Chapter Two: The Search Begins

Justin's POV:

'Ugh my head! It feels like I got bashed again! What happened?' I thought to myself groaning in pain as I sat up and held my head. I felt something wet and pulled my hand back to see blood. 'Great, I really WAS bashed again! Luckily it doesn't seem to bad, just hurts like hell.' I thought and slowly looked around to see where I was.

'The last thing I remember was walking outside to the dumpster and was about to head back inside when I heard someone come up behind me.' I thought. My eyes widened when I realized what happened. "I was kidnapped?!" I said aloud and nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard laughing coming from behind me. I quickly jumped up and turned to face the laughing person. Only to get the shock of my life.

"Stockwell?" I asked he disbelief. He laugh and smiled creepily at me making me instinctively step back some. "Glad to see you remember what I look like. The last time I saw you was at Kinney's place laying naked on the floor with posters bashing me around you!" he finished, his voice had gotten louder with each word and he was screaming by the end. My worry deepened when he mentioned Brian.

"Where's Brian?" I asked trying to keep the fear out of my voice. Stockwell smiled and shook his head, "Kinney's not here. He's safe at the diner, probably found my little gifts I left by now." he said smiling evilly. Despite my situation I couldn't help but feel relieved Brian wasn't here too. That's when my brain caught up with his words. "What 'gifts' did you leave him?" I asked and he laughed again, 'This guy really likes to laugh and smile all creepy.' I thought to myself then went back to listening to him, "I just left him a nice little note and small thing of your blood from that wound of yours." Stockwell said pointing at my head. My eyes widened in fear. Brian's never been good with seeing my blood since prom, he can barely get through doctor check ups and, when tricked, our HIV check ups! Seeing that probably's killed him.

"Ah yes, I know of Kinney's little fear of seeing your blood. I know of the bashing that happened at your prom as well." He said and I snapped my head to look at him, "How do you know about that?" I asked and he laughed, "Well, besides being a cop at the time and it being on the news for like a day, I've done some research. You didn't really think that I just saw you and decided to take you, did you?" He asked my eyes widened in understanding, "That's right, I've been following you and Kinney, mainly you, for two two months now. I knew what I was doing and planned it all out. I knew when it would be a good time to take and how long I'd have before Kinney came running to find you." he said and I took it in and thought for a moment.

"So, you planned on taking me, why?" I asked though I was pretty sure of the answer, and it scared me. "You should already know why I took you. I took you because Brian was the main reason I lost the campaign and everything I held dear! So, I sought revenge and I knew taking you would be the perfect kind. You'll be here for two months while Brian tries to find you in time." he said smiling evilly. I gulped and this time I couldn't hide my fear, "On time?" I asked and he just nodded his head. "If he doesn't find you within these two months, well, he'll be looking for a body at that point." he said and a backed up until I hit the wall in fear. He laughed and went to leave but I stopped him.

"Wait, why wait two months? Why not kill me now?" I asked. He turned and smiled at me, "Because that would be to easy, you and I are going to have 'fun' each day you're here. Plus, it took two months for me to lose everything, so Brain gets two months to save his." he said and left me shaking as he shut and locked the door.

I sunk down to the floor and brought my legs up and wrapped my arms around them, trying to disappear into the wall.

'I'm scared Brian, please hurry.' I thought to myself as I fell asleep.

Brian's POV:

I woke up hoping that what had happened was all a dream. But when I saw that I was laying in a booth and the family with tears in their eyes and police everywhere, I knew my wish wasn't granted. I groaned and sat up slowly catching the family's attention. Mikey came over to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him and saw that his eyes were red and puffy from crying. "How you doing Bri?" he asked and I just stared at him, 'Oh, I'm doing great Mikey! Justin was just taken from me but other than that I'm just peachy!' I wanted to yell but I just couldn't find my voice.

I felt his hand squeeze my shoulder to try and comfort me, "We'll find him Brian. Justin's a smart kid and strong. Stockwell was an idiot for telling us that he'd come here every Friday and leave clues and then told us we could get the police involved. It's Tuesday now, and by this Friday night Justin will be safe again. Just you watch Bri!" He said determinedly. I smiled at him and thanked him before I looked around the diner.

Debbie had clearly closed it because only the family and cops were here. I looked over at Debbie and saw Jennifer and Daphne crying and holding each other. 'The others must have called them shortly after calling the police.' I thought to myself and turned to see Lindsay and Melanie and Gus coming over to me. The girls had tears in their eyes and had their arms around each other and Gus looked confused but smiled and up to me when he saw me.

"Daddy!" he yelled and climbed into my lap and hugged me. I hugged him back tightly, not wanting to let go of him. "Daddy, why are all these policemen here? And why are you sad daddy? Please don't be sad." the four year old said and smiled up at me and hugged me again. I gave him my best smiled and hugged him back.

"Daddy's sad because of why the policemen are here." I whispered and he looked even more confused, "Why are they here daddy?" he asked and looked around the diner looking even more confused. He looked back at me, "Where Papa Justin?" he asked and my heart shattered even more and the girls started to cry a little harder.

"We don't know where Papa is Gus." I said trying not to sound to sad, 'How do you tell a kid that his other daddy was kidnapped and was probably being hurt as we speak and probably won't ever come back?' I asked myself and felt Gus climb off my lap and smiled at me, "I find Papa and bring him here! Papa can make everyone happy!" he said happily and took off to try and find his Papa. I broke down at my sons words and the girls came and hugged me tightly.

"We'll find him Bri, we'll find him." Linds whispered in my ear. I could do nothing but nod my head and cry as they tried to comfort me. But the only one who could is the reason for these policemen being here. "How do I tell Gus that his Papa was taken?" I whispered and Mel answered, "You won't. Linds and I will, you can be there if you want but I won't have you do something that's going to kill you even more inside." she said and I looked at her in shock. Since the campaign, Mel and I had come to a sort of truce and were trying to be civil with each other. But I didn't think we were close enough now for her to say something like that to me.

"Thank you Mel, Linds, I don't think I would've been able to handle it." I said and felt their arms tighten. Just then Gus came back looking a little sad, "Daddy I can't find Papa." he said and looked at the three of us for an answer. I looked away, unable to take the look on his face and felt Mel leave my side and pick up Gus. "Do you know where Papa is Mama?" he asked Mel and she shook her head and looked to me and Linds.

Linds gave my shoulder a squeeze before walking over to them and the girls sat across from me in the booth with Gus between them. "Gus honey, Papa isn't here." Linds started and he looked at her, "Where is he?" he asked and Mel answered running a hand through his hair, "We don't know baby. That's why all these policemen are here. Someone took Papa and won't give him back." she said gently and Gus had tears in his little eyes.

"Why won't they give him back? He's ours." he asked and I broke down then. Gus looked at me and he must have figured out that the situation was very bad from my reaction because he started to bawl then. Mel and Linds tried to calm him down, but it was hard since they too were sobbing.

The diner doors opened then and Ben and Hunter came in. Ben had a protective hold on his adopted son and Mikey hugged both of them tightly and also placed a protective arm around Hunter when he let go. Clearly thinking he'd disappear to if they let him go. I got up and went to the bathroom and fell to the floor and cried.

'Why did the bastard have to take him' I thought and felt strong arms wrap around me. I looked up into Emmett's face and saw tears there but also determination and murder there. "I know this is hard but Justin needs you. Be strong for him and find him, then we'll kill the son of a bitch!" he said determinedly and coldly. I looked at him in shock then whipped the tears away and looked at him with the same amount of determination and murder in my owns eyes.

He helped me up and I walked out and went straight to Carl. "So, how are we going to find my Sunshine and the son of a bitch?" I asked him.

He looked at me and gave me a sad smile. "We'll start in Liberty Avenue and work our way through the rest of the city. But I must warn you. There's a good chance of us not finding him in time. Even though he's risking to come here every Friday at the same time and letting us be involved, he was the best in the field and if he doesn't want to be found then he won't be. He probably won't even bring the clues himself." Carl said and I just looked at him.

The bastard took Sunshine! That's why we'll find him. He took my baby and that was his biggest mistake. I won't rest until he's in my arms again!" I said and the family looked at me in shock before they all smiled and voiced their agreements. Carl smiled and nodded at me.

"That's our Brian." he said and I gave my signature smirk.

"Now, let's hunt the bastard down."

And there's chapter two! I might post chapter three today too, but I don't know yet:) hope you guys still like it:)
