"Caleb, where could he have gone? He was in no condition to be walking." All three boys were worried, but Pogue seemed to show it more than the other two, Pogue, who was the least connected to Tyler. The hospital room was empty as the unanswered questions stopped.

"I have a guess," Reid sneered, he continued once he saw that he had the other two boys undivided attention. He knew the other two were thinking the same thing once the looks on their faces contorted into looks of anger.

"He must have snuck in last night while we were in the hallway." Caleb concluded. "Now the only question is, where did Raary take Tyler?"

--

Was that really necessary?

You know that it was needed for the ceremony.

You fucking raped him!

It's not rape if he wanted it.

-Only because you gave him those pills.

All I need is three more things from him and this will all be over.

And He'll be dead…

"I hate you! How could you do that to us?" Someone yelled above him. Tyler was on the ground, tears streaking his face. A hand came up to hold the sore cheek where he had been hit a moment before. He couldn't see who it was that was standing above him because his vision was too blurry.

"You're just a fucking slut." Those words hurt Tyler, sending a shock of sadness and pain through him. The person kneeled down, making eye contact with him, but Tyler wasn't completely sure he was. "Tell me, what did it take for you to let him have you?"

Tyler's blue eyes widened as fresh salty tears streaked down his face. He had never wanted it, but whatever he had given him had possessed him. He couldn't consider it sex because he didn't want it, but it wasn't rape either because at that moment, all he had longed for was someone's touch.

"I-I didn't…I didn't want that." His voice wavered and his throat became wracked with sobs. The person just shook their head and stood.

"You're some actor. Either you wanted it and you're lying to me now, or the tape was fake. I don't know, it looked pretty real to me." Tyler's body was racked with sobs as the person walked away.

"Caleb, I really don't want to stay at your house. You know your mom doesn't like me."

"Quit complaining Reid. We don't know what this guy is capable of." Caleb replied. Gorman had insisted they go back to the manor and he'd stay and keep a look out for Tyler.

It was odd when he had gotten home though. The house was eerily quiet. "Mom?" He called. He entered the kitchen when he heard a faint clinking sound. Evelyn was sitting at the dinning room table stirring some sugar into her coffee. Evelyn had been trying to quit drinking too much alcohol.

She was staring at a manila envelope sitting on the table. Written on it in black sharpie was, "For the Ipswich covenant of silence." Caleb stared at it bewilderedly before grabbing it and leaving the room. He set it down on the living room coffee table where Pogue and Reid had equally puzzled looks on their faces.

Caleb opened the envelope and poured the contents out onto the table. "A video tape, a key, and a pendant?" Reid looked at the three items, which didn't seem to go together at all. Caleb stuck the video in the VCR and watched in silence as the scenes unfolded on the screen.

By the end of the tape, Reid's fists were clenched tightly to the point that his nails dug into his palm. "I don't know what he did to Tyler, but I'll kill him." Reid said through clenched teeth. "If it's the last thing I do, I'll kill him."
