Hi the author here, I just wanted to say thank you for continuing to read this fanfic even though I haven't updated it till now since going back to uni I've been super busy as it's my final year. Also, I got the chance to go to Belfast for the first time which really helped my final project (dissertation) so I'm only now just finding the time to upload anything new.
Idea by Zoe-eoZ (fanfiction): when he was stuck in that container, I would have liked for it to be a bit more dramatic and dire (maybe they could have been found later…) and maybe Heath and Brax could have been there too to help with Kyle.
Just so everyone knows the hospital explosion hasn't happened in this but Brax (not in jail either) has been at the with Ricky and Heath and Bianca have been caught in the explosion either as it never happened.
Chapter 25 – Containment
Summer Bay – The Beach
"Hey Casey!" Tamara shouts as she walks down the beach.
Looking up from what he was doing Casey, sees his ex walking over: "Hey Tam, what's up?"
"Have you seen Kyle anywhere?"
"Not since I interrupted him and this chick he called…"
"Phoebe!"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"I had the pleasure of meeting her the other day."
"Jealous by any chance?"
"No! Why would I be?"
"No reason." Casey smiles "Anyway Kyle said he was letting Phoebe use the shower and everything but was heading back to the festival."
"Well he never showed up! Are you sure he left?" Tamara quizzes.
"Yes Tam I'm sure, he was putting his coat on as I walked out the door." Casey says just as he sees Zac approach the two of them.
"Have you two seen the twins?" Zac inquired "As they weren't where I told them to meet me."
Tamara turns to Zac: "Sorry Zac, I haven't seen either of them as I've been too busy looking for Kyle."
"Neither have I Zac but then again I've been working the whole entire time." Casey adds to the conversation.
Wanting to continue his search he says bye to Casey and Tamara and takes off.
Meanwhile…
Shipping Dock – Container
"SOMEONE HELP US!" Evie and Oscar yell from inside the container.
"Evie, we should stop for now as it's obvious no one is going to help us." Oscar says to his twin sister.
Backing away from the door, Evie says: "How can dad do this to us?"
"I don't know." Oscar says then goes over to the middle of the container and bends down "Do you think Kyle will be ok?"
"I hope so because if he isn't then God knows what will happen to us." Evie answers her brother as she finally sits down.
The Next Day…
Summer Bay – The Beach/Surf Club Path
"Come on Tamara, don't you think that you're just worrying about nothing?" Casey asks as the pair walk up the beach path that leads to the Surf Club.
"No Casey I don't. I have this feeling that something is seriously wrong because Kyle was so excited for this festival and he wouldn't leave me to deal with it all alone and you know that!" Tamara answers back just as she sees Zac.
Running over to their friend Tamara asks Zac if he had found the twins yet and Zac says: "No I haven't found them yet and I haven't seen or heard from them since yesterday when I dropped them of at the festival."
"That's the same amount of time Kyle has been missing and Casey you can't say that's a coincidence." Tamara replies while looking at the youngest Braxton.
"I wasn't going to so don't worry." Casey tells her "I think we should tell Brax and Heath about them all being missing."
"Well it couldn't hurt to have extra people out looking for them." Zac agrees.
With that the three of them go off in search of the two oldest Braxtons to get help with their search for Kyle and the twins.
At the same time…
Shipping Dock – Container
"Why hasn't he woken up yet?" Evie says while looking at Kyle.
Oscar moves over to his sister: "He got hit over the head Evie."
"I know that! I just don't understand why he hasn't woken up yet?"
"Head injuries vary from person to person remember, Hannah told use that." Oscar explains.
"Oh yeah I forg…" Evie says just as a moan comes from the middle of the container.
Kyle who had been unconscious since getting hit over the head yesterday was slowly starting to wake up. The twins got up from where they were and moved over to help him.
"Wha What happened?" Kyle slurs as he wakes up.
"You've been hit over the head and you've been unconscious for a long time so just take it easy." Oscar informs him.
Trying to get up, Kyle puts his hand to the back of his head when his hand suddenly feels wet. Kyle puts his hand back in front of him and discover that the wet sensation he felt was blood. His head was bleeding.
"Where are we?"
"Some sort of container is all we could gather as it was dark when we got here, and no one spoke in the car the whole time." Evie steps in to answer his question.
"We need to get out of here." Kyle says as he stands up and starts banging on the wall.
The twins just look at each other silently and then get up and copy what Kyle is doing, in hopes that someone heard and came to their rescue.
12 minutes later…
Angelos
"So, what you're saying is that both Kyle and the twins having been missing for the same amount of time and no one has seen or heard from them since yesterday?" Brax quizzes the three people stood in front of him.
"Yes, that's exactly what we are saying." Zac answers him.
"Come on Brax this can't just be a coincidence." Tamara throws into the conversation.
Just then Heath enters the restaurant: "What's going on?"
Brax quickly fills Heath in with what has been going on while the two of them have been busy with their own lives.
"We need to find them then." Heath says.
Suddenly Zac's phone rings. It's Hannah who tells him Ethan was brought into the hospital after getting hit by a car and he has died however he said that the twins were no longer their problem.
"What the hell is that meant to mean?" Zac says after getting off the phone. "They are no longer our problem. It makes no sense, but Hannah was adamant that was what he told her."
"Right I guess we know what happened to the twins now but that still leaves us with what happened to Kyle?" Casey states.
"Well Hannah did say that amongst Ethan's stuff there was another phone which had a blue phone cover with a guitar on it." Zac lets everyone know "She's going to bring everything with her so we can go through it."
"That's Kyle's phone." Tamara tells them "I got him that phone case for his birthday."
"So, he had Kyle as well." Heath answers.
Brax who had been listening to the conversation tells Zac to let Hannah know to meet them at their house.
20 minutes later…
Shipping Dock – Container
While the others were trying to figure out what had happened to them, the twins and Kyle were sat trying to figure out what to do.
"Guys, you need to remember how long we drove before we got here." Kyle explains.
Oscar pipes up: "We drove for about an hour but like Evie said earlier they didn't say a word on the way here."
"It felt like forever." Evie says as she takes her jacket off "Also, why is it so hot in here?"
Kyle takes his jacket off too: "It's because we are in a container and its hot outside too."
"Well surely that can't be good." Oscar says as he takes his hoodie off.
"No, it isn't." Kyle informs them "The fact we don't have any water either doesn't help. This means we either need someone to find us or we need to get out of here ourselves."
"How are we meant to do that Kyle?" Evie asks him "No one knows where we are."
5 minutes later…
"Guys, you need to remember how long we drove before we got here." Kyle repeats himself.
"We've already told you." Oscar says while looking at Evie.
"No, you haven't." Kyle states
Evie starting to become worried, asks: "Kyle, are you feeling ok?"
"Yeah I'm fi fine!" Kyle says starting to get annoyed with them.
Standing up, Kyle wobbles which makes the twins worry even more.
"Kyle, I think you should sit back down." Oscar points out as he walks over to him.
"Wh why? I sa said I was fi fine." Kyle says again "Apa apart from th this horr horrible taste in my…"
Before Kyle has a chance to finish what he was saying he suddenly falls to the floor and starts fitting in front of the twins.
At the same point in time…
Braxton House – Dining Room
"Wait what was that in the background?" Zac asks as they all listen to a voicemail that had just been left on Ethan's phone.
"It sounded like a train." Hannah responds. "Which means that they are being held in shipping container somewhere beside train tracks."
Quickly grabbing the laptop from the living room, Tamara rejoins everyone back at the table. Quickly searching a map for shipping docks in the area that has both containers and train tracks.
"Got it!" Tamara saying turning the laptop round "There's only one that had both containers and train tracks. However, it's about an hour's drive from here."
Brax gets up from the table and starts grabbing his bag (which he takes on weekend getaways with Ricky) and filling it with supplies.
"What you doing?" Casey asks.
"Well when we find them, they might be hurt and or need water." Brax explains "Right, that's everything let's go."
With that they all follow after Brax to go and rescue the twins and Kyle.
11 minutes later…
Shipping Dock – Container
"This is so not good." Oscar says while Evie is banging on the container to try and get someone's attention.
Turning around to look at her brother, Evie agrees: "We need to get out of here right now Oscar. Kyle needs help and he is so not going to get it while we are trapped in here."
"Yeah but what can we do after all you just said we are trapped in here."
"I don't know alright!" Evie shouts before making her way back over to her brother.
"Look we can't argue ok? It isn't going to help the situation we just need to focus on making sure Kyle doesn't have another seizure."
"How long was it anyway?"
"Three minutes. I'm starting to thin…" Oscar stops speaking as he notices that Kyle was starting to twitch again.
"Not again!" Evie shouts as she helps her brother turn Kyle onto his side and then starts to time it.
5 minutes later…
Eventually Kyle stops fitting and the twins roll him back onto his back.
"How long?" Oscar questions his sister.
"Five minutes, that was longer than the first one." Evie reminds him.
"We need to get him to a hospital." Oscar tells her.
"How Oscar do you plan on doing that?" Evie asks as they just look at each other.
1 hour and 3 minutes later…
Shipping Dock
"Right, we all need to split up." Brax states looking around "This place is huge which means they could be anywhere."
Hannah decided to mention: "We also need to be quick because in this heat these containers will be like ovens."
With that they all start banging on different containers in hopes of finding the twins and Kyle.
7 minutes later…
Zac bangs on a container and gets nothing back so walks on to the next one and repeats the banging, but still nothing so starts to move when he hears a faint banging.
Running back over to the container he shouts for everyone else and then shouts into the container: "Guys, hold on we are going to get you out of there."
Casey suddenly appears but notices the lock on the container and starts searching for something to break it. Quickly picking up a piece of metal he walks back over to the container just as the others appear. Breaking the lock, he throws the metal away as him and Zac open the door.
Shipping Dock – Container
Evie and Oscar look at the door just as a stream of light bursts into the container.
Zac, Casey, Heath and Brax run in and start helping.
"Kyle needs to get to a hospital straight away." Oscar informs them.
"Why?" Heath asks as they try to wake Kyle.
"He got hit over the head when we got taken and only woke up this morning technically. Then he's slurred his words and repeated himself before having a fit. He has had four fits in total." Evie lets them all know.
"HANNAH!" Zac shouts as Casey guides the twins out of the container.
Entering the container, Hannah asks: "Are you two ok?"
"We are but Kyle isn't." The twins say in unison.
Moving out the way so the twins could get out she rushes over to the three men who are surrounding Kyle.
"The twins said he got hit over the head, didn't wake up till about six hours ago and in the past hour and 45 minutes has had four fits." Zac tells her.
"Call for an ambulance, we need to get him to hospital and get the twins checked out." Hannah demands as she starts to check Kyle over.
32 minutes later…
Hospital
"What have we got?" Nates asks as Hannah comes in.
"Kyle Braxton aged 23 was hit over the head yesterday then stuck in container till we found him about half an hour ago, but he's had four seizures in the space of an about an hour and 45 minutes, before we found him." Hannah relays everything the twins told them all.
"Get him into resus straight away." Nate calls as Kyle is pushed into a room. "Someone check them two over as well."
Hospital – Resus
"What happened Hannah?" Nates asks as he enters the room.
Attaching Kyle to all the wires, Hannah explains: "Ethan kidnapped the twins and from what they said Kyle tried to help them but got hit over the head and taken with them. He then locked them in shipping container and had two guys keep an eye on the container but then Ethan died after being hit by the car and them two guys left a message on his phone stating they weren't hanging around anymore and took off."
Listening to what the nurse was saying, Nate starts to look at Kyle's head: "They were right there's a nasty wound on the back of his head which still appears to be bleeding which isn't a good sign if this happened yesterday evening. We need to stop it before he los…"
Just as Nate was saying what they need to do, Kyle starts fitting again: "Quickly we need to get him on his side."
59 minutes later…
Hospital – Waiting Room
"We've been here an hour, and no one has told us what is happening." Heath says as he paces the room.
"Heath just sit down as pacing isn't going to help anything is it?" Bianca tells her fiancé.
Just then the door to the waiting room opens and Nate appears.
"How is he?" Tamara asks.
Nate looks at her then says: "I'm sorry that it has taken so long for me to come and let you know what is going but not long after Kyle got here, he suffered another seizure which lasted about two minutes. So, we took him down for a CT scan to make sure there wasn't any serious damage done to his head. Luckily there only seems to be a small amount of bruising to his brain which will heal on its own."
"But?" Brax interrupts "Something is wrong still."
"Kyle still hasn't woken up which is what is starting to concern me this could just be his body's response or there is an underline issue that we don't know about. So, I need to ask is there anything you can think of that could be causing this?"
Everyone says no as they don't know what it could be. With that Nate tells them they can go and see him.
14 minutes later…
Hospital – Kyle' Room
"How is this even happening?" Ricky asks after Brax had gone to let her know what had happened "I also don't understand why no one told me till now about Kyle."
"We didn't want to worry you until we knew what was going on." Bianca tells her friend.
While they were all talking about why no one told Ricky before now, Casey and Tamara were stood on the other side of Kyle talking.
"He doesn't deserve this Casey." Tamara states as she holds Kyle's hand.
"Once upon a time I would have said he did but since getting to know him I can agree with you." Casey says.
"Do you th..." Tamara stops talking as she feels pressure on her hand "Kyle? Can you hear me?"
Everyone stops talking and looks at Kyle, who was starting to wake up. Heath runs out the room to grab Nate and the pair quickly enter the room.
"Kyle, can you open your eyes for me?" Nate asks as he stands beside the bed.
Slowly, Kyle opens his eyes and looks around the room.
"That's good Kyle." Nate says with a smile "Can you remember what happened?"
Suddenly Kyle sits up right: "The Twins! Where are they?"
Noticing that his brother was starting to become distressed, Brax answers: "They are fine mate. Zac and Hannah have taken them home, but they will be glad to know that you are ok."
With that Kyle starts to relax and lies back down. Nate ushers everyone out the room so he can complete his check on Kyle.
Hospital – Corridor
"I'll tell you something." Brax says to the others.
"What is it Brax?" Ricky asks her boyfriend.
"Our brother is brave!" Brax replies which has the others all agreeing.
With that they head back to the waiting room until they can go back and see Kyle.
