Chapter 24: To the Rescue

This is it. This is really it. We're gonna actually go in there... and save our folks. And it's totally NOT gonna be easy... but we have to do it... they're counting on us... they might not know we're coming... but they have to be counting on us...

This is what was going through Theo's head, as he, his friends, and Sasha stood from a far distance... looking ahead at the old abandoned building not too far away. It was on the very edge of the city, in the middle of nowhere it seemed.

The building where their parents were being held captive...

And in a few minutes... they were going to sneak in and save them...

Theo held his mother's phone in his hand. He was going to use it to keep in contact with Sasha, who was going to stay behind with Sondra, Fuchsia, the twins and the babies. Harry had his father's phone, April had her mother's phone, and of course, Alya had her own phone.

"Are you sure you wanna do this?" She asked with concern, still wary of what the kids wanted to do.

"We have to..." Theo replied softly, "Our folks are in there, and they need our help..."

"They saved us... now it's our turn..." Harry added, "We'll be okay, Tia Sasha. And if anything happens... call the cops."

Sasha sighed, "Well if you're that determined... go for it. Remember to keep in contact with me. And the authorities should be contacted for back up."

"Thanks..."

"Alright... let's go in there. And get our folks." Theo declared.

Sondra gave her brother a hug, "Be careful... I wish I could come too..." She told him.

"Trust me, sis. You're much safer with Mrs. Miller. But don't worry... I'll be back, with Mom and Dad too."

With that, the four oldest kids walked out of the RV, and towards the huge building. It was cloudy, and they could hear thunder rumbling in the distance.

A storm was brewing, and so was the eventual mission to save their parents.

"Theo... are you sure we can do this...?" Alya asked, "I mean... our parents were just barely able to save us last year... but they're adults... we're just kids..."

"I know... but we know how Reagan works now. He won't be so lucky this time." Theo assured her.

Harry snorted, "Oh? And how are you so sure?"

"... I dunno. But we've got what it takes. I know we do..."

Soon, the quad stood in front of the building. It was a dark grey color, and about six stories high.

Finding their parents was going to be a struggle.

"I'm not looking forward to this..." April moaned, holding on to Harry's arm, "I'd rather wait and let the police handle this."

"It'll be too late by then..." Theo said, before gulping, "We gotta do this... well... here goes nothing... so how are we gonna get in?"

Harry observed the building and began to look around it. On the side appeared to be an open window on the second floor, "I think I found a way..." He said, pointing to said window.

He led his friends to the window as he cupped his hands together, "It doesn't look too far from us, so I can give you guys a boost up."

"And you?" April asked.

"I can climb that."

With that, the teen began to lift his friends one by one up to the window. April was first, so she was able to pull the others through once she got in.

As soon as Harry climbed through, the kids took the time to look at their surroundings. They appeared to be in an empty room. There was nothing... absolutely nothing but an open door.

"Well, they aren't in here, that's for sure..." Theo concluded, "But if we go out the door..."

"Wait!" Harry stopped him before he could start, "I hear someone..."

Quickly, the quad moved behind the door, as they waited for whoever it was to walk by. Once the footsteps faded...

"That was close... too close..." Alya sighed.

"Now we can go," April added.

With that, Theo poked his head out the door. Nothing but a long hallway... no one in sight, "The coast is clear. C'mon..."

The kids walked down the hallway slowly and as quietly as possible.

"It's too quiet..." Harry whispered, sending a quick text to Sasha that they were in the building, "I expected some sort of chaos going on..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The sudden scream of anguish made the kids jump. Whoever that was, they must be in a certain amount of pain.

But for Alya... she seemed to recognize that scream, "That... that voice... it sounded like my Daddy!"

"Are you sure?" April asked.

They heard it again, more sounded even more pained, which made Alya tear up, "I know it is. They're hurting him!"

"Okay, take it easy..." Theo took her hands in his, "It's gonna be okay. We're gonna save him... we're gonna save all of them."

The rich girl looked at her friend and nodded.

"I think it's best if we split up. We might have an easier chance of finding out something. Harry, you come with me. Girls, stick together."

"Be careful..." Alya said.

"We will..."

So it was settled. Harry and Theo headed off in another direction, while April and Alya continued in the direction they were going...

With the boys...

"Harry... what do you think is happening to our folks?" Theo wondered, "I mean... what do you think Reagan has planned for them?"

"Revenge... I mean, it's pretty obvious..." Was Harry's answer, "What else would he want to do to them? Sing to them?"

"You're right... he's probably mad that we escaped and got him thrown in jail... and he's... wait a minute!"

"What?"

"I just realized. When we ran into Reagan in Durham, he said... he was gonna get us... but he got our parents instead. Isn't that confusing?"

Harry took a moment to think about it, "Yeah, that does sound weird. If he was planning to get revenge on us... don't you think he would've grabbed us kids?"

"Unless..." Theo brought up, "He was going for the 'hurt the ones you love' approach. I gotta admit, that was pretty smart."

"Yeah. For a criminal, he knows what he's doing..."

As the two boys rounded a corner, they heard more noises. This time it sounded like two people arguing. The closer they got, the louder it became.

Soon, they found themselves in front of a door... where inside the argument was going on.

"Well, Reagan. We've done everything you wanted us to do. When are we gonna get our due?"

That sounded like Arnie.

"Well, maybe if you fools would stop bugging me about it, I would consider something."

And that sounded like... Reagan.

"C'mon, man. You promised us a hefty sum. You said you wanted to help us get our revenge." Arnie argued.

"And you'll get it, once you get the hell outta my face! I put too much work into this plan! And let's not forget that you asshole's almost screwed up several times. So forgive me if I don't think you're quite worthy of a reward yet."

The boys heard Arnie groaned, "That is some bullshit! We put in as much effort as you did! And that's the thanks we get. Typical of a dumbass criminal to just-"

Click!"Wanna run that by me again?" Reagan's threatening tone sent shivers down Theo and Harry's backs.

There wasn't a response from Arnie.

"I thought not... so why don't you make yourself useful, and check up on my prisoners...?"

"Your prisoners?!"

Click!"... Nevermind. I'll go..."

With that, the door opened suddenly, and the boys hid behind it to avoid being seen. Arnie walked out with a sigh of annoyance before he closed the door and walked the other way. Theo and Harry watched him until he rounded a corner.

"Wow... it looks like Reagan doesn't even treat his own men well..." Harry whispered.

"The more we learn about him, the scarier he gets..." Theo added.

"Now..." They heard the criminal's voice behind the door again, "Where were we... so, ready for some fun...?"

"No! Not now! Not ever! Let me go!"

The boys recognized that voice all too well.

"Dude... that's April's mom!" Harry realized, "And he's gonna hurt her... we've got to stop him."

"But how?" Theo asked.

The older boy looked around, searching for a possible solution to help Leia out, "Maybe... we could provide a distraction... we gotta get him outta the room..."

Coming up with a quick idea, Harry pulled his foot back, kicked the door as hard as he could before grabbed Theo's arm and pulling him to the wall, just as the door opened to hide them.

Reagan opened the door with annoyance and looked around. No one insight. But he knew better. Closing the door, he walked down the hall and around the corner...

... Allowing for Harry and Theo to sneak into the room.

"Mrs. Parker... we're here to save you!" Theo said as they saw Leia tied up and gagged on a bed.

Harry removed the duct tape on her mouth, "Are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm okay... I'm okay..." Was the woman's response, "What are you boys doing here? It's not safe."

"We're here to save you." Theo explained as they helped untie her, "Save everyone, really. Do you know where everybody else is?"

Leia sighed, "Those creeps took your fathers for some sort of painful revenge... and Reagan took me to complete some 'unfinished business'... but you two shouldn't be here."

"It's not just us. April and Alya are here too. But we split up to find everyone." Harry mentioned.

"Oh, God..."

Theo looked at the woman, "I know it's pretty risky. But we couldn't just stand by and do nothing."

"You don't understand. Reagan is much more dangerous this time around than before. You're walking into your own deaths by doing this..."

Before anybody could say anything else, they heard footsteps.

"That's him... we gotta hide..." Theo whispered.

Leia pointed below, "Quick! Under the bed."

With that, the boys ducked underneath the bed, just as Reagan walked back into the room.

"I thought I heard something... but now that we... how did you get out of your binding?" he asked.

Leia chuckled a little, "I'm very... talented. I'm strong enough to break out of things..." Was her excuse for an attempt not to reveal the boys.

The criminal glared at her, "I've known you for years... and I know that rope is your weakness. I figured being a slut on the streets would've shown you that."

"I've also spent time with a pimp, so I know a lot about bondage too..."

"Right..."

As they hid, Theo and Harry listened to the conversation going on. For about fifteen minutes, they listened to Reagan talk dirty to Leia. He didn't appear to do anything to her, but the things he was saying to her made them highly uncomfortable.

Also, they could only imagine what Mr. Parker would do if he heard all of this. If he was mad at Mr. Davis for years, then surely Reagan wouldn't escape his wrath.

Soon, it all came down.

"Why don't you just get it over with?!" Leia asked with a defeated tone.

The boys heard Reagan chuckle, "I was just about to get started. I only wanted to get you aroused..."

Theo gulped. He's gonna hurt her... and there's nothing we can do unless we wanna get hurt too...But before anything else happened, there was a knock at the door, which obviously annoyed Reagan, "Who is it?!"

"Uh, boss. You might wanna come out here." It was one of the henchmen, "There have been some disturbances on the third floor."

"And you need me why?"

"One of the guys say they saw little girls running around."

"I'll be out in a sec."

Theo and Harry instantly knew that the man was talking about April and Alya. Somehow, they were spotted.

Leia seemed to realize it too, for they heard her gasp in shock.

As for Reagan, he walked towards the door, "I'll be right back, cutie. So don't go anywhere."

And then he walked out, closed the door... and locked it.

With the coast clear, Theo and Harry crawled out from under the bed, "I'd hate to say that April and Alya are screwed... but it really looks like they're screwed." Theo frowned.

"Yeah. Not to devalue a girl, but what can they do against Reagan. Alya is terrified of him." Harry added.

Leia sighed, "All we can do is pray that they'll be okay... oh April, my sweet baby girl... wait... where is Fuchsia... and.."

"It's okay. Mrs. Miller is watching them. We're keeping in contact with each other. And soon, the police will be here to help..." Harry assured her, taking out his father's phone, "That reminds me, I better let April know we found you."

"And we better find a way outta here." Theo said as he stared at the door, "I'm thinking, we can get everyone out of the building, trap the bad guys inside, and then the cops can take care of them. Sound like a good plan?"

Harry nodded, "That could work."

"We just gotta make sure we have all the right moves, and that everything is timed right. And hopefully... hopefully... things will turn out okay."

So. Theo, Harry, April, and Alya infiltrate the place where their parents are being held, split up, and the boys end up finding Leia, who appears to not have been assaulted (thank goodness). Next chapter, we'll check up on the girls, and see how their search ends up. Things are gonna get pretty intense, so hold on to your hats. In the meantime, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I'll see you guys later. And as always, don't forget to review, please. Thank you.
