Early morning Kurtis called all the boys in the hall. Every boy in the room including Barry feared they had done something wrong and Kurtis was mad at them. Stephen stood with Barry giving him assurance with his presence that he was not alone.
Kurtis stared at the boys for sometime while he sat on the main chair "I will choose four boys who are going to do today's job. I have made an important deal with someone who's going to make me rich! He is going to pay me double the amount...in return you will have to do exactly as he says"
Stephen frowned. What did his father mean by that? Barry too didn't understand what Kurtis meant but the way Stephen was tensed beside him, he knew something was not right.
"If I get any complain from my dealers...you all know the consequences" Kurtis voice was cold as ice. All the boys were literally shaking on their feet
"I will call out the names and those four boys come forward" Kurtis got up from his chair and walked straight infront of the terrified boys
"Jamie!"
"Daniel!"
"Edwin!"
"Barry!"
Stephen cursed mentally when he heard the last name. He was praying that Barry's name wouldn't be called out because his sixth sense were screaming at him that something big and bad was going to happen
The three boys came forward who were almost same age as Barry's. The teen was about to join the others when the older boy caught his wrist. He looked at Stephen and signed "It's okay. I will be fine" Barry gave a small smile even though he was scared from inside
"Barry! What's taking you so long? Get your lazy ass over here!" Kurtis yelled at the boy who ran and stood beside the three other boys
Kurtis circled the four boys "When the four of you will make the exchange, the dealer will give you money. I want you all to keep the money in the drawer of your rooms and do exactly as you are told"
All four teenagers were confused. They had never left the money before in the hotel rooms so why now. No one dared to ask knowing that would only make Kurtis angry.
"I want you all four boys to take nice clean bath and wear good clothes when you go to make the exchange" Kurtis continued instructing. Stephen pursed his lips thinking what was his father planning to do. Why does he need them to go clean?
Kurtis stood infront of them "Oh...I forget one more thing...the deal is going to held here...in our house so I want rest of the boys to get into your rooms at sharp nine o clock! Am I clear?"
Stephen's worry was doubled. Never before his father had made a deal in the house then why today? What the was he planning to do?
Everybody nodded in the room "You too Stephen!" said Kurtis. The older boy nodded to his father.
AT NIGHT
As told all the boys had gone to sleep at nine o'clock. Their sleeping arrangements were in a big hall downstairs where all the beds were placed in row. As soon as Stephen along with other boys entered the room Kurtis locked the door from outside. He then called Barry and other three kids to get ready for the exchange and went out of the house saying he will be back soon
The four boys walked in four seperate rooms that were made upstairs. When Barry entered his room he saw an old man was already seated on the bed. He looked about Joe's age and he was drunk. The teen didn't like the way he was eyeing him from top to bottom. He just wanted to get out of the room so he quickly handed the drugs to the man "Give me the money"
The man chukled softly "What's the hurry pretty boy...we have all night to us" he then locked the door and came close to the boy running his hand on Barry's arms. Barry jerked a step back in shock "What... What do..you mean? Why did you lock the door?"
The old man removes his coat and started losing his tie "Oh come on kid...you are all dressed up for tonight... suddenly you have to become shy? I paid good amount for one night"
"One night? What.." Barry now very well had the idea what the man meant. His heart began to thump widly. He coudn't believe Kurtis would go this low "I am leaving... this is a mistake" He turned towards the door when the man caught his wrist and turned it behind his back. The man pulled the struggling teen to himself "You are not leaving until I get what I came for"
Barry yelled at the top of his voice "No! Help..let me go!...I don't want this" The man wrenched Barry's arm even more making the boy gasp in pain "No one is going to help you boy...you will be mine"
Barry felt himself being pulled towards the bed. He was terrified inside. His eyes filled with tears as he kept pleading and struggling with the man. Just when he was thrown on the bed the door opened with a loud bang and Barry saw Stephen enter the room with a kitchen knife in his hand. He looked furiously at the old man. The man was surprised at the sudden interruption and Barry took this opportunity and kicked the man with his legs. He then ran towards Stephen and hugged him with all his strength.
Barry never felt this relief in his life. He trembled in the older boy's hold and cried "You...You came...he...he was going to..." Barry coudn't even finish the sentence
Stephen tightly held the frightened boy with one hand. He knew from the beginning that his father was up to something bad. So when they were locked n the room Stephen climbed out the window to check on Barry. When he heard the boy's cries for help, the older ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife.
The older boy glared at the old man who got up from the floor and pointed at Barry "Who are you? Give the boy to me... I paid for him"
Stephen slowly removed Barry from him and placed behind himself and hissed at the old man. Barry saw the man came charging towards his brother and attack him. Stephen pushed Barry aside and fought with the older man.
Barry saw how bravely he tackled the blows and took a few to his body. During their fight Stephen's knife went flying under a chair. He was too much in shock to move from his place. Just when he thought his brother had almost got the upper hand he saw with wide eyes how the man got hold of the knife and jammed it on Stephen's stomach
Barry let out a gut wrenching scream "Noooo!" He pulled himself from the floor and caught the man's shirt from behind. He didn't know where he got the strength from when he threw the old man across the room. The man hit his head hard on the wall and lost consciousness.
Stephen held his now heavily bleeding stomach and swayed on his spot. Barry caught the older boy in his arms and lowered him on the floor "Stephen! Oh my God...Stephen"
The older boy took shallow breaths. His face was pinched in pain. He saw there was a mobile on the side table of the bed. With some difficulty he signed to Barry "Mobile...table...call cops"
Barry's eyes fell on the table and on the phone. He shook his head "No...first we have to get you to hospital! You are bleeding Stephen...let's go!" he tried to pull the boy up but Stephen stopped him "I don't...have time...we need..to stop this...my father will...be back soon"
"I don't care! Your life is important to me...brother please..." Barry cried with heavy voice
Stephen shook his head. He was having trouble seeing Barry's face due to the pain. He gritted his teeth and continued signing "Listen...can you hear...our friends are asking for help.."
Barry looked at the door and heard how his other three friends were screaming for help. He was saved by Stephen but who was going to save them from the sexual assault. Stephen placed his bloody hand on Barry's cheek and pleaded with his eyes to listen to him
"Okay...okay...I will make the call...but then we are going to hospital okay...you are going to be fine...you are not leaving me!" Barry raised his tearful voice
Stephen gave a small nod and Barry ran to pick the mobile. He quickly dialed to the cops and rambled for help. The teen didn't know the exact location of their house. The officer on phone told him not to disconnect the call so they will trace the call.
Barry placed the phone back on the table and turned towards Stephen. He saw his eyes were open and was staring straight to his front. The boy frowned. A dread pooled in his stomach "Stephen?"
When he got no answer Barry slowly walked to his brother and frozed when he neared him. That moment he coudn't breathe. He coudn't hear the screams that came from outside. He coudn't get his legs to move forward because...because he coudn't see Stephen's chest moving.
Stephen was dead
Barry stood shell shocked his eyes never leaving the dead form of his brother. Stephen died saving him. Stephen died because he coudn't do anything to help. He stood there and watched how the knife was driven to his stomach. He stood there because he was too scared to fight. He was too weak to defend himself. And now his brother paid the price with his life.
Kurtis came into the room and was shocked when he saw his son lying dead and the dealer unconsious on the floor. He saw how Barry was covered in blood "What the hell did you do?" he roared at Barry
He ran towards Barry who was still looking at Stephen. Barry didn't register Kurtis hit him. He didn't register when Kurtis kicked him. He didn't register when Kurtis used his belt on him but he did hear the words loud and clear "You killed my son! What did you do? You are a killer...you killed my son"
PRESENT
Barry hid his face in his hands and cried. His painful sobs and ragged breathing were the only sounds that could be heard in the hall where his family and friends sat surrounding him.
All eyes had tears in them. Joe didn't know how to react. His son had seen two deaths in that year, one being the person who gave him hope to in life. How could anyone ever be able to come out of that experience.
Oliver's heart clench painfully hearing Barry's cries. He didn't know what words to use. How to comfort the broken boy in front of him. Two deaths in one year that no child ever deserve to witness.
Caitlin wiped the tears with her palm. She didn't know how to stop her friend from crying. A part of her wanted to let Barry cry so he could be free from the burden.
Cisco stared at his friend crying along with him. He didn't know how to control his anger. He was angry at the man who killed Stephen. He was angry at the man who tried to force himself on Barry. He was angry at them for hurting his friend
Joe took a deep breath. He has to be strong. Barry needed him. His son needs him the most right now "Barr.." he placed his hand on Barry's arm
Barry jerked at the touch. He abruptly got up from the couch and stumbled away from them "Don't touch me... I am a killer!...I ..I killed my brother" he gasped a huge breath. The speedster was shaking on his spot "I killed him"
"Calm down Son"
"Barry it's alright...calm down"
"Please don't say that...you know it's not true"
"Barry...we are here for you...it's not your fault"
The group tried to convince the hyperventilating boy but they seem to fail. The next moment they felt was a gush of wind indicating that the speedster had run away from them
"Barry!"
