“Come toi guys we have to have something Sunday is only one plus jour away we have to get him back he could be killed ou sold Sunday and who knows what else
The computer turned back on to a new video this was feed a block away from Charlie and dons house it showed a teen leaving a child behind at a traverser, croix walk and before turning around to see if the younger one was following he turned the corner it was obvious that the older boy was mad at the younger one. Then there where a group of older boys that surrounded the younger one don recognized the group Josh Tanner, Benny Frist, Nathan Blue, and Victor Tyce (and it didn’t take the agents that long to figure out that the younger boy was in fact Charlie and the one that left him was don) when Charlie found himself surrounded he looked over his shoulder (they figured to see if don was anywhere in sight but they weren’t sure) when he and the older boys where certain that Charlie’s big brother wasn’t around they started to push him and that’s when the audio came to the tape. “You’re a freak I’m surprised that you’re real mom and dad didn’t just throw toi away instead of giving toi to the Eppes family poor them probably didn’t even know what they were getting themselves into” a dit one of the boys pushing Charlie down. “My big brother is right around that corner if I yell he will be right here and he will beat toi and you’re Friends up” a dit Charlie getting back up putting emphases on big brother. “You’re so stupid toi actually believe that toi could be one of us normal kids when you’re nothing but a seconde hand child that the Eppes’s got when they found toi in an alley” a dit another and pushed Charlie back down. “I am not adopted my mom and dad a dit so I can’t help that I’m smarter than all toi my brain just--” Charlie didn’t have time to finish as a kick was enough to make him gasp for air. “So what toi calling us stupid now is that it freak” he bent down like he was going to whisper something in Charlie’s ear and yelled in his ear instead “WE ARE WITH KIDS ARE OWN AGE A FREAK LIKE toi ISN’T” he added another kick to Charlie’s stomach. “Stop” came from Charlie in a form of a gasp as this time the blows did not stop coming. “What was that freak did toi say something” a dit the tallest one which the agents figure out to be josh and gave Charlie a huge kick to the gut. “DoNnIe” was Charlie choked up response as he tried to turn away from all the blows. After about a few minutes when don didn’t montrer up they replied “oh looks like super Donnie isn’t coming to save a freak of an alien little brother like you” a dit victor. “pLeAsE DON-hon-NIE” a dit Charlie then whispered in which the agents actually had to turn up the sound to hear “where are toi Donnie” added Charlie with his nose dripping blood. The four boys took off Charlie’s bag and threw it in the ditch in some mud and started tormenting him again “kid this is the reason Donnie isn’t here he doesn’t want to be seen any plus helping a little freak like you” a dit josh poking Charlie in the head real hard making him canard his head then he picked Charlie up par his hair in a standing potion “see toi don’t know this but toi have been plus like a chore to him one he desperately once to get rid of but he would never say that to toi because toi would be running to mommy ou daddy to tell on him like that” he a dit punching Charlie in the stomach as the video flashed to don’s part he had just left Charlie behind and was now waiting for him par a convenient store across the rue from their house toi could hear him tapping his foot impatiently “come on Charlie come on” a dit don now looking at his watch waited another ten minutes and started walking back to where he left Charlie. It flashed back to Charlie after Charlie had just got punched in stomach and quickly raise his arms to block other shots as the bully’s let go of Charlie’s hair and grabbed onto his hands and brought them roughly behind his back and started punching him again and again “please stop, stop what do toi want” Charlie gasped out as the kids continued. “We want toi to learn you’re lesson freak and stop out shining everyone” a dit Nathan Blue kicking Charlie just as they heard feet stomping up behind them. “Donnie” Charlie cried out as the older boys let go of him and ran off while Charlie fell to the ground. The other kids took off running at the sight of don, who was about to chase them down when he saw how bloodied Charlie was and don bent down to see how bad it was “buddy what did those guys do” asked don to his bleeding little brother who was lying on the ground. “Donnie my books” a dit Charlie pointing at his muddy book bag. “Here buddy I’ll get your livres and stuff ok toi just lay right there till I help toi up” a dit don walking over to the ditch where the bag had been throwing and going back to his brother as soon as possible. “Here I got you” don a dit picking up Charlie before he could try to getting up on his own. Charlie was whispering in Dons ear and they yet again had to turn up the volume to hear what he said. As Charlie was picked up par his brother he kept apologizing for being a freak and for being adopted and being a chore and he was sorry for being the worst little brother in the world. To all of which Don stopped dead in his tracks and looked back to where the boys had ran and toi could tell what kind of thought had just ran through his mind when he looked back at that direction he wanted nothing plus than to kick there asses but right at that moment Charlie needed him so he did the best thing any big brother would do in that situation and insulted Charlie “listen Charlie I didn’t think toi of all people would be stupid enough to listen to that crap toi are the best little bro in the universe all right and toi are not adopted cause I remember having to feed toi when mom sat toi in my lap coming accueil from the hospital with toi and everything ok so if I ever hear toi call yourself a freak, chore, adopted, ou anything like that again then I’m going to coup de poing toi myself cause your none of those things toi are a genius and smart and toi should hear what some of the girls call toi all of which are good things Charlie, so never listen to them they are stupid idiots that wouldn’t know 2+2=4 if they heard it from their mothers ok” a dit don. Feeling Charlie nod against him he started to walk again then stopped abruptly in which the sudden look of worry past on don’s face as he stopped dead in his tracks and pulled Charlie away from his chest “buddy toi ok” he asked laying Charlie on the ground. Charlie nodded weakly and don lifted up his chemise and cursed as he saw bruise’s up and down Charlie’s 11 an old frame he checked Charlie’s breathing it was weak and that worried don “you’re going to be fine Charlie” Don a dit as he lifted up Charlie from the ground and ran accueil as quick as he could. The footage on the computer switching from rue camera to rue camera as don ran until he ran into the craftsman accueil a few minutes later an ambulance pulled up and two paramedic’s came out with a stretcher and went into the house and came back out with a now fully awake Charlie holding dons hand evidently a little too tight judging par dons looks then the ambulance pulled out of the drive and two worried parents went out to the car and followed the ambulance. don glanced over and smiled at his agent they all had worried looks on their faces “don’t worry guys all he had was some bruised ribs and the breath knocked out of him which is the reason for his passing out in the first place and a few scrapes here and there and those guys went to prison and are still there they have thirty years there to think about what they did to him” a dit don. As a new tape switch on Don remembered this jour he, and everyone else in fourth heure math was really mad at Charlie cause Charlie reminded Mr. Berks the math teacher about the Monday test in which no surprise perfect little Charlie made a 100% on which made people hate him plus and not to mention he got his older brother grounded again because of his blabber mouth. ‘protecting Charlie is getting harder with his prefect little reminding teacher act I can’t stand him any longer I wish he would just shut his mouth sometimes’ don thought bitterly. Then there was a knock on his door and before he could even say ‘come in’ the door wedged open and a curly headed boy came in “Donnie I’m sorry I got toi in trouble but I brought toi these there homemade biscuits, cookies mom and I made them she a dit I could only have two so toi can have both of them I really am sorry I didn’t know it would get toi in trouble really I didn’t” Charlie a dit kind of sounding broking up about it. The stupid chiot pout broke through dons anger “it’s ok buddy and thanks for these but suivant time we keep it a secret and not tell mom about my fights ok” don a dit with a smile and ruffled Charlie’s curly hair. Charlie smiled a little and nodded “ok but I’m still sorry I just thought it was cool you’re like a superhero Donnie toi montrer up in the nick of time if toi wouldn’t of the mass of the guy would have crushed me and the power of the arm muscle’s would have broken my ribs see I made a diagram” Charlie a dit with a bigger smile. “then lets both be glad I did ok buddy now trying to study go down stairs and watch TV for me and tell me what happened in the baseball tournament like who wins and stuff” don a dit as Charlie ran out the room and down the stairs “well maybe I can stand him a little bit longer I wonder how much longer before he can protect himself” don a dit out loud then smiled at the cookies. “all well Charlie can be annoying but he is a great brother but I’ll never tell him that but he does try… harder than anyone I know” don laughed and stopped laughing as his mom entered the room “so toi don’t want your little baby brother to know toi think he is a great brother well guess what mister” Margret reaching from behind a shelf for a video camera “it’s gonna cost ya” she a dit laughing. “What that’s invading my privacy mom give me that camera right now” a dit don mocking an angry expression. “Nope I think I’m going to use this against toi one day” Margret a dit smiling evilly. “Black mailing your own son that’s low mom now gives me that tape” a dit don grabbing for it. “Nope” Margret a dit running down stairs and the tape turned off. The agent’s best guess was that she hid it somewhere. And the evil voice was back “it’s amazing your little brother is so trusting I mean from the child capuche, hotte he’s had I would figure he would be locked up in the insane asylum oh and agents toi should hear what we have kind, sweet, big hearted Charlie saying about himself now he thinks he’s a freak and we all agree with him” then the computer shut off again. “DAMMIT did we get anything at all” don asked impatiently. “Ya boss I went through the students not of Charlie’s but of your old high schools there a four guys I like for this cause of what he a dit I don’t think he is a student of Charlie’s but a former class mate these four right here got kicked out of high school because they beat up a minor in other words Charlie and went to prison for an assault all tried as adults and all went to the same prison and all escaped together last month” a dit Nikki out loud handing Colby David and don each a file of theirs. “Here they are Josh Tanner, Benny Frist, Nathan Blue, and Victor Tyce which I believe is vice” a dit Nikki. “Alright good then work on that Colby with me we are going to the prison where they escaped” a dit Don walking out of the room all off a sudden his phone rang. “Eppes”
Female: salut don it’s me terry is Charlie with you
Don: no he was abducted about a week il y a “he a dit while looking down”
Terry: that’s what I was afraid of
Don truly intrigued now: what why did toi hear something
Terry: no, no it plus I saw something in an add on the computer
Don: what did toi see was it important to the investigation?
Terry: I’d say so if Charlie is umm book a flight to DC as soon as possible ok don because I have something toi really should see
Don: ok I’ll be there with Colby David Liz and Nikki there part of my team
Don at the airport boarding the plane everything packed up tight as carry on it wasn’t till 8:05 that the plane landed from LA to DC and terry was there to meet them. “Hey Don hope toi had some rest on the plane cause where we’re going to is undercover haut, retour au début secrete and the whole thing toi know” terry a dit while holding an ad for the thing. “Really I don’t think this is just accident they want us to see this” a dit don in an angry voice and handed the flyer to Colby and he passed it on to the rest of the team. “This is wrong man” a dit Colby looking back to the ad. “Which is why I called toi down at first I thought it was some kinda of sick joke and that they somehow got a picture of Charlie but that’s not the case” a dit terry taking the picture of Charlie gagged and hanging par the wrist from the ceiling bloodied from Nikki. “As soon as I get my hands on them I’m going to tear them apart” a dit Don angrily. “This is why I called toi guys I need someone under cover with me and I thought don but I don’t think he should now” a dit terry as they all got into the car. “I’m fine I will be fine” Don a dit as he got in the front and they drove off.
Back to the bad guys Sunday morning
“Wake up freak” a dit josh aka Archie as vise splashed water on his face. Charlie woke with a gasp moaned from all his injuries every time he moved it set a course of pain through his body, one of his eyes swollen shut, he had only a few of his finger nails left, and one of his toe nails. His nose he couldn’t tell but he figured it was broken, just like most of his fingers, a few of his ribs, his left leg, and a few of his toes. He had burns on his arms from cigarette’s, on both his arms were cut marks, and some whip marks on his back and side, his eyes where blood shot from being shocked frequently and around his lips where tinged blue from being drowned and brought back, and he was starved he didn’t eat for a week and he got one cup of water every other jour and that jour wasn’t today. All he really knew was he was in pain he was pretty sure that dons team was hot on the trail but to far behind and pretty sure they were about to be too late because the girl was coming today first thing in the morning he was sure that it was Sunday at least 86% sure. “I a dit wake up” a dit Archie and whipped Charlie. “I’m-I ’ma-awake” Charlie stuttered out. Archie hit him again with the whip as if he was trying to make sure that Charlie wasn’t sleep talking hearing a gasp he let well enough alone. “alright where is he” asked the unknown female still Charlie couldn’t see her even though the blind fold was off she was standing right outside the door was the reason why. It was weird but Charlie was plus excited than ever the thought of leaving this place had him wrapped up in hope and if she wanted him for something then she would actually have to make him better before she could make him do anything. “he is right through here Miss. Bell” they a dit as the door open, then all Charlie heard was a gasp from the female as she rounded the back of him to get a better sight of the front of him. “What I thought I a dit I would buy him and this is the way he is coming I think I’ll have a look at the map now I don’t want something broken” a dit Miss. cloche, bell who Charlie could see perfectly now she was dressed all in black. All Charlie’s hope was crushed ‘damn so close’ Charlie thought bitterly as they were about to leave the room “wait” Charlie mumbled which made them all stop and turn around. “What did he just say” asked Miss. bell. “Wait” he repeated a little stronger this time “what did toi need” he wasn’t sure if this would work but he would give it a try. Miss. cloche, bell did not know to say “ummm I was just going to buy toi but toi are to bent out of shape as so toi might as well be dead toi had ill treatment I can see that much but you’re not going to help much with what I had in mind I guess I could buy your body and take all your organs out and sell them on the black market but that’s about all I can do” she a dit confused. Charlie started to think maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all so he looked down ‘so much for this plan’ he a dit to himself as she continued telling him all the things she could do with him when he died which was starting to make him feel sick. “This is not going good” Charlie mumbled to himself. “Well I think I’ll see that map now” she a dit walking out the room which Charlie was grateful for. Then he heard the door open again and some plus gasps from a woman and a man “oh come on in he isn’t that bad are toi freak” a dit vise punching him in the side making him yelp. “I don’t know if this is what we are looking for it’s plus we are looking for a child this is a kid in his mid-teens a little childlike in the face but not what where looking for” a dit the man as he touched Charlie’s back which made him yelp. “Do toi have another one this one seems like it’s a wimp too” he a dit again touching his back hearing another yelp and drew back his hand. “Yes we do but not with us” they a dit about to leave the room. Charlie on hearing they might go after a child decided to take this as a time to save someone else “WAIT I-I’m actually twel-twelve just all the bruise’s and broken Bones make me look older than I am” Charlie lied. “Oh sweetie you’re just not what we are looking for we are looking for plus 4-5 an olds sorry” a dit the woman and patted him on the head. And that’s when he heard the familiar door close and he was left in the room alone again.
Back at the FBI in DC
“So let me get this straight he has been here in DC the whole time” a dit don irritated. “Not the whole time some of the time he was in Colorado” she a dit as dons phone rang. “Eppes” Don a dit in a still irritated tone. “Is this agent Eppes” a dit the voice. “Yes who is this” asked don looking at terry. “You can call me vice” a dit the voice. “Victor toi had better give him back ou I will beat toi just like I beat you, Josh Tanner, Benny Frist, and Nathan Blue up in 11th grade give him back now” a dit don angrily. “Oh Donnie I knew that toi remember us but as of right now your little brother’s life is in our hands so I suggest toi keep your mouth shut” a dit victor calmly. “What do toi want Tyce” asked don controlling the anger best he could. “I want toi to turn on your laptop and open your e-mail and to let toi know your dad should be calling toi anytime now because I sent him the same thing” a dit vice in a happy tone then hung up. “Dammit I forgot about my dad I need to call him” don a dit pulling back out his cell phone just as his dad was calling. “Hey dad” don a dit in a not too thrilled voice.
Allan: Donnie where is your brother I need to talk to him right now (he a dit in a very worried tone)
Don: uhh salut dad I think toi need to sit down did toi check your e-mail (don a dit sitting down as well and getting out his laptop)
Allan: yes that’s why I’m calling Donnie did toi know Charlie was missing if so I’m wondering why toi didn’t call me (Allan sounded mad and was mad)
Don: ya dad and I didn’t want toi to worry I was going to tell toi but I forgot once the kidnappers called I got distracted after wards cause they sent us video’s dad the video’s where of me and Charlie as kids. (Don a dit in a depressed and sympathetic tone)
Allan: Donnie how would they get this stuff (Allan asked looking at his laptop screen)
Don: hold on dad what did they send to toi (his tone worried and serious)
Allan: a lot of pictures of Charlie and not happy one’s (he a dit while turning off his computer unable to look at the pictures any longer)
Don: I’m pulling up my e-mail (he gasped not even noticing he did the picture’s Charlie expressive eye where montrer pain and a lot of it he looked as if he got into a car accident and the car had definitely won there where wires attached to his head to and a few looked as if they were inserted in there to) dad its ok he is going to be fine I am going to find him
Allan: I know Donnie, and I’m booking a flight accueil right now
Don: dad.
Allan: Donnie don’t toi even try to talk me out of it your brother needs me he needs us both once toi get him so I’m coming home.
Don sighed: alright but dad we’re in DC that’s where the kidnappers brought him there selling him dad here in DC me and terry are going to go undercover to help find him
Allan: but Donnie if they know who I am don’t they know who toi are they must know what we both look like
Don: they do but I have a plan remember the micro mask case well that’s what we’re going to use
Allan: do toi have any suspects yet (he asked in a very serious and a little hopeful tone)
Don: sorry dad I can’t say any plus about the case but I will tell toi I was people we went to high school with Charlie sent them to jail.
Allan: was it Benny Frist, Nathan Blue, Josh Tanner, and Victor Tyce (Allan gasped out)
Don: ya dad how wait toi still remember them
Allan: well it’s not every jour your 11 an old has to go to the stand and point out his attackers (Allan a dit a shiver running up his spine at remembering Charlie having to go to the hospital after getting beat up par the four boys)
Don: ya dad and we have plus than just suspicions they called me dad
Allan heard a girl in the back ground saying something to don in which don sighed to. “dad I have to go we are getting ready for the undercover work it will take at least a jour to prep for so we will probably get started with it tomorrow morning see toi once toi get here” a dit don in a frowning tone. “See in about several hours because I have already booked my flight to DC and I’m about to broad the plane, call toi once I get there” Allan a dit hanging up. Don and terry went to the FBI undercover office to get prepped.
To Charlie at the bad guys hide out
Charlie groaned still hanging up par his wrist and blind folded again “hey the freaks awake” yelled vise ‘accidently’ bumping into him on his way out of the room. “Donnie please help” Charlie a dit groaning the electric wires attached to his head just like when he was a child not just attached to his head but put in his head par a brain specialist in the memory part making him confused and forget how old he was and most his memories at times right now he thought he was back at high school being bullied again ou sometimes he would think he was four and back at the testing place. “Donnie please” Charlie a dit louder “DONNIE I’M SORRY PLEASE, PLEASE I’LL STOP BEING A FREAK please Donnie I’m sorry” Charlie shouted at first then finished quietly. The bad guys came in angrily “WE a dit SHUT UP” they yelled at him angrily. “Please I promise I’ll do your homework for a hole mois please I want to go home” a dit Charlie begging. “We a dit shut up toi stupid freak” a dit josh hitting him. “Please I’ll be good boy n-n-not bad freak” Charlie was stuttering now terrified of other consequences. “That’s better how old are toi dweeb” a dit Nathan blue grabbing the back of Charlie’s hair. “I’m, I’m Tw- twelve…… could I could I please have some- some water please” Charlie gasped out in a begging tone his throat really dry and he kept smacking his lips together to try to get some moisture in his mouth. “Hmm… could he have some water some water” a dit the josh in a mocking tone “why of course toi can…… tomorrow” he a dit an evil smile on his face. “But I haven’t had water in almost two days please m-m-my throat is really dry just a little bit a half a cup a quarter of a cup please just some” Charlie was purely begging now “please” he repeated hoping it would help change their mind. “Let us think about it” a dit vise as they all left the room. Charlie kept smacking his lips trying to get whatever remaining moisture he had left to soothe his aching throat he moaned when he realized there was barely enough to drool out much less soothe a dry throat.
At the air port
Allan picked up his phone and dialed Dons number (ring, ring, ring) “Eppes” a dit don in an unfamiliar voice. “Ya Donnie is that you” asked Allan just to make sure it was his oldest son. “Ya dad it’s me it’s this stuff they put on me to make my voice unrecognizable I’ll have David and Colby pick toi up ok” a dit don telling something to his team. “I’ll be here once they get here Donnie I’m going to be inside on a bench par the front doors ok” a dit Allan with a sigh. “Ya ok dad see toi once toi get here bye” don a dit in a rushed tone. “Ok son bye” Allan a dit completely understanding. Just soon after Allan hung up with don two men came up too him “sir I’m going to have to ask toi to come with us” a dit one of the unknown men. “Umm I think I’m going to stay right here where I’m at thank toi very much sir” a dit Allan sitting on a bench in no mood for airport security. “Fine then sir I guess toi don’t want to see your youngest son” a dit tallest man handing Allan a picture of Charlie hanging from the ceiling. “Where is he at, what have toi done to him” Allan asked standing up. “If toi would just follow us now sir” a dit the small man pointing the direction to go Allan followed to the car and they left just as the David and Colby got there. “Now where did Allan say he would be” Colby asked passing Allan’s luggage par a bench. “I have no ideal man” a dit David as they moved on. They seemed to chercher everywhere but no Allan so they started asking people “um have toi seen a man mid fifty’s greenish blue eyes wait I think I have a picture of him” asked David taking a picture of Allan, his sons, and himself out of his wallet. “Uhh no” the man answered and walked on to the luggage carts. A girl who walked par just so happened to see the picture “hey I remember that guy he was just sitting over there with that luggage I thought it was pretty weird him not bring it with him when his sons came to get him but I didn’t really think anything of it I was about to tell him he left it but he looked upset so I thought I would just mail it to him if he didn’t come back for it” she a dit pointing at Allan’s luggage over par a bench. “Did toi happen to see what the two guys looked like” asked David. “Umm ya but I think you’ll get a better description from the camera’s than me” she a dit with a smile pointing up at the camera facing them. “Ok thank toi mam” a dit Colby taking some rubber gloves out of his pocket and grabbing at the luggage. “I think we should call don” a dit David as he took his phone out. “Ya man I think your right” a dit Colby checking the luggage for anything then leaving to ask the airport manager for the video feed. While David called don “Eppes” don a dit calmly. “Don we think your father has been abducted par the perps who took Charlie” a dit David all the worry in the world he had going out to the Eppes family right there as Colby picked up a picture that was under the luggage and showed it to David. “WHAT” came dons worried voice. “And we found a picture of Charlie hanging par ropes under his luggage” David added shaking his head.
Back at the bad guys hide out
Charlie heard the door creek open but couldn’t find the words to ask any plus his throat was to dry and to sore until he heard a familiar voice. “Oh my Charlie are toi alright” asked Allan at the horrid sight of seeing his youngest hanging from the ceiling bloodied broken and swollen ‘oh ya he is definitely going to need an ambulance’ Allan thought bitterly. “Daddy” Charlie managed to croak out his now cracked dry lips. “Yes Charlie it’s me daddy’s here hold on one seconde and I will try to get toi down from there ok… Charlie?” a dit Allan working on the not that held Charlie. Once Allan finally got it undone he lowered Charlie to the floor who was to light for comfort and his guess was he was being starved as well as other things. “You’re ok… you’re alright they aren’t going to hurt toi anymore now that I’m here” a dit Allan getting a better look at his youngest and noticed Charlie was probably very dehydrated Allan noticed the bathroom and the sink in which there was a cup Allan took a sip of the water to make sure it was all right for his youngest to drink after he decided it was good enough he refilled the glass and brought it to Charlie. “Can toi sit up son” asked Allan in a concerned voice. When Charlie’s mouth opened but no words came out Allan took that as a no and helped him over to where there was a twin sized lit (more like carried him) and helped him in it and held the cup to his son lips. Just as soon as the water came into contact with his lips Charlie hands shot up and took the cup he started drinking as fast as he could for fear it would be taken away at any moment. Allan saw that and took the cup away “son if toi drink that fast you’re going to get yourself sick drink slow” a dit Allan soothingly holding the cup back up to Charlie’s lips “it’s alright son toi can have as much water as toi want” he started running one of his hands through Charlie’s hair trying to make him plus comfortable that there was at least someone in this house that didn’t mean him any harm. “I’ll be right back” Allan a dit as Charlie’s cup went dry he went into the bath room noticing a hand towel on the side of the bathtub he sat the cup down and grabbed it and got it wet ‘this will wash some of the blood off Charlie’s face to see how bad the wounds are’ he thought and went back into the room with Charlie and put the cool rag on his forehead and started to wash his face and but once done with Charlie’s face Allan gasped “these wounds are fresh what have they been doing to toi my boy” Allan a dit in a hushed tone. “you know son pretty soon we are going to have to take toi a bath get toi all cleaned up so your older brother won’t worry so much but for right now toi can sleep I have no idea how long toi went without it” Allan whispered in Charlie’s ear.
Back at the FBI in DC
“Has anyone found anything there yet” don asked angrily. “Nothing yet sir but where still looking” a dit agent Scott from DC. “Wait don we found something it’s two guys they were talking to him showed him something and then he went with them we think these are the same people who have Charlie” a dit Liz. “Alright then Terry are toi ready to go?” don asked walking out the door. They were both supposed to be posing as potential buyers. “Ya I’m ready let’s go” a dit terry in a sarcastic tone catching up to don. She got into the passenger side and buckled up “nice wheels” she joked and got no response “Don look they both are probably fine they probably doctored a picture ou something like that toi have to relax ou they will never believe that we are Mr. and Mrs. Jackson ok so your temper will not get us even a mile to where we’re supposed to be alright our inside man a dit that it took a lot for him to get us in so the least we can do is keep up appearances ok” she a dit taking the silence and his slight head nod as ‘ok let’s do this’ instead of ‘whatever let’s get this over with’ nod. “Your right terr, I just toi know worry, Charlie looks at the world through a naïve world of his own and that world is one of his stupid numbers and he looks at the world I swear terry it’s like he looks through the world through a pair of child’s eyes and that’s what I worry about that he’ll become plus guarded and their right he is too trusting but I worry that well toi know you’ve met him” a dit don with a sigh and sped up. As they got there the guy set the meeting up with the guy they recognized from the video came out “Mr. and Mrs. Jackson right this way toi can follow us in your car the genius is kind of beat and worn but he thinks he’s twelve which makes him easier to deal with if toi know what I mean” a dit vise with an evil smile on his face. In truth they had no idea what vise meant they nodded their head anyway “Alright meet toi there we have the money with us and my wife will give it to toi once we find are cargo is in working order” a dit don smiling big as if he had just won the lottery. They all then got into their respective cars and drove one car following the others. “You played your part well Don” a dit terry surprised cause she was sure he would lose it when he saw vise. “Yep I’m just wondering what they were talking about him thinking he is twelve and my dad what about him” a dit don not taking his eyes off the road. “Ya I know I’m worried to don” a dit terry looking at the car in front of them. “Ok remember the sûr, sans danger word is Mexico your team will be following us at a sûr, sans danger distance” a dit terry which annoyed don he had only been reminded a hundred times what’s one more.
To Allan and Charlie at the bad guys hide out
“Charlie, son wake up, we are going to have to get toi a bath now, toi have been sleeping for over four hours” Allan a dit worry plain in his voice Charlie hadn’t moved once in his sleep which disturbed Allan Charlie always moves in his sleep so shaking him a bit (Charlie laying there covered in blood was just too much at the moment and he wanted to get it off him now at least in his opinion.) Charlie opened his eyes and looked around “d-daddy” Charlie a dit and wrapped his arms around Allan’s waist “d-don’t don’t leave me” Charlie a dit in a nervous tone “p-please” he kept stuttering out. This startled Allan his son was begging him not to leave he didn’t know what to think “it’s alright son I’m not going anywhere can toi stand” he asked running a hand through his hair. Charlie sat up then laid back down “hurts” he a dit about to try again. “That’s ok I’ll help toi after I get the bath water started” a dit Allan getting up. Charlie grabbed his hand “where are toi going daddy don’t leave me please” begged Charlie. “I will be right back I’m going to run the bath water then I will come back and help toi into it ok” a dit Allan as Charlie hesitantly let go. ‘I wonder what they did to him to make act like this’ Allan thought to himself as he started to run the bath water “ok Charlie let me help toi get undressed” Allan a dit walking back into the room. “I don’t want to take a bath I want to go home” Charlie a dit sleepily. “I know toi do son I know but right now we will have to get toi all cleaned up” a dit Allan ‘and see if toi have an infection anywhere’ Allan mumbled to himself then searching for something for Charlie to wear besides those bloodied pants and ripped and bloody shirt. “Daddy could I uh could I uh maybe have uh” Charlie looked undecided on whether ou not he could have what he was asking for “never mind” he a dit looking around the room as if he had Lost something. “Charlie what did toi need son I will be happy to get it for you” Allan a dit opening up doors to the closet and finally finding some clothes that looked a little big for him but good enough to wear. “You sure it’s ok” Charlie asked hesitantly looking up at Allan. “Yes Charlie now go ahead and ask I won’t bite” Allan a dit with a smile. He was about to ruffle Charlie’s hair before Charlie jerked back “please I’m sorry I won’t do it again I’ll be a good boy please I’m sorry” Charlie a dit putting his hand up to his head in a protective gesture. It startled Allan to realize his son actually thought he was going to hurt him was cœur, coeur breaking and he frowned “son I’m not going to hurt toi I just going to touch your head” Allan a dit now backing off and putting the clothes into the bathroom. “I’m sorry daddy I didn’t know” a dit Charlie putting his head down and waited for Allan to try again but he didn’t. “that’s ok son” a dit Allan looking at Charlie’s wounds a badly busted lip a broken nose a badly swollen shut black eye and these red dots as if something were attached to his head at some point and broken fingers the rest he didn’t know so he decided to déplacer on “ok bath time can toi stand up” Allan came over to help him. Charlie nodded but made no attempt to stand as Allan noticed the odd shape of his left leg “that’s alright son I’ll help you, could toi straighten out your right leg” Allan asked taking off Charlie’s pants, Charlie flinched but made no other movement except a moan when the pant leg came down around his left leg Allan then put the pants in the floor. “Ok now for the chemise I’m going to leave your boxeur, boxer on just in case they come in ou there’s a camera on in here ou I don’t know” a dit Allan looking around. Charlie just nodded and proceeded to try to sit up with a moan as Allan took his chemise off he saw the bruise and gasped “what did they do to toi Charlie” Allan asked looking Charlie over for signs of further injuries “ok toi just lay there let me find something to help carry toi in there” Allan a dit looking around the room and found nothing. “Alright Charlie I’m going to have to carry toi in there” Allan a dit picking up Charlie ‘he is to light I hope your prepared Charlie cause as soon as I get toi accueil toi are going to eat a 4 coursed meal all par yourself’ Allan a dit to himself. They got into the bathroom, and once Allan tried to put Charlie into the water he struggled “NO, NO I’M SORRY please don’t drowned me I’ll be a good freak not bad” Charlie begged and grabbed onto Allan chemise “I’ll be good I-I’ll be good” he repeated. Allan stopped shocked at what Charlie just a dit “Charlie toi are not a freak alright and don’t toi ever think that, it’s ok I’m not going to hurt toi just a bath” Allan a dit startled as Charlie nodded his head “do toi still not want a bath ou is it ok, toi don’t have to say anything just nod your head if toi still want to” feeling a nod against him he put Charlie in the warm water. Allan look around for the cup and found it he gave Charlie some water to drink and after Charlie finished it, he put Charlie’s head back slowly as not to freak him out and he washed the blood out of Charlie’s hair and off his body he moaned every now in then when Allan washed a spot over one of his wounds but was good didn’t even flinch any plus when Allan ruffled his hair. Once Allan decide that Charlie was clean enough he looked for a towel. Just as Allan found a towel he heard the door open he quickly came out of the bathroom and shut the door to the bathroom were Charlie was. Which made Charlie panic “daddy don’t leave” he a dit and Allan opened the door a crack “I’ll be right back Charlie stay quiet till I get back” a dit Allan and getting a nod he closed the door again. As he saw the bad guys that abducted him and Charlie with two others a male and a female “where’s the freak” josh asked Allan who looked angry at him. “my son is not a freak and call him anything and toi may find my shoe somewhere toi will not like it” a dit Allan looking at the female and male “who are they” asked Allan stepping in the way of the bathroom door towel still in hand. “We have some people here that are interested in him they really want to see him” a dit Benny in a mocking tone. “Well they will have to come back later wont they” a dit Allan angrily. “Why don’t toi déplacer out of our way old man” a dit Nathan walking the two people to the door and benny drug Allan out the way and held the struggling Allan so the three could enter. “Where is he” asked Mrs. Jackson aka terry then they entered and in the bathtub was a boy who had a hand over his mouth to keep himself from talking the bathtub filled with red liquid it didn’t take them 2 secondes to realize that the red water was a blood and water mix. “This is him the boy genius” a dit vice looking at Charlie angrily but Charlie just kept a hand over his mouth not saying a word. “You say he thinks he’s twelve” asked Mr. Jackson aka don going over to the tub and squatting down beside it. “Yes he does salut freak how old are you” asked Nathan walking over toward the tub. Charlie didn’t say anything just kept his hand over his mouth and looked up at the guy. The guy looked down at Charlie “I asked how old are you” he a dit pulling the back of his hair. Charlie uncovered his mouth but didn’t say anything he just stared at the guy. “I a dit tell me how old toi are” he a dit and grabbed one of Charlie’s broken finger. “Ok, ok 14 just stop I want to go accueil please I don’t know any of toi I want my brother, dad, and mom” Charlie a dit moaning out as the bad guy let go of his finger. “Ok so he thinks he is 14 new tactics are in order” a dit Mr. Jackson aka don “hey buddy how toi doing huh” don a dit about to pat him on the head but he jerked away. “Don’t touch me” Charlie a dit and backed away as far as the tub and the broken ribs and leg would allow don then stood up and Charlie turned his head to the side expecting a slap ou coup de poing to the face “please don’t hurt me” Charlie a dit and don bent down to Charlie’s level again “please” Charlie repeated as don got closer. “I’m not going to hurt toi buddy” don a dit lifting up Charlie’s face tenderly so as not to irritate the wounds. Charlie nodded his head and let don look at his wounds. “Looks like your good to go to Mexico” a dit don looking at terry “ya it does” terry a dit going over to the tub where Charlie was and bending down beside don “how are toi doing Charlie” she asked looking down at the water. “And toi know the best thing about the kid, toi can hit him as much as toi want and he won’t hit toi back” a dit Nathan going over to Charlie to prove his point and hit him as hard as he could. While in the other room the FBI was breaching the building. Mr. Jackson aka don stood up hearing the bangs from the other rooms “FBI freeze” Mr. Jackson yelled taking off his mask to reveal himself and took out his gun “and if I were toi I wouldn’t touch my brother again” don a dit angrily and hit Nathan as josh pointed a gun at Charlie and benny brought Allan in at gun point as well. Terry took off her mask and pulled out her gun “if toi shoot him I shoot you” a dit terry raising her gun to the person that had Allan “I know toi don’t want to die here so I suggest toi put your weapon down” she a dit as Allan kicked the guy and went over to don. “Donnie” Allan a dit hesitantly. “Ya dad I know just stay behind me” a dit don “josh tanner let go of my brother Charlie don’t move” don a dit as he stepped closer hearing all the noise’s in the other rooms heading toward this one. “DAVID, COLBY, NIKKI LIZ IN HERE” yelled don taking another step closer “you’re not getting out of here josh so if toi want to live I suggest toi let him go and get down on the ground” don took one plus step he was a least three feet away from Charlie and the gun. Charlie nose was still bleeding from the assault from earlier and he had passed out. “I don’t think so little Donnie I’m getting out of here and you’re going to let me if toi don’t want poor baby freak here to get killed” josh a dit poking Charlie’s rib cage with the gun enticing a moan from him. The other FBI came into the room weapon drawn “FREEZE FBI” yelled David as Colby came up behind him “FREEZE” he a dit as they both noticed Charlie “don back in there is some VCR tapes all labeled Charlie whoa” asked David to all of which don nodded. “Get down on the ground Tanner we have every one of your team in custody I suggest toi give up the game as well if toi want a fair trial” a dit Colby coming closer. “I don’t think so agent this is between me and them so I suggest toi all leave” josh a dit his finger twitching on the trigger. “Ya right tanner Charlie is like a little brother to all of us and we are not about to let toi end his life” a dit David and Colby walked to were don was. All of a sudden there was a shot and josh fell to the ground they all looked to see who pulled the trigger and saw don with a smoking gun and in a matter of secondes don was par Charlie’s side checking for a pulse on finding one he pulled Charlie out of the water “he is so light” he a dit to himself “WE NEED AN ambulance IN HERE” don yelled and heard another moan from Charlie as Charlie’s head started to move. “Owe what happened” Charlie’s words were slurred and every one had to struggle to hear him. “Hey buddy how are toi doing” don a dit in a soft voice. “Hurts” Charlie mumbled out and started to close his eyes again. Don shook him softly “no buddy stay awake for me a little while longer ok” don a dit wondering ‘friendship dynamics he worked on that when he was fourteen’ don a dit to himself “Umm how has your friendship paper coming” he asked still holding Charlie. “Wow that bad huh” a dit Charlie smiling weakly eyes still closed. Don was confused “what do toi mean” he asked looking at all the other agents and his father. Charlie opened his eyes and looked at Don “Don the only time toi ask about my math is when I’m hurt severely and what’s with friendship dynamics I haven’t done that one in like 11 years so why not the Eppes convergence ou something plus recent” Charlie mumbled out sleepily. “Wait how old are toi buddy” asked don plus confused as his brother was 33 then 12 then 14 and now something else. “Funny don just subtract 5 years from your age and toi get mine” Charlie started whispering and closed his eyes again. Allan came over there about this time as did dons team “Charlie hold still” a dit Allan and started to put pants and a chemise on him to all of which he moaned. After he got done dressing Charlie Allan looked him over “son can toi tell us how old toi are” he asked grabbing onto Charlie’s hand. “what why what happened” asked Charlie opening his eyes again and noticed all the people in the room “who the hello” Charlie smiled weakly as he looked over at his father not wanting to be in trouble for saying something else and stopped himself “I’m Charlie” he a dit to them and they looked at him with confusion “did I do something weird sorry I’m a math professor at CalSci” Charlie a dit tiredly and smiled weakly and closed his eyes then noticed his leg and that he was all wet and his fingers hurt and he had pain everywhere. “How old are toi Charlie we really need to know” a dit don impatiently and worried and shook him a little to get him out of his own world. “Twenty-five ok there now can someone please explain what happened” Charlie asked just as impatient as don did but a bit plus politer as the medics came in with a gurney Charlie looked at don startled “what happened don I really don’t remember who are all these people” he asked scared as the guys that had kidnapped them came into view “I thought those guys were in jail how what oh never mind” Charlie a dit to confused and too tired to care at the moment. “Dad toi can ride with him I will come with the FBI” don a dit as he followed terry to the van and let people from her department take the sports car. At the hospital the nurse’s rolled Charlie in he had already passed out again and Allan was still beside him when they wheeled him into the hospital and when they came to the employee’s/sick/ ou injured only room they stopped him “sorry sir toi can’t come back here” and they themselves went to the room and followed them to where Charlie had been brought. Don came up beside Allan “he will be alright dad” he a dit and put a hand on Allan’s shoulder Allan just nodded and let don lead him to a chair.
The computer turned back on to a new video this was feed a block away from Charlie and dons house it showed a teen leaving a child behind at a traverser, croix walk and before turning around to see if the younger one was following he turned the corner it was obvious that the older boy was mad at the younger one. Then there where a group of older boys that surrounded the younger one don recognized the group Josh Tanner, Benny Frist, Nathan Blue, and Victor Tyce (and it didn’t take the agents that long to figure out that the younger boy was in fact Charlie and the one that left him was don) when Charlie found himself surrounded he looked over his shoulder (they figured to see if don was anywhere in sight but they weren’t sure) when he and the older boys where certain that Charlie’s big brother wasn’t around they started to push him and that’s when the audio came to the tape. “You’re a freak I’m surprised that you’re real mom and dad didn’t just throw toi away instead of giving toi to the Eppes family poor them probably didn’t even know what they were getting themselves into” a dit one of the boys pushing Charlie down. “My big brother is right around that corner if I yell he will be right here and he will beat toi and you’re Friends up” a dit Charlie getting back up putting emphases on big brother. “You’re so stupid toi actually believe that toi could be one of us normal kids when you’re nothing but a seconde hand child that the Eppes’s got when they found toi in an alley” a dit another and pushed Charlie back down. “I am not adopted my mom and dad a dit so I can’t help that I’m smarter than all toi my brain just--” Charlie didn’t have time to finish as a kick was enough to make him gasp for air. “So what toi calling us stupid now is that it freak” he bent down like he was going to whisper something in Charlie’s ear and yelled in his ear instead “WE ARE WITH KIDS ARE OWN AGE A FREAK LIKE toi ISN’T” he added another kick to Charlie’s stomach. “Stop” came from Charlie in a form of a gasp as this time the blows did not stop coming. “What was that freak did toi say something” a dit the tallest one which the agents figure out to be josh and gave Charlie a huge kick to the gut. “DoNnIe” was Charlie choked up response as he tried to turn away from all the blows. After about a few minutes when don didn’t montrer up they replied “oh looks like super Donnie isn’t coming to save a freak of an alien little brother like you” a dit victor. “pLeAsE DON-hon-NIE” a dit Charlie then whispered in which the agents actually had to turn up the sound to hear “where are toi Donnie” added Charlie with his nose dripping blood. The four boys took off Charlie’s bag and threw it in the ditch in some mud and started tormenting him again “kid this is the reason Donnie isn’t here he doesn’t want to be seen any plus helping a little freak like you” a dit josh poking Charlie in the head real hard making him canard his head then he picked Charlie up par his hair in a standing potion “see toi don’t know this but toi have been plus like a chore to him one he desperately once to get rid of but he would never say that to toi because toi would be running to mommy ou daddy to tell on him like that” he a dit punching Charlie in the stomach as the video flashed to don’s part he had just left Charlie behind and was now waiting for him par a convenient store across the rue from their house toi could hear him tapping his foot impatiently “come on Charlie come on” a dit don now looking at his watch waited another ten minutes and started walking back to where he left Charlie. It flashed back to Charlie after Charlie had just got punched in stomach and quickly raise his arms to block other shots as the bully’s let go of Charlie’s hair and grabbed onto his hands and brought them roughly behind his back and started punching him again and again “please stop, stop what do toi want” Charlie gasped out as the kids continued. “We want toi to learn you’re lesson freak and stop out shining everyone” a dit Nathan Blue kicking Charlie just as they heard feet stomping up behind them. “Donnie” Charlie cried out as the older boys let go of him and ran off while Charlie fell to the ground. The other kids took off running at the sight of don, who was about to chase them down when he saw how bloodied Charlie was and don bent down to see how bad it was “buddy what did those guys do” asked don to his bleeding little brother who was lying on the ground. “Donnie my books” a dit Charlie pointing at his muddy book bag. “Here buddy I’ll get your livres and stuff ok toi just lay right there till I help toi up” a dit don walking over to the ditch where the bag had been throwing and going back to his brother as soon as possible. “Here I got you” don a dit picking up Charlie before he could try to getting up on his own. Charlie was whispering in Dons ear and they yet again had to turn up the volume to hear what he said. As Charlie was picked up par his brother he kept apologizing for being a freak and for being adopted and being a chore and he was sorry for being the worst little brother in the world. To all of which Don stopped dead in his tracks and looked back to where the boys had ran and toi could tell what kind of thought had just ran through his mind when he looked back at that direction he wanted nothing plus than to kick there asses but right at that moment Charlie needed him so he did the best thing any big brother would do in that situation and insulted Charlie “listen Charlie I didn’t think toi of all people would be stupid enough to listen to that crap toi are the best little bro in the universe all right and toi are not adopted cause I remember having to feed toi when mom sat toi in my lap coming accueil from the hospital with toi and everything ok so if I ever hear toi call yourself a freak, chore, adopted, ou anything like that again then I’m going to coup de poing toi myself cause your none of those things toi are a genius and smart and toi should hear what some of the girls call toi all of which are good things Charlie, so never listen to them they are stupid idiots that wouldn’t know 2+2=4 if they heard it from their mothers ok” a dit don. Feeling Charlie nod against him he started to walk again then stopped abruptly in which the sudden look of worry past on don’s face as he stopped dead in his tracks and pulled Charlie away from his chest “buddy toi ok” he asked laying Charlie on the ground. Charlie nodded weakly and don lifted up his chemise and cursed as he saw bruise’s up and down Charlie’s 11 an old frame he checked Charlie’s breathing it was weak and that worried don “you’re going to be fine Charlie” Don a dit as he lifted up Charlie from the ground and ran accueil as quick as he could. The footage on the computer switching from rue camera to rue camera as don ran until he ran into the craftsman accueil a few minutes later an ambulance pulled up and two paramedic’s came out with a stretcher and went into the house and came back out with a now fully awake Charlie holding dons hand evidently a little too tight judging par dons looks then the ambulance pulled out of the drive and two worried parents went out to the car and followed the ambulance. don glanced over and smiled at his agent they all had worried looks on their faces “don’t worry guys all he had was some bruised ribs and the breath knocked out of him which is the reason for his passing out in the first place and a few scrapes here and there and those guys went to prison and are still there they have thirty years there to think about what they did to him” a dit don. As a new tape switch on Don remembered this jour he, and everyone else in fourth heure math was really mad at Charlie cause Charlie reminded Mr. Berks the math teacher about the Monday test in which no surprise perfect little Charlie made a 100% on which made people hate him plus and not to mention he got his older brother grounded again because of his blabber mouth. ‘protecting Charlie is getting harder with his prefect little reminding teacher act I can’t stand him any longer I wish he would just shut his mouth sometimes’ don thought bitterly. Then there was a knock on his door and before he could even say ‘come in’ the door wedged open and a curly headed boy came in “Donnie I’m sorry I got toi in trouble but I brought toi these there homemade biscuits, cookies mom and I made them she a dit I could only have two so toi can have both of them I really am sorry I didn’t know it would get toi in trouble really I didn’t” Charlie a dit kind of sounding broking up about it. The stupid chiot pout broke through dons anger “it’s ok buddy and thanks for these but suivant time we keep it a secret and not tell mom about my fights ok” don a dit with a smile and ruffled Charlie’s curly hair. Charlie smiled a little and nodded “ok but I’m still sorry I just thought it was cool you’re like a superhero Donnie toi montrer up in the nick of time if toi wouldn’t of the mass of the guy would have crushed me and the power of the arm muscle’s would have broken my ribs see I made a diagram” Charlie a dit with a bigger smile. “then lets both be glad I did ok buddy now trying to study go down stairs and watch TV for me and tell me what happened in the baseball tournament like who wins and stuff” don a dit as Charlie ran out the room and down the stairs “well maybe I can stand him a little bit longer I wonder how much longer before he can protect himself” don a dit out loud then smiled at the cookies. “all well Charlie can be annoying but he is a great brother but I’ll never tell him that but he does try… harder than anyone I know” don laughed and stopped laughing as his mom entered the room “so toi don’t want your little baby brother to know toi think he is a great brother well guess what mister” Margret reaching from behind a shelf for a video camera “it’s gonna cost ya” she a dit laughing. “What that’s invading my privacy mom give me that camera right now” a dit don mocking an angry expression. “Nope I think I’m going to use this against toi one day” Margret a dit smiling evilly. “Black mailing your own son that’s low mom now gives me that tape” a dit don grabbing for it. “Nope” Margret a dit running down stairs and the tape turned off. The agent’s best guess was that she hid it somewhere. And the evil voice was back “it’s amazing your little brother is so trusting I mean from the child capuche, hotte he’s had I would figure he would be locked up in the insane asylum oh and agents toi should hear what we have kind, sweet, big hearted Charlie saying about himself now he thinks he’s a freak and we all agree with him” then the computer shut off again. “DAMMIT did we get anything at all” don asked impatiently. “Ya boss I went through the students not of Charlie’s but of your old high schools there a four guys I like for this cause of what he a dit I don’t think he is a student of Charlie’s but a former class mate these four right here got kicked out of high school because they beat up a minor in other words Charlie and went to prison for an assault all tried as adults and all went to the same prison and all escaped together last month” a dit Nikki out loud handing Colby David and don each a file of theirs. “Here they are Josh Tanner, Benny Frist, Nathan Blue, and Victor Tyce which I believe is vice” a dit Nikki. “Alright good then work on that Colby with me we are going to the prison where they escaped” a dit Don walking out of the room all off a sudden his phone rang. “Eppes”
Female: salut don it’s me terry is Charlie with you
Don: no he was abducted about a week il y a “he a dit while looking down”
Terry: that’s what I was afraid of
Don truly intrigued now: what why did toi hear something
Terry: no, no it plus I saw something in an add on the computer
Don: what did toi see was it important to the investigation?
Terry: I’d say so if Charlie is umm book a flight to DC as soon as possible ok don because I have something toi really should see
Don: ok I’ll be there with Colby David Liz and Nikki there part of my team
Don at the airport boarding the plane everything packed up tight as carry on it wasn’t till 8:05 that the plane landed from LA to DC and terry was there to meet them. “Hey Don hope toi had some rest on the plane cause where we’re going to is undercover haut, retour au début secrete and the whole thing toi know” terry a dit while holding an ad for the thing. “Really I don’t think this is just accident they want us to see this” a dit don in an angry voice and handed the flyer to Colby and he passed it on to the rest of the team. “This is wrong man” a dit Colby looking back to the ad. “Which is why I called toi down at first I thought it was some kinda of sick joke and that they somehow got a picture of Charlie but that’s not the case” a dit terry taking the picture of Charlie gagged and hanging par the wrist from the ceiling bloodied from Nikki. “As soon as I get my hands on them I’m going to tear them apart” a dit Don angrily. “This is why I called toi guys I need someone under cover with me and I thought don but I don’t think he should now” a dit terry as they all got into the car. “I’m fine I will be fine” Don a dit as he got in the front and they drove off.
Back to the bad guys Sunday morning
“Wake up freak” a dit josh aka Archie as vise splashed water on his face. Charlie woke with a gasp moaned from all his injuries every time he moved it set a course of pain through his body, one of his eyes swollen shut, he had only a few of his finger nails left, and one of his toe nails. His nose he couldn’t tell but he figured it was broken, just like most of his fingers, a few of his ribs, his left leg, and a few of his toes. He had burns on his arms from cigarette’s, on both his arms were cut marks, and some whip marks on his back and side, his eyes where blood shot from being shocked frequently and around his lips where tinged blue from being drowned and brought back, and he was starved he didn’t eat for a week and he got one cup of water every other jour and that jour wasn’t today. All he really knew was he was in pain he was pretty sure that dons team was hot on the trail but to far behind and pretty sure they were about to be too late because the girl was coming today first thing in the morning he was sure that it was Sunday at least 86% sure. “I a dit wake up” a dit Archie and whipped Charlie. “I’m-I ’ma-awake” Charlie stuttered out. Archie hit him again with the whip as if he was trying to make sure that Charlie wasn’t sleep talking hearing a gasp he let well enough alone. “alright where is he” asked the unknown female still Charlie couldn’t see her even though the blind fold was off she was standing right outside the door was the reason why. It was weird but Charlie was plus excited than ever the thought of leaving this place had him wrapped up in hope and if she wanted him for something then she would actually have to make him better before she could make him do anything. “he is right through here Miss. Bell” they a dit as the door open, then all Charlie heard was a gasp from the female as she rounded the back of him to get a better sight of the front of him. “What I thought I a dit I would buy him and this is the way he is coming I think I’ll have a look at the map now I don’t want something broken” a dit Miss. cloche, bell who Charlie could see perfectly now she was dressed all in black. All Charlie’s hope was crushed ‘damn so close’ Charlie thought bitterly as they were about to leave the room “wait” Charlie mumbled which made them all stop and turn around. “What did he just say” asked Miss. bell. “Wait” he repeated a little stronger this time “what did toi need” he wasn’t sure if this would work but he would give it a try. Miss. cloche, bell did not know to say “ummm I was just going to buy toi but toi are to bent out of shape as so toi might as well be dead toi had ill treatment I can see that much but you’re not going to help much with what I had in mind I guess I could buy your body and take all your organs out and sell them on the black market but that’s about all I can do” she a dit confused. Charlie started to think maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all so he looked down ‘so much for this plan’ he a dit to himself as she continued telling him all the things she could do with him when he died which was starting to make him feel sick. “This is not going good” Charlie mumbled to himself. “Well I think I’ll see that map now” she a dit walking out the room which Charlie was grateful for. Then he heard the door open again and some plus gasps from a woman and a man “oh come on in he isn’t that bad are toi freak” a dit vise punching him in the side making him yelp. “I don’t know if this is what we are looking for it’s plus we are looking for a child this is a kid in his mid-teens a little childlike in the face but not what where looking for” a dit the man as he touched Charlie’s back which made him yelp. “Do toi have another one this one seems like it’s a wimp too” he a dit again touching his back hearing another yelp and drew back his hand. “Yes we do but not with us” they a dit about to leave the room. Charlie on hearing they might go after a child decided to take this as a time to save someone else “WAIT I-I’m actually twel-twelve just all the bruise’s and broken Bones make me look older than I am” Charlie lied. “Oh sweetie you’re just not what we are looking for we are looking for plus 4-5 an olds sorry” a dit the woman and patted him on the head. And that’s when he heard the familiar door close and he was left in the room alone again.
Back at the FBI in DC
“So let me get this straight he has been here in DC the whole time” a dit don irritated. “Not the whole time some of the time he was in Colorado” she a dit as dons phone rang. “Eppes” Don a dit in a still irritated tone. “Is this agent Eppes” a dit the voice. “Yes who is this” asked don looking at terry. “You can call me vice” a dit the voice. “Victor toi had better give him back ou I will beat toi just like I beat you, Josh Tanner, Benny Frist, and Nathan Blue up in 11th grade give him back now” a dit don angrily. “Oh Donnie I knew that toi remember us but as of right now your little brother’s life is in our hands so I suggest toi keep your mouth shut” a dit victor calmly. “What do toi want Tyce” asked don controlling the anger best he could. “I want toi to turn on your laptop and open your e-mail and to let toi know your dad should be calling toi anytime now because I sent him the same thing” a dit vice in a happy tone then hung up. “Dammit I forgot about my dad I need to call him” don a dit pulling back out his cell phone just as his dad was calling. “Hey dad” don a dit in a not too thrilled voice.
Allan: Donnie where is your brother I need to talk to him right now (he a dit in a very worried tone)
Don: uhh salut dad I think toi need to sit down did toi check your e-mail (don a dit sitting down as well and getting out his laptop)
Allan: yes that’s why I’m calling Donnie did toi know Charlie was missing if so I’m wondering why toi didn’t call me (Allan sounded mad and was mad)
Don: ya dad and I didn’t want toi to worry I was going to tell toi but I forgot once the kidnappers called I got distracted after wards cause they sent us video’s dad the video’s where of me and Charlie as kids. (Don a dit in a depressed and sympathetic tone)
Allan: Donnie how would they get this stuff (Allan asked looking at his laptop screen)
Don: hold on dad what did they send to toi (his tone worried and serious)
Allan: a lot of pictures of Charlie and not happy one’s (he a dit while turning off his computer unable to look at the pictures any longer)
Don: I’m pulling up my e-mail (he gasped not even noticing he did the picture’s Charlie expressive eye where montrer pain and a lot of it he looked as if he got into a car accident and the car had definitely won there where wires attached to his head to and a few looked as if they were inserted in there to) dad its ok he is going to be fine I am going to find him
Allan: I know Donnie, and I’m booking a flight accueil right now
Don: dad.
Allan: Donnie don’t toi even try to talk me out of it your brother needs me he needs us both once toi get him so I’m coming home.
Don sighed: alright but dad we’re in DC that’s where the kidnappers brought him there selling him dad here in DC me and terry are going to go undercover to help find him
Allan: but Donnie if they know who I am don’t they know who toi are they must know what we both look like
Don: they do but I have a plan remember the micro mask case well that’s what we’re going to use
Allan: do toi have any suspects yet (he asked in a very serious and a little hopeful tone)
Don: sorry dad I can’t say any plus about the case but I will tell toi I was people we went to high school with Charlie sent them to jail.
Allan: was it Benny Frist, Nathan Blue, Josh Tanner, and Victor Tyce (Allan gasped out)
Don: ya dad how wait toi still remember them
Allan: well it’s not every jour your 11 an old has to go to the stand and point out his attackers (Allan a dit a shiver running up his spine at remembering Charlie having to go to the hospital after getting beat up par the four boys)
Don: ya dad and we have plus than just suspicions they called me dad
Allan heard a girl in the back ground saying something to don in which don sighed to. “dad I have to go we are getting ready for the undercover work it will take at least a jour to prep for so we will probably get started with it tomorrow morning see toi once toi get here” a dit don in a frowning tone. “See in about several hours because I have already booked my flight to DC and I’m about to broad the plane, call toi once I get there” Allan a dit hanging up. Don and terry went to the FBI undercover office to get prepped.
To Charlie at the bad guys hide out
Charlie groaned still hanging up par his wrist and blind folded again “hey the freaks awake” yelled vise ‘accidently’ bumping into him on his way out of the room. “Donnie please help” Charlie a dit groaning the electric wires attached to his head just like when he was a child not just attached to his head but put in his head par a brain specialist in the memory part making him confused and forget how old he was and most his memories at times right now he thought he was back at high school being bullied again ou sometimes he would think he was four and back at the testing place. “Donnie please” Charlie a dit louder “DONNIE I’M SORRY PLEASE, PLEASE I’LL STOP BEING A FREAK please Donnie I’m sorry” Charlie shouted at first then finished quietly. The bad guys came in angrily “WE a dit SHUT UP” they yelled at him angrily. “Please I promise I’ll do your homework for a hole mois please I want to go home” a dit Charlie begging. “We a dit shut up toi stupid freak” a dit josh hitting him. “Please I’ll be good boy n-n-not bad freak” Charlie was stuttering now terrified of other consequences. “That’s better how old are toi dweeb” a dit Nathan blue grabbing the back of Charlie’s hair. “I’m, I’m Tw- twelve…… could I could I please have some- some water please” Charlie gasped out in a begging tone his throat really dry and he kept smacking his lips together to try to get some moisture in his mouth. “Hmm… could he have some water some water” a dit the josh in a mocking tone “why of course toi can…… tomorrow” he a dit an evil smile on his face. “But I haven’t had water in almost two days please m-m-my throat is really dry just a little bit a half a cup a quarter of a cup please just some” Charlie was purely begging now “please” he repeated hoping it would help change their mind. “Let us think about it” a dit vise as they all left the room. Charlie kept smacking his lips trying to get whatever remaining moisture he had left to soothe his aching throat he moaned when he realized there was barely enough to drool out much less soothe a dry throat.
At the air port
Allan picked up his phone and dialed Dons number (ring, ring, ring) “Eppes” a dit don in an unfamiliar voice. “Ya Donnie is that you” asked Allan just to make sure it was his oldest son. “Ya dad it’s me it’s this stuff they put on me to make my voice unrecognizable I’ll have David and Colby pick toi up ok” a dit don telling something to his team. “I’ll be here once they get here Donnie I’m going to be inside on a bench par the front doors ok” a dit Allan with a sigh. “Ya ok dad see toi once toi get here bye” don a dit in a rushed tone. “Ok son bye” Allan a dit completely understanding. Just soon after Allan hung up with don two men came up too him “sir I’m going to have to ask toi to come with us” a dit one of the unknown men. “Umm I think I’m going to stay right here where I’m at thank toi very much sir” a dit Allan sitting on a bench in no mood for airport security. “Fine then sir I guess toi don’t want to see your youngest son” a dit tallest man handing Allan a picture of Charlie hanging from the ceiling. “Where is he at, what have toi done to him” Allan asked standing up. “If toi would just follow us now sir” a dit the small man pointing the direction to go Allan followed to the car and they left just as the David and Colby got there. “Now where did Allan say he would be” Colby asked passing Allan’s luggage par a bench. “I have no ideal man” a dit David as they moved on. They seemed to chercher everywhere but no Allan so they started asking people “um have toi seen a man mid fifty’s greenish blue eyes wait I think I have a picture of him” asked David taking a picture of Allan, his sons, and himself out of his wallet. “Uhh no” the man answered and walked on to the luggage carts. A girl who walked par just so happened to see the picture “hey I remember that guy he was just sitting over there with that luggage I thought it was pretty weird him not bring it with him when his sons came to get him but I didn’t really think anything of it I was about to tell him he left it but he looked upset so I thought I would just mail it to him if he didn’t come back for it” she a dit pointing at Allan’s luggage over par a bench. “Did toi happen to see what the two guys looked like” asked David. “Umm ya but I think you’ll get a better description from the camera’s than me” she a dit with a smile pointing up at the camera facing them. “Ok thank toi mam” a dit Colby taking some rubber gloves out of his pocket and grabbing at the luggage. “I think we should call don” a dit David as he took his phone out. “Ya man I think your right” a dit Colby checking the luggage for anything then leaving to ask the airport manager for the video feed. While David called don “Eppes” don a dit calmly. “Don we think your father has been abducted par the perps who took Charlie” a dit David all the worry in the world he had going out to the Eppes family right there as Colby picked up a picture that was under the luggage and showed it to David. “WHAT” came dons worried voice. “And we found a picture of Charlie hanging par ropes under his luggage” David added shaking his head.
Back at the bad guys hide out
Charlie heard the door creek open but couldn’t find the words to ask any plus his throat was to dry and to sore until he heard a familiar voice. “Oh my Charlie are toi alright” asked Allan at the horrid sight of seeing his youngest hanging from the ceiling bloodied broken and swollen ‘oh ya he is definitely going to need an ambulance’ Allan thought bitterly. “Daddy” Charlie managed to croak out his now cracked dry lips. “Yes Charlie it’s me daddy’s here hold on one seconde and I will try to get toi down from there ok… Charlie?” a dit Allan working on the not that held Charlie. Once Allan finally got it undone he lowered Charlie to the floor who was to light for comfort and his guess was he was being starved as well as other things. “You’re ok… you’re alright they aren’t going to hurt toi anymore now that I’m here” a dit Allan getting a better look at his youngest and noticed Charlie was probably very dehydrated Allan noticed the bathroom and the sink in which there was a cup Allan took a sip of the water to make sure it was all right for his youngest to drink after he decided it was good enough he refilled the glass and brought it to Charlie. “Can toi sit up son” asked Allan in a concerned voice. When Charlie’s mouth opened but no words came out Allan took that as a no and helped him over to where there was a twin sized lit (more like carried him) and helped him in it and held the cup to his son lips. Just as soon as the water came into contact with his lips Charlie hands shot up and took the cup he started drinking as fast as he could for fear it would be taken away at any moment. Allan saw that and took the cup away “son if toi drink that fast you’re going to get yourself sick drink slow” a dit Allan soothingly holding the cup back up to Charlie’s lips “it’s alright son toi can have as much water as toi want” he started running one of his hands through Charlie’s hair trying to make him plus comfortable that there was at least someone in this house that didn’t mean him any harm. “I’ll be right back” Allan a dit as Charlie’s cup went dry he went into the bath room noticing a hand towel on the side of the bathtub he sat the cup down and grabbed it and got it wet ‘this will wash some of the blood off Charlie’s face to see how bad the wounds are’ he thought and went back into the room with Charlie and put the cool rag on his forehead and started to wash his face and but once done with Charlie’s face Allan gasped “these wounds are fresh what have they been doing to toi my boy” Allan a dit in a hushed tone. “you know son pretty soon we are going to have to take toi a bath get toi all cleaned up so your older brother won’t worry so much but for right now toi can sleep I have no idea how long toi went without it” Allan whispered in Charlie’s ear.
Back at the FBI in DC
“Has anyone found anything there yet” don asked angrily. “Nothing yet sir but where still looking” a dit agent Scott from DC. “Wait don we found something it’s two guys they were talking to him showed him something and then he went with them we think these are the same people who have Charlie” a dit Liz. “Alright then Terry are toi ready to go?” don asked walking out the door. They were both supposed to be posing as potential buyers. “Ya I’m ready let’s go” a dit terry in a sarcastic tone catching up to don. She got into the passenger side and buckled up “nice wheels” she joked and got no response “Don look they both are probably fine they probably doctored a picture ou something like that toi have to relax ou they will never believe that we are Mr. and Mrs. Jackson ok so your temper will not get us even a mile to where we’re supposed to be alright our inside man a dit that it took a lot for him to get us in so the least we can do is keep up appearances ok” she a dit taking the silence and his slight head nod as ‘ok let’s do this’ instead of ‘whatever let’s get this over with’ nod. “Your right terr, I just toi know worry, Charlie looks at the world through a naïve world of his own and that world is one of his stupid numbers and he looks at the world I swear terry it’s like he looks through the world through a pair of child’s eyes and that’s what I worry about that he’ll become plus guarded and their right he is too trusting but I worry that well toi know you’ve met him” a dit don with a sigh and sped up. As they got there the guy set the meeting up with the guy they recognized from the video came out “Mr. and Mrs. Jackson right this way toi can follow us in your car the genius is kind of beat and worn but he thinks he’s twelve which makes him easier to deal with if toi know what I mean” a dit vise with an evil smile on his face. In truth they had no idea what vise meant they nodded their head anyway “Alright meet toi there we have the money with us and my wife will give it to toi once we find are cargo is in working order” a dit don smiling big as if he had just won the lottery. They all then got into their respective cars and drove one car following the others. “You played your part well Don” a dit terry surprised cause she was sure he would lose it when he saw vise. “Yep I’m just wondering what they were talking about him thinking he is twelve and my dad what about him” a dit don not taking his eyes off the road. “Ya I know I’m worried to don” a dit terry looking at the car in front of them. “Ok remember the sûr, sans danger word is Mexico your team will be following us at a sûr, sans danger distance” a dit terry which annoyed don he had only been reminded a hundred times what’s one more.
To Allan and Charlie at the bad guys hide out
“Charlie, son wake up, we are going to have to get toi a bath now, toi have been sleeping for over four hours” Allan a dit worry plain in his voice Charlie hadn’t moved once in his sleep which disturbed Allan Charlie always moves in his sleep so shaking him a bit (Charlie laying there covered in blood was just too much at the moment and he wanted to get it off him now at least in his opinion.) Charlie opened his eyes and looked around “d-daddy” Charlie a dit and wrapped his arms around Allan’s waist “d-don’t don’t leave me” Charlie a dit in a nervous tone “p-please” he kept stuttering out. This startled Allan his son was begging him not to leave he didn’t know what to think “it’s alright son I’m not going anywhere can toi stand” he asked running a hand through his hair. Charlie sat up then laid back down “hurts” he a dit about to try again. “That’s ok I’ll help toi after I get the bath water started” a dit Allan getting up. Charlie grabbed his hand “where are toi going daddy don’t leave me please” begged Charlie. “I will be right back I’m going to run the bath water then I will come back and help toi into it ok” a dit Allan as Charlie hesitantly let go. ‘I wonder what they did to him to make act like this’ Allan thought to himself as he started to run the bath water “ok Charlie let me help toi get undressed” Allan a dit walking back into the room. “I don’t want to take a bath I want to go home” Charlie a dit sleepily. “I know toi do son I know but right now we will have to get toi all cleaned up” a dit Allan ‘and see if toi have an infection anywhere’ Allan mumbled to himself then searching for something for Charlie to wear besides those bloodied pants and ripped and bloody shirt. “Daddy could I uh could I uh maybe have uh” Charlie looked undecided on whether ou not he could have what he was asking for “never mind” he a dit looking around the room as if he had Lost something. “Charlie what did toi need son I will be happy to get it for you” Allan a dit opening up doors to the closet and finally finding some clothes that looked a little big for him but good enough to wear. “You sure it’s ok” Charlie asked hesitantly looking up at Allan. “Yes Charlie now go ahead and ask I won’t bite” Allan a dit with a smile. He was about to ruffle Charlie’s hair before Charlie jerked back “please I’m sorry I won’t do it again I’ll be a good boy please I’m sorry” Charlie a dit putting his hand up to his head in a protective gesture. It startled Allan to realize his son actually thought he was going to hurt him was cœur, coeur breaking and he frowned “son I’m not going to hurt toi I just going to touch your head” Allan a dit now backing off and putting the clothes into the bathroom. “I’m sorry daddy I didn’t know” a dit Charlie putting his head down and waited for Allan to try again but he didn’t. “that’s ok son” a dit Allan looking at Charlie’s wounds a badly busted lip a broken nose a badly swollen shut black eye and these red dots as if something were attached to his head at some point and broken fingers the rest he didn’t know so he decided to déplacer on “ok bath time can toi stand up” Allan came over to help him. Charlie nodded but made no attempt to stand as Allan noticed the odd shape of his left leg “that’s alright son I’ll help you, could toi straighten out your right leg” Allan asked taking off Charlie’s pants, Charlie flinched but made no other movement except a moan when the pant leg came down around his left leg Allan then put the pants in the floor. “Ok now for the chemise I’m going to leave your boxeur, boxer on just in case they come in ou there’s a camera on in here ou I don’t know” a dit Allan looking around. Charlie just nodded and proceeded to try to sit up with a moan as Allan took his chemise off he saw the bruise and gasped “what did they do to toi Charlie” Allan asked looking Charlie over for signs of further injuries “ok toi just lay there let me find something to help carry toi in there” Allan a dit looking around the room and found nothing. “Alright Charlie I’m going to have to carry toi in there” Allan a dit picking up Charlie ‘he is to light I hope your prepared Charlie cause as soon as I get toi accueil toi are going to eat a 4 coursed meal all par yourself’ Allan a dit to himself. They got into the bathroom, and once Allan tried to put Charlie into the water he struggled “NO, NO I’M SORRY please don’t drowned me I’ll be a good freak not bad” Charlie begged and grabbed onto Allan chemise “I’ll be good I-I’ll be good” he repeated. Allan stopped shocked at what Charlie just a dit “Charlie toi are not a freak alright and don’t toi ever think that, it’s ok I’m not going to hurt toi just a bath” Allan a dit startled as Charlie nodded his head “do toi still not want a bath ou is it ok, toi don’t have to say anything just nod your head if toi still want to” feeling a nod against him he put Charlie in the warm water. Allan look around for the cup and found it he gave Charlie some water to drink and after Charlie finished it, he put Charlie’s head back slowly as not to freak him out and he washed the blood out of Charlie’s hair and off his body he moaned every now in then when Allan washed a spot over one of his wounds but was good didn’t even flinch any plus when Allan ruffled his hair. Once Allan decide that Charlie was clean enough he looked for a towel. Just as Allan found a towel he heard the door open he quickly came out of the bathroom and shut the door to the bathroom were Charlie was. Which made Charlie panic “daddy don’t leave” he a dit and Allan opened the door a crack “I’ll be right back Charlie stay quiet till I get back” a dit Allan and getting a nod he closed the door again. As he saw the bad guys that abducted him and Charlie with two others a male and a female “where’s the freak” josh asked Allan who looked angry at him. “my son is not a freak and call him anything and toi may find my shoe somewhere toi will not like it” a dit Allan looking at the female and male “who are they” asked Allan stepping in the way of the bathroom door towel still in hand. “We have some people here that are interested in him they really want to see him” a dit Benny in a mocking tone. “Well they will have to come back later wont they” a dit Allan angrily. “Why don’t toi déplacer out of our way old man” a dit Nathan walking the two people to the door and benny drug Allan out the way and held the struggling Allan so the three could enter. “Where is he” asked Mrs. Jackson aka terry then they entered and in the bathtub was a boy who had a hand over his mouth to keep himself from talking the bathtub filled with red liquid it didn’t take them 2 secondes to realize that the red water was a blood and water mix. “This is him the boy genius” a dit vice looking at Charlie angrily but Charlie just kept a hand over his mouth not saying a word. “You say he thinks he’s twelve” asked Mr. Jackson aka don going over to the tub and squatting down beside it. “Yes he does salut freak how old are you” asked Nathan walking over toward the tub. Charlie didn’t say anything just kept his hand over his mouth and looked up at the guy. The guy looked down at Charlie “I asked how old are you” he a dit pulling the back of his hair. Charlie uncovered his mouth but didn’t say anything he just stared at the guy. “I a dit tell me how old toi are” he a dit and grabbed one of Charlie’s broken finger. “Ok, ok 14 just stop I want to go accueil please I don’t know any of toi I want my brother, dad, and mom” Charlie a dit moaning out as the bad guy let go of his finger. “Ok so he thinks he is 14 new tactics are in order” a dit Mr. Jackson aka don “hey buddy how toi doing huh” don a dit about to pat him on the head but he jerked away. “Don’t touch me” Charlie a dit and backed away as far as the tub and the broken ribs and leg would allow don then stood up and Charlie turned his head to the side expecting a slap ou coup de poing to the face “please don’t hurt me” Charlie a dit and don bent down to Charlie’s level again “please” Charlie repeated as don got closer. “I’m not going to hurt toi buddy” don a dit lifting up Charlie’s face tenderly so as not to irritate the wounds. Charlie nodded his head and let don look at his wounds. “Looks like your good to go to Mexico” a dit don looking at terry “ya it does” terry a dit going over to the tub where Charlie was and bending down beside don “how are toi doing Charlie” she asked looking down at the water. “And toi know the best thing about the kid, toi can hit him as much as toi want and he won’t hit toi back” a dit Nathan going over to Charlie to prove his point and hit him as hard as he could. While in the other room the FBI was breaching the building. Mr. Jackson aka don stood up hearing the bangs from the other rooms “FBI freeze” Mr. Jackson yelled taking off his mask to reveal himself and took out his gun “and if I were toi I wouldn’t touch my brother again” don a dit angrily and hit Nathan as josh pointed a gun at Charlie and benny brought Allan in at gun point as well. Terry took off her mask and pulled out her gun “if toi shoot him I shoot you” a dit terry raising her gun to the person that had Allan “I know toi don’t want to die here so I suggest toi put your weapon down” she a dit as Allan kicked the guy and went over to don. “Donnie” Allan a dit hesitantly. “Ya dad I know just stay behind me” a dit don “josh tanner let go of my brother Charlie don’t move” don a dit as he stepped closer hearing all the noise’s in the other rooms heading toward this one. “DAVID, COLBY, NIKKI LIZ IN HERE” yelled don taking another step closer “you’re not getting out of here josh so if toi want to live I suggest toi let him go and get down on the ground” don took one plus step he was a least three feet away from Charlie and the gun. Charlie nose was still bleeding from the assault from earlier and he had passed out. “I don’t think so little Donnie I’m getting out of here and you’re going to let me if toi don’t want poor baby freak here to get killed” josh a dit poking Charlie’s rib cage with the gun enticing a moan from him. The other FBI came into the room weapon drawn “FREEZE FBI” yelled David as Colby came up behind him “FREEZE” he a dit as they both noticed Charlie “don back in there is some VCR tapes all labeled Charlie whoa” asked David to all of which don nodded. “Get down on the ground Tanner we have every one of your team in custody I suggest toi give up the game as well if toi want a fair trial” a dit Colby coming closer. “I don’t think so agent this is between me and them so I suggest toi all leave” josh a dit his finger twitching on the trigger. “Ya right tanner Charlie is like a little brother to all of us and we are not about to let toi end his life” a dit David and Colby walked to were don was. All of a sudden there was a shot and josh fell to the ground they all looked to see who pulled the trigger and saw don with a smoking gun and in a matter of secondes don was par Charlie’s side checking for a pulse on finding one he pulled Charlie out of the water “he is so light” he a dit to himself “WE NEED AN ambulance IN HERE” don yelled and heard another moan from Charlie as Charlie’s head started to move. “Owe what happened” Charlie’s words were slurred and every one had to struggle to hear him. “Hey buddy how are toi doing” don a dit in a soft voice. “Hurts” Charlie mumbled out and started to close his eyes again. Don shook him softly “no buddy stay awake for me a little while longer ok” don a dit wondering ‘friendship dynamics he worked on that when he was fourteen’ don a dit to himself “Umm how has your friendship paper coming” he asked still holding Charlie. “Wow that bad huh” a dit Charlie smiling weakly eyes still closed. Don was confused “what do toi mean” he asked looking at all the other agents and his father. Charlie opened his eyes and looked at Don “Don the only time toi ask about my math is when I’m hurt severely and what’s with friendship dynamics I haven’t done that one in like 11 years so why not the Eppes convergence ou something plus recent” Charlie mumbled out sleepily. “Wait how old are toi buddy” asked don plus confused as his brother was 33 then 12 then 14 and now something else. “Funny don just subtract 5 years from your age and toi get mine” Charlie started whispering and closed his eyes again. Allan came over there about this time as did dons team “Charlie hold still” a dit Allan and started to put pants and a chemise on him to all of which he moaned. After he got done dressing Charlie Allan looked him over “son can toi tell us how old toi are” he asked grabbing onto Charlie’s hand. “what why what happened” asked Charlie opening his eyes again and noticed all the people in the room “who the hello” Charlie smiled weakly as he looked over at his father not wanting to be in trouble for saying something else and stopped himself “I’m Charlie” he a dit to them and they looked at him with confusion “did I do something weird sorry I’m a math professor at CalSci” Charlie a dit tiredly and smiled weakly and closed his eyes then noticed his leg and that he was all wet and his fingers hurt and he had pain everywhere. “How old are toi Charlie we really need to know” a dit don impatiently and worried and shook him a little to get him out of his own world. “Twenty-five ok there now can someone please explain what happened” Charlie asked just as impatient as don did but a bit plus politer as the medics came in with a gurney Charlie looked at don startled “what happened don I really don’t remember who are all these people” he asked scared as the guys that had kidnapped them came into view “I thought those guys were in jail how what oh never mind” Charlie a dit to confused and too tired to care at the moment. “Dad toi can ride with him I will come with the FBI” don a dit as he followed terry to the van and let people from her department take the sports car. At the hospital the nurse’s rolled Charlie in he had already passed out again and Allan was still beside him when they wheeled him into the hospital and when they came to the employee’s/sick/ ou injured only room they stopped him “sorry sir toi can’t come back here” and they themselves went to the room and followed them to where Charlie had been brought. Don came up beside Allan “he will be alright dad” he a dit and put a hand on Allan’s shoulder Allan just nodded and let don lead him to a chair.
