Betrayed: Chapter 5

by OLTLfantimes10

The kidnapper hid in the closet of Shaun's room. He saw the boy come into the room and walk towards the closet. Shaun opened the door to closet to get his clothes out for school tomorrow. The Kidnapper stepped out and grabbed Shaun. He leaned into the boy and placed his hand over his mouth. In his hand he had a towel that was soaked in chloroform. It knocked Shaun out. He picked the boy up and threw him over his shoulder. He made his way out the shatter window and down the ladder he had placed against the house. As they went thru the window Shaun's arm was cut on the glass. He stopped and went back into the house and grabbed the first thing he could find that would stop the bleeding. He used it to stop the bleeding and dropped it as he carried Shaun to the car waiting around the corner.

He tucked Shaun into the back seat and threw a blanket over him and drove off. He made his way to the city limits of Llanview and found his way to a cabin deep in the Llantano Forest. He drove up to the cabin and got out of the car. He picked Shaun up and carried him into the house. He set the boy down on the couch and went back outside to hide the car in the shed behind the cabin. When he came back in Shaun was still unconscious on the couch. He picked the boy up and took him into the bedroom and locked the door behind him as he went back out to the living room. He sat down and took a deep breath. "Okay, now the hard part is done. John McBain is going suffer as much if not more than I have." He said kicking his shoes off.

He went into the bathroom and searched for some bandages and antiseptic to clean Shaun's cut. He slowly walked back into the room where Shaun was lying on the bed. He moved towards the boy and sat on the bed. He cleaned Shaun's wound and bandaged it. He left Shaun alone in the room and made his way into the kitchen. He grabbed a beer, opened his cell phone and dialed the number. "Yeah, everything went as planned. No, no one saw me. Yeah he is out now. Yeah I'll see you tomorrow. Around ten? Okay. Bye." He hung up the phone and sat outside the bedroom and fell asleep.
John went through all of his cases that were on his computer and came up empty. Mike sat behind John trying his best to be there for his brother but, eventually he fell asleep on the couch. John turned when he heard Michael start to snore. He turned the computer off rubbed his eyes it was 3 am. Shaun had been missing officially for seven hours and it was the longest seven hours of his life. He covered Michael up with a blanket and made his way up stairs to his bed room.

He saw Evangeline still sleeping curled up in a ball in their bed. He slipped off his shoes, pants, and shirt and climbed into bed next to her. He rolled onto his side and snuggled up next to her. Her body relaxed into his. He closed his eyes wrapping an arm around her body and drifted off to sleep.

Several hours later, he was awaken by Evangeline, "Shaun!" she yelled and John's eyes shot open and he sprung up.

"Evangeline what's wrong?" he asked rubbing his eyes adjusting to the sun coming through the window.

"I, I had this awful dream that someone took Shaun. Man it was rough. How was work? I didn't even hear you come in last night."

"Evangeline?" John said looking over at his wife who was slowly getting out of the bed.

"Yeah hun?"

"It wasn't a dream." He said placing his hand on her shoulder turning her around to face him.

"What do you mean."

"Shaun…" His voice trailed off, hoping that she would remember on her own what had happened last night.

"What about him?" she asked looking back at John. She could tell something was wrong.

"Someone did take him; your dream wasn't a dream."

"John what are you saying?" she asked, but didn't let him answer her. She got out of the bed and ran down to Shaun's room and stopped at seeing the crime scene tape across Shaun's door. She dropped to her knees as she slowly started to remember the events of last night at least the ones she could remember. John came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and picked her up of floor.

"Come on." He said walking her back into their bedroom. He took her to the bed and she sat down and he kneeled in front of her. He cupped her face in his hands, "Everything is going to be okay. We will find him."

"Please John you have too. Please." She wrapped her arms around his neck and fell to the floor holding on to dear life with him in her arms.

"I will, I will." He held her tightly not wanting to let her go and she felt the same. He buried his head into her hair and she kissed the side of his neck repeating, "please, please." Over and over again in a whisper.
