Chapter 24: Capture

Blaine shook hands with his producer Artie and grinned.

"Thanks Artie," he said.

"No problem Blaine," Artie smiled back. "We'll meet up next week to finalise the album and then we can release it."

"Great," Blaine grinned. "I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for me Artie."

"Don't mention it," Artie waved him off. "Oh, I've been meaning to ask, how's Kurt doing?"

"Alright," Blaine sighed. "It's been a couple weeks and they still haven't caught Karofsky. I don't know how much me and Kurt can take this."

"That's rough man," Artie shook his head. "Guy's a freak."

"Yeah, you're telling me," Blaine huffed. "Kurt's barley sleeping he's so sore and so freaked out. I don't know how much we can take of this."

"And the police have no leads?" Artie asked.

"No, he just kind of vanished," Blaine sighed. "Any way, I've got to get home."

"See ya man," Artie waved and Blaine waved goodbye. Blaine headed to his car and jumped in, going straight home. Traffic was light so he managed to get home quicker than usual. He parked the car in the driveway and jumped out. He hummed his latest song in his head, bobbing his head. He walked up the front steps and got out his keys.

He froze when he saw that the door was already unlocked. He pushed open the door quietly and frowned when he heard voices.

"Get. Away. From. Me!" Kurt growled.

"You're dead Hummel," another voice snapped and Blaine leapt into his action. He crept into the living room and saw Kurt backed up against a wall, Karofsky looming over him. Some of their belongings were strewn across the floor, an obvious a sign of Karofsky's anger.

Blaine crept forward, catching Kurt's eyes over his shoulder. As he crept up closer he picked up a lamp, clutching it firmly in his hands, mentally preparing himself of what he was about to do. Kurt's eyes widened and his breathing hitched. With swift moved Blaine brought the lamp up and smashed it against Karofsky's head.

Karofsky jolted and he spun around angrily. Blaine was ready though and quickly brought his fist up and collided it with Karofksy's jaw. He went down hard with a loud thud. Karofsky groaned but Blaine was still moving. He grabbed Kurt and scooped him up into his arms and carried him out of the living room and to the kitchen, sitting him on the bench.

"Kurt, shit, are you alright," Blaine gasped, looking Kurt over for further injuries.

"Holy crap," Kurt breathed, starting to shake. "Where...where did you learn to do that?"

"I took up boxing in school," Blaine shook his head. "Not the point at the moment. Did he touch you?"

"No," Kurt shook his head. "He didn't touch me."

"Good," Blaine growled. "I'm going to call the police."

"They're still patrolling outside," Kurt breathed.

"Okay," Blaine nodded and he grabbed the phone. Kurt placed his hand on his shoulder and gripped his hand tightly. The police who were patrolling had given them a number to call in case of an emergency. Blaine quickly dialled it and wrapped an arm around Kurt's waist, looking out for any sign of Karofsky but he was still sprawled out on the ground, struggling and failing to get up.

"Yeah, hi, It's Blaine Anderson. Karofsky's in the apartment and he attacked Kurt," Blaine said into the phone. He nodded and breathed a sigh of a relief. "Okay, thanks."

Blaine hung up and put the phone down. "They're coming now. You sure you're okay?"

"I don't know yet," Kurt shook. "I'm still trying to process what happened."

"Alright," Blaine nodded. The door burst opened and Kurt jumped, nearly falling off the bench. Blaine steadied him with his hands and looked over the island.

"Mr Anderson? Mr Hummel?" an officer called out.

"Kitchen," Blaine called and an officer appeared a few seconds later. He looked them over and assessed that they weren't hurt.

"I'm going to need you to tell me everything that happened," he said, looking between the two.

"Yeah no problem," Blaine nodded. "I- uh – I was coming home from work and when I got here I noticed that the door was unlocked and I came in to see Karofsky cornering Kurt and threatening him so I hit him over the head with a lamp."

The officers eyes widened slightly but he quickly wrote everything down. "Kurt, can you tell us what happened?"

"Ummm, yeah, I was just sitting here when he came barging in, screaming at me," Kurt explained and he shook. Blaine stepped closer to Kurt and rubbed his hand up and down his thigh to comfort him. "he said he was going to kill me."

Kurt broke off, lowering his head into Blaine's neck and whimpered. Blaine soothed his back and gently murmured comforting words into his ear.

"Thank you Kurt," the offer said. "We've got enough now. We'll get him out now."

"Thanks," Blaine thanked him sincerely. The officer nodded and turned on his heel. Kurt kept his head buried in Blaine's neck as they hauled Karofsky out, hands cuffed behind his back.

"Oh my god," Kurt choked, clinging to Blaine tightly with his good hand. Hot tears streamed down his cheeks and he wasn't even sure why he was crying. Blaine didn't question him though, just held him tightly to his body as he cried everything out.

"Coop," Blaine said and Kurt realised that Blaine was on the phone. He didn't even feel Blaine pick up the phone. "They've arrested Karofsky. Just now. Yeah. Listen, can you call Burt on his mobile. He was out getting something. Thanks. Okay, see you soon,"

Blaine put down the phone and Kurt let out a choked sob. "I'm sorry."

"Hey, no need for that," Blaine assured him. "It's okay baby, it's bee a tense few weeks, just let out."

Kurt broke and weeped painfully into Blaine chest who held onto him tightly, letting him get everything he had been keeping inside out. Tears slid down Blaine's cheeks as he listened to Kurt sob painfully. He wrapped his arms more firmly around him, trying to calm him down but allowing him to get all his emotions out.

"Blaine! Kurt!" Burt yelled as the door slammed open and both Burt and Cooper came rushing in. Kurt had managed to calm himself down and they were cuddled carefully on the couch, Kurt's leg propped up and Blaine avoiding his collar bone.

"Living room," Blaine called and Burt and Cooper dashed too them.

"Are you okay?" Burt demanded, looking them over. "How the hell did he get in?"

"He picked the lock," Kurt said mournfully.

Burt growled and swore. Everyone's eyes widened; none of them had heard Burt use that kind of language and Cooper was slightly scared as Burt looked like a very angry bear. Cooper would hate to be on Burt's bad side and hoped that he never would be.

"The police arrested him right?" Cooper asked, looking at Blaine.

"Yeah, they took him away," Blaine nodded. "There is no way he's getting back out on the street any time soon."

Cooper nodded, his face set in determination. "Right, I'm going to request that he not get any bail which when the judge hears everything he does will agree."

"Thank you Cooper," Burt said, clapping him on the shoulder. "You didn't have to take this on."

"Of course I did," Cooper insisted. "You would have done the same for Blaine and myself. You're family now."

Kurt and Burt smiled at this, their hearts speeding up. It had been just the two of them for a long time. It shouldn't have been a shock that Blaine and Cooper considered themselves apart of their family now but it was something they never wanted to lose.

Cooper continued to explain to them about the process of what was going to happen next but Kurt was finding it hard to concentrate. It was finally sinking in that Karofsky was no longer out there. He no longer had to look over his shoulder constantly. No longer had to worry about Karofsky finding him. He had seen Cooper in action, winning case after case. Cooper was an amazing lawyer and his record showed it. He wouldn't rest until Karofsky got the maximum sentence.

He was finally free of Karosfky.

What did you think? Happy reading!
