Chapter 4

"No." Yelled Jennifer Knight. "I won't allow that man anywhere near my son!"

"Neither will I." States Joanne Mitchell. "Logan hasn't been the same since all this happened!"

"I understand this is a lot to ask, but Mrs. Diamond needs closure, and…" Officer Garcia began to trail off "He never said James was dead."

Everyone just stared.

"You mean James could still be alive?" Asks Joanne.

Officer Garcia nods and lowers his head. "It's possible that Mr. Fredrickson has hidden James in any attempt at keeping him."

Both parents stare and nod their heads in agreement; the three boys stare, but nod as well.

Eddy smiles as Officer Garcia re-enters the room with Kendall, Logan, and Carlos. "Please have a seat boy's."

The boys stare and each take a seat.

"What did you do to James?" Asks Carlos angrily.

"Carlos, I did what I had wanted to do for some many years now."

Kendall and Logan both glare and make fists. "Tell us what you did to our brother." Says Kendall.

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"Yes." says Logan "We need to know."

"Are you sure you can handle the truth?"

Each boy turns to face each other and nods their heads.

"Very well." Says Eddy. "Just remember. You asked for this."

James had taken a seat in the front behind Eddie's. "How did you know I would be walking?"

"Your friend Carlos asked me to give you a ride home."

James laughs and pulls out his lucky comb.

"You know you don't need that thing."

James stares. "Why not?"

"You're already beautiful."

James begins to feel uneasy and doesn't speak to the man until he realizes Eddy passed his street. "Uhhhh Mr. Fredrickson?" Asks James nervously. "You passed the turn."

Eddy stares at James' scared and worried face through the mirror and smiles. "I know James."

James begins to stutter and remove his cellphone from his pocket. "Well why would you do that?"

Eddy turns and stares at James over his shoulder. "Because you're not going home James." James only stares. "You're mine now."

James goes in to panic mode and quickly runs towards the emergency exits, but they won't budge.

"Come on open!" James yells as he bangs into the door with his body.

Eddy laughs, he had already locked off every exit except the main door, but James would have to get around Eddy to get there.

James quickly grabs his cellphone, but can't find a signal anywhere.

"Let me out!" James screams as he continues to bang on the door and windows. "Mr. Fredrickson, take me home now!"

Eddy is surprised when James throws himself on him in an attempt to reach the handle that would open the main door, but quickly turns the situation around when he grabs a wet rag from his pocket and holds it over James' nose and mouth.

James attempts to remove the rag, but soon falls into the darkness.

Eddy pulls the bus over and holds the unconscious body of James in his arms; he plays with the boy's hair, and even kisses his cheek.

Eddy soon ripped off all of James' clothes and his own and had begun to have his way with the unconscious boy.

In fear James would awake in the middle of Eddie's pleasure he had tightly bound the boy's wrists and ankles and wrapped a layer of tape around James' mouth.

Eddies suspicions were proven correct when James began to come to. Eddy could hear muffled cries of protest pleading and begging for him to stop.

When Eddy had finally finished, he laid James down in the front seat and began driving home.

Once James was confined to a chair in the basement Eddy would begin having his daily "Pleasures." Eddy had continued this pattern of sexual pleasure with James for weeks, even handcuffing and chaining the boy to his bed so he would wake to James' face.

Eddy began to grow more and more worried as the heat of James' disappearance hadn't blown out; it would appear one of James' little friends had made it his life's work to find James or Eddy, he soon came to the realization that James was a liability.

One early morning Eddy dragged a bound and gagged James to a remote location and began digging, James frantically tried to escape and yell for help, but no one was around to hear his cries.

Eddy carried James bridal style and gave him one last kiss on the forehead before he lowered him down to the box below, Eddy removed the gag from James' mouth and handed James a tape recorder.

"Say your goodbyes." Eddy soon walked out of ear shot, but not far enough away that James could escape. James began to cry, but still voiced his goodbyes to his loved ones and friends.

Eddy returned to James carrying the lid to the coffin and began nailing the box shut, the still running tape recorder recording every one of James' screams and pleas.

Once the box was sealed, Eddy grabbed a shovel and began covering the box with dirt; he could still hear James screaming.
