scomarson; the three of us

four.

"You two stay behind us. We'll take care of this Adam," one of the police officers tell Mark and Mason.

Mason reaches over and grabs Mark's hand, both sharing a worrying glance towards each other.

"Open this Goddamn door!" Adam screams angrily as he pounds on the closet door. He growls when he only receives whimpering as an answer. "You're going to be in so much fucking trouble, Scott!"

Adam looks up the second he hears pounding at the door.

"Who the fuck is at my fucking door?" Adam yells before storming out of the bedroom. He sighs and goes to the front door and answers it. He looks up and is surprised when he sees two police officers, along with Mark and Mason. "Um, is there something I can help you with?"

"We've been informed by these two gentlemen that you've been keeping Scott Hoying at your apartment, and we'd like to look around," one of the police officers say as he steps inside the house.

"Scott Hoying?" Adam scoffs. "There's no one by the name of..."

"Save it, Adam," Mason snaps, stepping forward. "Scott called us. We know that he's here."

"What the-? That son of a bitch!" Adam yells, clenching his fists. "I'm going to kill him."

Mason looks over at Mark with wide eyes, Mark reaches over and grabs his hand tightly.

"Barry, take care of him while I go look around the apartment," the police officer says before walking further into the apartment. He looks around the living room and then makes his way upstairs towards Adam's bedroom, where Scott is still hiding in the closet. Adam didn't manage to unlock it.

The police officer walks up to the closet and tries to open it. He takes a step back and kicks the door open.

Scott jumps and lets out a scream. He looks up with wide eyes and gasps when he sees the police officer.

"Scott Hoying?"

Scott nods and quickly scurries to his feet. "Y-Yes?"

"We've been looking for you. Come with me. We're getting you out of here," the police officer says.

They start to walk out of the bedroom but Scott gasps and stops. "Wait! My toys!"

"You're... toys?" He blinks a few times as he looks over at Scott.

"Please. I... I have to take my toys with me," Scott begs. "They mean a lot ot me!"

"Okay," the police officer blinks a few times. "Please make it quick though."

Scott quickly gathers all of his important little stuff and places it into his bag, before finally following the police officer downstairs, where Mark and Mason were waiting impatiently.

Scott looks up and gasps when he spots Mason. "Papa!" He cries before running over to him.

"Scotty? Oh my God!" Mason grabs Scott and pulls him into a hug, wrapping his arms around him tightly. "God, I was so fucking worried about you. I'm so glad you're safe."

The police office blinks a few times as he glances over at Mark. "Did Scott just call him... papa?"

"Have you ever heard of littles?" Mark asks. The police officer shakes his head, earning a sigh from Mark. "It's a long story-" He walks over to Mason and Scott and joins the hug.

Scott pulls away from the hug and wipes away his tears. "I missed you!"

"Scotty, I'm so sorry," Mark apologizes. "I know you heard what I said before, and I didn't mean it like that. Mason and I both love you so much and we don't regret bringing you into our relationship. I'm so sorry if what I said upset you and I understand it did. I was just... stressed. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

"I-It's okay, daddy. I forgive you. I... I shouldn't have r-runaway," Scott sniffs. "Scotty's feelings got hurt and he should have talked to you instead of running away. I won't do it ever again."

Mark smiles and hugs Scott again. "I'm just glad that you're okay," he whispers to the little.

"Um," the police officer clears his throat. "I'd hate to break this up but... we should probably get going."

"Oh, right-" Mark pulls away from the hug. "Uh, Scott. Are you okay? Did he hurt you? Do you think you need to go to the hospital at all?" He glances up and down at Scott to check for any bruises.

Scott shakes his head. "No, daddy. He... He hit me b-but I don't need to go to the hospital," he says.

"Let's go. I wanna get you home as soon as possible," Mark says, gently grabbing Scott's arm.

"Let me take this," Mason says as he reaches over and grabs Scott's bag.

They finally make it outside, and Adam is taken away by Barry, and away from Scott.

"Wait-" Mark stops and looks over at the other police officer. "Adam is going to go to jail, right? I mean... technically he didn't really kidnap Scott but he did hold him hostage for a month, and he did abuse him. There's no way he can be let go without any consequences. I want justice for Scott."

"I can assure you that Adam will be going to jail. Probably for a year or two, though I would suggest getting a restraining order against him just in case," the police officer tells him.

"Thank you. Seriously, for everything. I'm sure Scott appreciates it," Mark says. "I know we do."

"I'm just doing my job, kid. Take care now," he says before getting into his police car.

Mark sighs before walking back over to Mason and Scott. "Let's go home now,"

"Are you driving, or do you want me to?" Mason asks as they walk over to the car.

"I can drive. You get in the back with Scotty," Mark tells him.

Mason opens the door for Scott and smiles as he watches him get into the car. He climbs in as well, and then he sits next to Scott and wraps an arm around him protectively.

When Mark and Mason get home with Scott, Mitch is waiting for them at their doorstep.

Mason chuckles when he sees Mitch. "Guess he couldn't wait, huh?"

"You should have seen the texts he sent me after I told him that we were bringing Scott home,"

"Daddy?" Scott asks, rubbing his eyes tiredly.

"We're home now, baby," Mason smiles as he looks down at scott, who had been sleeping in his lap. "And someone is here to see you. Have you missed your friends?"

Scott slowly sits up and looks around, and gasps when he spots Mitch. "Mitchy!" He jumps in his seat and tries to open the door but it's still locked. Scott whines as he hits the door. "Daddy! Open the door!"

Mason laughs, and Mark unlocks the door for Scott.

Scott squeals excitedly and jumps out of the car once he finally gets the door open.

"Scotty!" Mitch yells as he runs up to Scott and hugs him tightly. "I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too!" Scott cries as he hugs Mitch tightly.

Mark smiles as he gets out of the car and walks over to Mason, who was filming Scott and Mitch.

"Things are finally back to how they should be," Mark says.

Mason looks over at Mark and smiles. "Yeah, they are. Our Scotty is back," he says.
