, "She does a lot for you and your friends man. She might have messed up before but it wasn't on purpose or anything." I wave him off. She nearly got me killed but that's fine because she's Maria- and Maria's perfect.

"Anyways." Mike starts, "You guys in, or not?" A few of us shrug, others nodding. Murmurs of 'yeah''s and 'sure''s are mumbled through the air, causing Mike to grin like a happy camper.

"Great," he smiles, looking between us all, before his eyes land on a certain someone, "but what about him?" He questions pointing to Ricky.

I look between the both of them a few times before scoffing and shaking my head, "He is not going. I can't have him getting hurt let alone ending up dead."

Chris sighs, looking to me, "Ryan, he needs to come. We don't even know if we can trust him yet. Plus we will need an extra pair of hands and eyes if we're going to be catching ten people." He reasons. I sigh giving in. He's right, I'm wrong, now I just have to deal with it.

"He's coming, but he's staying with me." I remark sharply. Everyone nods, showing their complete understanding. "Okay." I pause, gathering my thoughts, "When do we leave?"
