Mercedes POV
Sam just ended his call with Rachel all I couldn't make out anything she was saying because she was crying and muttering. "Baby, what Rachel did want? Is everything okay with TJ?" I waved my hand in front of his face. "Sam! Sam!" I pushed him. "Sam! What did Rachel want?"
"What?"
"What did Rachel want? Did something happen to TJ? Is everything okay?"
He shook his head no. "Sam I asked you 3 questions you are making me scared by the look on your face. What did she tell you?"
"Rachel took Logan and TJ to the park and some guy tried to run off with TJ."
"What?! Sam get us to our baby now! Now! Now!" I hit out at him.
"I am! I am! I don't know!" He speed out the parking lot not paying any attention to the rules and regulations of the road, went around people, took one way streets, and even gave the finger. We had to get to TJ, Rachel house from the clinic was a good 45 minutes we made it in 20 minutes. Sam parked the truck any old kind of way I didn't even wait for him I was already at the door knocking Rachel opened the door I didn't even have to ask that question she already knew.
"Upstairs in Logan's room." She stepped back and I ran up the steps down the hall to Logan's room they were both in Logan's bed sleep and still sniffling.
"Baby." Sam said walking up behind me. "Let Logan and TJ sleep we'll talk to him when they wake up. Okay." I just nodded my head my eyes brimming with tears. "Let's go downstairs and talk to Rachel."
"M-My baby."
"I know." Sam said. "He's my baby too." We both gave him a kiss and I took Sam's hand and we went downstairs.
"What-What happened Rachel?"
"TJ and Logan were p-playing next thing I hear is TJ screaming "no" followed by "Aunt Rachel", and some-some guy in all b-black running away from where they were. It was s-scary and I told them not long before if a s-stranger tries to talk to them yell no and that's exactly what he did. I'm glad I told him that I don't know what made me say that today of all days and all times. I say that and this. I'm just."
"I'm glad you told them that. Did anyone call the cops?"
"Yes, but TJ wanted to come home so I left my phone number with one of the parents because TJ and Logan both wanted off that playground and I did too. Some of the men ran in the direction he went but he could have been long gone by then."
"Do you know if the person yelled his name?"
"I asked him but he was too distraught to talk. He wanted kept crying. I asked Logan if the guy called his name and he said yes."
"Sam, baby his dream."
"Dream? He dreamed about this?" Rachel asked.
Sam brushed away my tears. "Y-Yeah and then he drew a picture he said it was a monster. W-What if that was Tank on the playground today?"
"Tank! Wait. What does Tank have to do with this?"
"Tank is TJ's monster ever since my brother got shot he's had a few dreams about him. One of his dreams was of him being on the playground playing and this person he's running from is Tank but he sees Tank and he knows its Tank in his dream."
Rachel phone rang and she walked away to take the call. "Hello. Yes my address is…That was the police. They're on their way here to talk to TJ and Logan I'm going to go wake them up Mercedes you coming with me?"
"Yeah."
Sam's POV
'Cedes and Rachel went upstairs to wake up the boys and my high that I was on got yanked away from me when I got the call I thought back to ultrasound pulled out the pictures from the sonogram when I was interrupted by the door it as the police.
"Are you Mr. Berry?"
"Um…no. I'm Mr. Evans, you're here to speak to my son and his cousin. I need to ask you a quick question before they come back down here." I closed the door went outside. "My wife and I got restraining orders and she said that hers was served but I want to make sure. Can you check?"
"I'll check again. No problem. What's the name?
"His name is Reginald Mason." I told the officer as he called it in I waited by his car door. "So, was it?"
"Yes, he was served."
"Good. Double check again."
"What I just checked and it was served."
"I don't care. Do it again someone tried to take my son and when you mess with my family you mess with the wrong one. Check." I pointed to his walkie-talkie.
"Fine."
He said I looked up at the door and Mercedes and Rachel were standing there wondering what was the hold up. "What's the hold up, Sam? The boys are up."
"Okay. We'll be in." I waved them off. "So, what is it?"
"He wasn't served."
"What the fuck you mean he wasn't served?! How the hell does this shit happen? First y'all don't Mirandize him and then this?! The fuck! I have a family to protect and y'all can't do basic shit."
"No hold up we couldn't find him."
"What you mean not find him? He was at my house earlier in the week maybe y'all need to set up camp there. I may set up a coffee and donut stand so when he lurks about y'all can look up from the jelly filled donuts and serve his ass! Look I'm going inside I need to calm down then I have to explain to my wife how this fine police department can't serve and protect her and our son. Let's go! INSIDE!" I pointed to the door and the hastily went up the steps and inside and I followed. Mercedes was comforting TJ and we locked eyes and she knew something was off.
"Before we start I would like to have a talk with my husband right quick."
"S-Sure." She walked over to me grabbed me by the hand and we headed upstairs.
"What were you talking to them about?"
"Nothing." I answered and I knew that didn't go over well with her.
"Samuel Evans, look at me. What happened out there I heard you cursing?" I closed my eyes and leaned back on the door.
"Baby, I'll tell you but it's not the right moment we have TJ and Logan waiting to talk to the police officers once they get done I'll tell you once we get home."
"Are you sure? Last time you kept information from me."
"No longer." I gave her a kiss. "Once home you, me, JJ, Stevie, and Puck can talk."
"Why all of them? Is it bad?"
"A little come on." We went back downstairs; Rachel was waiting by the steps.
"Everything okay?"
"Yeah. It's good. Y'all can start now."
"Okay. I'm Officer Smith and this is Officer Raymond, we just want to talk to you both about what happened at the park. That's good. You are?" Officer Raymond pointed from TJ and Logan and the both introduced each other.
"Yeah. I'm TJ and that's Logan." TJ didn't wait for the police to ask a question they just went right at it.
"Logan and I were playing and we went to this area were we could throw the b-ball and it was a blue ball and we started throwing it and this guy just started saying my name. Right Logan?" He turned to look at him.
"Yup. He was dressed in all black."
"Did you see his face?"
They both shook their heads. "No, he had a mask on or something like a mask on and sunglasses and when he yelled TJ's name, TJ yelled what mommy told us to yell, "no", and I told him "leave my brother alone a-and I threw my ball at him so he wouldn't catch him and he tripped but he got up and went the other way some of the people ran after him and some crowded around us."
"Did you see him before y'all started playing?"
"No, sir he came out the bushes I think because right where we were playing at are bushes."
"Can you describe the guy TJ?"
"He was tall and he had on all black that's all I remember I started running when he yelled my name."
"Did you recognize his voice?" Officer Smith asked TJ.
"No."
"Okay looks like we're done here."
"Alright. TJ and Logan go upstairs."
Rachel, 'Cedes, and myself saw the officers out the door. "We talked to some of the parents at the playground and he didn't have a car so he was more than likely on foot or he could have been dropped off. Do you have any idea do who would do this?"
"Yeah, Tank, better known as Reginald Mason, name ring a bell." The officer eyes grew wide. "Yup. Oh by the way this is my wife, Mrs. Evans and the little boy TJ is my son." Mercedes shook their hands. "Y'all have a good one." Rachel had gone back inside and I watched the officers leave.
"What was that about?"
"I'll explain it all once we get home. Are you about ready?" I asked opening the the truck and getting in.
"Yeah, I'm going inside to get TJ."
She went back inside to get TJ and I started up the car it took a while for her to come back out TJ didn't come with much just some snacks and his jersey. I soon figured out why.
"Auntie said I could spend the night!"
"That's good." I got out and took the booster seat from 'Cedes and his bag. "Baby, you should have come and got me. I don't want you straining yourself." She followed me to the trunk.
"It's not heavy Sam besides I lifted things when I was pregnant with TJ."
"That's different now. You got me." I pulled her into kiss.
"Do they always kiss?" I heard Logan asked TJ.
"Yes Logan, your aunt and I always kiss now let me get this in and we'll be off!" I installed Logan's booster seat, loaded up my wife, TJ and Logan and home-bound we were 'Cedes and I didn't talk much on the way home Logan and TJ talked the whole way.
"We can play games late! My Uncle JJ is there so we can team up on him and Uncle Stevie."
"We can play Mario Kart Wii."
"Yeah, who you going to be Logan?"
"Baby Mario."
"Well if you gonna baby Mario I'm gonna be big Mario and…"
"They're making gaming plans." I laughed. I looked over at 'Cedes and she was lost in her own thoughts. "Baby what are you thinking about over there?"
"I'm thinking about what your mother said about what if he wasn't…you know. It's been playing in my mind all week and I suppressed the idea but this happening with TJ. It could be him but then again I have my restraining order so it can't be him. I don't know but a part of me is telling me that he wasn't served. I mean your mother sold it and now…I'm buying it."
A/N: Who is it?! Who is trying to take TJ? Will Sam tell Mercedes once home or will he let her wait a while? We'll find out in the next chapter of which I'm already working on and we're already sitting on 1k+ words. Oh y'all want Sister Santana Lopez to return just let me know.
