A.N Well here's another update – it's short again but I did stay that it would be step by step all the way. And plus I'm kinda just writing it when I get ideas to write about.
Reviewers: RoisieHoneydew – I will try to write quicker but with the start of Uni it might be a bit tough though I'll keep it up - HAYMO94 – I hurried as fast as I could – and angel-flame – hope you stick with me through this very steppy story.
Chapter 3
Slowly the channels buzzed and hummed as John tried to pick up any signal from Alan's watch.
Brains had come up with the idea a while ago and they worked pretty well considering they had one or two temporary glitches.
John wasn't one hundred percent sure as to why Brains had created them but sometimes he was thankful that he had.
They were far more reliable than a mobile phone for one thing and they also weren't that easy to lose...except right now they was no response from his little brother.
Worry and fear was clear in his face as he tried to search for anything that could be a signal but there was absolutely nothing.
"Damn it!" he finally exploded slamming his fists into the computer bank and allowing tears to fall down his face, "Why him? Why not one of us? He's just a kid!" he crumpled to the floor.
He didn't expect anyone to offer him any comfort or support, but when the soft and gentle hands came and hugged him tightly he accepted them all too quickly.
"Shh...it's okay John. We're all worried about him...all of us" said a voice which he did not quite expect to hear.
Slowly he looked up and saw the sparkling blue eyes of Errika, he jumped back, "When did you?" he stammered just managed to stammer out.
"About half-an-hour ago. They thought that it would be safer for me here than at home. The police worked out that the people who..." she paused and chocked back a sob, "...did this knew where we all lived" her voice was strained and John couldn't help but hold onto her even harder than he initially had.
"We will find him won't we?" came Errika's voice from somewhere but John couldn't quite work out as to where it was coming from. But at that point in time both of them were content to know that they weren't the only one going through so much hurt and pain over this incident.
"We won't stop until we have" John said trying to sound brave but not feeling it in his heart at all.
"The boy's life will be safe in my hands for the time being John, but I need you both to hurry or I will loose him" came a voice from somewhere inside John's brain which he had thought he would never have to hear again.
