Mercedes POV

"You think you're going to run up out of this house without telling me everything do not worry about Sam I'll deal with him later! Before you talk let me get my son away from this door because I know he's right here listening in." I opened the door TJ's shadow disappeared around the corner. "Thaddeus Joshua Evans you better run." Out the corner of my eye Santana was tip toeing extra hard I cleared my throat folding my arms. "Where do you think you are going?"

"I was j-just going to get us something to drink yeah that's where I was going. Why you ask me that?"

"Well the reason I asked that question because I told you not to go anywhere here you are trying to sneak up out my house after I told you to stay put!"

"Hello. Hello. Hello. Hi Santana." Mom gave her a hug. "Mercedes baby what are you up in here yelling about I heard you all the way down to the driveway what's going on? Hi Alex J you got mommy feeling some kind of way?"

Alex J: Not as much as daddy does in the words of Shaggy it wasn't me. *kick kick*

"Mom now is not the time can you please take the brownies out the oven smells like they are about to burn Santana Santana!" She slammed the door. "See what you did? Santana! How could you tell me this and run off! See what you did mom."

"Mercedes close the door and stop yelling like a wild woman probably got your neighbors wanting to know all your business. Now what was all of this about? Don't you roll your eyes at me! What you mean see what I did? I haven't done anything but show up at your house to come visit you."

"And that is all you had to do you have perfect timing of the wrong time I didn't even know you were here until Santana told me you were. Mom why are you here?"

"Like I said I came to visit you to see how you and TJ are faring with Sam being gone and this is the reaction I get I'm going back home to where I can get better treatment than this."

"Sam has only been gone only a couple of hours you could have picked up your phone to call Santana and I were having a discussion about something that I'm just now finding out do you know about this you probably don't but then again you might not know brownies look good let them cool then into freezer."

"Why are you putting them in the freezer cut them up right now?" Grabbing the knife I waved it in her direction. "Okay don't cut them Mercedes I know that I'm overbearing and I put my nose in places it don't belong like I did with your diary but I'm your mother I care about you what's wrong."

"Mom can you please go home give me some time to myself once I get to where I want to be I'll tell you later. Thank you for checking up on us. Sorry about me zapping off its just Alex J."

Alex J: It's not me! Mommy why you lying mmm oh my zzzzzz.

J3 walked into the family room talking on his phone. "Yeah, uh-huh I know right wasn't that funny I told it would be." I waved at him he continued talking. "True you want to go out Friday night yeah."

"J3. J3! JULIUS!"

"Damn Mercedes why in the hell are you screaming give me my phone back what…"

"Tamara, Julius will call you back I need to talk to him." He held out his hand I slapped it. "You aren't getting it back until you tell me when did Tank get out."

"Sam told you."

"Does my face look like he told me? Would I be acting like this if he told me!" He jumped. "He didn't tell me anything I had to find out from Santana I should not be hearing firsthand news from a source of a source! Do me a huge favor gather up my brother, Stevie, and Puck, right now!"

"I'm sorry just that it shouldn't have found out from me or Santana I'm going…." We heard voices Denise laughing, Puck and Stevie were talking to each other. "Do they have perfect timing or what?"

"Hey Mercedes!" Denise hugged me I didn't hug back I could feel my face beginning to scowl. "Girl what's your problem. Did we come at the wrong time? See Stevie I told we should have called first."

I cracked my neck and knuckles. "No you didn't come at the wrong time is there anything that you would like to share with me. Don't you all speak at once." Puck raised his hand. "Yes Puck."

"Do I need to stand up to speak or I can stay seated." I shrugged my shoulders. "Okay that doesn't answer my question but my question to you is why are you so snappy? You're quick is this a mood swing."

"Oh no you wish that this was a mood swing this isn't Puck how is Tank." I stared at Puck and he shifted in his seat. "Why are you shifting in your chair? You do have him right? Right Noah."

"You know I don't like being called Noah."

"At this moment I don't give a good got damn about what you do and don't like being called I hate being lied to and you lied to me." I jabbed my finger in his shoulder. "When did Tank get out?"

Puck let out a loud sigh he reached in his pocket dropping his keys on the counter. "The night that Parker was over here was it Thursday or Friday it was Friday because Saturday you guys went to Chuck E Cheese that was the night he escaped by me being clumsy I dropped my key that's it I didn't look down."

"How can he escape if Tank is locked up? He was free to walk around."

"No he wasn't that's because he forgot a part remember you told us that on your way there you ran into Shane and Sarah. They followed Puck to his lockup spot. Mercedes he didn't know at the time it's not like he said here follow me I'll show you where I got him out it was unlucky circumstances they crossed paths."

"Yeah we tried to find him but it was no such luck because the device Puck put on his car isn't there we even called hospitals in the area no one matching his description is in any of their beds. Has he called your phone? No your other phone."

"No I haven't charged that phone in weeks it's somewhere around here, what is this device you speak of?"

"It's a tracking device gives you all of their stops, speed, the time it was awesome although it's no longer in use I still have the information logged on my computer. I told Sam to tell you before he left I told him Sunday."

"Yeah he's right sis you may be upset with us I know deep down inside you're upset with him more." Stevie kissed my cheek. "Come on crack us a smile come on, come on." He poked my side. "There it goes! Whew! Took a little hand action wait that didn't come out right you know what I meant. You guys want a drink. Mercedes sit down I got this where is TJ? TJ!"

"He's off somewhere hiding praying he won't get a part 2 he was listening to Aunt Tana and me J3 here is your phone J3 tell Tamara that I would love to speak with her on Monday before the start of the school day."

"For sure you guys have a good one call I'm going to call my baby tell her to get ready for the wrath of Mercedes had my heart going a mile a minute don't want her to be shook before I dip let me get one of those brownies just how I like them cold."

"Was I that bad?" They all kissed their teeth. "I was!"

"If you were going to ask me a question I was going to plead the fifth and ask for a lawyer you were a lawyer in a fic on here. Yeah I remember that one you lost your case to Sam."

"Don't tell me about it I just want to read it for myself I knew I heard movement Conniehey where is your little owner."

Arf [He up in the closet! TJ is hiding in up in the closet! Hey Denise I would rub against you but I'll just wait for you to be slain to the floor so I can make my move.]

"Mommy is the brownies done? Hi Aunt Denise, Uncle Puck, and Uncle Stevie." Stevie slid him a brownie with a cup of milk. "Thank you mommy this is really good better than granny."

"She better not hear you say that. Sis we're going to head on out TJ you are the little man of the house protect your mommy and sister Alex J call me if you need anything."

"I got you Uncle Stevie mommy I'm going to walk them to the door like daddy does be right back. It was nice of you to come on by to check on us we'll be by for dinner on Tuesday daddy doesn't say this I do tell my boo I can't wait to see her on Tuesday."

"We will. Sweet dreams TJ. Night Mercedes."

"Good Night. TJ finish your snack so we can go night night and you can tell me about your dream you had in school on Monday."

"I don't want to tell you about it; it wasn't that bad I just dreamed about Tank he tried to kidnap me but I broke away from him. Are you going to get daddy in check because he lied to you about Tank?"

"M-R-S S-A-M-U-E-L T-H-A-D-E-U-S E-V-A-N-S."

"That's a new ringtone when did you and daddy to record that one? What? It's a legit question. I'm sorry. I'm just going to sit here and finish my brownie."

Alex J: Damn it! Daddy got one in on me I knew I heard Cinny saying "do it again". *kick kick* She tried to put my little fetus life in danger.

"Hi baby we made it here safe. How are you doing? How are the kids? Why are you looking at me like that? What did I do wrong?"

"Sam you know good and well what you did wrong and to refresh your memory I'm going to say his little 4 letter name. Tank!" His face flushed his eyes grew serious. "What do you have to say for yourself?"

"Damn Puck."

"It wasn't Puck, Stevie, JJ, or Denise it was Santana! Why couldn't I hear this information from my husband? I'm walking around here thinking everything is fine and dandy but you know the truth. I'm highly disappointed in you."

"Baby I'm sorry I wanted to tell you but I couldn't because of this trip of which I just found out is only a week we're coming home on Tuesday. Yes I'll be back home I'll sleep on the couch if you need me trust me when I say this I was going to tell you I really was just that the moments were never right either you were talking about your luncheon or talking about Alex J and her upcoming birth didn't want to bring down the mood."

"I know still would have like to known before you left can't change it I know on his first day back TJ had a dream at nap time I didn't find out until today I'm having a talk with Ms. Toles on Monday in the event of another one she knows to contact me."

"Of course! He should have told her."

"TJ isn't going to tell her he didn't even tell us about his very first dream he drew a picture remember."

"Yeah, he did. Baby it's late here I'm sleepy I'll call you tomorrow. 143."

"143."

Tuesday….

TJ's POV

Mommy was running around the house with her head cut off see mommy woke up to wake me up then she got back in bed going back to sleep so we're rushing. "TJ have you seen mommy's music book? I placed it right here and it's gone can you help me look for it."

"Sure mommy." I got on my knees pulling it from under the couch. "Here you go, you kicked it under there by mistake when you were changing from your house shoes."

"Whew! Thank you baby I got your things. Ray is in the car waiting on us. Let me fix your tie." She fixed my tie as we walked to the car we arrived at the school mommy went over the rules again with me. "You remember that you aren't supposed to leave the school until someone comes and gets you right and daddy is picking you up today or me depending on what time his flight land."

"Okay. Mommy I have a question to ask you, mommy am I coming home?"

"Thaddeus what kind of question is that? Don't you always come home?" I nodded my head. "Well that is your answer right there. Let's go we're late. Give me my hug and kiss now Azimio is going to walk to your class. Remember you don't leave the school until someone comes get you."

"I know. Stay put. I love you mommy."

"I love you too baby give me another kiss. You have a good day at school."

End of the school day….

"TJ stay right here okay no one is out in the hallway to meet you I'm going across the hall to get something from Ms. Foster okay."

"Yes Ms. Toles."

"I'm ready to go home to hear about his trip. I'm leaving daddy or mommy might be outside waiting for me anyway. I got my book bag, my snack, I'm good. Ms. Toles." I knocked on the door. "I'm leaving I'll be outside if you're looking for me."

"Get 'em!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Sam's POV

"Got his Happy Meal now to pick up my son." Turning the corner this I had to pull to the side "Damn! That car is speeding this is a school zone and this is a one way street! What kind of maniac is that? Ms. Toles is calling me. I'll be there soon. What?! What you mean TJ isn't there?! Just call the cops! I'll be there." I didn't stop at no stop signs I went sped through red lights. "Jesus let TJ be hiding in the school please, please."

"Sam he's gone! TJ's gone!"
