A/N: It's been a minute since I've updated so I decided to crank out a chapter today. So here it is. Enjoy.

Puck's POV

"I don't wanna grow up 'cause maybe if I did I wouldn't be a toys..." I sang looking up at the sign. "Okay that's the wrong tune for this place they don't have no giraffe they got a rat quiet in here now won't be like that for long." No one was standing at the front desk so I wondered into the game floor. "Um excuse me are you the manager?"

"Yes, I'm the manger what can I help you with today? Want to plan a party for your kid? We throw some of the best parties around here just ask any 6 year old you run into."

"I know you do and it's none of that I know you don't get folk in everyday asking you for a favor like this. Um, I want to dress up like your mascot for a day."

He stood there for a few seconds confusion drawn on his face before clearing his throat to speak. "You're right I never heard a request like that before let's go to my office. Here have a seat. Let me make sure I heard you right the first time you want to dress up like my mascot. May I ask why? Why do you want to be my mascot? I already have one that fills the role rather well. Are you into preying on children? Get up out my place!"

"No, no, no, no, no I'm not looking for a job no I have enough money. " I pulled out my wallet handing over my license. "My name is Noah Puckerman from Lima, Ohio I now reside in LA."

"Okay but that still doesn't tell me why you want to dress up as the mascot." He picked his phone. "You have to give me good reason to not call the cops on you."

"I am. Are you by chance familiar with the name TJ Evans? Here is his picture." I slid the photo across the table. "You can search his name on any search site everything I'm going to tell you will come up."

"No need for me to search his name yes I am this is the little boy that was kidnapped from school his family had a huge vigil all over TV I streamed it myself. Donated money and all of that. 6 long months he's been missing."

"Seven but that is why I need your help your place of business has a mascot that mixes and mingles with the kids pose for photos kiss babies and all of that I want to dress up as the mascot I got information that sometime soon he'll be here at Chuck E Cheese and I want to be the one in the costume."

"Sounds like a good idea I never would have that of that myself I'll agree to it." With excitement I jumped out my seat vigorously shaking his hand. "Your welcome, you can stop shaking my hand now." He took his pulse. "Damn near shook it off. If you don't mind me asking. Who is your informant?"

"Umm..."

Flashback...

"Where am I now? You won't believe me when I tell you this but I'm in Lima. Yes! That Lima once I made it here I stopped off and visited my brother I let them get settled in then I made my way to the hotel where I ran into one of my former teammates who works there he told me some guy that fit the description of Tank came there but he wasn't so sure. Yeah maybe he came here because no one would think to look of him there." I was too caught up in my conversation to take notice that Sarah was at my driver's window. "Yeah that's right. Did you hear that? That's right you wouldn't hear that oh shit! What are you doing standing at my window?"

"I've been standing here for 5 minutes knocking are you going to let me in or are you going to have me stand out here in the rain?" I motioned for her to come I unlocked the door. "Thank you shouldn't have had to ask look I know you've been following us. I saw you as we were leaving Baltimore, I spotted you in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago along with all the other stops. Where is Mercedes fine ass cousin J3? Is that who you were talking to on the phone?"

"He left months ago and none of your business. Did Tank send you out here to set me up or are you thinking for yourself for once?"

"No, he doesn't know that I'm out here and I have to be quick before he sees that I'm not in the bathroom I have the light on water running along with some music. The real reason that I'm out here is because I'm ready to give up Tank he's smacked me for the last time."

"Let me get this straight it took Tank smacking you tonight for you to give his ass up. Why not when he took TJ? When he was beating your ass numerous times? What was wrong with your thought process then? Where were your feelings? What did my nephew do to deserve to be kidnapped?"

I rolled my eyes ash she begins to cry with no tears. "Mercedes left him and Sam dropped me. We wanted to get payback so his mother thought of the idea to kidnap TJ. Tank really loves Mercedes and..."

"Don't you dare give me that got damn story about Tank loving Mercedes and he wanted to make her feel how he felt when she left him because I promise you on his dead mother grave she didn't feel the same fucking way so don't give me that sob story."

"Fine I won't." She wiped her dry face of the empty tears that fallen. "But I thought that you should know that Tank is talking about going overseas with TJ if he does that..."

"What?" I locked all of the doors. "Tank can't be thinking that? He went on a cross country tour only t end up in Lima he doesn't have the mental capacity to travel out of the states."

"Okay you got me in one so he didn't say that but I really want this all to end TJ sang "Home" and he just wants to go home also I don't want to be put down as a kidnapper so maybe we can work something out I wouldn't mind testifying against him."

I held out my hand. "Give me your phone." She shrugged. You don't have your phone." I wrote down my number folded the paper. "Here is my number put it under a asterisk so if he goes through your phone he won't know also when you text me delete the conservation after it sends. Don't forget once you put my number in your phone flush it! You have a good night." She disappeared as she rounded the tree I looked down at my phone to see that I was still on the call with J3. "I'm still on the phone with him and he didn't say anything. Hello J3 are you still on the line with me. Hello."

"Yeah man I'm still here."

"Wait! How come I didn't hear you giving commentary when she was in my car?"

"Oh, I went on mute! I didn't want to hang up so yeah I'm glad she finds me sexy but no ma'am I have someone who lights my fire. Anyway I was giving commentary wrote a few down I would ask if you want to hear but you probably don't want to the ideas in your mind are swirling so I'm gonna jump up off this phone and swirl in my girl. Call me back later or drop a text about what you're gonna do."

"Puck what are you gonna do? The ball is in my court. I can call Sam now or wait a few more hours until daybreak. It's 5 o'clock here so it's 2 there. Wait or call? Dammit I'm calling now. Sorry Sam oops sorry Mercedes didn't know you and Sam sound alike this time of morning. Wait! It is Sam sorry forgive me for calling you this late but yeah I know the time difference, just you want to come pick up TJ come home."

"Sam! That is why Puck wants us to come home he has TJ. TJ's coming home! He'll be home before Alex J is born! Aren't you happy?"

"I am baby but Puck didn't say that he said that we need to come home. But he didn't specify what home?"

Uncle Puck called. Where was I? Where is home? I am home. What home is he talking about?

Cinny: Asleep. Hey! Stop poking me.

"...at home? He didn't say where though? He said at home. Mercedes where do you consider home to be?"

"I consider home to be Lima, TJ's in Lima!" *kick* "TJ's in Lima! We have to fly out of here tonight."

"Tonight?!"

*kick* Tonight?! Cinny my first trip! I have to pack!

Cinny: Pack what?! You in the womb!

Stevie's POV

"Wren is asleep drove him around the block 20 times he had me going in circles I noticed on the 4th lap that Mercedes and Sam bedroom light was on then on the next lap all lights. I'm pulling up right now see you shortly." I looked up into the rear-view mirror. "Sleeping baby happy daddy." I whispered. "Hey." Denise met me at the car taking Wren once inside I tossed my keys on the table my phone buzzing in my pocket. "I'll be up in a minute JJ is calling me. Hello."

"What is going on at Sam and Mercedes house? All their lights are on I had to go out to get Stacey a early morning snack and me some Pepto to watch her eat that crap. I want to stop by there but Stacey will feel some kind of way if her food isn't there in a timely matter."

"I feel your pain after you give Stacey her food come on over." I went to end the call my phone rang again. "Quinn no I don't know why Sam and Mercedes lights are on...hold on. Rachel I'm on the other line with Quinn, wait Artie is calling me Artie hold on I have Tana and Brittany on the other line, Mom! Mom just come over. You don't want to come over? You saw me driving Wren around yes ma'am he's sleep they are all fine."

Denise came downstairs tidying up. "Who are you on the phone with?" She mouthed. "JJ?" I shook my head. "Quinn?" I shook my head again a faint knock is heard at the door. "Who is visiting us a this hour? Quinn, Rachel, Brittany, Artie? What? Conniehey! Ahhhhh! Stevie get that furry beast!"

"Mom I gotta go we're good. Bye! CONNIEHEY SIT! Good boy! Denise I have Conniehey secure it's good for you to come down. I promise Artie call Conniehey."

Arf

"Conniehey over here there you go. Denise you can walk by. Good boy good boy. Who told you to come over here? Huh?"

I kissed Denise on the cheek. "Just hold my hand you're gonna be okay I got you. Is everyone here? Looks like it. We're all gathered here as you all you know every single light in their house is on even in TJ's room they haven't been in there for some months. "

"Think someone broke in. I called Mercedes phone but it went right to voice-mail."

"That doesn't mean someone broke in Brittany." JJ said gulping down his pepto. "They have Azimio and Ray near if someone broke in we'd heard something by now. We should all just go over there and check Denise mother is here she can watch the kids. Come on."

Sam's POV

"Mercedes are you about ready we have to get going before anyone figures that we are trying to head on out without them knowing." I opened the blinds looking up and down the street. "We're good. Got what you needed?"

"Yes!" She showed me the fax dancing. "He thought I was in labor since I called him at this hour told him nope I need your permission to fly."

"Fly?" The group of family and friends singsong as they crowded the doorway. "Fly. Where are you two off to? Got bags packed. What is this paper for?"

"My permission to fly give me that back." She snatched the paper from JJ. "What are you all doing up at this hour?"

"We went for a family walk." Stevie pushed Artie across the room. "I mean stroll for me they walked. Hehehe. Ow. That wasn't necessary! Real reason we're up is because we're all wondering why every single light in your house was on."

"How?"

They all pointed to Stevie. "I was out driving Wren around to get him to sleep I would have stopped. Did you all get any news on TJ? It has been seven months did Puck so happen by chance call with good news."

"Good news." An involuntary smile formed on my face. "Puck called a half hour ago to inform us to come home. Home."

Santana snapped her fingers standing up. "TJ is in Lima!" Everyone turned around and looked at her in surprise. "Am I right? He's in Lima."

"Y-Yeah he is so..."

"Hold up you're not going back to Lima without us! Besides is it safe for Mercedes to travel? I read that women can't travel if there over 36 without a note from their doctors."

"I'm only 34 weeks so I'm good also got a letter from my doctor saying it was safe for me to fly and even if it wasn't safe I was going to find someway somehow to get to my son. This baby isn't stopping me."

"Okay but we're all coming so you might want to hold of on this little departure everyone home to pack make it quick! TJ is coming home!"

"YES! JT is going to be so happy I'm going home right now to pack our bags." Stevie cleared his throat. "Baby drink you some water to clear that up."

"No I'm perfectly fine where do you think you are going? We not going to Lima we're staying here until they get back. You just had triplets!" Denise kicked our her leg pointing to the door. "Baby you stay here and I'll pack for you, myself, JT, and the triplets."

"That's what I thought!"

A few hours later Lima, Ohio

Puck's POV

"Puck you know Mercedes and Sam are gone. I went to see if Santana, Brittany, Artie, Quinn, or Rachel had known anything and they are gone too. Wonder where they could be?"

"Yeah I know that they are gone I called them early this morning they arrived a few hours ago going out to their house to talk to them. Why don't you just go over to Quinn, Rachel, Artie or Stevie house? What you mean they not there?! Are your aunt and uncle there?" I pulled up to the house turned off the engine a child ran by me. "I know where they are. HERE!"

"Uncle Puck! Logan and Ian it's Uncle Puck!" She hugged me around my knees. "We missed you! Now to the important stuff, where is my boo TJ?!"

"TJ is still with Tank, shouldn't y'all still be in school?"

"No Uncle Puck you are looking at a kindergarten graduate of 2020 I'm going to the first grade in the fall so is Ian barely!"

"That is nice Gabby I'm sorry I missed your graduation I'll have to get you something. Ian put down that fist I'll get you something too."

"Cash still works also I lost a front tooth." Gabby smiled a snaggle-tooth smile. "I got $5 and a box of matches mommy said I can put them to get use one day and I feel that its' coming soon."

"That Santana you all play nicely I'm going on inside now." I knocked on the door. "Hello!"

"PUCK!" They screamed puling me in a hug. "Puck so nice to see you. You picked up some weight. I see you got a chin strap going there. I like it. Have a seat man tell us about everything. Like who is your informant? This is the first or second time you hit them up since you left last year."

"Right, right." I scratched my head. "Earlier this morning we had a break I was outside of the hotel on the phone with J3 when someone approached my window it was Sarah, s-s-she's my informant."

"Sarah?! Come on Puck you know better? It's Sarah! Are you sure she isn't setting you up? I don't trust her."

"Me either." Denise chimed in. "She's so evil and brainwashed by skank i mean rank dang I mean Tank."

"What is Denise doing here? Didn't you just have triplets?"

"Mccuse me, its my body and I know what to do with it. Just worry about your own hole and let me worry about mine. Stevie come on in here with my babies I need to sniff one of them."

"Did she just say Mccuse me? Look that is my exit!
