One day at Dalton Academy

Sebastian: What are you doing?

Hunter: Nothing. I'm just thinking if everything I thought about is ready

Sebastian: What did you think?

Hunter: You know, I told you about this two days ago

Sebastian: Oh yeah, that's right. But, you told me you were missing something

Hunter: Yes, the path he takes to get home

Sebastian: And, did you find it?

Hunter: Yes

Sebastian: How?

Hunter: One day I found him on the road and decided to follow him. And also, I put my gps, so that the path is recorded and that I can print it after

Sebatsian: Practice

Hunter: And now I just have to take what we need and wait for the right time.

Sebastian: How long to wait?

Hunter: A few hours. I'll pick you up when we have to go

Sebastian: Ok

A few hours later on a road

Hunter: There, I see his car

Sebastian: There is a fire, I think it will stop there

Hunter: Yeah, this is the time

Sebastian: Who's behind?

Hunter: You. You put yourself in the seat behind his. Me, I go in the passenger seat

Sebastian: Okay

Hunter: Hi

Kurt: What are ... are you doing in my car?

Hunter: Something that will not please you

Kurt: And, why are you armed?

Hunter: You will follow everything I tell you, without saying a word

Kurt: What? I…

Hunter: Did you understand me correctly?

Kurt: Yeah, I'm not deaf

Hunter: Oh yeah, I forgot to say I can't stand sarcasm

Kurt: Too bad for you, this is something that I love

Hunter: Buckle up!

Kurt: What do you want from me?

Hunter: You'll find out soon enough

Kurt: Where are we going?

Hunter: Just shut up and ride

Kurt: If you tell me where we are going, that will make me feel better. Maybe I even know the way

Hunter: I told you to shut up!

Kurt: Excuse me for making the conversation

Hunter: Take a left

Kurt: "turn right" I'm sorry, but this is not the way I take home

Hunter: I told you to take a left! So you'll give me the pleasure of turning around and going where I tell you to go!

Kurt: I ...

Hunter: Now!

Kurt: Back up the cannon, you're bothering me

Hunter: Do as I tell you, and maybe I'll think about it

Kurt: But ...

Hunter: And don't start arguing

Sebastian: There is something that I find weird

Hunter: What?

Sebastian: It was supposed to be still in class at this hour. So why is he going home now?

Hunter: I have no idea

Kurt: It's noon, and like every lunchtime, I go out to buy some food

Sebastian: Yeah, say like that, it makes sense

Kurt: You know that if he doesn't see me coming back he'll be worried

Hunter: Yeah, we know

Kurt: So expect to have the police behind you

Hunter: I think he cares too much for you to tell the police

Kurt: I think quite the opposite

Hunter: Finally, we'll see when we tell him we're holding you hostage.

Kurt: Other than freaking him out and trying to find me, I don't really see what else it will do to him

Hunter: This is what we'll see

Kurt: How far is it?

Hunter: Enough so that no one thinks of looking for us there

Kurt: Great…

At McKinley High

Finn: I feel like you are missing someone

Blaine: Yeah, I know

Finn: Where did he go?

Blaine: He went to get some food, as usual

Finn: What do you mean, as usual?

Blaine: Very often at noon he goes out to get some food

Finn: Alright

Blaine: But now I'm worried

Finn: Why?

Blaine: Because it's been a long time since he's been gone

Finn: Surely there are people

Blaine: Never where he goes

Finn: Because he always goes to the same place?

Blaine: Yeah. It's a small sandwich shop not far from here. He likes to go there because it's good, it's not far from here and there aren't many people

Finn: If it's okay, why aren't there many people?

Blaine: I dunno, I didn't ask

Finn: Maybe today there are more people

Blaine: I hope that's it. Because, if it's something else ...

Finn: You stress quickly

Blaine: Because I don't know what can happen to him

Finn: Why?

Blaine: I think you know, but the regional ones are in two weeks

Finn: Yeah, I know someone who tells me that, at least once every five minutes. So I'm not ready to forget

Blaine: Yeah, and you know who we're up against too?

Finn: Yeah, and I know who runs them too

Blaine: And, these guys, I know them. I know cheating is something they know how to do

Finn: Cheating okay, but what does that have to do with the fact that you don't know what can happen to him?

Blaine: I dunno. I'm just worried. I think they can go a long way if it gives them victory and their place in the nationals

Finn: How far do you think they can go?

Blaine: Possibly until the kidnapping, but I really hope not

Finn: With them, we are sure of nothing

Blaine: Look, if in five minutes he still hasn't heard from me, I'll call him

Finn: Alright

On the road

Kurt: I'm getting sick of taxiing for you. I hope, at least, that you will pay me for this

Hunter: Of course, we'll pay you

Kurt: Right, make fun of me. And, excuse me, but I ...

Hunter: Don't even dare to answer!

Kurt: If I don't answer he'll be worried

Hunter: Don't worry, he'll hear from you soon

Kurt: I prefer to assure him that I'm fine

Hunter: "push the cannon against its side" I told you not to answer!

Kurt: Okay, okay ...

Hunter: There we are. Park there

Kurt: Where are we? Looks like a complex of old abandoned factories

Hunter: Yeah, that's it. This is one of the only places where no one would think of looking

Kurt: Handy for hiding

Hunter: And hide prisoners

Kurt: If you say so

Hunter: Come on, get out and keep your hands on the hood

Kurt: Why?

Hunter: Ask no questions

Kurt: I have the right to ask anyway

Hunter: Don't you understand when I tell you to shut up?

Sebastian: I have the scotch if you want

Hunter: Great, thank you

Sebastian: Shall I search him?

Hunter: Yeah, go ahead. And do it well. I don't want him to break loose because he hid something in his sleeves and we haven't seen him

Sebastian: Okay

Kurt: Keep your hands at home

Sebastian: Stop moving

Kurt: Hey, I told you to keep your hands at home

Sebastian: I have his wallet, and I think that's it

Hunter: Okay. Is that all you got on you?

Kurt: Yes my phone you already have

Hunter: Are you sure?

Kurt: Yeah

Hunter: It's because you have a short sleeve shirt that I think you aren't hiding anything else on you

Kurt: Great, you decide to trust me

Hunter: I don't trust you, I'm just a little logical

Kurt: Okay ...

Hunter: Pass me the scotch, I'll tie it up

Kurt: I ...

Hunter: Leave your hands where they are

Kurt: Back up

Sebastian: Where did he find this?

Hunter: On the ground. I should have known he was going to try this

Kurt: I can hurt you with this

Hunter: Sure, and so are we. Do you know that ?

Kurt: Look, I don't know what you want with me, but let me go

Hunter: Don't you know what we want from you?

Kurt: No

Hunter: Still, I thought you made sense

Kurt: What?

Hunter: The regional ones are in two weeks, and you know very well that we are facing you this year.

Kurt: Yeah, I know

Hunter: And, I want to have our place at the nationals. And, this is the only solution I found for that

Kurt: Kidnap me to make sure you get a national spot? I don't really see the connection

Hunter: The connection is, they are at a disadvantage without you. Without you, there are only 11

Kurt: Seriously, just for that

Hunter: Basically, I just wanted to keep you prisoner for the duration of the contest, and release you at the end. I didn't want to release you right before, because they could have participated

Kurt: Okay ...

Hunter: But, I thought of something else

Kurt: What?

Hunter: Why not have them quit and earn some money too, by the way?

Kurt: You are completely nuts!

Hunter: And, I'll explain something to you

Kurt: What?

Hunter: I think you want everything to be okay. Am I wrong ?

Kurt: No

Hunter: So, I advise you to do whatever you are told

Kurt: Otherwise what? What am I risking ?

Hunter: Get hurt

Kurt: Take a hit or two, that's okay

Hunter: See the iron bar you're holding in your hand?

Kurt: Yeah, so what?

Hunter: I know how to disarm you so I can use it against you. And, I can break your bones with it

Kurt: Happy for you

Hunter: Which means you better calm down, and quickly. I don't want to hurt you, but if I had to, I would definitely do it

Kurt: I ...

Hunter: So put that down

Kurt: And if it was me who broke your bones

Sebastian: We told you to put this down

Kurt: But, what ... my hand ...

Sebastian: At least it'll calm you down

Kurt: I bet you broke my hand

Sebastian: Possible, and I don't care about that

Hunter: Okay, now that you've let go, are you gonna listen to me? Or do we need to give you one for that?

Kurt: I bet I'm stronger than you

Hunter: "the plate against the wall" Now that's enough! You calm down and everything will be fine. Or, I hurt you until you are calm. Did I make myself understood ?!

Kurt: Yeah ...

Hunter: Great. Now put your hands back on the hood and don't move

Kurt: Why?

Hunter: And above all, don't ask questions!

Kurt: Hey, easy

Hunter: So stop moving

Kurt: My hand hurts and the way you hold my hands it hurts

Hunter: Luckily I have enough to gag you. Because I can't stand hearing you long

Kurt: You're not sociable

Hunter: I'm very social, but I can't stand prisoners resisting me

Kurt: This is your first time doing this

Hunter: Yeah, I know

Kurt: So ...

Hunter: So I feel that with that, you're finally gonna buckle up

Kurt: What the ... back off with that

Hunter: There you go, a good thing done

Sebastian: Shall I tie him to a chair?

Hunter: Better, yeah. Even though he has his hands tied behind his back, he still struggles a lot

Sebastian: Do you think he's scared? Because, given his behavior, I don't think he's scared

Hunter: I think he is, but he's using aggression, or what he thinks is aggression, to hide his fear.

Sebastian: Why is he hiding that he's scared?

Hunter: I don't really know. I would say it's to keep people from thinking he's weak. Or to try to scare us

Sebastian: Why not

Hunter: But, I know, deep inside he's scared. And even very scared

Sebastian: And, he still has strength

Hunter: Yeah, but us more than him

Sebastian: Yeah, that's right

At McKinley High

Finn: So, did you try to call him?

Blaine: Yeah…

Finn: And, what did he say?

Blaine: He didn't answer

Finn: Maybe his phone is flat.

Blaine: Impossible

Finn: Maybe he was driving

Blaine: Normally he would be stopped to answer

Finn: He didn't hear it

Blaine: He's still on vibrate. So if he didn't hear it he would feel it vibrate

Finn: So I don't know

Blaine: If that's what I think I would find these guys and settle their score

Finn: Calm down. It might not be what you think

Blaine: He's not answering, and he's been gone for almost an hour now

Finn: Yeah, I know

Blaine: So I don't know what else it could be

Finn: What do you want to do?

Blaine: I dunno. I think I wanna wait a little longer, but I don't think I can wait long

Finn: Another hour, are you okay?

Blaine: Yeah, another hour I think I can do it

Finn: You stress quickly, you

Blaine: Yeah, I know. And, with them in the wild, I stress even faster than usual

Finn: Alright

Blaine: I don't know if you know, but they threatened us

Finn: Did they threaten you? Are you serious ?

Blaine: Yeah, I'm serious

Finn: What did they threaten you with? And why ?

Blaine: They said they found a way to stop us from participating in the regional

Finn: Yeah, keep going

Blaine: Then they told us that if we kept our participation there would be repercussions

Finn: And, why about you?

Blaine: I dunno. But, it was more to him that they said that

Finn: Were they serious?

Blaine: Anyway, they looked like it. But, if they really were, I want to believe it, because it's been over an hour since I heard from him

Finn: What do you think this is the way they found?

Blaine: Probably the kidnapping. Anyway, I see that

Finn: Do you know where they can hide?

Blaine: Not at their school. There are too many people and there is at least one person a day in every room of the school. And, I know what I'm talking about, since I was there

Finn: So they can't hide there

Blaine: Unless they want to get stuck, no they can't

Finn: Great, so they can be anywhere in town

Blaine: Exactly

Finn: If you think that's it, you have to go to the police

Blaine: Like you said, that's what I think, so I don't have any evidence. So if I don't have any proof, how do you get the police to believe me?

Finn: Said like that ...

Blaine: I don't know what to do, what to do ...

Finn: Right now, all we can do is wait.

Blaine: Yeah. In an hour I'll call him back

Finn: Good idea

Somewhere in town

Sebastian: I find him too calm

Hunter: Better that than he struggles

Sebastian: Yeah, that's it

Hunter: Okay now I have to open his phone

Sebastian: I bet there is a code

Hunter: Yeah, and I don't know him. However, I know someone who will be happy to give it to me

Sebastian: I'm not sure he'll give it to us.

Hunter: Don't worry about it. I have ways to make him talk

Sebastian: However, there is one thing that worries me a bit

Hunter: What?

Sebastian: He was moving his arms, and I don't know why. This is what worries me a little

Hunter: Well, you probably broke his hand and I tied him with his hands behind his back. So he's just trying to pull away because he's in pain. Or he tries to loosen his ties

Sebatsian: Yeah, that makes sense, said like that. And I…

Hunter: What?

Sebastian: I ...

Hunter: What is it?

Sebastian: I think we have a problem

Hunter: What?

Sebastian: Look

Hunter: What the ...

Sebastian: We're the ones with his car keys, there's no way he took it to get out

Hunter: On the other hand, his phone, he managed to recover it

Sebastian: Do you think he can go far

Hunter: It's a bit of a lost place here, right next to an industrial area, right next to a highway too. So unless he decided to hitchhike, I think he's still here

Sebastian: But, he can tell someone

Hunter: Yeah. But, I don't think he knows the place we're hiding

Sebastian: But, he can give the address. He was the driver, so he knows where it is. Or, describe the way to get there

Hunter: That's why we have to find him. To maximize our chances of finding him, we should go our separate ways

Sebastian: Yeah, I think so too

Hunter: If one of us finds him, he warns the other, okay?

Sebastian: Okay

Hunter: No need to separate, I just saw where he went

Sebastian: He's stuck, and I think he knows it

Hunter: Yeah, sure

Sebastian: And, I think he even fell. Maybe he broke his leg

Hunter: Anyway, I don't have the feeling that it stops him from running. But, when he feels the pain, he will surely move more

Sebastian: Definitely

Further

Kurt: Pick up, Blaine, please pick up ...

Blaine: Yeah

Kurt: Please, I need some help!

Blaine: Well, I already tried to call you but you didn't answer me. I worried

Kurt: You are right to worry

Blaine: What happened? Where are you ?

Kurt: I think I'm in an old abandoned factory complex, I don't really know where it is

Blaine: Is that them? I'm sure it's them

Kurt: Yeah, they followed through on their threats

Blaine: What did they do?

Kurt: I was at a red light when I went to get food at noon

Blaine: Yeah, keep going

Kurt: And, suddenly, they walked in. One behind me and the other next to me

Blaine: I bet they were armed

Kurt: Yeah, they were, and still are. Then they forced me to drive here

Blaine: Go on

Kurt: They forced me out of the car and searched me. But, I picked up an iron bar that was on the floor

Blaine: Did you hit them with it?

Kurt: I tried, but Sebastian pulled it out of my hands and hit me with it. I think he broke my hand

Blaine: Then what did you do?

Kurt: They managed to overpower me, I couldn't defend myself. They tied me up, gagged and tied me to a chair

Blaine: How did you come off?

Kurt: It was a little tight, but I managed to loosen it. And, with a little patience, I managed to detach myself

Blaine: Go on

Kurt: Then I got my phone back, but I didn't have time to get my car keys

Blaine: Have you been hiding?

Kurt: Yeah, but it's really big and there's the highway next to it. Without a car, I can't leave. And, I don't think I could hide for long

Blaine: I think I know where you are. Hang on, I'm doing as soon as possible to come and get you

Kurt: But, it's not that big. Okay, okay, I have plenty of places to hide. But, I can't move without being spotted. And, I fell, at one point and I think I broke my leg

Blaine: Can you walk?

Kurt: I dunno ... when I fell I wasn't in that much pain, but now ...

Blaine: Can't you move?

Kurt: I don't think so ...

Blaine: Okay, I'm going to leave now. I think in an hour I'm here. In the meantime, hide

Kurt: Don't come alone. There are two of them, so if you come alone you have no chance

Blaine: I'm not alone, don't worry. They won't get away with it, not until I have had my say in this story

Kurt: They know how to fight and are surely dangerous

Blaine: Me too I'm dangerous and I'll show them

Sebastian: There he is. I see him

Hunter: And he's on the phone

Sebastian: That's not good

Hunter: Do you have your gun with you?

Sebastian: Yeah, why?

Hunter: You are going to point your gun at him, to keep him at bay and make sure he doesn't try anything

Sebastian: He's injured, so I don't think he's gonna try to run

Hunter: Yeah, but I still prefer to be sure

Sebastian: Okay

Hunter: You give me your phone. I know who you are on the phone with and I'll be happy to talk to him too

Kurt: I ...

Hunter: As I am a polite person, I say hello

Blaine: You!

Hunter: I can hear you're angry

Blaine: Are you surprised ?!

Hunter: So, I advise you to calm down, because it will annoy me that

Blaine: So release him! If you don't want me to come and beat you up!

Hunter: I remind you that you are not in a strong position. So you better listen to what I have to say

Blaine: I don't want to hear anything from you!

Hunter: I can see he's already hurt, so by me, I admit. And, I don't think you want him to be more than that. So if you don't listen to me I think he's gonna hurt even more than that

Blaine: What? But I'm going to hide you!

Hunter: Listen to me! You know very well what he risks. So instead of yelling at me and pissing me off, you better listen to me

Blaine: You don't scare me!

Hunter: Good, you wanted to

Kurt: What the… back off… stop! No, you're hurting me!

Blaine: What are you doing to him !?

Hunter: Okay, do you believe me now?

Blaine: Okay, okay. Come on tell me what you got to say to me

Hunter: If you want him to be released, you have to give up the regions. I think that's pretty easy to figure out, right?

Blaine: Easy to understand, yeah, though, it's not easy to do

Hunter: All I'm asking you to do is do this. Making this decision, it only takes a second

Blaine: Hit your ass too, it only takes a second

Hunter: I'm still nice, I'll give you 3 hours to think about it. On the other hand, I can't promise you that nothing will happen to her during this time

Blaine: Why !?

Hunter: Well, it's up to him. If he's keeping still, I think he should be fine. However, if he decides to be resilient, I would have to hurt him to calm him down. I think you know it just as well as I do

Blaine: Just to win the regionals, you kidnapped him. But, you are completely nuts!

Hunter: We've lost too many times to you. So, I decided to secure our place at the nationals, by whatever means

Blaine: Is that why you threatened us? Especially him

Hunter: They weren't really threats. I would call it more of a warning

Blaine: Are you serious?

Hunter: Besides, it wasn't mean. I'm sure it doesn't matter to you

Blaine: For several days, he slept badly, because of what you told him. He was having nightmares about what you could do to him!

Hunter: Okay, I admit the threat move wasn't the best thing to do

Blaine: And doing what you've been doing now, do you think that's better ?!

Hunter: To win? Yeah, much better even. Because, I don't know if you know, but without him you were at a disadvantage. Well yes, you are missing a member

Blaine: Looks like that makes you laugh!

Hunter: Yeah, a little

Blaine: You…

Hunter: Basically, I wanted to release him after the contest, so I was sure you weren't in it.

Blaine: You changed your mind, why?

Hunter: I wanted to have a little fun. Besides, I forgot a little point about my request

Blaine: Of course ...

Hunter: You'll get me $ 1000 as well, since I know you have that amount, or know how to get it. When I get back to you, in 3 hours, I will tell you where you need to go

Blaine: Yeah, that's it

Hunter: Well, I'll tell you in 3 hours. Take this time to think it over

Blaine: If you want. But let me talk to him

Hunter: Why would I do that?

Blaine: Because I'm the only one who knows how to calm him down. You want him to be calm, I don't want him to be hurt. So let me talk to him

Hunter: Okay, but we'll stick around to hear what he says. From his answers, we will know what you will say to him

Blaine: If you want

Hunter: Good, I'll pass it to you

Blaine: Hey, are you okay?

Kurt: I've known better. When he was on the phone with you, I had a gun pointed at me ...

Blaine: Don't worry, everything is fine. What did he do to you? I heard you scream and I wish I knew what he did to you

Kurt: He punched me and pressed on my leg, exactly where it hurts. And now it hurts even more

Blaine: By the time I get there, you have to stay as calm as possible, okay?

Kurt: But, I ... I ...

Blaine: I know, honey, I know. But everything is fine. Just don't piss them off

Kurt: I feel like they're pissed off all the time

Blaine: That's right, but if you're not calm they'll hurt you. So I will hurry to come, but you have to stay calm

Kurt: Alright, I'll try

Blaine: I'll do it as soon as possible

Kurt: Okay ...

Hunter: Good, discussion over

Kurt: I ...

Hunter: I don't know what he said to you, but I want to know

Kurt: But ...

Hunter: Tell me!

Kurt: He just told me to stay calm, until this story was over

Hunter: Good advice from him, and you better listen

Kurt: But, I ...

Sebastian: I think we better blindfold him

Kurt: Why?

Hunter: Yeah, good idea

Kurt: But, I know where I am. I remind you that it was you who forced me to drive this far. I know the way back

Hunter: Yeah, I know

Kurt: But, there's nothing I can do. I am injured, so you can let me move freely, please ...

Hunter: Just because you can't do anything, doesn't mean we're going to let you go. I don't wanna take risks and I think you know that

Kurt: Please ... I'm in pain and ...

Hunter: Don't try to appeal to our pity, it doesn't work

Kurt: But, I ...

Hunter: "punch him" Okay, are you done now ?!

Kurt: Yeah ...

Hunter: Great. Now get up, we'll take you back to the hideout

Kurt: I can't get up

Hunter: This is new. Why ?

Kurt: I think I broke my leg, I can't walk ...

Hunter: You can only blame yourself. It was you who tried to escape, and it was you who fell

Kurt: But, it was you who put pressure on my leg. And because of that it hurts even more than before

Hunter: Well, it was for him to listen to me. He didn't think I was serious so I decided to show him that I am really serious

Kurt: He knows very well that you are serious. He was just mad at you for doing this

Hunter: Yeah, but I needed him to listen to me. So I thought if he heard you scream he would listen to me

Kurt: You are nuts!

Hunter: Now if you can't walk, how are we going to get you back?

Kurt: I dunno… leave me here, maybe?

Hunter: No

Sebastian: Maybe I can carry him?

Hunter: Yeah, go ahead. I don't think he's that heavy

Sebastian: It's just that he's tall

Hunter: On your shoulder. And, if he tries to hurt you, you know what to do

Sebastian: Yeah

Kurt: Or so, I'm using you as a crutch

Hunter: You mean?

Kurt: I rely on you to walk. That way you can be sure that I am not trying anything, and that I am not trying to hurt you

Hunter: Said like that ...

Sebastian: So what am I doing?

Hunter: Yeah, doing as he says is better

Sebastian: Come on, get up

Kurt: Help me at least

Hunter: Yeah, okay

At McKinley High

Finn: Hey, where are you going? And why do you look so pissed off?

Blaine: Because I know where he is, what happened to him and who did this to him

Finn: What? What happened to him?

Blaine: Do you remember what I told you? In relation to threats

Finn: Do you really think they took it?

Blaine: Not only do I believe it, but I also have the proof

Finn: Why?

Blaine: Kurt called me. He managed to escape and hide, but he is injured. He just had time to get his phone back and let me know

Finn: Did he tell you where he is?

Blaine: Yeah, in an old abandoned factory complex. And, the only one I know of is north of town, about 30 minutes from here

Finn: He just told you he's hurt and where is he? Did he tell you anything else?

Blaine: He didn't get the chance

Finn: Why?

Blaine: Because Hunter snatched the phone from him, and started talking to me?

Finn: What did he want?

Blaine: He said that in order for him to be released we have to give up on the regionals and he'll give me 3 hours to think about it. He also told me that he doesn't promise me that he won't be hurt during the three hours I have to think

Finn: Okay ...

Blaine: And, to prove he's serious, he hurt her. Bad enough to make him scream. I swear when I heard him scream all I wanted to do was wring his neck

Finn: Okay, you are really pissed off there

Blaine: Yeah, I'm angry you mean

Finn: Yeah, that's it. And, what do you want to do?

Blaine: I know where he is. So, I won't wait three hours to get him out

Finn: Don't you want to talk about it with the others?

Blaine: I've already made up my mind. There is no way I can leave there a minute longer

Finn: Yeah, I agree with you

Blaine: And then, I don't think other people take that. And more particularly…

Finn: Yeah, I know

Blaine: So go get ready

Finn: Why?

Blaine: Although I know and believe in my fighting skills, I don't think I can handle two people fighting against me. So I need a big, imposing guy who will help me beat them

Finn: Okay. I'm ready

Blaine: Okay alright so let's go

Finn: And, what do you think when you're there?

Blaine: Get him out of there and bring him home

Finn: I bet that's not how you thought you started the weekend

Blaine: No, you're right

Finn: Yeah, please don't kill them

Blaine: Kill them, I can't. On the other hand, to beat them up, that I am really capable of

Finn: Yeah, please hold back your punches

Blaine: I'll try to do my best

Finn: Alright

In a complex of abandoned factories

Hunter: Okay, now that this problem is fixed, we'll just have to wait

Sebastian: Three hours is a long time anyway

Hunter: Yeah, but I think it's good enough to think

Sebastian: Okay ... and ...

Hunter: What? Don't tell me he's left again? Because he's tied up, gagged and besides, he's blindfolded

Sebastian: No, that's not it. I think it's something more important than that

Hunter: The police here? It's impossible. This place has been abandoned for years. Nobody ever comes there and I discovered it a few months ago

Sebastian: Really?

Hunter: Yeah, that's why it looks so organized. It's because I've been there several times, just to tidy up the place and it's done to hide a prisoner for a few hours or even days

Sebastian: Okay

Hunter: So there's no way the police are here

Sebastian: It's not the police

Hunter: What is it then?

Sebastian: Two guys, one of whom looks really angry

Hunter: What? What are they doing here?

Sebastian: I don't know

Hunter: And that's it, the other one is restless now

Sebastian: I think he recognized his voice

Hunter: I'll fix the problem

Sebastian: Okay

Hunter: I thought I was clear!

Blaine: Clear on what ?!

Hunter: I was the one to get back to you, it was not for you to come here

Blaine: I still do what I want

Hunter: Okay, now that you're here, tell me the decision you made

Blaine: Beat your ass!

Hunter: Bad decision

Blaine: What are you doing to him ?!

Hunter: What? We don't do anything to him

Blaine: I hear him scream. Finally, try to scream, because I think he's got something in his mouth

Hunter: Just a precaution. Although there is no one walking by here, I don't want to hear him screaming for help every five minutes

Blaine: You better release him and quickly. Because, I feel that you will feel it pass

Hunter: Of course. And, I see you brought your bodyguard with you

Blaine: Yeah

Hunter: You know, you don't scare me

Blaine: "punches him" And there, I'm still not scaring you ?!

Hunter: You hit hard, you. I never knew you had such strength

Blaine: I do

Finn: What am I doing?

Blaine: Watch them, I'm gonna get him out

Finn: Alright

Blaine: Hey, wait, I'm gonna take this away from you

Kurt: Where are they?

Blaine: Finn's taking care of them, don't worry about it. They won't hurt you anymore

Kurt: Okay ...

Blaine: Are you okay?

Kurt: "try to get up" Yeah, I think ...

Blaine: Wow, wait a minute. Sit still, I'll watch your injuries

Kurt: Okay ...

Blaine: You're completely frozen, what have they done to you?

Kurt: It's cold, that's why. Well, here it's cold, and the ground is cold and they had the good idea to water me with a garden hose they found

Blaine: Yeah, I see you're so drenched too. Maybe that's why you're cold too

Kurt: Yeah, I think so too

Blaine: But, why did they do this?

Kurt: I know you told me to stay calm, but ...

Blaine: You couldn't, was it?

Kurt: Yeah. At one point, I panicked, and tried to run again. And then they found this and they sprayed me with it

Blaine: I think I should have hit him harder

Kurt: He's strong too. You see, he hits hard enough to leave traces on me

Blaine: Yeah, I see

Kurt: And because of that, I couldn't eat

Blaine: Don't worry. When we get home, I'll cook for you

Kurt: Okay ...

Blaine: But first I'm taking you to the hospital. I see you got a lot of hits, and you probably have a broken leg

Kurt: And the right hand too, I think

Blaine: Yeah, I think so too. Do you know how to get up?

Kurt: I think so ...

Blaine: Yeah, wait a sec

Kurt: What is it?

Blaine: You better not try too hard

Kurt: Okay ...

Blaine: Put your arms around my neck, I'll carry you

Kurt: Are we going straight to the hospital?

Blaine: Yeah, you need some care

Kurt: You know very well that I don't have a good history with hospitals. I don't want to stay there several days

Blaine: Don't worry, I don't think you'll have to stay there for several days

Kurt: But, what if I have to?

Blaine: I would ask if you have to, but I don't think so. And then, if they say yes, I would ask if I can't take care of you, which I should do ...

Kurt: Do you think they'll accept?

Blaine: I'll try to be as convincing as possible

Kurt: Okay ...

Finn: What do I do with it?

Blaine: Get them back where they came from and make sure they stay there as long as possible

Finn: How about the police?

Blaine: Because we have no evidence of what happened, and then we acted alone, so ...

Finn: Question proof, I think we have had enough

Blaine: Yeah, I know. But, I don't believe the police will consider them as such

Finn: Okay, I'll bring them back then

Blaine: Yeah, and make sure they stay there

Finn: And, if they threaten you again, tell me. I would take care of them

Blaine: Yeah, no problem

Finn: Was that me, or did you knock him out?

Blaine: Yeah, it's me. Why ?

Finn: I dunno, why did you do that?

Blaine: I wasn't going to let him hit him and do nothing

Finn: Okay. But, from there to knocking him out with an iron bar that you found on the floor, don't you think that's a bit too much?

Blaine: I admit I overreacted a bit too much. But that's all I could do

Finn: Okay. And, I think we're gonna be in trouble

Blaine: What? Why ? Who swayed us?

Finn: Trouble from a girl angry about being late. Worse, because we didn't come to the rehearsal she had planned this afternoon

Blaine: Ok, I get it. Will you give me a minute, please?

Finn: Yeah

Blaine: I'll see what she says, and then I'll take you to the hospital

Kurt: I also want to know what she said. And, if she wants to talk to you, tell her that I will come too

Blaine: But, are you sure that will be okay?

Kurt: Okay, I admit it, it hurts, but it's still bearable

Blaine: You're busy shaking, you barely dare to look me in the eye, you barely dare to approach Finn. Also, you are completely soaked

Kurt: Yeah ... I don't know why, but all the fear I was holding is taken out

Blaine: So, are you sure going to talk to him is a good idea?

Kurt: I guess the topic will revolve around me, why I wasn't here. And, I wanna know what she's gonna say

Blaine: Okay, if you want. But, if it's not okay, tell me right now and we'll be back, okay?

Kurt: Yeah, okay

Blaine: So what is she saying?

Finn: She asks me where am I. Why I am, we are, left so quickly. Why hasn't Kurt been here since midday? What did we go do?

Blaine: Yeah, is that all?

Finn: No, she wants to talk to us too

Blaine: I suspected that

Finn: What am I telling him?

Kurt: Let's talk to him. And if she has something to say about me, she'll tell it to my face

Finn: Alright

Blaine: And take our time to come too. It's not such a smooth road to get here, and I don't want to make his injuries worse by driving fast

Finn: Alright, I'll tell him

At McKinley High

Rachel: Finally, I was thinking where you have all been

Finn: Hey, calm down

Rachel: I think I told you this morning that I had a rehearsal planned for this afternoon.

Finn: Yeah, I know. And, you spent most of the morning reminding us

Rachel: So why weren't you here? Because of that I had to cancel it and postpone it for tomorrow

Blaine: Aren't you busy saying it's our fault, I hope?

Rachel: I warned you, I even reminded you, and you, aren't you coming?

Blaine: We were busy with something else. Something much more important than that

Rachel: You were setting up a private number, right?

Kurt: We're gonna say it's kinda my fault. Although I didn't want what happened to me

Rachel: Why is he carrying you? Can't you walk anymore?

Kurt: I probably have a broken leg ...

Rachel: What happened to you?

Kurt: I got kidnapped and taken rather far from town

Rachel: By who?

Kurt: Who do you think has been threatening us for several weeks?

Rachel: Them? They are not serious. All they wanted was to try to scare us, nothing more

Blaine: Yeah, they were more than serious

Rachel: Why did they do that? Especially two weeks away from the regional ones. They had to repeat, not scare the competitors

Blaine: They didn't mean to scare us

Rachel: What else did they want to do then? It's crazy, instead of rehearsing for something important they kidnap people

Kurt: They wanted to put us at a disadvantage

Rachel: By doing that?

Kurt: At first, they were just going to keep me prisoner for the time of the competition, and release me at the end. By doing this, they were hoping that you would forfeit, since there was one missing

Rachel: Okay, let's admit. But, why did they do it so early. The regional ones are only in two weeks

Kurt: They decided to do it differently

Rachel: What? How do you do it?

Kurt: They wanted you to ditch the regionals, so that I was released

Rachel: Well, they were very optimistic

Blaine: Watch what you say!

Rachel: But, there is something that I don't understand

Kurt: What?

Rachel: Why are you hurt?

Kurt: Would you know your composure and composure when you're tied up, a scarf in your mouth, and blindfolded? While having a gun pointed at you

Rachel: Well, I don't think so. And then, it also depends on the people. But, I have to admit, it's not the best, and it sounds pretty scary

Kurt: And, I tried to escape once… and, I… they found me and hurt me. They also hurt me when we arrived ...

Rachel: Why did they hurt you?

Kurt: Because I escaped… they did not appreciate that I was defending myself or that I escaped

Rachel: Well they're more violent than I thought

Kurt: Yeah ...

Blaine: Are you okay? You tremble and hesitate on your words

Kurt: I think, all the fear that I kept, is busy getting out

Blaine: Alright, I think it's time to go

Kurt: No, it's okay, I'm holding on

Blaine: Okay. But, if it's really wrong you tell me straight

Kurt: Yeah ... now, if they asked you that, what would you say?

Rachel: I would have tried to make them listen to reason. I would have made them understand that abandoning the regional is not a good idea

Kurt: I ...

Blaine: So if I summarize what you just said, you would have said no, is that it?

Rachel: I wouldn't have said it directly. But, I wouldn't have heeded what they said

Blaine: What ?!

Rachel: Think about it. Would it have made you proud if we had stood up to them and on top of that, we won the regional ones?

Kurt: Well, I ...

Rachel: Seriously, they're not serious

Kurt: But, you see ...

Blaine: Alright, let's end there

Rachel: But ...

Blaine: We'll talk about that later

Rachel: Why? What did I say again?

Blaine: Don't worry, I'll explain it to you in a little while

Rachel: Why do I feel like everyone is mad at me all the time

Blaine: You stay there, I'm coming back to make it clear to you

Rachel: Okay ...

In the parking lot

Kurt: Are we already going to the hospital?

Blaine: Do you want to go already? Because, I can always wait until tomorrow or Monday to talk to her

Kurt: No, go ahead, I can wait

Blaine: Are you sure? Because, me, I think the opposite

Kurt: To be honest, I'm scared and would feel better than when I was home. But, I think it's okay

Blaine: Yeah, I noticed you're scared. And, I know why and I feel like I'll be happy to explain to her what she did

Kurt: Okay ...

Blaine: Can you stay with him, please? I have some small scores to settle and I don't want to leave him alone

Finn: Yeah, no problem. And, what should I do if ... you know ... if he has a panic attack?

Blaine: If so, you call me directly, and reassure him as best you can. If he does, you have to be as calm as possible, don't get upset, don't panic, and of course don't yell

Finn: Okay, okay. I believe it is doable

Blaine: Ok, I think I'll have more than ten minutes

Finn: Yeah, but hold your punches

Blaine: Yeah, I know

Finn: And, should I distract him or something?

Blaine: Yeah, I think it's better. But, please, avoid talking about what happened to him today. I don't think he feels ready for this

Finn: Yeah, and then I think it's more for you to do

Blaine: I think so too

Further

Blaine: You, we're gonna have to talk!

Rachel: You're angry, I see it. And, I want to know why

Blaine: In your opinion ?!

Rachel: What? I did something again, is that it?

Blaine: Yeah!

Rachel: Come on, tell me what I did, I'm listening

Blaine: When you spoke to him, didn't you notice?

Rachel: Well now that you say it he sounded a little tense but I think that's it

Blaine: A little tense? Are you serious !?

Rachel: What? Yes he was a little tense

Blaine: He was completely terrified you mean? And, you know what made that?

Rachel: No

Blaine: You! All your innuendos! The fact that you minimized everything that happened to him!

Rachel: I haven't minimized anything at all

Blaine: You told him they weren't serious, that all they wanted to do was just scare him

Rachel: Well, isn't that what they wanted to do?

Blaine: Are you kidding me !?

Rachel: No, why?

Blaine: You saw very well that they were really serious, you saw very well that he is hurt

Rachel: Yeah he told me he had a fight

Blaine: Against them!

Rachel: Yeah, he said that too

Blaine: So they were serious. To be honest I didn't think they would go this far, but they did

Rachel: Do what?

Blaine: They went right up to the kidnapping to keep us from participating in the regional!

Rachel: Why? This is cheating

Blaine: They don't care about cheating, all they want to do is win

Rachel: Well I want to win too, but I would never make it that far

Blaine: Crime is the best they can do

Rachel: Okay, but there is something wrong

Blaine: What ?!

Rachel: Why him? If they had been logical they would have come after me

Blaine: Again you bring it all back to you

Rachel: Well, I'm just logical

Blaine: Of course. Is that also why you told him you would have said no to what they offered ?!

Rachel: I asked him if that would have made him proud, that's all

Blaine: You haven't thought of him for a second. All you thought about was you and your little quarter of an hour of fame on stage

Rachel: And you, what would you have done? From what I know you ran headlong into the wolf's mouth

Blaine: At least if I had no other choice, I would have taken the time to think, weigh the pros and cons. I would have discussed it with you too, to find out what I should do

Rachel: Alright

Blaine: But, I know that with you, dialogue would have been impossible

Rachel: Why?

Blaine: Because you would have directly said no. And, don't say otherwise, I've known you long enough for that

Rachel: Okay ...

Blaine: Then second thing I wanted to talk to you about

Rachel: What?

Blaine: The fact that you didn't take into account what he had just been through when you spoke to him!

Rachel: What do you mean?

Blaine: You had an accusing tone in your voice, you spoke fast and loud, and of course you stepped forward when he backed up.

Rachel: I wasn't accusing him

Blaine: Of course ... you're the only one who didn't realize

Rachel: If you say so. But, I would like you to enlighten me on something

Blaine: What?

Rachel: Why was he shaking? Why didn't he dare look at me? Why was he hesitating or searching for his words? Yet when you arrived it was not like that

Blaine: Are you serious here?

Rachel: Yeah, I really wanna know why

Blaine: It's because of you! You scared him!

Rachel: Really?

Blaine: Yeah! You were talking fast and loud, and it reminded him of what he's been through. You could tell he was backing up, and you were moving forward when he was doing that. He felt cornered, oppressed, like he had no way of escaping

Rachel: Okay ...

Blaine: As for the fact that he wasn't looking at you, I think it was because he couldn't. I don't know exactly what happened, and I would ask her when we are home

Rachel: I think it's better for him

Blaine: Now I want you to know something very important

Rachel: Yeah, what?

Blaine: You know full well he's not fit to compete in the regional

Rachel: I saw he's hurt, but I don't know how bad

Blaine: Probably a broken leg, but that's not what I meant

Rachel: What is it then?

Blaine: He won't participate, you know that. Neither am I

Rachel: Why not you? You are not hurt, or you hide it well

Blaine: No, I'm not hurt

Rachel: So why aren't you joining in?

Blaine: Because I'm going to stay with him, to take care of him. I'm sure he's not fit to be left alone

Rachel: Yet you are here

Blaine: Finn stayed with him

Rachel: Alright

Blaine: So on Monday I'll come to explain what happened and why we won't be competing in the regional

Rachel: Without you, we'll be missing two members. It's as if they won

Blaine: I'm sure you'll find two more people

Rachel: Well we have two weeks left… so I think I would do my best for that

Blaine: Okay

Rachel: But, honestly, I don't think I could do it. You know our popularity

Blaine: Yeah, that's right

On the parking

Finn: Hi

Blaine: I'm ... back ... what happened?

Finn: Well… he had a panic attack

Blaine: Yeah, I can see that. But why ? What happened to make him do one?

Finn: We're in a parking lot, there are cars

Blaine: And, it still doesn't tell me why

Finn: Some soccer players went to the parking lot to pick up their cars, to go home. So far, are you following me?

Blaine: Yeah. Go ahead, keep going

Finn: And, they made noise, making noise to show the power of their engine to others, the sound of their horn.

Blaine: Yeah, I got it

Finn: So there you go

Blaine: And, besides hanging on to you like that, what else did he do?

Finn: When he heard the noise he started screaming, then he clung to me, shaking. Since then, he refuses to let go of me. I don't know what else to do

Blaine: I'll take over. Thanks for staying with him. I don't know how he would have reacted if he had been alone

Finn: Not very well, I think

Blaine: Yeah, I think so too

Finn: Okay, I'll go back with her. Do you want me to tell him something?

Blaine: No, thanks. I think she had her account. But, if she starts talking about what I told her, you can always give your point of view

Finn: But, little question

Blaine: Yeah, what?

Finn: Are you going to participate in the regional or not?

Blaine: No he's not in good shape, I think you know that

Finn: Yeah, that makes sense

Blaine: And I don't participate either. There is no way to leave him alone

Finn: Yeah, well I'm going. But for that he will have to let go of me

Blaine: Hey, everything is fine

Kurt: What the ... I ...

Blaine: I'm here so you can let go

Kurt: I… sorry, I wasn't in control of what I was doing

Blaine: Don't worry, I'm taking you to the hospital now, okay?

Kurt: Okay ...

A few hours later

Blaine: I think we better go to the bedroom

Kurt: Yeah ...

Blaine: Are you okay?

Kurt: I dunno… I think back to everything I've been through today… now I'm really starting to get scared…

Blaine: Don't worry honey, I'm here, you don't risk anything

Kurt: But, I know they couldn't be stopped, and since we know what they're capable of ... they'll probably try to start over.

Blaine: Well, it is possible. But, you know you're gonna have to stay home for a while

Kurt: Yeah, I know

Blaine: And, since they don't know any of our addresses, I don't think they'll try it again. But, after the regional ones, it will be necessary to be wary

Kurt: If we win, I don't think they'll try it again

Blaine: Well, I don't wanna worry, but I would be wary anyway

Kurt: What? What's the matter ?

Blaine: I dunno ... but I think they are able to come back on the charge

Kurt: Why?

Blaine: Sure they can take the fact that we won the regionals very badly, and surely can try to get revenge.

Kurt: Worse than what they've done before?

Blaine: Maybe. I don't know what they're really capable of, but I know they can go a long way. Seen how far they've gone today

Kurt: And… why me? What did I do to them?

Blaine: I have no idea

Kurt Me, I think I know a little, but I ...

Blaine: "Take him in his arms and hug him" You can tell me everything, okay?

Kurt: Yeah, I know

Blaine: So what did they tell you?

Kurt: I don't know if that's what they really meant, but anyway, that's how I understood it

Blaine: Come on, I'm listening

Kurt: They were talking to each other, and I heard them say that, if it was me that they kidnapped, it's because I can't defend myself that I'm likely to let it go ...

Blaine: Okay

Kurt: And, I tried, several times, to try to prove them wrong, but they were right ...

Blaine: No, they were wrong. You are much stronger than they said

Kurt: I know ...

Blaine: Come on, it's late. You need to sleep

Kurt: But, I ...

Blaine: What is it?

Kurt: They kept me in the dark for awhile, and, I ...

Blaine: Okay, I get it. I'll leave the light on

Kurt: No, I'll have to get used to sleeping with the lights off, so I might as well start today.

Blaine: Okay, if you want

Kurt: But, can I… can I ask you a question?

Blaine: Yeah sure

Kurt: But, it's just that I don't take too much ...

Blaine: You can ask me anything

Kurt: So I know I'm hurt and that might not be the right thing to do, but ... would you like us to sleep in boxers, please ...

Blaine: Yeah sure

Kurt: Thanks…

Blaine: Come on, now come on. You had a hard day and you need to sleep

Kurt: But, I dunno ... if I could get to sleep ...

Blaine: I'm here, the last thing you need to worry about

Kurt: But, you know how I work… the doctors said I was going to be prone to panic attacks and nightmares for several weeks or even months.

Blaine: Yeah, that's okay. You were held captive for several hours by two guys who didn't hesitate to hurt you. It's normal for you to have panic attacks or nightmares

Kurt: But, because of that, you won't know how to sleep ... I don't want you to sleep badly because of me

Blaine: My priority is to make you feel safe. Even if that means I have to sleep badly for several months if I have to, that's okay. As long as you feel safe I'm fine with me

Kurt: Ok
