Thrown Into Trouble

Who, What, Where? part 3

We all then leave our office and go to the garage or outside since not all our cars are in the garage. Since my mom took my dads car my dad is going with Clayton in his car and Colton and Toby are going together in Colton's car and then as we said before Danny is taking Jacob with him. I go to the rack with our keys on it and turn to Dylan "do you want to take my car or yours?" I ask and Dylan just shrugs probably not really caring what car we take which I honestly don't either but I didn't know if he would want to use his or mine so that's why I asked. I grab the keys to my car since I'm going to be driving most likely and I like driving my car more than Dylan's. Don't get me wrong Dylan's car is just fine and I can drive it just as well as I can drive mine but if i'm going to be driving I would rather drive my car than someone else's unless I have to drive someone else's for whatever reason. We go to my car and get in and I let Clayton go in front of us since he and my dad know how to get to their old house and me and Dylan don't. Behind us is Drew and then behind him I believe is Colton and Toby and that would leave Danny and Jacob behind them. It's easier to just have them lead us to where it is then for all of us that don't know where it is to put it into our phones gps, also our dads probably know a quicker way to get there than the gps does. "We have to tell him" Dylan says "tell him what?" I ask already assuming he was talking about Alex "about the gang, we can't lie to him. We need to tell him the truth, the full truth" Dylan says. I know he's right. I mean I already thought it myself but I'm not sure telling him is the right idea even though I don't want to lie to him, " but it's safer if he doesn't know" I say.

I can feel Dylan's eyes on me but since I am driving and trying to not lose where Clayton is since I need to follow him I can't look at Dylan. "Is it really though?" Dylan asks "If he knew we could still keep him out of it and then he would also be more careful. I mean because he didn't know he got hurt by us and Jacob because he was used against us and got hurt in the process" Dylan says. We get stopped at a red light and I look at him "even if he knew that wouldn't have stopped what happened, him knowing will put him in a more dangerous situation even if we still keep him out of it as much as we can" I say. I watch as Dylan looks down at the hoodie that has been his life line since Alex has been gone, well other than me and Danny "We can't lie to him, if he finds out we lied to him about this even if just a little part of it he might not ever forgive us. I don't want him getting hurt because he knows but I would rather him know and still have him then lie to him and have him leave us, plus he has already gotten hurt because of it and he doesn't even know about it" Dylan says. I know he is right because I feel the same way, I don't want us to lose him, he is everything we could have asked for. We had talked to other littles before but no one ever clicked with us like Alex did, most of the littles we talked to were fine with having two caregivers but not being in a polyamorous relationship. Technically we didn't know if Alex was either or if he even liked guys like that but as I said we just clicked there was this instant connection. He's the first person we got close to so quickly, especially me. You have a better chance of getting closer to Dylan than to me, but it even takes him a while to talk to and warm up to new people.

I would say us getting that close to Alex so close is in competition with how quickly me and Dylan became friends and we have known each other since we were born, well since Dylan was born technically since I was born before him but still we couldn't really be counted as friends until we were both one and could somewhat talk and actually interact with each other. I quickly look at the light that is still red and turn back to Dylan and move his head so he is looking at me "your right, we need to tell him the full truth. It might be our only chance at not losing him and our best chance at getting him to forgive us" I say and he nods. I let go of his face and put my hand out and he looks at it before taking it and holding my hand and in the other he keeps a tight grip on the hoodie. The light turns green which now that I think about it that seemed like a really long red light but oh well. We continue our drive with me driving with one hand, I'm not planning to let go of Dylan's hand until we get there or until he takes his hand away, but I know he most likely won't take his hand away. We eventually pull up to a house and all of us park but make sure we all have enough room to be able to leave in case someone has to leave for some reason but the rest of us don't. Once we were parked I gave Dylan's hand a squeeze before letting go of it since neither of us can get out of the car if we don't stop holding hands. We get out of the car and everyone else is getting out of theirs except for Danny and Jacob. Dylan comes over to my side and grabs my hand again and holds it and while holding hands we walk over to our dads who were waiting for all of us to get to where they are before going to the front door since they are the closest to it.

After we all got to where our dads were we then all went to the door "who's going to knock?" My dad asks "I will" Dylan says and moves closer to the door and knocks on it and then takes a step back so he is beside me and out of the way of the door. We waited for a minute of two and you could hear Ginger barking but Alex didn't come to the door. Dylan goes back closer to the door and knocks on it again but for longer this time and harder and then comes back beside me again. But again there was no answer and Ginger was still barking, "maybe he's not here?" Colton asks "no he should be here, we were supposed to have lunch together and he had texted me the address earlier when we were talking. I didn't know he went here until he told me the address, he had said he was either going to stay with Clara or go to his mom's house" Toby says, "plus his car is right there in the driveway so he has to be here somewhere" Toby continued. Alex has to be here then especially if he had plans with Toby and he was coming here but it doesn't make sense that he didn't come right to the door but maybe he is in the bathroom or something that would be a good reason why he didn't come to the door. "I'll just let us in" Clayton says and takes out his keys and gets in front of the door, but before he puts his key in he stops "the door is already unlocked" he says and turns the door handle and the door opens. That's really odd because Alex never keeps doors that go in and out of the house unlocked, he told us before he doesn't feel safe leaving them unlocked unless he was just outside and then needed to get back inside.

He didn't need to worry about that at the house considering we always keep our doors locked for the most part plus we have security measures considering what we do although those measures didn't end up helping us in this situation. Clayton and my dad go inside and then me and Dylan go in and Colton and Toby follow behind us. Dylan takes out his phone and looks at it, he had gotten a message from Danny and he responds to him and not too long after Danny comes into the house with Jacob beside him "something's not right, I can feel it" Danny says "is that why he texted you?" I ask Dylan and he nods. Ginger runs up to all of us and is barking frantically like she is trying to tell us something "what's wrong Ginger?" Toby asks and comes over to her and once he was by her she took off running somewhere else "I think she wants us to follow" Toby says. We all follow Ginger into the living room and she stops when she gets to a hand towel on the floor. My dad goes over to it and picks it up and smells it but quickly takes it away from his face "it's got chloroform on it" he says. "I checked the alarm system in the hallway and it had been on but something shut it down because we got no alerts about it and it's clearly been tampered with" Clayton says. Someone took Alex, that's the only thing that makes sense. I mean Alex wouldn't randomly have chloroform unless he accidentally made some while cleaning but it doesn't look as if he had just been cleaning and also he doesn't know how to hack into things at least not to Dylan and I's knowledge.

"I think I know what happened" Jacob says and everyone's attention turns to him. He comes over to me and Dylan and hands Dylan a note "I saw it on the coffee table, it's Kyle's handwriting and this has his name all over it. He likes his chemicals and drugs, if this really was him he probably chloroformed him and then once he was out drugged him so he would stay out for longer" Jacob says and then steps away from us and goes back over to Danny. Dylan looks at the note and reads over it before letting out a sob "he took him, he's right Kyle took Alex" Dylan cries and it feels like my whole world just shattered into a million pieces right in front of me. I bring Dylan to me and hold him against my chest and let him cry into me with only two thoughts in my mind other than calming down Dylan and comforting him. That we need to find Alex as soon as possible because finding our baby and making sure he is ok is what's most important to everyone in this room, not just me and Dylan. And then secondly that once I find Kyle I'm going to kill him with my bare fucking hands and rip him to shreds for taking our baby.
