Crazy4tv: Thanks. I will. I'll try.
DISCLAIMER
Sons of Thunder belongs to CBS, USA, and Chuck Norris. Carlos' background belongs to Jaimi. I only own Leroy's goon from the previous chapter. And yeah, I know it's weird that Gage and Sydney would know who Carlos and Trent are, but they were thrown in like they had always been there, so...whatever. Refers to "Childhood Nightmares" by Jaimi.
Meanwhile, Trent was pacing up and down the room as Rangers Cordell Walker, James "Jimmy" Trivette, Sydney Cooke, Francis Gage, Butch McMann, and district attorney Alex Cahill-Walker stared at him.
"Trent, try to relax," Walker advised.
"Relax? Walker, Leroy's got Carlos," Trent responded. "I mean---Carlos is scared to death of this guy. And not without good reason," he added.
"We understand that, Trent. But panicking isn't going to help get Carlos back," Alex reminded him.
"I don't get it. Who is this guy and why did he take Carlos?" Gage wondered.
"Leroy's Carlos' stepfather, and he was never exactly father of the year," Trent answered with a bitter laugh.
"I remember," Alex said softly.
"I mean, Carlos told me a lot about what Leroy did to me. But not everything. There were only two people who knew the whole truth," Trent added.
"Who?" Sydney asked.
"Carlos' brother...and my father," Trent responded. Then, "Walker, I hate this! I hate just sitting around!"
"I know, Trent. I do too," Walker agreed. The private investigator let out an annoyed sigh.
