Chapter 20
Jared groaned when he tried to open his eyes and quickly decided that was a bad idea. Keeping his eyes shut tight for a few more seconds, he gingerly lifted a weak hand to his head and tried to sit up in the bed. Keeping his eyes shut, he leaned against the pillow propped behind him and massaged his temples trying to remember what the fuck he had drank to have him feeling like he had been run over by a truck.
Wait.....he didn’t drink, well not that much anyway. Groaning out loud again, he tilted his head back and tried again to open his eyes, slowly this time and he gasped as the room came slowly into focus.
This wasn’t his room.
This wasn’t his bed.
What the fuck?
All of a sudden memories rushed back into his drugged brain and he scrambled back on weakened arms, as he remembered going for a run. He had been having fun texting Jensen, and had been giggling like a child at his smart replies...he remembered telling him he was headed for a run and leaving the phone on the table in the hall after putting on his favourite old sweats and a ragged T shirt.
He reached up with shaking hands and rubbed his temples harder as he recalled coming back and seeing the front door hanging on its hinges. He recalled the fear and the urge to run, he remembered telling himself he couldn’t run his whole life and whoever it was that had broken in, was probably long gone.
He hadn’t gotten further than just inside the front door when he had been approached from all sides and grabbed and held down. His eyes widened with panic as his memories came clear and he recalled the face of the man he had been hiding from for months.
Robert!
“Hello Jared my pet. I’ve been looking for you. I’ve missed you sweetheart; it’s time to come home now.”
He had struggled violently before a back hand across his face had left him dazed for a second and then his arm had been pulled out and a needle pinched his skin. The last thing he saw as his world turned black was Robert’s huge hand moving to caress his face almost lovingly.
*****************
A hand touching his face in a loving caress jerked Jared awake. He moaned softly, his neck stiff from the position he had fallen asleep in again. God what had they injected him with? He felt dizzy and lightheaded, groggy and weak. His mouth was dry and he licked dry cracked lips in an unconscious effort to moisten them and he felt a glass held against his lips and without thinking he drank greedily for a few seconds before he realised what he was doing and struggling weakly, pushed the hand away.
“No.”
“It’s ok sweetheart, it’s just water ok? It’s nothing but water, drink.”
Again the glass was held to his lips and he drank some more before it was taken away.
“You’re gonna feel out of it for a while but it won’t last, sleep and when you wake you will feel better and we can talk.”
“No...No talking...get away from me....just stay away from me.”
“You will feel better when you have had a chance to sleep this off, I’m sorry I had to drug you, but it was necessary.”
The large hand again caressed his face and Jared jerked his head to the side, away from his touch.
“Robert please...just let me go....this is crazy, it’s kidnapping....” His voice was weak and tired and Robert smiled fondly.
“Sleep now; we have all the time in the world Jared. No one is going to find you here, we have all the time in the world, I have waited this long, I can wait a little longer.”
***********************
Over the next several hours, Jared continued to drift in and out. He seemed to be floating in a haze and no matter how much he fought to free himself of it, everything remained foggy and his body limp and weak. He caught snatches of conversations at times when there was more than Robert in the room and he caught enough to know that Robert wasn’t pleased;
“.......wanted him calm not fucking comatose......lower the damn dose.......”
“...too much...dangerous.....body won’t be able to take so much....”
“............just lower the fucking dosage......I know what I’m doing....enough to keep him from fighting”
**************************
This wasn’t happening, it just was not possible, he was dreaming. Jensen looked around the ransacked downstairs in a daze. Nothing had been left unturned, opened, thrown around or smashed. The sheriff had left a few minutes before and he had Sophia take his mother to the airport. She was upset and worried but Jensen had reassured her it was probably a misunderstanding and Jared would show up anytime now. He had told her there was nothing for her to do but go home and he would call her as soon as he knew anything. He had kissed her goodbye and sent her home....all on complete auto pilot.
He had waited until she had left before sinking to his knees in the middle of the sitting room floor, looking around him and not being able to comprehend what was happening. Jared had told him, warned him about this Robert guy. Hell Chad was standing there looking at him now, battered and bruised, living proof of the kind of guy that had Jared. Jared. Jesus.....it had to be a joke....it fucking had to be a seriously bad fucking joke, cause this kind of thing only happens in movies, not to him, not here and please God not now, not when he and Jared were finally going somewhere. Jared was happy this morning, smiling and loving and he should never have left him alone, never.
“Jensen. Jensen, come on dude, you’re freaking me out. Jensen!”
Jensen turned his head slowly, and Chris’ anxious face swam into focus and he blinked.
“Chris. Look at this place. Jesus Chris....he got him...he....Jesus Chris what do we do? He found him and.....he came here to hide, to feel safe.....and....fuck Chris, all I did was hand him over on a fucking platter.....should have left him alone....god I should never have come back here, he was better off alone, he has him now and it’s all my fault.....”
“Jensen, you have got to tell me what’s going on? Who did this? Where is Jared? And who the fuck is that guy?”
Chad moved for the first time since Jensen had sunk to his knees and came to kneel beside Chris, facing Jensen, “Look I know you’re in shock man, but we don’t have time. Can we freak out on the way back? We have got to, the longer he has Jared......please Jensen....please get up.....we have to get him back!”
Chris looked away from Jensen and studied Chad carefully, “Ok.....will someone please fucking explain what the hell is going on! I got a fucking phone call from Catherine telling me to get my ass back here and this is what I find!”
Jensen moved so suddenly that Chris fell back on his ass, shooting to his feet he looked around for his keys. “Where are my goddamn keys? Chad is right, we have to go....”
“Go where? Jensen I swear to Christ if you don’t fucking explain what the hell has gone on....”
“We don’t have time for a fucking chat Chris! Just.....get in the goddamn car and I will explain on the way, but we have got to get back to L.A. right now! Shit where are my keys!”
Steve stepped forward then, Jensen’s keys dangling in one hand, his cell phone in the other. “I have Jensen, and I’ve just spoken to Soph and you’re not driving anywhere....”
“Like hell I’m not!”
“No, you’re not! You’re in no fit state to drive man! You would get yourself killed and be of absolutely no use to Jared! I will drive; we will take my truck back up, come on.”
Chris wasted no time waiting; once Steve had stared up the truck and taken off he rounded on Jensen immediately and demanded answers.
“Ok, what the hell happened back there Jensen?”
Jensen rubbed his forehead wearily and told Chris everything he knew. From the time he had left that morning until that point.
“It was David, Chris he sold Jared out to a fucking lunatic, Jared would be fucking safe now if it weren’t for my stupid selfish plan to try and win David back....he would never have known about Jared if I hadn’t......”
“Jensen that’s stupid talk and you know it....chances are this guy would have found Jared eventually anyway.....David just moved things along faster is all....” He turned to Chad then, “So you’re Chad huh? Jared’s friend?”
“I’m his family; I’m the only family he has ever known.”
Chris nodded, “Look I’m sorry, I know this is something you don’t want to think abut right now but...what is this Robert guy gonna do with Jared? How long has he been gone now? What are the chances that he hasn’t already done whatever it is he was going to do anyway? Hell I don’t even know what Jared did to piss him off!”
Jensen had paled at Chris words and Chad moved forward in the seat as Steve drove the truck as quickly as he possibly could toward the city. “Jared did nothing to piss this guy off, you hear me? Nothing! Jared just.....Robert wants him alright? He fucking wants him, has done for a long time and he always gets what he wants and Jared wasn’t interested, so it made him want him more....”
Chris swore and stared at Chad with wide eyes “Jesus Christ....what’s he going to do with him? What if it’s too late already? What will he do with him once he is done with him?”
Jensen made a choking noise but Chad ignored him, this wasn’t pleasant to talk about but these guys had to know how urgent this was, just how much Jared stood to lose. “He will fuck him, he will fuck him in every way he can and then he will pimp him out. Believe me, before he is done with Jared, Jared is going to wish he had ended up at the bottom of the river and not.....” He rubbed his hands over his face and finally looked at Jensen “I’m sorry, I’m sorry you’ve been dragged into this, and I’m fucking sorry that I couldn’t do more to protect Jared. I never wanted any of this for him. He doesn’t deserve this, he deserves to feel some happiness, not this.....the only thing I can think of is.....Jared became Robert’s obsession when he ran; I think he might even care about him in his own twisted way. Maybe he won’t hurt him just yet....we could still have time.”
“Do you know where he might take him?” This came from Steve who had been silent until now, but his blue eyes pierced Chad’s as he assessed him.
“No. But at least I can get back in. Keep my ear to the ground.....it shouldn’t be too hard to find out, Robert will be fucking ecstatic to have finally gotten him, he is bound to slip up. He has to.....I’m not leaving Jared with him....We can’t wait for the cops to investigate this.....we have to do this ourselves ok? You guys, you can help me now right? We get Jared out.....” He turned to Jensen and looked at him with pleading eyes “I know you have feelings for him, please....don’t abandon him....if Robert has....I beg of you please, please don’t walk away. He will need you.”
Jensen’s eyes blazed as he stared back into frightened but determined blue eyes, “Chad you don’t know me yet so I’m gonna excuse that. What Jared and I had going, it was....it is special, it could mean everything....to us both....I don’t care how we get him back and I don’t care what state he is in, I just want him back.”
Chad nodded and some of the tenseness eased from his features. “Ok, so we get back and you just drop me off well away from your place, give me a few hours, and I will come find you when I know something. We can go from there ok?”
“How will you know where to find me?”
Chad smiled, “I know where you live Jensen, I followed you one time. Once I knew you were involved with Jared I made it my business to know. Just in case.....”
Silence reigned after that, and uneasy tense silence in which all four men contemplated what lay ahead and when the lights of the city hit them a of couple hours later, none of them felt any joy or excitement. Just fear and trepidation and whole hell of a lot of anger.
After dropping Chad off with a few hundred dollars in his pocket to explain his absence, they headed straight for Jensen’s apartment. Chris waited until Steve and Jensen had excited the truck before asking for the keys again. Steve turned to him with a question on his lips but the angry set look on Chris’ face told him exactly where he was headed.
Jensen made to sit back in but was held back by Steve’s hand on his shoulder, and Chris nodded at Jensen once “I got this Jensen. You stay out of this and stay with Steve in case Chad gets back sooner. Me and David are long overdue this conversation.”
***************************
David Boreanaz let himself into his plush apartment, throwing his keys and briefcase on the hall table without a second glance. He needed a drink, it had been a long fucking day and the activities of the night before hadn’t helped. He smiled to himself as he thought back as he flicked on the tall lamp in one corner of his sitting room and headed for the drinks cabinet, pouring himself a stiff one. He turned with his glass already raised to his mouth and gasped in shock at the shadowy figure sitting comfortable in the overstuffed chair. Throwing back the drink in his hand, Chris rose at a leisurely pace and came to stand in front of David.
He smiled and tilted his head, took the untouched glass from David’s numb fingers and polished off the drink in that glass too. Reaching around David he placed the glass on the cabinet behind him before facing a now visibly panicked David. Chris smiled again and tutted softly as he reached out and picked at an imaginary piece of flint on the other mans jacket,
“You know, I had it all planned out.....what I was going to say to you.....how I was going to make you understand just how monumentally stupid you were.....just how fucking incredibly dumb it was to do what you did but.....” He sighed and tilted his head again “I honestly don’t think you will ever understand, so....the only thing I can do, to express my utter contempt for your sad and sorry ass is this....”
David didn’t stand a chance of dodging the fist that flew, or the many that followed after.
As Chris walked out of the apartment building some twenty odd minutes later, his knuckles bruised and bloody, a satisfied smirk on his face, he dialled 911.....
“Hello, I think my friend needs a doctor.....yeah...he fell down the stairs.....banged himself up pretty bad.......no I don’t think he will be able to walk to a car......think he may have broken a couple bones in his leg too.....”
*******************
Someone was kissing his neck a mouth was moving steadily, licking and sucking and a tongue dipped into his parted drugged lips and back down over his neck again, nipping and biting as they travelled. He groaned deep in his throat and tried to push them off. It felt wrong, those lips didn’t belong to Jensen.....no.....god please no.....Hands roamed over firm chest muscles and a flat stomach, easily pushing the ragged sweatpants he wore down and cupping his flaccid cock and squeezing lightly as lips wandered back toward his mouth. He struggled to push harder but all he managed was a weak shove that made the other man chuckle.
“No....no....please no.....not this.....God......not.....no!”
His breath was hot and wet at his ear as the man chuckled low and dirty and squeezed some more, dragging a grunt of pain from Jared’s lips, “Robert can’t bring you here and expect me to stay away can he? Just one time Jared, just once and he never has to know, come on Jared......” teeth nipped at his ear and hands caressed and fondled and Jared’s hands came up to try and push the man away, his vision blurred but the voice so familiar it sent shivers up his spine.
“That’s it Jared....come on.” The bed shifted as the man moved to lay on top of him and Jared began to panic fully, struggling and pleading, his breathing laboured and his limbs drugged and weak.
The sound of a door slamming open resounded in the hollow room and the weight was gone from him, leaving him free to try and curl in on himself in a protective ball. He heard Robert’s growl and the sound of a fist hitting flesh before hands moved to gently pull his pants back up and a blanket was laid over his shivering body. Scattered angry words like “mine” and “don’t touch” floated through but Jared didn’t want to hear them, he wanted to go home, he wanted Jensen.
As the door shut firmly behind him, two men dragging someone with them, Jared curled in on himself even tighter and fought back tears of utter helplessness.
Jensen.....please Jensen.....I want to go home.......
Please......
