He welcomed the darkness.
He felt the pain leaving from his body as the darkness filled his body instead.
He welcomed the unconscious like a long lost friend.
"Noah!" Holden ran out of the farm and ran to Noah´s truck immediately when Noah pulled into the driveway. He quickly jumped out of the truck.
"Noah, where is he?" asked Holden sounding terrified with a frantic look in his eyes.
"The name Kevin Davis, does that ring a bell?" asked Noah and looked at Holden as they entered the farm house. Noah looked around the kitchen and saw that Jack was, for once, was now where to be seen. `Typical, just when we need him, he´s not here,´ thought Noah.
"Jack´s at the station," said Holden reading Noah´s mind. "And yes, I know Kevin. He and Luke used to be friends, but then Luke came out and Kevin told him, that they were no longer friends."
"Did he say where he was keeping Luke?" Holden asked just as Lily walked down the stairs.
"They found my baby?" she asked with tears in her eyes.
"No honey," said Holden as he placed an arm around her shoulders. "But Noah talked to his father and he said that Kevin is the one who kidnapped Luke."
"Kevin?" She asked as she slumped down onto a kitchen and the tears started to roll down her cheeks. "Holden, you know what Kevin told Luke, how he threatened to beat him up and …" she couldn´t finish the sentence because of her sobbing. Holden quickly went to her and placed an arm around her shoulders.
"We are going to get him back, I promise." He gently kissed her forehead and stood up, still with a hand on her shoulders, giving it a gentle squeeze.
"Did you dad say anything else?" Holden asked as he looked over at Noah.
"He said that Kevin had him in a cabin in the woods, but that´s it," said Noah, mentally slapping himself for not finding out which wood or where in the woods.
"Jack," said Holden as he had pulled his phone out and put it to his ear. "We know where Luke is. Do you remember Kevin Davis? … He has him in a cabin … somewhere in the woods … Okay, call me back as soon as you know something." Holden said and hung up the phone.
He looked around the kitchen, neither of them spoke.
They hoped and prayed that they would get to Luke before it would be too late.
`Ring ring´ the sudden ringing of the phone made Noah jump.
Holden quickly walked over to the phone and picked it up.
"You found him? ...Where? … I want to come …But Jack …. OK, I promise I will stay here until you call." Said Holden and hung up the phone again.
He turned around and looked at the people in the kitchen. Suddenly a large smile appeared and tears started to form in his eyes. "They found him," he said. "Apparently Kevin´s parents has a cabin in a forest, not too far away from here and they think that is where Luke is."
Noah quickly stood up and started to walk towards the door, but was stopped by Holden´s hand on his shoulder.
"You have to stay here, we can´t come with them. We´ll only be in the way," Holden said and the smile disappeared from his face again as quickly as it appeared.
"But I want … no I need to be there for him. I have to, Holden. It´s my fault that he´s there, I have to know if he´s ok," said Noah with tears in his eyes. Holden squeezed his shoulder and gently pulled him towards a kitchen chair and made him sit down.
"Noah, listen to me. It´s not your fault, it´s your father and Kevin´s fault. They are the one to blame here, not you. Never you," said Holden. Noah could only sniffle in responds. He was too busy trying to keep the tears from falling.
"We have to wait here for the call. Jack promised that they would call as soon as they found him," Holden got up and poured them all a cup of coffee.
Nobody said anything. They all sat and stared into the air, all hoping that Jack would be in time to save what was precious to them all - Luke.
`Ring ring´ the sudden ringing of the phone sounded trough the kitchen. Holden and Noah exchanged glances before Holden stood up. He walked towards the phone, a little slower this time.
Knowing that this was the time when they would hear about Luke.
If he was alive or dead.
"Hello," Holden hesitantly placed the phone´s receiver to his ear. "Oh thank you God," he said after some time passed. "Thank you Jack, we´ll be right there."
Holden turned around and as the tears started to roll down his cheeks a huge smile appeared also.
"He´s save. He´s a Memorial and we have to go there. Now," he said just below a yell when nobody in the kitchen moved a muscle. They were all to shocked, then suddenly is downed on them what Holden had just said.
Luke had been found and was at Memorial.
He was saved.
The kitchen soon exploded with noise as they all stood up and made their way out to the cars.
To get to Luke.
"Jack," Holden called out when they arrive at the hospital. "How is he?"
"They just rolled him into surgery."
"Surgery, why is that? What happened to my baby?" Lily asked as she struggled to where Jack was standing.
Jack placed a hand on her shoulder and the look on his face seemed to get sadder and his shoulders slumped down.
"They beat him. We found him in the basement cuffed to a water pipe. He …" Jack said and hesitated.
"What Jack? Please tell us," Holden pleaded with his cousin.
"He had a seizure in the ambulance, he stopped breathing but they got him back." He said with a tear rolling down his cheek. After all this was not just another case.
After all this was Luke they were talking about.
They all slumped down on the hard chairs in the waiting room, waiting to hear more about Luke.
4 fearful hours later a doctor walked towards them, looking tired and worried. He faces them all, and they all stand beside each other, waiting to hear more about Luke.
