Rachel's fingers were flying on her phone before she knew what she was doing. She'd never called 911 before, but it felt terrifying. Like she'd hit the wrong button and screw everything up, every chance they had at ever getting her best friend back. Kurt... Oh god Kurt...
Blaine was sitting on the couch, his eyes red. He had a blanket around his shoulders and was taking shaky breaths, trying to sip the tea Rachel had made. Rachel looked over at Blaine. "Do you want me too, or...?"
Blaine held his hand out, reaching for the phone. Rachel realized it was for the best. After all, Blaine had heard everything Sebastian had said, whereas Rachel had only heard Blaine's side of the conversation. It had been pure torture- the worst type. Even worse than waiting to find out whether she got the role of Fanny Bryce or not. She hadn't been sure if anything could be as bad- until this had happened. She didn't realize how much she depended and needed Kurt until there was a possibility he might not ever talk to her again...
Stop it Berry! She scolded herself. You will get to talk to him again!
Blaine held the phone to his ear, waiting. It took a moment, but someone eventually picked up. It was a woman. "911, what's your emergency?"
"Hello..." Blaine took a shaky breath. "My boyfriend's been kidnapped-"
"Name?"
"Kurt Hummel."
"Your name?"
"Blaine Anderson."
"How do you know he's been kidnapped?"
"I received a call from the kidnapper. He... He said I had 3 days to pay him $800 dollars or he'd... he'd..."
The woman seemed to understand. "Did you know the kidnapper?"
"Yes. Sebastian Smythe."
"What's your address?" Blaine gave her the correct address. "We'll send someone over immediately."
"Thank... Thank you..." Blaine felt tears coming to his eyes again and he wiped them away. He let the phone come down from his ear and he hung up, trying not to burst back into tears. He hiccuped, looking over at Rachel, who was keeping surprisingly calm now. "They're sending someone over."
Rachel sighed, letting out a breath. "Thank god..." She sat down next to Blaine, putting a hand on his shoulder. Blaine shut his eyes, letting the feeling of cold defeat wash over him again. "It'll be okay." She'd said that only 50 times since he'd first gotten the phone call and each time it seemed less and less true. Blaine kept silent still, wishing he had Kurt there with him again. Instead of with Sebastian. God knows what was happening to his beautiful boyfriend right now...
His head ached. He didn't want to get up, didn't want to raise his head... He wanted to lay there forever, with his head down on the cold ground. But he heard a door slam shut and flinched instinctively. His head hurt worse. Slowly, Kurt opened his eyes. There was a light shining behind him. His wrists were tied together. Why...
All at once, memories flooded over him and he panicked. His ankles were tied together also, making it impossible to try and successfully move. Plus he was in a locked cage. Turning onto his chest, Kurt slowly pushed himself onto his knees. His wrists hurt from the bonds and he winced at his headache. Lifting his hands, he put a finger against the right side of his head- where it hurt the worst. His head throbbed and he pulled away instantly, hissing. Looking down, Kurt saw dried blood on the ground where his head had been. The side of his head felt sticky. Kurt shuddered. How much had he bled when he hit the ground?
"Oh look, he's awake." Kurt looked over towards the door of the cage. Sebastian was kneeling by the cage-door, smiling at him. "How are you, Kurt?" Kurt didn't answer. He pulled his legs back towards him, feeling a heavy weight drop in his chest. "You got a little bit right there..." Sebastian gestured to the side of his own head. Kurt bit his lip. "Well." Sebastian clapped his hands together. "We have a lot to do and only 3 days to do it all, so, Kurt..." Sebastian's smile became evil. "Let's have some fun, shall we?"
There were 2 police officers- a man and a woman. The woman, Elizabeth, walked over towards the man who could only be Blaine, while the man, Jacob, stayed next to the other girl- who had opened the door. Elizabeth sat next to her, pulling out a pad of paper. "So you're Blaine, right?" The man nodded. "And you were Kurt's boyfriend?" Blaine nodded a second time. "And you knew Sebastian?" Blaine nodded a third time. "How?"
"I used to go... to a school called Dalton. And I transferred to Kurt's school and left my Glee club... Sebastian transferred to Dalton soon after and we were competitors..." Blaine explained. Elizabeth noted how much Blaine was shaking.
"How did he contact you telling you he had Kurt? And how did you know he actually had Kurt?" Elizabeth added after jotting down a few notes.
"He... He called me from Kurt's phone and I heard... I heard Kurt yelling my name..." Blaine's eyes sparkled with tears. "God I just..." His shoulders shook. Elizabeth had a sudden urge to reach out and comfort the man, but she didn't know him at all, so she kept to herself. Instead, she nodded.
"Did he threaten Kurt then?"
"Yes... He... He said I had 3 days to pay him $800 dollars or... And then he hurt Kurt... And... I heard Kurt..."
Elizabeth, despite herself, let her hand fall onto Blaine's shaking shoulder. All of her professional instincts told her to let go, but she didn't want too. She hated to see anyone in pain- mental, physical, or emotional. "I promise you we will find your boyfriend." She said, her tone sounding confident. She cleared her throat, drawing her hand back. "And how did you meet him? Kurt, I mean."
"He... He came to visit Dalton and he was being bullied because he was gay and I helped him through it... And then he transferred..." Elizabeth felt bad as she watched detail after detail spill from Blaine's mouth.
"So Kurt transferred to Dalton before Sebastian came? And did he leave before also?" Blaine nodded in response. "Going back to what you said about the call... Did he tell you why he wanted Kurt at the $800?"
"He said... Well..." Blaine coughed, hiccuping. "I guess he liked me or whatever... And I chose Kurt over him and he's always been jealous of Kurt and... and... he said New York wasn't 'treating him well' or something and..." Blaine shut his eyes, letting his head fall. Elizabeth felt terrible again, but let him continue. "And he wanted Kurt for 3 days while I get $800... And he didn't say why, but..." Blaine hiccuped again.
Elizabeth nodded. "Have you contacted Kurt's parents?"
Blaine's eyes widened and he let loose a swear before shaking his head. "I totally forgot... damn it..." He fumbled for his phone. Elizabeth let him call Kurt's parents, not wanting to listen to the one-sided angst conversation. But she had too... "Burt?... Yeah... Um, well... Kurt is- No, I don't know if he's okay. Sebastian kidnapped him-" Elizabeth heard the shout of angst that sounded from Kurt's father, even through the phone. "He called and... God- yes, I did. They're here now... I'm so sorry Burt." Blaine's voice cracked with emotion. "Yeah, you can stay here... Okay. I'll tell you when you get here- No, Burt, I can't explain it quickly... Please just come here... yeah, bring Finn and Carole, just come... Thank you... I'm sorry... Bye." Blaine pulled the phone from his ear, clicking the conversation off.
"Thank you, Blaine." Elizabeth said, her voice soft. "I promise you will do everything we can to find Sebastian. Did he say how you would give him the money and how you would get Kurt?"
"He... He hinted he'd come..." Blaine said. "In 3 days..."
Kurt's wrists and ankles were still bound together, even as Sebastian dragged him out of the cage. Kurt struggled against the bonds and Sebastian grip, only until Sebastian's hand flew, hitting Kurt's cheek. His head snapped to the right, his cheek immediately starting to throb. Kurt gritted his teeth and Sebastian stopped dragging him, letting him go. "Don't try and struggle." His voice seemed to have gotten twice as deep. Kurt took a shaky breath as Sebastian smiled, standing up taller again. "Alright now. What should we do first..."
Kurt pushed himself off the ground, sitting upright. "What are the options?"
"I wasn't asking you." Sebastian kicked out, his boot slamming into Kurt's chest. It sent the smaller boy onto the ground, gasping for the breath that had been stolen from him. Sebastian turned so he wasn't facing Kurt anymore. Kurt's chest ached, although it wasn't as bad as his head. Sebastian turned sharply, looking down at Kurt. "Alright..." He knelt down next to Kurt's head, running soft fingers along the side of Kurt's head. Kurt shivered, wincing as the other boy's hands touched the sore spot on his head. Sebastian smiled. "That hurt?"
"No, I'm just being caressed by the man who kidnapped me-" Sebastian's hand flew again, slamming the other side of Kurt's head onto the ground.
"Don't talk back unless I tell you too, Hummel. And don't be annoying or mouthy. Got it?" Sebastian hissed into Kurt's ear, holding his head down with one hand. Kurt nodded, despite himself. Sebastian let the back of Kurt's head go and sat back. "Alrighty, Kurt... Let's start with this." Sebastian stood up, looking down at Kurt, who pushing himself onto his hands and knees. Kurt knew it was pushing it, but Sebastian didn't kick him. "I want to see your bruises. It'll help me know when to stop." Kurt looked up in confusion and fear. Sebastian's smile twisted into a smile. "Oh no, don't be worried. It's well deserved, Hummel."
He knelt down on his own hands and knees, pulling Kurt closer to him as he began to pull Kurt's shirt off.
A/N: No, it's not like that. I wouldn't do that to Kurt, I love him too much.
