AN: I know it's been ages since I last posted a chapter and I have no excuses, but here's a new chapter! I've written some more that will be posted in the next couple of weeks and hopefully I'll be able to post regularly. No promises though! This schoolyear is going to be quite bussy...

"Here's what we're going to do..."

Jones turned a bit in his seat so he could face Peter properly. "I'm all ears." Peter turned away from the window where he was still watching Neal and the boy eat and looked at Jones. "I want to bring Neal and the boy in so Neal can explain what has happened these last couple of days, and why, from his point of view. After that we'll see what happens next." Peter turned back to the window and continued telling Jones his plan while watching Neal. "I think the reason he escaped, assumably for this boy, is quite serious. I don't think someone like Neal, who has outsmarted us easily in the past, would go through all this trouble for something if it wasn't absolutely necessary." "I agree. He doesn't look like someone who does something without completely thinking it through." Peter laughed. "Well, maybe not completely, otherwise he would've never been caught in the first place." Jones turned back to look at the house. Glad his boss at least had a plan of some sorts now.

Cooper looked at his brother, his hands covered with applesauce and a happy little smile on his face. "Did you enjoy your meal, squirt?" Blaine looked up with a smile on his face, but when he saw Cooper looking at his hands, that smile quickly faded away. He didn't see the small smile playing around Coopers lips, too young and affected by his parents to notice. A fearfull expression came over his face and he quickly stammered an appoligy to Cooper. "I'm sorry Coopa! I didn't mean to! I'll clean it up, I won't ever do it again Coopa! Please don't hit me!" By now, big tears where rolling down his face. Cooper looked shocked, even though he knew by now that his parents had treated Blaine horribly, he still didn't expect this kind of reaction. Cooper quickly stood up and moved to Blaines side of the table to kneel next to him. "Hey, shh, it's okay squirt. You did nothing wrong." "But... but, my hands, and the table..." He sputtered through heavy sobs. "Hey, no. It's okay, you did nothing wrong. You just enjoyed your meal a lot and when you're your age, it isn't a strange thing to get a bit dirty, okay? You did nothing wrong at all B, we'll clean this up together and I'll help you wash your hands and face and after that we'll watch a movie and eat dessert, okay?" Blaine looked at him with big, bright eyes. The tears had stopped and he seemed to be considering what Cooper had said. Then, in a small voice he asked: "Can we watch Disney Coopa?" Cooper smiled at him. "Of course we can B, you can even choose which one we'll watch." Blaine smiled at him and happily nodded his head. "Now, let's get clean again shall we?"

After Cooper helped Blaine with climbing down from his chair, they first went to the bathroom to clean Blaine. Since he was still in his pajamas from his nap earlier, Cooper only got a new pair of underwear and decided a quick shower would be easiest. "You okay to shower squirt?" Blaine nodded so Cooper turned on the spray to warm the water.

"Coopa..." Blaine whined. Cooper turned around to see what was going on and saw that Blaine had gotten stuck while trying to take off his pajama shirt. Cooper laughed. "Need some help there squirt?" It was quiet for a second before Blaine responded with a quit voice. "Yes please Coopa." "Okay, stand still and I'll pull it off the rest of the way." He did just that and then told Blaine to hold on to his shoulders while Cooper helped him out of his pants. "Coopa I can't reach, can you help?" Blaine was just a tiny bit too short to get into the bathtub. Cooper smilde at him. "Come on then, arms up." Cooper lifted Blaine into the tub and Blaine got under the shower spray. "Oh Coopa! It's really nice and warm!" "I'm glad squirt. Do you want the Disney shampoo again?" "Yes please!"

After the shower, Cooper quickly dried Blaine and helped him back into his pajamas. He suddenly lifted him up and carried him to the living room. Blaine squealed "Coopa! Coopa! Put me down!" But he was smiling so big, Cooper knew he didn't really mind. "Are you ready for some Disney?!"

"Boss." Jones started. "Do you think maybe we should go in now?" Peter looked a bit lost, he didn't want to ruin the nice evening Neal and the boy where having. But, he had to stay proffesional and not let his feelings come first. They had to do something eventually and now was the time to do it. "Yes, we'll go in now, but remember to stay calm. Neal probably won't do something with the boy close and I don't want to scare him unnecessarily." "Alright boss, let's go." They got out of the car and walked to the front door, ringing the bell.

The Little Mermaid had been playing for half an hour when the bell rang. Cooper looked up from where he had been watching the movie, he couldn't believe how much he was enjoying a Disney movie, but Blaine didn't move at all. He was too engrossed in the movie to notice anything happening around him. Cooper had given him dessert when the movie had just started, a waffle with some sucre he had boughy without Blaine noticing, and after that Blaine had stayed quitet. Simply enjoying the movie.

Cooper got his phone out of his pocket to see if maybe he had a missed call from Mozzie, since he had no idea who else it could be at the door. Seeing he didn't, he put his phone down and stood up. At this point Blaine did look up. "Where are you going Coopa?" Cooper looked back at him. "I'm just going to see who's at the door Squirt. I'll be right back." "Okay." Blaine turned back to the TV and put his thumb in his mouth.

Cooper went to the hallway and left the door to the living room open, making sure he could keep an eye on Blaine. He opened the door, not at all expecting what he found there. His eyes grew large when he saw the people on the other side of the door.

"Hello Neal, we need to have a word with you." Cooper couldn't react, he was frozen on the spot. Peter looked past Neal into the living room, looking at Blaine, who was looking back at him by now. Feeling that something was going on. "Hi there buddy." When Peter addressed Blaine, Cooper unfroze. "Oh my god." He mummbled, before slamming the door closed.

AN: I hope you all liked it! Next one will be posted somewhere next week
