The reporters are all outside waiting on an updated press conference. The police van pulls up slowly to the side entrance. Kendall gets out of the vehicle almost immediately hit with a camera in his face.
"Is that them? Have you arrested them?" Jaycee asks.
"Get out of my face, Jaycee." Kendall asks as politely as possible.
"Right sorry, officer." Jaycee says backing up about five feet the camera still pointing at the van. One by one the kidnappers are led into the police station. The whole station goes quiet once the kidnappers are inside.
"Zoe! Tell me you called the lawyer?" Joe says once he spots his sister.
"I'm not going to do anything for you. I don't know what you expected me to do but I am not going to defend you. I called Mom and Dad and they are heading here. They can deal with this mess." Zoe says sitting down. "I love you, Joe, you know that but you brought this on yourself."
"Zoella, please, I thought you'd understand." Joe says.
"Understand?! Understand what, Joe? You abusing the man I love? You coming up with this whole plan to hurt our friends? You letting that monster join you?" Zoe says pointing to Sam. "It's probably the last one that just shocks me the most."
"Shut up, bitch." Sam shouts. Joe looks back at him with anger in his eyes.
"Don't call her a bitch, Samuel! I told you about this before."
"I'm sorry, Joseph. Forgive me?" Sam asks pouting his lip out.
"Alright that's enough. Forest put the rest of them in the holding cell; I'm going to talk to Joe first." Kendall says, "Natasha, take whoever you want."
"Okay, Sarg will do." Natasha says. "Harley, follow me." She looks at Kendall who is giving her a 'Are you serious?' look. "You told me to take whoever." Harley just follows after Natasha. They walk into the interrogation room; Natasha uncuffs his hands noticing the rope burns on his wrists. "Have a seat. How'd you get those rope burns?" Harley sits down putting his hands on the table.
"I betrayed them so they tied me up and took me upstairs." Harley says, "I just didn't think they would take it that far. I only beat up Tucker because I thought it would teach him a lesson but after talking to Shay, I realized that it wasn't right, none of it was."
"So you called this Shay Carl and told him where you were because you knew he couldn't stay quiet."
"Yeah, how'd you know that?" Harley asks.
"Me and Sarg, we deal with kidnappings a lot."
"Oh. I just want to know if Troye is okay and the rest of them, Matt looked really bad and they kept beating him throughout the time he was there."
"Who are they?" Natasha asks.
"Ken, Cry, Ant and Felix." Harley says. Natasha nods.
"Would you be willing to testify against them for a lesser sentence?"
"Yes. If it makes them pay for they have done."
"Is there anything else I need to know?" Natasha asks. Harley looks up at her.
"Talk to Joey." Harley says simply.
"What does that mean?" Natasha asks.
"You'll have to talk to Joey Graceffa." Harley says. Natasha nods knocking on the door, an officer coming into the room.
"Take him to the holding cells and bring me Joey Graceffa." Natasha tells him.
"Yes, ma'am." The officer says putting the handcuffs back on Harley trying his hardest to avoid putting them directly on his rope burns. "I'll see if one of our officers can bandage you up, those hurt like a bitch. Christian Grey and yes that is actually my name."
"Oh, so tragic." Calls one of his fellow officers. Harley gives the officer a death stare shutting him up immediately.
"Joey, calm down, you are going to hurt yourself!" Jeana says.
"I have to get it off, have to get it off." He mumbles and continues to mumble.
"Joey, it's going to be okay. Stop." Rafi says.
"Why do you care?" Joey asks.
"You love Troye, I get it. You feel like you could have stopped him from being hurt, it isn't your fault. No matter what you think or what people say, it was not your fault." Rafi says.
"Step back, please." Officer Grey says. Rafi nods stepping away from the holding cells. "Which one of you is Joey Graceffa?"
"That one." Jeana says pointing to Joey.
"Forest, you got an extra shirt and pants lying around?"
"Yeah in my locker why?" Forest asks setting his magazine down on the chair next to him.
"You mind if you go get them?" Grey asks.
"I don't know if I should leave you alone with them." Forest says.
"It's fine, I'll be fine. Please and could you grab some wet towels too?"
"Yeah, you got it." Forest says walking out of the holding cell area. Grey goes over to the cell next to Sam's letting Harley into the cell.
"Hey, officer? Got to tell you something." Sam says.
"Leave it until you meet with Officer Kendall." Grey says.
"It's important. Might even include an old case of yours." Sam says. Grey stops in his tracks turning around.
"What did you say?" Grey asks going over to Sam's cell standing in front of it.
"Closer."
"Don't." Harley whispers to him.
"You want to know don't you?" Sam entices him. Grey steps closer to the cell, Sam able to grab onto Grey's collar pulling him so that Grey is right up against the cell.
"Let go of me." Grey says staring straight at Sam.
"If you let me go, I'll take you to them." Sam says. "Maybe once we get there I'll keep you too." Sam says gripping Grey by the neck squeezing. Grey tries to grab his baton, Sam sees this and grabs onto Grey's balls. Kendall walks into the room with Joe.
"SAM! Stop! Let him go!" Joe shouts as Kendall takes his baton out running over to Sam. Kendall strikes Sam's hands hard with the baton, Sam immediately letting go of Grey.
"Grey, you good?" Kendall asks. Grey coughs holding onto his throat his voice hoarse.
"Yeah." Grey says "He knows something, Sarg."
"Knows something about what?" Kendall asks. "Not this again, Grey. I told you to drop the case!" Forest walks into the room with the extra shirt and pants and wet washcloth. "You! You weren't supposed to leave! Where's your partner?"
"Don't know, she didn't say. What happened?" Forest asks.
"Grey here was attacked." Kendall says. "Hold out your hands, now." Kendall tells Sam. "Bring Joe over here, Grey." Grey nods going over to Joe who didn't even try to run, knowing it would be foolish and stupid to do so. Grey leads Joe to Kendall. "Go grab Joey, take him to Nat and then get checked out."
"I was going to have him change his clothes, so forensics can take them." Grey says.
"Good idea, take him to the locker room, you know the procedures better than anybody." Kendall says trying not to be too hard on the younger man. Grey nods to him going over to Joey's cell opening it.
"Follow me. I trust you not to run away."
"I'm not stupid. I'm not going to run." Joey says being led into the locker room. Grey leads Joey into a separate room in the locker room named evidence collection.
"Sit here until I get everything situated."
"Yeah…I got to ask. What was that all about with Sam?"
"I had an old kidnapping case still unsolved. It involved two YouTuber's, I was in charge of the whole case, had to watch all their videos. To say I got attached and obsessed with the case is the correct assessment my superiors concluded so they pulled me off the case."
"Who were the YouTuber's?" Joey asks.
"They are called Amp and Bolt on YouTube, their channel name is Watts the Safeword." Grey says his back turned to Joey so he can't see Joey's shocked face. "Okay go ahead and step on the paper, put all of your clothes into the brown bag. After that you can get dressed with the clothes I got you."
"Thank you." Joey says. He gets dressed in a hurry; he follows after Grey being led into an interrogation room.
"Hello, have a seat, Joey." Natasha says. "Would you like something to drink?"
"Water would be nice." Joey says. He looks around wondering how he got here. He wasn't a bad guy; he just let his emotions get the better of him. He jumps when the door closes, Natasha putting the water down in front of him.
"Sorry if I startled you." Natasha says. "So, can you tell me what happened to make you want to do this?"
"I was jealous. I'm a very jealous person and I really loved Shane, so seeing him with Tyler and finding out he didn't want to be with me, I just…I kind of lost it." Joey says.
"Right and how much do you know, Sam?" Natasha asks. Joey looks at her confused. "Look, if you know something that might help us, I can help you get a plea deal, get some time off your sentence. But only if you level with me and tell me what's really been going on." Natasha says.
"And they won't know I told you?" Joey asks.
"No, not until the trial and even then we can put you in protective custody." Natasha says "You will be safe from them."
"Right, well, Sam told me because he thought I would be too scared to tell anyone else. He threatened me and Troye. There's a storm shelter in the backyard."
"Okay. What happens in that storm shelter?" Natasha asks writing this all down.
"It's not what happens there it's who lives or should I say is kept there." Joey says. "They are just kids and two guys who were in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"What are their names?"
"Sam Golbach, Colby Brock, Tyler Rush, and Cass Bolton," Joey says, "The last two are known as Amp and Bolt on YouTube. They have a channel called Watts the Safeword."
"Do you have reason to believe anyone else knew about this kidnapping?" Natasha asks.
"No, only Sam and I know." Joey says.
"Okay, thank you, Joey, I promise since you did not commit any assault against any of the people that you kidnapped you could get off easy." Natasha says. She stands up walking out of the room. "Grey, come here for a second?" Grey turns around heading over to her. "We may have just broke your cold case wide open. I need to tell Kendall and then we can head off. You mind taking Joey back to his cell?"
"Yeah." Grey says. Natasha sneaks into the interrogation room window. She pushes a button.
"Sarg, can I speak to you for a moment?" Natasha asks through the speaker. Kendall puts his hands on the table staring at Sam for a good minute before turning and walking out the door. Natasha forgets to make sure that the button is off which it isn't. So Sam can hear the whole conversation between the two.
"What is it, Nat?"
"You know that case, Grey was so obsessed with? We got a break. Apparently that one in there is behind it. They have a storm cellar in the backyard and that's where he's keeping them. Joey told me everything. I am going to radio the officers still there to check outside. Grey and I are off to the hospital. Should I take the other four with me?"
"Sure, I still got to get information out of him. He's one sick bastard." Kendall says. Natasha nods heading out the door.
"Grey, wait, where's Benny?"
"Talking to them." Grey says pointing to Benny talking with Jesse and Jeana.
"Are you an idiot?! Stupid idea, Grey. Really stupid idea." Natasha says. Benny has his arms crossed; Jesse has his elbows on the bars staring hard at Benny.
"One day, you are going to wish you didn't say these things to me. You are going to live to regret it." Jesse says.
