Chapter 6
Help
Caleb watched silently as Chase dragged a struggling Pogue away from a sobbing Kate. He felt terrible. He should never have let Pogue join the fight against Chase. If it had been just Caleb against Chase, Pogue would be free now and he and Kate would be together. That had been the deal, at least until Pogue decided to be a part and changed it all. Caleb shouldn't have let him. But looking at the bright side, if there was one, at least Reid and Tyler were safe now. As for Caleb, he wouldn't let Chase get away with this. Pogue was his best friend. He would help him. Somehow. He didn't quite know how yet though.
Once Chase and Pogue left the hospital, Caleb walked slowly back to his car, thoughts racing through his mind. He promised himself he would keep Reid and Tyler out of this, but he knew he would need their help if he was going to do something to help Pogue. Reid's at least. He always seemed to be able to think of something, no matter how crazy it was. And it usually worked. Caleb knew he would need them. But he didn't want to put them in danger again after just getting them out of it. He knew Reid wouldn't appreciate that. But then again, Reid would do just about anything for his friends, even if he didn't like it. He always had a bit of an attitude problem and would always fight against authority, which really was what Caleb and Pogue were a lot of the time since they were the oldest, but in the end, Reid was always an uncompromising friend.
Caleb sighed, knowing he'll regret what he was about to do, but he took out his phone and dialled Reid's number. After a few rings, Reid answered:
"Hullo?" He mumbled into the phone.
"Reid, it's Caleb." Caleb replied. "I need your help." Reid laughed.
"You know, I decided that you would probably need our help so we didn't leave yet. You're lucky I didn't listen to you." Caleb laughed also and nodded.
"You're right. For once, I'm glad you didn't listen to me. So you guys meet me at my house in an hour."
"Yup. No problemo. See ya soon."
