The front door opened and Hunter heard Blake curse and yell his name. Blake, Tori, Shane and Cam ran into the living room and found a badly bruised Hunter and a still naked Dustin.
"Shit bro, what happened?" Blake asked, kneeling down next to his brother. Hunter did the whole story to their friends.
"They raped him damn it." Hunter yelled.
"Shane, take Dustin to my bedroom. Take a pair of pyjamas or something." Blake ordered. Shane nodded and carried Dustin to the bedroom. He found a pair of navy pyjamas and quickly dressed Dustin. He covered Dustin with the blanket and gently stroke some hair out of Dustin's eyes before returning to the others.
"Tori, get some towels and water." Blake ordered. She nodded and disappeared in the kitchen. "Cam, take care of Hunter's wounds while clean up this place a little." Blake ordered. Meanwhile Tori had returned. She handed the bowl and towel over to Cam who nodded as a thank you and disappeared in the kitchen again to make everyone something to drink and to clean up the glass. Everyone was still shocked about what Hunter told them.
"I'll help ya, Blake. Just tell me what to do." Shane offered. Blake sighed and looked around.
"Clean up all the glass and stuff." Blake replied. Shane nodded.
Cam gently took Hunter's chin in his hand and cleaned away all the blood from his noose, lip and scratches on his for head. Then he removed Hunter's shirt, taking a closer look at his chest.
"This might hurt. Try to sit still." Cam warned. Hunter nodded. Cam examined his chest, gently pushing at the places were it looked the worst. Hunter groaned.
"Your lucky, no broken ribs. Try to do as little as possible in the next few days. No rangering either." Cam told him while wrapping the bandage around Hunter's chest. Hunter nodded.
" Thanks, Cam." Hunter said.
"No problemo. Don't you think we should call the police?" Cam asked. Hunter called the police who promised them they were on their way. A quarter later they arrived introducing themselves as det. Steve Sloan and Cheryl Banks ( borrowed them from 'Diagnosis murder') They asked Hunter if he had seen them. Hunter described them the best he could and gave them the names he remembered. Steve asked if he could speak to Dustin which Hunter was against, telling them Dustin had been through a lot and was now sleeping. He promised them he and Dustin would drop by at the police station when Dustin felt up for it. They understood and noted everything Hunter said. They checked out the place, seeing if they might find anything to catch them which they didn't. Steve and Cheryl left it with that and went away, promising they would do everything to catch them. The five of them watched TV for a little longer. Thy decided all to stay at Hunter and Blake's apartment. Blake grabbed some blankets and pillows for him, Tori, Shane and Cam. Hunter slept in his own bed , Cam ordered him, Tori and Blake snuggled at the couch while Shane and Cam laid on the ground. Cam rested his head against Shane's chest. Soon they were all asleep.
The next morning------------------------
Hunter opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, remembering the events off last night. He sighed and sat, a little to fast for his injured ribs. He groaned and rubbed over the painful spots. Then he stood up, searching some clothes that were clean. He really had to remember to clean them sometimes. Mostly it was Blake who did that for him. He walked out of his room and past his brother's room. Dustin was still asleep. He walked in the living room where he found Shane awake. The others were still fast asleep. Hunter walked in the kitchen. Shane followed him.
"Want some coffee?" Hunter asked, yawning and starting the coffee machine.
"Yeah, thanks. How are you feeling?" Shane asked, sitting at the table, studying Hunter.
"A little sore but for the rest I feel fine. So slept well on the floor?" Hunter asked at his turn, turning back to Shane.
"Not really but good enough." Shane replied, nodding as a thank you when Hunter put a cup of coffee in front of his noose.
"Thanks for staying and cleaning up last night." Hunter said, sitting over Shane.
Shane smiled. "No problem. That's what friends do." For minutes they sat in silence, drinking their coffee and eating breakfast. Soon the others were awake too and they were now sitting in the living room, watching some TV while they waited for Dustin to wake up. No one knew what to expect as a reaction but they were here for him, no matter what. They reaction they got surprised them.
"Hey guys." Dustin said, cheerfully as he walked past them and in the kitchen. Hunter was about to say something but then thought better of it and just looked surprised at the others who didn't seem to get it either. Dustin reappeared from the kitchen, holding a sandwich.
"I'm going to Storm Charger, see you guys later." Dustin said as he walked in the hall way putting on his shoes. Hunter walked behind him.
"Are you okay?" Hunter asked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Dustin replied, looking weird at him. Dustin walked out. Hunter returned to the others.
"That was just... weird." He said. The others nodded in agreement.
"Any one an idea what's going on with him?" Shane asked, mostly looking at Cam.
"I might have a few ideas. Or he's blocking out his feelings, giving the impression he's alright which he's obviously not or he simply forgot what happened which sometimes happens when something bad happens to you." Cam explained.
"I go for the first one." Shane replied. He continued when he saw the looks the others gave him. "His eyes. You usually see all the emotion in them. When something's wrong you see it. When he smiled, it always reaches his eyes. Now they seemed so...empty." He told them. The others nodded, Shane did have a point.
"So what do we do about it? He can't block out his feelings for ever." Blake sighed.
"I might know something which I think you guys aren't gonna like much." Shane started.
"What?" Hunter asked curious.
"Well, you can try doing to him what those guys did..." Shane started but was quickly interrupted.
" What?!" Hunter yelled.
"No, not all the way. Just be rough. He's bound to remember then. If it doesn't work you just stop." Shane explained.
"No, I'm not doing that." Hunter said firm.
"I hate to admit it but Shane has a point." Cam spoke.
"Or you do it or I do it." Shane said, staring directly in Hunter's eyes, letting him know he was serious which he wasn't. he hated to see his friend like this but would never do that. He hoped this would convince Hunter.
"I swear, if you touch him, I'm gonna kill you." Hunter threatened, standing up. Shane stood up too, looking at him challenging. Before the situation could get out of hand, Tori stood between them.
"Shane, back off. It's hunter's choice." She said to Shane before turning to Hunter. "You decide if you do it or not." She spoke. Hunter thought for a moment. It might work. He would do everything to get Dustin back to normal. Although he wasn't sure if he preferred a half happy Dustin ,like this, or a depressed Dustin. Finally he reached a decision.
"Fine, I'll do it." Hunter sighed.
"Good, that's settled. In a few hours me and Tori will go to Storm Chargers and let you know when he leaves. As for now, let's clean because this place looks like we just suffered from an earthquake." Blake said, looking around. His and Hunter's room were still a mess, in the kitchen there was still some glass and the hallway looked like a mute of god knows what stormed through. The living room was the most live able room of the apartment. Everyone nodded. Blake and Hunter disappeared in their rooms, cleaning while Cam and Shane made an attempt to clean the hallway. Tori worked in the kitchen some more. A few hours later the place already looked more like before. The kitchen door still needed a new glass but they fixed that by placing some wood in front of it. Tori and Blake left for Storm Chargers. Shane and Cam decided to stick around until Blake told them Dustin was one his way. Hunter was pacing back and forth through the room. Shane switched on TV, hoping that would calm Hunter a little. Hunter flopped down next to Cam and tried to watch TV but he kept thinking about Dustin and all the things that could happen when he tried their plan: Dustin could break up, get extremely depressed or still not show any emotions.
"Guys, Dustin's on his way." Came Blake's voice. "I'm going with Tori okay?"
"Okay." Hunter replied.
"Good luck." Both Tori and Blake said.
" Thanks." Hunter replied. In less then a few seconds all the colour had drained form his face...
