Chapter 14

The door opened and the girl was thrown in.

At first Todd moved as the door was unbolted and knelt as Klaus pushed the sobbing girl into the room.

He turned to Todd, "Clean it up. I will be back if there is any mess you will pay."

Todd nodded without looking up, "Yes Sir, Thank you Sir." He said and relaxed a little as the door shut.

He took the girl a blanket. "Here, I need to dress your wounds." He said flatly not looking at her face but focusing on the fact her clothes were torn, trying to see what he could salvage and which injuries he needed to deal with first.

"Todd?" the girl sniffed her sobbing lessened, "He has you too?"

"Don't!" Todd warned, "My name is boy, your name is girl, any attempt to try to trick me will be met with punishment." He said softly handing her a wash cloth.

He didn't want to look at her face, if she was Summer the girl in his dreams then he didn't want to know, he didn't want to think his mother was dead and that a nice father and family had for a while been his, when he knew there was no chance of him ever regaining that. Sir always got what he wanted.

Of all the places he had been taken during his life this house was the one he hated the most.

The house in the middle of nowhere was surrounded on all sides by desert, Todd knew this as he had tried to run once, the house itself was from the outside a normal one story home, but Klaus had had a large underground system of rooms added. There were seven usable rooms and the storage area of around 30 square feet which held enough supplies that they wouldn't have to leave the compound for a year if they didn't wish to.

The boy's kennel was a small 8 by 8foot room which barely held a bed and a bucket and a small table. There were shackles on the wall and some on each leg of the bed, used when the boy misbehaved or Sir had 'friends' in who didn't like his other pets. Todd had been born in this room, it was…until his dream all he had known. Although his mother had told him stories about the outside and what they were like so when he was six Todd had snuck out and managed to get out to the outside, all he had wanted to do was see the stars, but Sir caught him and he was punished for a month, it was three months before he could lay on his back again.

This he didn't want for the girl.

"Todd, it's me Summer, your sister." She said trying to touch him, he flinched away from her.

"Your name is girl, is anywhere more injured than others I need to clean your wounds, you won't survive if you get an infection."

"Todd?"

"Please Summer…" He whispered and begged hoping this would calm her down.

"Is this what your life was like before you found us?" She asked tears still flowing as she seemed to have no way to stop them.

"This is life, there is no other." Todd said flatly; handing her another piece of cloth to wash more blood away with.

"You know there is Todd, Dad will come and get us, and we won't be here forever!" Summer insisted.

Todd flinched away from her, why wouldn't she listen. He heard the footsteps coming down the hallway and he knew what was coming.

"Don't blame yourself girl, it's not your fault." Todd got one of the shackles and chained her wrist to the wall.

"What are you doing…Todd! Please!" Summer panicked and pulled against the chain.

Todd got on his knees with his head bowed. "Sir!" he said reverently as the door opened.

"Did you convince her boy?"

Todd let out a sad breath, "No sir, she is still insisting her name is Summer, Girl wouldn't listen, I accept my punishment and I thank you for it." He said shaking.

Klaus turned to Summer, "Every time you call him Todd or yourself Summer this is what will happen, Watch Girl."

"Boy…" He nodded towards the bed, "Over there…Now!"

Todd scrambled and leant face first over the bed as Klaus reached down and got out the belt.

Summer screamed as Klaus started striking Todd with the belt.

Todd with a small quiver in his voice counted each one until he got to 25 and passed out.

Summer sobbed as she watched her brother take the punishment without making a sound other than the counting. Klaus looked at her "Girl, every time you tell him you're his sister, try to convince him there is life outside of here or try to lie to him in anyway…that is your punishment."

"B…but you hurt him not me!" She sobbed.

"Did I…" Klaus grinned, "Did I not hurt you. His name is boy if you don't want that to happen again CALL HIM THAT!" he yelled and laughed as she tried to get away… "Or maybe….I will let you spend time with my friends again," He said running his hand down the side of her face and cupping her breast with his hand. He leant in and kissed her as she fought to get away and spat in his face.

Klaus laughed and walked out of the room as Summer collapsed sobbing.

Eric stopped as close to the house as he dare, he had known of the one place where Klaus could be; he pulled his bike up and pulled the backpack onto the bike in front of him. He reached in and took out the Sig Sauer and checked the clip and the ammunition.

He heard a car coming down the road and he turned and pointed the gun in the direction of the car.

The car pulled up and Callen and Sam got out.

"You nuts, Eric?" Sam asked annoyed.

"No." Eric said flatly.

"Are you sure that's where they are?" Callen asked nodding towards the building.

Eric nodded and handed him the binoculars "He usually has someone on guard and the house itself is easy to get into, underneath there is a warren of rooms, I found the blueprints while I was staying at my fathers. I think this is where he kept Myra and Todd." He said pulling the blueprints out of the bag.

"Give me the gun Eric," Sam said and held out his hand.

"No, my kids are in there, you never had to listen to Todd's nightmares, God knows what he's doing to them…If it were your kids would you sit here?" Eric argued.

"No, but I can shoot. You hate guns!" Sam replied hotly.

Eric loaded his gun and Sam stood back sharply, he took aim and shot the top off a cactus at 500 yards.

"WOW!" Callen exclaimed,

"I said I didn't like guns, I never said I couldn't shoot!" Eric snapped, "Now are you going with me or am I going to shoot you!" he snarled.

"You wouldn't?" Sam queried.

"You're standing between me and my children….What do you think!"

Sam moved and looked at the plans.

Callen picked up his cell phone "I'll call it in, we will need back up."

Eric ran his hand through his hair and looked longingly at the building, he was so close he knew they were there and all he needed was to go the mile and a half to the house kick the door in kill anyone in his way and save his kids…waiting for backup was frustrating.

Eric grabbed the binoculars and shuddered as he saw his brother walk onto the porch and throw something onto the ground. He looked and realized it was a belt and a pile of bloody rags.

"Stuff back up, I'm going!" he said grabbing his bag and swinging his leg over his Ducati.

Sam put his hand on his arm, "Eric, you need to wait, you don't know what that is?"

Eric shook, "It's my kids shirt…its Todd's…and….he sobbed as he looked again through the binoculars, "He's knows, Klaus knows I'm here!" he said

"How do you know?" Callen asked concerned.

"It's Todd's shirt with the blood on and S…Summer's…..God, Callen, It's her underwear." He broke down. "He's a cold bastard, I need to get there!" he yelled frantically tearing himself away from the larger man.

"Eric STOP!" Callen yelled.

"I want to get down there as much as you do, but back up is ten minutes out, just you that long, please, it'll be better for your kids if the paramedics are here if they are needed. Just wait please!" Callen said holding Eric's arm.

Eric sank to his knees and sobbed, "Please…save my children."
