Chapter 122.
"Boys, can you come down for a minute?" Matilda requested.
Cal and Ethan headed down the stairs and walked in to the living room.
"We are going on holiday" Matilda told them with a smile, she had felt like the boys had deserved a treat after their hard work.
"Where?" Ethan asked, as he looked up at his Mum, who ruffled her sons hair.
She smiled. "America "
Cal's eyes lit up and he yelled excitedly.
"Are you happy Ethan?" Matilda asked.
"OK, " He said.
Matilda smiled and Ethan left to pack a few things that he needed, while Matilda went to pack their clothes and dig out their passports.
After, a few hours, in the airport where Cal had complained that he was bored and Ethan sat reading a book, they had finally boarded the plane, and Cal had taken the window seat, while Ethan sat next to him. Matilda sat behind them both.
Ethan was tired, so Cal had offered to give him a piggyback as they stood in the foyer of the hotel, it had marble flooring and a chandelier as Matilda waited to go up to the front desk.
Their hotel room had a double bed for her and a kitchen area, there was another door with two twin beds.
"Can we go the waterpark?" Cal asked Matilda.
"Maybe tomorrow " She answered as she lay the boys pj's out on the beds as it was late and she knew that Ethan was tired.
Cal had convinced Matilda that he would be fine to look after Ethan, in their hotel room, while she went to get some food from the supermarket, it was late around 10 at night, but in America it was still really hot.
Suddenly, two men in masks, burst in to the apartment.
They grabbed Ethan as he was the nearest one.
"Get off him " Cal said furiously as he watched Ethan struggle against one of the men. Another man was holding him, but he kicked out as hard as he could.
"Cal" The younger one cried, as he was dragged away by the masked men, Cal could still hear his terrified cries.
"It's okay mate" Cal said, running after him, as he hit the wall in frustration.
"Where's Ethan?" Matilda asked as she returned to the hotel room, unpacking the bags.
That was the one question that Cal didn't want to answer. "Cal?" Matilda said again.
Cal took a deep breath and started to talk. "Some men burst in and took him away "
"What?" Matilda shouted, Ethan was her baby boy and she couldn't bare to see him alone and scared.
Reaching for the phone, she was all set to ring the police.
"They said don't Mum " Cal told her.
But Matilda knew it was the right thing to do.
Ethan was bundled in to the back of a van, his mouth had tape on and his feet were bound.
"Please" Ethan cried. The van had stopped and the doors had been opened and Ethan had been pulled out, and pulled in to a house, with his blindfold on.
"If mummy pays up, we'll let you go " One of the men said as another one pulled the gag off him and tipped water down his throat. All, too soon, the bottle was pulled away and the gag was re- put on him and he was marched to a darkened room.
Matilda had rung the police and they had interviewed her and Cal, they had listened to her, and they were patient with her as she cried.
"Take your time, Miss Hardy " One of them said, pouring her a glass of water.
"I was out, leaving my oldest son, Caleb to mind Ethan when two robbers come in, and took him "
"We'll set up a TV appeal " Said the policemen as Matilda nodded and walked out, and headed back to the room.
It was the day that Ethan's appeal went out and Cal had wanted to come but Matilda wasn't so sure, she had already lost one, she didn't want to lose another one.
Two officers prepped her on what and not to do.
"Please," Matilda cried, dabbing at her eyes, with a tissue, "I just want my son back"
Cal squeezed his mothers hand, as the press conference come to an end.
Cal and Matilda returned to their room and Matilda burst in to tears.
"Mum, don't cry " Cal comforted her, when he saw a note on the table, the writing was scruffy. With trembling fingers, he passed the note to Matilda, who unfolded it and read it.
"If you want to see your son again, I want £55, 000.
Matilda gasped, she didn't have that kind of money. Anything, she had, she spent on her children, they were her world.
Ethan was cold, and hungry. He hadn't ate the takeaway Matilda had brought him and he now wishes he had.
"Hungry?" One of them asked, chucking a sandwich at him. Ethan grabbed at it, hungrily as they locked the door again.
Matilda answered the door to the two policemen and she instantly feared that something had happened to her son.
"Miss Hardy, we've found your son "
"Oh, Ethan " She sobbed, wrapping her arms around him.
The policemen come in. "They left him on the side of the road "
He had been taken to the hospital for a check up, and apart from a few cuts and bruises he was fine.
Matilda vowed not to let him out of her sight.
Ethan, was in bed, Matilda had cut their holiday short as she could see that Ethan wasn't coping well.
"No!" Ethan screamed, it was clear he was having a nightmare about being kept locked up.
Cal got out of bed and in to his brothers. "Shh, mate, it's ok" He soothed.
"C- Cal?" He sobbed, burying his face in to his shirt.
Cal ran his fingers through his hair and hugged him close. He felt his body relax in to his as he fell asleep. But, instead of getting in to his own bed, he stayed with Ethan, he held him tight and that's how Matilda found them, the next morning, which was a Saturday, when she took them in breakfast.
"Yes " Matilda was on the phone, in the kitchen. "Thank you "
"Mum" Cal asked. "What?"
"They've arrested the men that kidnapped Ethan. They go on trial "
Cal was happy, they deserved to go to prison.
She headed upstairs.
Leaning forward, she kissed her son's head as she wiped her son's tears and hugged him.
The boys were back at school and everyone knew about Ethan's kidnapping.
Michael Whitefield, was a boy in Ethan's class, he was a bully. "I heard he cried for his mummy "
"Shut it " Cal snapped, punching him in the nose, leaving it to bleed, Cal walked away with a satisfied smirk.
"Cal, you shouldn't do that " Ethan said.
Cal shrugged and turned Ethan around to face him. "Ethan, I'll do anything for you "
