Reading in full effect (:

Stacey's POV

"I sent him downstairs to get me a snack that was 30 minutes ago. JJ!" I shouted to no response. "He must want me to come get it myself this is some pure foolishness got his baby and me waiting she starvin' I'm starvin' let me go down here see what is the hold up with my bag of potato chips." JJ was outside sitting on the porch with the light off. "JJ why are you out there? Who are you waiting on?"

"I'm waiting on Stevie, Puck, and Denise to show back up they've been gone all damn day none of them are answering their phones I know I called every hour on the hour." He handed me the bag. "I got you your chips."

"Thank you JJ but I had to come down here to get them so I need to thank my legs for bring me here. Thank you legs baby it's late let's go to bed." He waved me off. "You want me to go to bed alone."

"Yeah I-I mean no just I can't believe it. I'm gonna get me something to drink you can stay here to wait for them or follow me." I followed him to the kitchen in his hand was his already an unopened. "I already had a drink Stacey what didn't you tell me."

"I thought you knew. What is wrong with you?"

"Nothing is wrong with me I'm good you can go on up I'm straight." Car lights flashed on the wall JJ ran to the door. "Damn that's not them."

"Joshua." I closed the door. "Sit down on the couch." He reached around me I popped his hand. "No you aren't opening this door until I get to the bottom of this sit!" I snatched the remote putting in my back pocket. "You aren't turning on the television either we're going to talk about this. I noticed that when you came back from helping Sam free Preston you been acting strange you're antsy, kept checking your phone at dinner, you stalking Stenise house, you asked for me to call Stevie but block my number. You weren't your usual jovial-self thought it was just my hormones no it's you. What is it?" He cracked his wrist and fingers. "Would you stop that it's annoying and I don't want to see that." Sitting down I grabbed his hand. "Just tell me baby why are you acting like this?"

He sighed. "You really want to know I'm going to tell you straight up not beating around the bush." He licked his lips. "Tank is out."

I laughed. "That's what been troubling you Tank he is the reason you've been on this level of anxiety for the last 5 hours; Tank is back with Puck he's not getting out." He rubbed the nape of his neck. "Why are you looking at me so seriously?"

"Because it is serious Tank is free! He is out! He's probably at some chicken place right about now throwing down the bones from his meal laughing at us! Grandpa shared this with me he was knocked out sleep on the couch saying Tank beat up Lucky Puck went to check on him dropping of some keys key popped off he's gone something like but he's free."

"Are you sure that he's free? This is PawPaw we're talking about this is the man that took his Oscar fish everywhere he went that he left with another man fish."

"I get what you're saying grandpa is a little bit out there." I titled my head. "Okay fine he's way out there but on this I believe him."

"You can believe him I'm not until I hear it from Stevie or Puck…now since we got that cleared up can we go to bed now. Please I'll do that thing you like me doing wouldn't you like that…."

"No we cannot they just got back home you coming with me across the street." JJ extended his hand. "Well are you because if not I'm going alone."

"I'm coming with you but first let me…"

"Great!" Without warning he scooped me up running across the street. "Puck! Stevie! Denise! Where have you guys been? You know I've been calling all of your phones and not an answer. What if something would have happened to you? How would we have known?" JJ piled on question after question the faces of Denise, Stevie, and Puck is of fatigue and frustration. "Huh? Say something."

"So you know then?" Puck said leaning back on the car folding his arms. "Tank is out because of me no I didn't release him like I said I would dropping my key the key fell off not being in my right frame of mind to check the keyring I left it there!" He shouted. "On the ground! I'm tired of repeating this shit I'm spending the night here I can't look Sam and Mercedes in the eye knowing what I did. Good night."

"I-It's true Tank is free y'all didn't find him. How could y'all find him? Probably didn't know where he went."

"Actually Puck attached a tracking device to one of their cars we found the car but the tracking device was gone so…"

"They know."

Mercedes POV

Sam kissed me all over my face. "Baby to quote Ja Rule, where would I be without you I only think about you I was tired of being horny so my wifey put it on me not once but twice! I can get it up for a third time give me 10 to recover." He rolled over burying his head in the crook of my neck. "5 minutes for a nap and 5 minutes for me to get you in the zone Sam zone."

"Sam you had me in the Sam zone for the last two hours and I enjoyed every single minute and second of it but we got to get the boys in bed. Okay." He sat up giving me sexy eyes. "You aren't listening that's what got me the second time now I'm going downstairs to get the boys. Are you coming with me or not?"

"You go ahead down I'll be right behind you."

"Okay." I blew him kiss walking out the bedroom I could hear the television from the game room but no talking. "Those boys done went to sleep. I knew it."

"This is some serious gaming I see going on, not." Sam walked over taking the controllers I walked into the game room TJ was laid over on Parker, and Parker on JT as the game was watching them I turned off the television. "I know what you all going to say but we were playing that. I watched you play the game and the computer was winning against itself you'll have time to play tomorrow wake up boys TJ, Parker, JT up."

"Mommy! We were playing…skrnxxxxx."

"And he's sleep Sam." Sam picked up TJ he shook JT and Parker. "Parker, JT let's go boys only 15 little steps is the only thing connecting you from your beds." Once we hit the room as soon as they hit their heads hit the pillows they were out. "Night boys see you in the morning. You ready for part 3 I'm ready."

"I bet you are I'm not we already put it down." He smirked. "See you know you did it we need to talk though."

"About." I wrapped his arms around me. "What?"

"What JJ said remember him "joking" about TJ being kidnapped that's not a joking matter he picked the wrong choice of words I tried to block it out my mind all day it keeps coming up there are questions I have that aren't making sense why did Tank have fake IDs, why did he have birth certificates with different names and baby photo of TJ, why did he get a copy of TJ's birth certificate, why is he buying a house in Maryland all of these are red flags, he knows where we live who is to say that before Santana spotted him that he didn't share our address with his minions they can just roll up and…"

"He may not have I'm not defending Tank to you I wouldn't defend Tank before our lord and savior for sure wouldn't come to his defense for the devil I'm just saying don't dwell on this don't let him showing up take your joy he wants to hurt you like he's done so many times before if what JJ says happens pray to God it won't but we have the power and the ball is in our court we're a force by ourselves and together we're a movement and my next plan of action is to get you in that bed so I can give you some…" He picked me up. "Head." He kicked the door close. "Sam is gonna give you some head to get that thought out your head."

TJ's POV

Today is Sunday my favorite day of the week because of one reason church! I love that place it's where I get my soul fed and let the lord use me I woke up before my sleepover guest to wake them up I decided to belt out one of my favorite gospel songs having teaching Aunt Denise how to sing she taught me how to play the tambourine I reached under my bed playing. "Rise and shine give God the glory, glory JT rise and shine." JT removed his sock throwing it at me I ducked. "Give the glory, Parker rise and shine give 'em the glory!" I continued my morning praise and worship when a pillow connected with my head. "Hey!" I picked up my pillow hitting Parker back. "Got you! Smell that." My tummy grumbled.

"Yeah I smell nothing Aunt Cedes not cooking breakfast yet what is the hold up."

"Gateway and his name is Sam." Parker whispered. "Should we go to their room to check in on them or we can just have us a bowl of cereal we can fix that ourselves I did wake up to some screaming in the middle of the night."

"Morning." Mommy was smiling all extra hard her hair going north, south, east, and west she limped in the room. "Babies sleep well?"

"Yes we did, did you?"

"Yes I did thank you for asking me Parker I'm going to go head down to start on breakfast. Good give me a head start it's gonna take me awhile to get down those stairs daddy and I exercised this morning in 10 minutes come on down to the kitchen."

"Okay." I peeked out the room daddy was helping her down the steps. "Exercising yeah right they were jumping up and down on each other the ultimate gateway."

"You all didn't take a shower last night mommy and I had some personal things to discuss ran a little late Parker you can wash up in Alex J's bathroom, JT you can take the one down the hall, TJ here. All hands in on three, 1, 2, 3 break! Go team! Bathe like you never took one before! Run TJ! Run!" Daddy drew my bath I jumped in before he turned off the water. "TJ didn't I tell you to wait the water feels good I'm going to go check on the others by the time I get back you should be done no playing wash."

"I will." I knew daddy would be upset if I just played so I really did wash myself up I got my behind my ears and in my belly button too I let out the water he got me out the tub, dried off got dressed we ate breakfast did some gaming it was off to church. It's been very long time since you all journeyed with me to children's church the first time we all know that we set the place out Ms. Mary who I didn't know at the time was Simon's mommy was slain to the chair because of my foolishness I'm gonna be have this time.

"Parker you ever went to children's church?"

"No I haven't been to church in a long time this is going to be a first in about 2 years."

"Wow! That is a long time we'll show you the ropes they got this thing for kids to keep them out of the sanctuary it's called children's church it's our version of service with fun appeal the last time we went Logan, Ian, Gabby and myself set the place out."

"How?"

"You'll see." We got to church daddy made sure to give each of us offering don't want a slip up of the last time we sort of let out the sanctuary too. "Auntie Mare, I have my offering you don't need to send us out of here to get it."

"Okay, TJ don't mess with Ms. Lewis now I have to go use the restroom be right back, Simon go sit on the mat."

"Who is Ms. Lewis?"

I pointed over my shoulder. "That's Ms. Lewis my first time here she prayed about the sea of Jericho I had to get her in check I said she didn't have no oil on her."

"Yeah Parker she was flowing in the pathetic hi boo long time no see."

"I know Gabby." She hugged me tight. "You can let me go now I'm not going anywhere how is the kitten doing?"

"He's doing good Lord Tubbington is teaching him how to adjust to human food."

"It's a long story." Ms. Lewis tapped me on my shoulder. "Hi Ms. Lewis are you gonna pray this time or are we too afraid I might get you in check."

"You didn't get me in check the first time." I rolled my eyes she turned me around. "Look at you acting all like…."

"Don't worry about how I'm acting I got a mommy and a daddy that keep me in check, you not gonna check me boo anyway. Why you messing with me? My auntie told you to leave me alone you don't follow directions all I'm going to say is this yes, and I'll end it like this is scoot back, scoot back, and a scoot back you can stand right here Parker first we're going to pray, dance, learn about today's lesson and I'm gonna just be me join in with us where you fit in."

"I am back everyone hold hands I'm going to pray Ms. Lewis put your hand down your hand down the lord hasn't let me forget your sea of Jerhico heads bowed eyes closed. Lord bless these children and everyone under the sound of my voice. May they live a life that is blessed and highly favored. God we ask that you would protect them as they live their lives, and that you would give them strength to be a bright light in an ever-darkening world. Amen.

Shane's POV

"Here come this fool just want to get inside eat my food catch the itis. Hey was up! Nice see you."

"I see you went and got you some chickens from KFC I actually prefer Popeye's." See why I called him a fool this food here is for me and my belly. "Anyway some two guys and a lady came by here checking under your car I didn't get a good look at them they didn't stay long the lady had on all black slinging what looked like to be a hatchet."

Some lady I didn't know waved at me here is my moment to get up out this conversation. "Hey! Uh-huh that's my mama I gotta go nice talking to you." I pulled out a $20 "This if for your good deed you go tme from talking to that guy."

"No I don't want your money I was waving at you because this fell off your car when you drove over that speed bump looks like it's a tracking device I'll put it in your bag you have a good one."

"Shane! Shane!" I looked up squinting. "Hurry up here with the damn food I'm hungry shit out there holding convos and shit give me this bag."

"Dude was holding me up then this lady gave me something that's in the bag." I slide her the little block box. "It looks like it might be a tracking device think Tank put one on your your car follow your whereabouts check to make sure you going where you say you going."

"No Tank wouldn't do that or should I say Jackson gotta get used to calling him that he looks better still in shaky territory but each day he lives it's a blessing been thinking about our plan the open house route is too much you have to fill out paperwork and meet people we already know that's the school he attends option number 2 is follow him when we see him take him. What you think?"

"Huh? That works too busy wondering who put this on your car Sam? No he not checking for you like that we did let the PI use your car could be the reason no longer are they tracking us we on easy street now fumble number 2 third time is the charm let us pray, Jesus thank you for Puck dropping his keys and him being a guide to your son Tank we ask that you keep him safe and bring him out of this coma you are Team Tank thank you for keeping us in your name Amen."
