Shane's POV
"Yo! That cop is such a dumb ass fuck why going to say that we could be dead ringers for the guys we are the guys! Here I am just out and about and shit look no one is going to find me." Sarah hugged Tank from behind he leaned down kissing her. "Bae you won't believe what happened to us while we were out getting something to eat."
"What baby? Someone recognized you, keep your voice down TJ "Jackson", and is asleep."
"Nah, Sarah we got pulled over by the cops it wasn't on suspicion or anything like that I was just speeding so I got a ticket but get this the cop said that we could be "dead ringers" for the guys that kidnapped TJ. Yeah the way you look was me when he let us go." Sarah ran off to the bedroom. "What the fuck is her problem? Shit we didn't get caught."
"I know. I know anyway I was thinking Maybe heading on down into Texas for a few days then on over to New Orleans then finally off to Maryland. What you think?"
"No, I think it's rather stupid listen we already dodge one officer who is to say that it's going to happen again, we go straight to Maryland lay low for a week slowly merge ourselves in the neighborhood and it's smooth sailing. The only issue we'll probably have is TJ."
"What about me?" He asked wiping his eyes I opened my arms for TJ to sit on his lap he walked on by sitting on the couch. "Afraid someone is going to notice me and call my mommy."
"Stop asking about that bitch! She's the reason your ass got beat today had you not called her ass I wouldn't have laid my hands on you. You so got damn hard headed! Here I am trying to bond with your ass and all you can think about is them! Fuck them! They don't love you! What kind of mother is she to take you away from me?! Huh? Her ass upped and left in the middle of the night I wake up all my shit is gone and you, you are my prized possession. You better not cry, stop quivering your got damn lip shit weak as motherfucker. Sarah get your ass out here we going for a walk, hurry up! When I come back I better not see a tear in your damn eye and they better not be red."
"Don't cry TJ it'll get better in a few weeks I promise you. Hey how about we watch a cartoon. What is your favorite cartoon?"
"Shane I don't want to watch a cartoon with you I want to go home, why would you take me away from my mommy and daddy to come with you fools? Do you not care about their feelings? Every night I say my prayers in hopes of being returned to them you weren't here when Tank beat me he didn't even hang up the phone it's like he wanted mommy to hear me cry and she couldn't do anything, he laughed h-he laughed then he continued on to talk about my daddy calling him some bad words I can't say. I want to go home all the people who love me and none of you here love me I know it."
"TJ we all love you here. You don't feel the love, what are you doing with this phone?" He opened my hand closing it over the receiver. "What you want me to do with this?"
"Call my mommy please. Her number is 3...um…." TJ reached over me dialing her number. "It's ringing." I hung it up before someone answered. "Why did you hang up it up?" Tank walked up behind TJ chuckling. "No…don't. Put me down! Don't." TJ kicked and screamed as Tank dragged him to the bathroom he turned on the water in the shower to muffle TJ's screams. "STOP!"
"Didn't I tell you the first time to not reach out to them?! Stop disobeying me and I wouldn't have to do this your ass is hardheaded! No Sarah keep your ass out this I just between me and my son."
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Don't!"
Sam's POV
Cameras stop rolling, questions stopped being asked, the large crowd of reporters slowly trickled to none there I was alone with the game ball, TJ's ball I didn't even hear the footprints of the person who tapped me on my shoulder causing me to jump. "Sam."
"Hey! You scared me thought I was here alone I'm not. Why are you still here? You'd be gone by now."
"I know I stayed back because I wanted to talk to you but I had to wait for everyone to get through interviewing you. How are you doing? Have you and Mercedes hired someone to pinpoint TJ's location?"
"I'm doing as good as I can be we're only 4 days in and it feels like the first day. We're working with local police they appointed a detective he's doing okay look it's late if you want to talk to me we can walk and talk, maybe I should hire you to find Puck ever since TJ's been missing no one's seen him. He blames himself I told him it's okay I don't blame him he didn't respond back to my text I know he read it, it says read with the time. Look I know you stepped off the case once Tank found you out but I'd really like for you to come back to help us. Please just we need constant updates we got one since and that was a video calls haven't been coming in and all the leads have gone cold. You can come by the house probably tomorrow if that's good with you."
"It's fine with me, tomorrow say 5 o'clock."
I shook his hand. "Tomorrow at 5 it is you have a good drive home." The ride home was quick I pulled up in the driveway and there was Puck looking at the sky talking to himself. "What is he saying? Hey bro. When did Puck show up and what is he saying?"
"Puck arrived here around halftime and he's saying, "I should have waited. I should have waited. If only had I waited he was right there. Why did I leave? Why did I leave?" Sam, Puck was inches away from coming in contact with TJ he went by the house." I turned around yanking Puck inside. "I heard TJ. TJ called home."
"Mercedes!" I shouted running up the steps. "Mercedes did you know that TJ called home. Did you talk to him? Please say you did. Where is he? Did he FaceTime you? Tell me. Tell me." She grabbed my hand patting the bed. "What? I don't want to sit down. Did you record it? Sorry about those questions first, not asking about you, how are you?" I kissed her cheek. "Mercy, come on tell me bad or good I need to know." I hugged and held her in my arms while she cried exhausted from all that crying she fell asleep I laid her back, kissed her stomach Alex J kicked, pulled the covers over her quietly I closed the door, Stevie was waiting for me at the top of the stairs he followed me down to the kitchen JJ spoke I waved downing my drink JJ nudge Stevie, Stevie nudge him back. "Hey. Hey enough of the hitting the only hitting that we should be doing is not on each other but him. Mercedes didn't tell me what happened when TJ called she cried truth be told I wouldn't tell me either because I don't know what I would do if she would have told me that Tank hit TJ and he was crying out for either her or me. Stevie tell me about the call."
"Well, I was coming into the kitchen to get me something to drink when I heard TJ's voice when I got in here Mercedes was sitting right there crying with the phone in her hand Tank was yelling at TJ saying I didn't hit you that hard I didn't leave a mark we had some words he said bang bang to me hanging up the phone. Tank wanted Mercedes to hear her baby cry out for her and she couldn't do anything to help him. That was the most helpless I felt in a long time. I overheard your questions no he didn't FaceTime, he didn't say where he was at, she didn't record it."
"Actually it was recorded."
Monday….
TJ's POV
Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life Tank beat me because of me disobeying his rules that he laid down one don't talk about my previous family, two don't reach out to them and three don't ask to go home because I'm never going back home and with that he's happy I'm sad I just wanted mommy to know that I was okay because he's not going to tell her he just wants want to hurt her like he said she hurt him and he succeeded. "That takes me back to the time when TJ fell off his bike she came and rescued him but yesterday when I beat TJ she was yelling at me to stop and thing is she couldn't do shit about it! It was the most hilarious thing. Y'all should have been here." I wish he would shut up. "Yeah, yeah just like that." I turned up the volume on the television to drown them out. "TJ turn that shit down it's so fucking loud I can't hear myself think or talk. Wait don't not yet."
"Bombshell breaking news into this case the abduction of little Thaddeus Joshua Evans on yesterday he called home and this is what he told his mother let's listen in."
"Hello Evans Residence."
"That's Mercedes answering the phone."
"Hi mommy."
"Awww that's TJ you can hear that filthy disgusting piece of let me be quiet so you can hear it."
"Where is Jackson? I know he was around here. Jackson."
"TJ my baby, where are you so daddy, Uncle Stevie, Uncle Puck, and Uncle JJ can come get you!"
"Mommy I don't know when I woke up this morning we were here I wanna come home I miss you and daddy."
"Baby I miss you we're going to get you back understand oh look at you just want to reach right through this phone and pull you back here."
"TJ, who the fuck is you talking to?"
"Are you talking to that bitch Mercedes? Huh? How did you get my phone? Hello. Hi bitch you called my phone? Oh you don't have shit to say but let me talk to TJ, TJ don't want to be talking to you! Oh I got my son now you want to call my phone but when I was calling you, you wouldn't give me the time of today. I don't want to hear your bullshit ass response don't call my phone no damn more. TJ tell your mommy goodbye for good. Take your thumb out your mouth stop acting a like a whinny ass baby."
"Don't talk to him like that! Stop cussing at my son! Tank why are you doing this to him and me?! Bring my son home!"
"Fuck no! TJ tell mommy bye."
"Don't hit him Tank! Leave him alone!"
"Shut the fuck up! He's in my care!"
"MOMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY HELP MEEEEEEE! NOOOO! I WANT MY DADDY! I WANT MY MOMMY! STOP! STOP! STOP YOU'RE HURTING ME!"
"They fucking recorded it! Shane! Sarah! Jackson pack up we're leaving! Now! Don't even ask me a question. Pack everything leave not one trace of us they're onto us. Move it! Move it! Just toss that stuff in the car."
"Ugh that is just heartbreaking my…." Nancy wiped her tears. "How could you do that to a little baby he's beating someone who can't fight back he's a sorry excuse for a man he's just a kid! Out to…."
"Yes, Nancy we just got finished with a press conference held by the family where they were contacted by Neveda police of sighting of Tank and Shane but the police officer who pulled them over let them go. The captain played the video for all of the reporters and we couldn't believe what he did next, he let them go. Yes, Nancy you heard me right he let them go, he said and I quote, "you two could be dead ringers for those guys", he has since been released of all duties we reached out to the officer but he was not available for a comment we looked into his background and come to find out he is related to Tank."
"Unbelievable he acted like he didn't know them to let them off Scott-free I wonder if he knew about this all along someone needs to put him behind bars and interrogate the mess out of him. He should be a shame of himself. I'm glad they relieved him of his duties he is not fit to serve or protect. Did they arrest him?"
"That dude cop was your cousin!"
