"I won't ask you again Sullivan, where are you keeping Kevin Keller?"
Ariel sat down in a very comfortable chair in a interrogation room. His hands had been cuffed down onto the metal table in front of him and he was standing in front of two Greendale police officers. They were looking out on him in annoyance and anger. They have been standing here for about twenty minutes, trying to force him to tell them where he lives and where he's keeping his hostage. Ariel refused to talk. Kevin was his prisoner. And he'd keep him for as long and he wanted. Police wouldn't find him.
Ariel rolled his eyes at them. "I might have confessed, but I don't have to tell you officers a damn thing."
One of the officers slammed his palm on the table and walked out of the room. The other one rubbed the bridge of his nose and shook his head before walking out as well. Ariel pulled his legs onto the table and crossed his ankles together, looking at himself in the mirror across and cursing Moose and Archie for ruining his brand new dyed hair. Unbeknownst to him that across the mirror in the other room was Sheriff Keller and Mayor McCoy, on looking in the two way glass that the young man. Tom had his arms crossed across his chest harshly. This young man had kidnapped his child and now they had no idea where he was. The police were speaking to one another on how to get him to talk and it was taking everything in Tom's right mind and heart to not go out on his own and take the law into his own hands.
Sierra turned over to him and gave a small shrug. "Well... at least he doesn't know about the affair." she said.
Tom turned to her and gave her a smile for trying to make the situation a bit better. His smiled faded after a minute and then he turned away from the window letting him see the kid that kidnapped his child. Sierra walked over to him and went to touch him but Tom moved his hand away. "Do you think that Kevin's hurt?" he asked.
"I doubt that he hurt him." Sierra said. "This is just a childish rivalry."
"Well he resorted to kidnapping. Who knows what else he might resort to."
Tom turned away and sat down in one of the chairs that the officers had provided until they got an answer on where Ariel is hiding Kevin. Sierra walked and sat down next to him. "Where's Josie?" Tom asked.
"In the car. Rest assured, she'll be getting a stern talking to from me once we find Kevin." Sierra said. "And as for everyone else that was in that hotel room, I'll be giving them forty hours of community service and three Saturday detentions."
Tom nodded. He put his head in his hands, worrying about Kevin. "Excuse me, Mayor McCoy, Sheriff Keller."
The two looked up and saw a police officer looking at them. Sierra stood up and smoothed out her skirt. "Yes?"
"We just wanted to ask if you will be pressing charges against Mr. Sullivan?" the officer said.
"Of course I am." Tom said with a look on his face of anger and annoyance. "He kidnapped my son!"
"Of course Sheriff Keller." the officer said, pulling out her clipboard and checking something on it. "Despite him technically being a minor, he will be charged with kidnapping and once we find your son the rest of the charges will be justified."
"Tom?"
Tom turned over and saw the officer walk over to him. It was Frank, a man that he had gone through army training with when they were in college. They were pretty close friends. Tom held his hand up to the unnamed female officer and squeezed Sierra's hand, motioning that he would be back soon. He walked over to Frank and they shook their hands before clapping their shoulders. "Hey there Frank." Tom said.
"What are you doing here?" Frank asked, shoving his hands in his pockets. "Are you looking for Kevin?"
"Actually yes. The officers here are searching all over for him."
"Why?" Frank asked.
Tom raised an eyebrow. "My son was just kidnapped."
"By whom?" Tom and Frank walked over to the two way glass together and saw the young man sitting in the chair and handcuffed to it. "No way... I was just at this man's home. And Kevin called me from that home number. Even got a noise complaint from the address."
"Are you serious?" Tom asked.
"I guess I didn't notice that Kevin was being forced while being held hostage." Frank said. "I'm so sorry Tom."
"Don't apologize. I'm guessing that if it got past you, it must have been really believable." Tom said to him. "But do you remember the address?"
Frank nodded and pulled out a pen from his belt. He walked to an anonymous desk and wrote out the address before handing it to Sheriff Keller. "That should be it. And I can send as many officers with you to see if your son is still there."
"Thank you so much Frank." Tom said before walking over to Sierra.
"Well, what did you find out?" Sierra asked.
"The address where that kid might be keeping my son." Tom replied, before pressing a soft kiss on her lips. He let go and left her blushing and dazed. "I have to go but I love you."
Tom walked out of the room and Sierra just stood there dazed completely. She pressed her hands onto her lips and smiled.
"He has second degree burns on his neck, chest and torso. The young man also has small cuts on his wrists, along with a bit of mixed up blood circulation there. He's also dehydrated and has a stomach bug."
The two Sullivan parents sighed and shook their heads at the list of injures that Kevin had. They had brought him to the best hospital in Greendale and begged for the best room. Kevin was laid on the softest bed, given the best doctors and given the best medicine. They really wanted to make sure that the young man would get better after the terrible, horrible things their son had done to him.
"Thank you so, so much." Eleanor said with a smile and a shake of hands.
"No worries." the doctor said back, putting her pen into her small little scrub pocket. "Now, you told me that you do not know who this boy is?"
"No, we do." Daniel said back. "His name in Kevin Keller. We think that he lives in Riverdale."
"Riverdale. Got it. Do you know any possible family members that I can contact for him?"
"His father is the sheriff of Riverdale. Tom Keller." Daniel said.
"Got it. I will try to make contact with him. As for the boy, please stay with him."
The doctor walked away and the two parents looked at each other. "Danny, I'm... I'm going to... to the um... the cafeteria. Get him a soup... or a coffee or... or something! God!"
"Easy, easy Eleanor. Breathe." Daniel said to his wife, patting her cheek and kissing her cheek. "Go... go on out. Get a breather, some water. I'll watch over Mr. Keller, okay?"
Eleanor nodded and kissed her husband and walked off. Her heels clacking in the background. Daniel rubbed her nose and opened the door to Kevin's room. Kevin was laid on the bed, hooked up to IV's and looking out onto the window. He was awake. He had woken up right after the doctors had closed up his cuts and given him some fluids. Kevin turned his head at the middle aged man that was making his way inside of his hospital room. He tensed up and Daniel raised his hands up. "Hey, hey... it's alright." Daniel said. "I just came to check on you. My wife and I brought you here, do you remember that?"
Kevin was still a bit disoriented from being drugged and hurt so much. But he was awake enough to know what was going on around him. He nodded as he ran his hand over his brand new stitches. Daniel nodded back and he walked over to Kevin's bedside. He grabbed the plastic pitcher of water that was provided and poured a cup before offering it to Kevin. "No... no thank you. I'm fine." Kevin said, shaking his hand and sitting up.
"The doctor is currently calling your father. He should be here soon."
Kevin nodded and licked his lips. So much has happened in the last seventeen hours that it was becoming too much to process on his own. Kevin reached over and his hand rubbed the bandages that covered his burns. Daniel was looking at Kevin with a worried expression. Was he okay? Was he about to pass out? Kevin just on looked back to the window and watched as the clouds moved slowly around the sky. There was a soft knock at the door and Daniel opened it to let his wife inside. Eleanor looked over at Kevin and smiled. "Hi there Mr. Keller." she said, holding the mug filled with soup. "I'm Eleanor, Ariel's mother. I just wanted to say that I am so sorry for what you've been through this weekend."
"It's quite alright Mrs. Sullivan." Kevin said.
"I will completely understand if you or your father presses charges against Ariel." she said.
"I will pay any fines that is required and we won't take it up in court." Daniel added.
Kevin nodded and leaned back into the pillows. Eleanor walked over and set the soup down. "I brought you soup... I'm guessing that Ariel didn't decide to feed you. It was mushroom bisque or some kind of mushroom soup." she said. "Would you like some?"
"Yes. Thank you Mrs. Sullivan." Kevin said as the mug was handed to him.
"Please, call me Eleanor." she said, smiling at the young man. Daniel smiled as well and he opened the door when he heard another faint knock.
"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt." the doctor said. "I was just coming to say that the police have called this cell phone. Is it yours?"
"Oh. Yes." Daniel said, taking his phone that he must have dropped while in the ambulance. "Thank you. Did you answer?"
"I did. They said that they have someone in their custody that you might know. They said his name is Ariel Sullivan?"
Moose slammed the door of the car shut and ran over to the hug house. Veronica had told him the car's license plate and it had only taken him twenty minutes to locate the household. He walked over to the house in anger and kicked the door opened. It fell off the hinges and Moose did not find the care. "Kevin?!" he called out. "Kevin are you in here?!"
He looked around, seeing all of the expensive furniture and paintings. He did not see Kevin, thank God. But as he looked around and to the ground, he saw dried blood caked in the tiles. Red blood. Moose wanted to hope that it was that Ariel kid's blood and that Kevin had at least tried to put up a fight. But he knew that when he had put him in the trunk there was no cuts on his body or bruises. The blood had to be Kevin's and only Kevin's.
Which meant that Ariel had hurt him.
Moose ran into the kitchen and looked around. "Kev?! It's me Moose! Are you here?!"
No response. Moose looked around the room and saw a pile of orangish and red liquid. It smelled terrible. And the red was the same color as the blood that he had found caked in the tiles. It must have been Kevin's. Dear God... Moose's heart was beating fast. He really prayed that he wouldn't find the dead body of the kind and beautiful Kevin Keller inside of this huge house. He ran from room to room, hoping to find Kevin just unconscious somewhere. He looked and looked and found nothing. He kicked open the door of every room hoping that Kevin was inside one. He found one bedroom and his heart hammered at the sight of the sheets. Wax was covering some areas along with droplets of blood. Kevin's blood no less. This must have been where he was keeping him.
Moose cursed out loud and ran up to the next floor. He opened the door and found what must have been Ariel's bedroom. Inside was a plastic bag filled with the clothes that Moose recognized Kevin wearing when he had found him outside after the wrestling match. He ripped the bag opened and pulled out his own jacket that Kevin had been wearing. What if this was him getting rid of evidence? What if Kevin was already dead?
"Who's in here?!"
Moose looked up, clutching his jacket close because it had the scent of Kevin lingering all over it. He stood up and watched as someone walked inside of the room clutching a hand gun. Sheriff Keller. He put the gun down seeing that it was Moose. "Moose, what the hell are you doing here?" Tom asked, putting his gun inside of his holster.
"Looking for Kevin, same as you." Moose said. "But... but I-"
"Moose I know. I saw the blood in the tiles as well." Tom leaned over and saw the bag spilled out against the ground. "Are those..."
"Kevin things. Yeah. Sheriff Keller... what if he's dead?"
"We can't think that way, maybe he's just not here."
Tom's phone rang, interrupting the two of them. Tom sighed, hoping that it wasn't the police confirming Moose's thoughts about Kevin being dead in the middle of Greendale. Tom picked up and put the phone to his ear. "Sheriff of Riverdale, Tom Keller speaking."
"Tom Keller? I'm sorry to interrupt. My name is Doctor Hannah Martin from Greendale Medical Center. Two people came to us with a young man that we've identified as your son."
