Kyle and Casey had both drifted off to sleep and were both woken up by a slamming of car doors. They looked at the door praying that it would be their brothers but as soon as the doors open, they see their father, with his two thugs.
"Aww were the babies sleeping." Danny laughs as he can see both boys are slowly waking up. Danny walks over to Kyle and grips his hair and pulls.
"Arghh!" Kyle yells out in agony; he can feel hairs coming out of the top of his head. Suddenly he felt fully awake.
"Stop it!" Casey yells. His father's pulling really hard on his brother's hair, and he can see the pain on Kyle's face.
"You stay out of it!" Danny snarls at Casey and then turns his attention back to Kyle. "You owe me an apology little boy!" He barks in Kyle's ear.
"I'm sorry Dad!" Kyle immediately screams out, he doesn't even know why he's apologizing, he just wants this grip off his hair.
Danny grins wickedly. He is not done with his son yet. "That's good! Now what are you sorry for?" Danny asks as he tightens his grip on his son's hair.
"For running away!" Kyle whimpers.
Danny pulls his hair tightly.
"Aghhhhh, for going to my brothers for help!" Kyle blurts out.
Danny pulls his hair again.
"For telling them you hurt me!" Kyle screams out in agony.
Danny slaps his across the face hard.
"For going to the hospital." Kyle cries out weakly.
Danny crouches down to Kyle's level and punches him hard in the eye, this causes Kyle to yell out in pain. "You forgot the most important one. You need to apologies for being born!"
"No! Leave him alone, what has he ever done to you! You just beat him for no reason! It's cruel, you're a dick! You are just jealous because we want Kyle in our family, and we don't want you! You are going to end up being a sad lonely old man, that's if you live that long, but I can tell you one thing, when you die, no one will be sad. In fact, i might even make it our families own personal celebration." Casey hisses only to get a slap across the face from Danny with his one available hand.
"I need to teach you how to treat me respect again, those brothers of yours have brought you up all wrong! I'm going to have teach you all over again!" Danny snarls as he finally let go of Kyle's hair. He turns to Grant and Matt. "Untie Casey, this beating is going to be more effective if he's not tied up." Danny orders and Grant and Matt immediately untie Casey.
"You run and I won't stop you, but I'll kill him, and I'll make him suffer! You are not going to get help fast, so I'll have several hours to torture him before I kill him." Danny threatens Casey.
Once Casey is let go, he rubs his wrists, but he doesn't run. He can't leave Kyle here. Danny wasn't one to make empty threats. He would do exactly what he promised to Kyle and Casey couldn't let that happen.
"Okay, now say you're sorry for what you said!" Danny orders. He slaps Casey hard across the face.
"Not going to happen." Casey snarls. "You may be able to push Kyle around but not me. I'm not apologising." Casey huffs.
"And why not!" Danny snarls. He pushes his son to the floor and then kicks him in the stomach.
Kyle wants to yell out, he really does. He wants to save his brother from their fathers wicked temper, but he doesn't have the guts.
"Because I'm not sorry! I meant every word!" Casey barks.
Kyle's head drops, his little brother is so much braver than he is. His brother saved him from their dad and he's too scared to re pay the favour.
"Now you're getting it!" Danny barks and grabs Casey by his shirt and punches him three times in the face then twice in the stomach. He chucks him to the ground, then pulls off his belt.
Kyle turns his head; he knows what's coming and he doesn't like it. Danny notices and turns to Grant and Matt. "Make him look, I want him to see what I'm going to do to him if he ever disrespects me!" Danny yells. Suddenly Kyle's hair is grabbed again, and he is made to look in front of him.
"Arghh!" He grunts in pain.
Casey is wiping the blood off his lips and looking up at his father. "Brax and Heath are coming and when they get here, they are going to kill you, you dick!" Casey barks only to be whipped by Danny's belt three times.
"YOU NEED TO SHOW ME RESPECT!" Danny yells whipping Casey with the belt with every word that he spoke. Kyle closes
his eyes, he doesn't want to watch. Casey's eyes are shut in agony. His father had never hit him with a belt before.
"Make him watch!" Danny barks at Grant. He has noticed that Kyle's eyes were shut, and he didn't like it.
Grant bends down and hisses in Kyle's ear. "You listen here you little punk! Open your eyes right now or I'll stab them with a fork. Kyle's eyes immediately open. He doesn't want to watch but he wants to keep his eyes in their sockets more. He can see the pain on Casey's face.
Danny hits him with the belt twenty more times. By this point Casey is gasping for breath. Danny stops and sneers down at Casey.
"Do you have something to say to me then?" Danny asks. He kicks Casey in the stomach.
"I'm sorry I called you a dick and that I said no one would miss you and that I didn't respect you." Casey manages to spit out. He is struggling to breath. Danny nods and laughs wickedly.
"Good, now we will do this again tomorrow, then the day after that then the day after that and so on, then you'll never disrespect me again." Danny smiles. He looks at Kyle who has pure fear in his eyes. He walks over to him and crouches down to his level. "You're lucky I don't beat you as well. "He laughs. He then decides to take it even further. "Thank me for not beating you!" He orders.
"Thanks for not beating me Dad." Kyle mumbles, knowing that there is no point disobeying his father.
"Awwww aren't you a little sweetheart." Danny grins and ruffles up Kyle's hair. He then turns to the two boys. "Tie him up again." He orders, pointing to Casey. Then back to Kyle. "I'm sorry you and I didn't spend much quality time together this time around Kylie. But don't worry we will next time." Danny laughs and then turns to see that Casey is successfully tied up again. "Let's go to our hotel boys." He says and they start walking to the door he then turns to look at Casey and Kyle. "You two would love it! It's got a pool, a bar and an all you can eat restaurant. I would invite you but I can see you're a bit tied up." Danny says laughing at his dumb joke. The three of them walk out of the room and drive off again.
"He wants to leave us here to suffer." Casy mumbles as he feels the cuts on his back press hard against the poll. He winces from the pain. This causes Kyle to look down.
"I'm sorry Case, I should have protected you. That's an older brother's job." He mumbles. Still unable to look his brother in the eye. His is ashamed of himself. He should have done more.
"That's where you are wrong Kyle. It's not an older brother's job, it's a brother's job. We protect each other, I don't care that you are older than me, I will protect you. Besides how much older than me are you anyway? Two years? That's nothing." Casey says as he looks at his brother who is still looking down. "Hey, look at me Kyle!" He says and is pleased when Kyle raises his head. "You are part of our family and we will always protect each other. I will always protect you. I don't care what the consequences are." Casey says and is surprised to see tears in Kyle's eyes.
"But you're scared of him, you told me yourself." Kyle mumbles. He then looks at the camera and sighs. "Do you think he's spying on us? Or maybe sending it to Brax and Heath? Or maybe both?" He asked.
"I think both. He will want to watch us in agony, and he will use it to torture Brax and Heath." Casey mumbles and turns to Kyle. "And yes, I am scared of Danny, but you're more scared and he's hurt you more than he's ever hurt me." Casey admits.
"Thanks Casey, I just wish that I was with you guys when I was a kid, I could have really used some brothers." Kyle admits and smiles lightly at Casey.
...
Two hours later
Brax and Heath are currently on their phones, they have been for hours. Trying to find anyone who knew the name Matt Jones, however so far, they have come up with nothing. "Brax, what are we going to do! You know what Danny's like! He will be punishing them and beating them! We have to find them." Heath sighs.
"I know that, but what are we meant to do there is no trace of them." Brax grunts and just then his phone beeps meaning that he has received an email. Walking over to his phone he picks it up and his face drops. He races over and grabs his laptop and opens his emails.
"What's wrong?" Heath asks as he looks at the look on his older brother's face.
"It's from Danny, a video and a link." Brax says as he looks at Heath who looks just as scared as he feels. Clicking on the video he sees Danny punching and kicking Casey while one of the thugs is holding Kyle by the hair and making him watch.
Brax clenches his teeth in anger. How could Danny do this to them. They are just kids, and he is meant to be their father. Although he never was much of a father.
As soon as the video is done Brax clicks out of it and hovers his mouse over the link. "What do you think it is?" Heath asks.
"I don't know." Brax sighs and clicks on it and his mouth drops. "It's a live link, look at them Heath. Casey's struggling to stay awake and Kyle looks terrified." Brax sighs as he looks at the looks on his little brothers faces.
"Dammit!" Heath swears as he punches the wall causing it to create a hole. "I'm going to kill him! He's a monster! He deserves to die! Who does that to their own kids!" Heath screams. Just then the girls walk in.
"Have you found Casey yet?" Tamara asks as she runs into the house. Brax quickly shuts the laptop so that the girls do not see the live video.
"No, Danny's covered his tracks really well, but he sent us a..." Heath starts to say only to hit around the head by Brax.
"Shut up you idiot." Brax hisses. The last thing Tamara needed to hear was that there was a video of her boyfriend getting beaten up.
"Sent you a what?" Tamara asks as she glares at the two oldest Braxtons, when neither answers Ricky steps in. "Brax, what did he send you."
Brax looks at Heath who shrugs lightly. "Just tell them, they deserve to know."
"Okay, Danny sent us a video of him beating up Casey, he also sent us a live link of the boys." Brax says and opens up the link again. He turns the laptop around so that the girls can see it. He and Heath then walk away slightly so they can talk about their plans.
"Look at Casey! He's had such a bad beating and it's only a matter of time before Kyle gets the same treatment." Tamara mumbles as she looks at her bruised and bloody boyfriend and his brother.
"This is an actual website!" Bianca hisses as she looks at the amount of people currently viewing it.
Brax and Heath race over to the laptop, how did they miss that. There were currently 541 people viewing it! 541 sick people!
"Hold on, there are comments." Tamara gasps. She is about to click on comments to bring them all up when the laptop is slammed shut.
"Oi!" Tamara yells.
"You are not seeing these comments! Heath and I can see them but not you!" Brax says, he knows the types of comments that will be on here and he doesn't think the girls should have to read them.
"Casey's my boyfriend!"
"Yeah, and they are both our little brothers! Look we will find them but you reading these comments isn't going to help! Tamara these people are sitting here and watching two young men tied to polls. Most would have watched while Casey got beat up. These comments are going to be horrible.
Ricky looks at Brax and knows exactly what he means. There are some sick people in the world and there is no doubt that the things that they will be commenting will not make Tamara, her or Bianca feel any better about the situation.
"Come on Tam, Brax has a point. Look the boys will keep us in the loop, but we've got to go." Ricky says as she tries to persuade Tamara.
"Fine but keep us in the loop." Tamara says as she glares at the two boys before she makes her way out of the house.
As soon as the girls leave Brax opens up the laptop again and is about the click on comments then he pauses.
"You sure about this Brax. Who knows what these sickos are going to be saying." Heath says. Reading these comments isn't going to help. It's only going to upset the two of them.
Brax has made up his mind though and clicks once so that all the comments come up.
Such handsome boys
How old?
Beat the pretty one next
Take their clothes off
I'd love to see some action.
Brax shuts the laptop and runs the back of his neck. Why were there such sick people in the world. Suddenly his phone rings and he sees the name come up on his phone.
"Danny! If you hurt them again I swear.." Brax starts only to be interupted by Danny.
"You'll do what? Kill me? Then how will you find your darling baby brothers." Danny laughs.
"I'll find them!" Brax hisses. Him and Heath will be able to find out where their baby brothers are.
"Oh Darryl! You'll never find them but if you keep an eye on the live video, you'll get clues. But i won't be able to tell you when the clues are coming so you'll have to keep an eye out and watch the live video. All will make sense soon son." Danny laughs wickedly and hangs up the phone.
Brax drops his phone on the table and then runs his hands through his hair again. He has to watch his brothers being tortured to get the clues to save them. This can't be happening.
