I stood on the small porch, watching as the cat played with a bug, keeping it from crawling into the safety of the grass, meowing every five minutes, it's little bob tail moving. Agent Wolfe had told me to stand outside well they scanned for finger prints, leaving me in charge of watching Tuna, who looked to be having fun with the bug he was playful playing with. With my arms hugging my chest, I looked at who I guessed was Will's neighbor, who was dressed in her full out nightgown, her gray hair everywhere.

"I didn't hear one word, I just saw that his kitchen light was on and I know Will would never leave his lights on like that so when I went to peek through the window, I saw all the broken glass so I called the cops." She said shrugging, the officer just nodding his head. The officer said something to her before he turn around and walked away, leaving the lady to play with her fingers. I was pulled from looking at the lady when Agent Wolfe cleared his throat, making me jump.

He smiled. "Didn't mean to scare you." He said, pulling off his white gloves, grabbing the zip block bag he had set by the door. When he lifted it up, my brow raising. "Is that his cell?" I asked, seeing that it was cracked almost all over the screen, meaning the person must of thought they were going to be able to break it. Agent Wolfe nodded slowly.

"Does it still work?" I asked as he looked at the phone, the back of it falling off.

"I turned it on inside, looked like Will was just about to send a text to someone when he must of been jumped, but he put up one good fight, found a kitchen knife having blood on it and I'm having it being tested to see who it belongs to." He said looking as the cat came up to me and started to rub up against my leg, purring.

"Still can't figure out why the cat was in the microwave though, must of gotten in the way or something." He said, squatting down and rubbing the back of Tuna's left ear.

I just smiled as Tuna purred more, his eyes closed as he tripped over my shoe but he caught himself.

"I'm going to send some officers with you for the rest of the night just-" Agent Wolfe started to say but I interpreted him.

"My family and I are going to be fine, with my dad being home, no one will make into our bedrooms without him knowing." I said, picking up Tuna who just rested his chin on my elbow.

Agent Wolfe let out a sigh, knowing that there was no way he would be able to change my mind. "Fine, just call me if anything feels wrong. I'm going to start calling in officers to be placed at everyones houses just to be safe. Do you need a ride home?" He asked, tugging on his shirt, I smiled but took a step back. "No thanks, I know my way from here. Bye." I called out as I ducked under the tape, heading home with Tuna.

Deadlock's POV

Deadlock hissed as he wrapped up the stab wound the slave had given him before they were able to knock him out. He was now happy that the boss had given him the other three men, if not, he was sure the slave would of taken him out with one punch. Knoting it, he pulled his blood covered sleeve over his wounded arm, moving it in a circle to get the feeling back, his nose itchy. Bloody cat, why, out of all the things, did it have to be a stupid bloody cat? He growled, remembering how much he had sneezed because of the cat. Moving his eyes, he looked at the slave who was lying on the van floor, his arms and ankles locked with two zip ties on each, a folded shirt pressed into his mouth, keeping him from sharing any words when he woke up.

"Where to next?" One of the men said, sitting by the door and Deadlock just looked at them, before grabbing the folder.

"A girl's house." He called out, closing it and setting it off the side, letting out a sneeze that made him have to place a hand on the wall to brace himself.

"Stupid-bloody-cat-" He growled, running his arm over his nose.

He heard a moan making him look to see that the boy was moving, or at least trying to, his fingers moving slowly, but his eyes still closed. Deadlock just smiled as he looked out his window.

"Don't worry, bud, you'll have a friend with you soon."

*****

I opened the door and set Tuna down who quickly dashed towards the living room, going under the couch. I just laughed as I made my way towards the kitchen, seeing Noah standing by the counter, only wearing pants.

"Noah!" I hissed as he started to laugh.

"What, I can only wear a shirt so long before I get too hot." He said shrugging as he got his hot dog ready he was going to eat.

"Oh, by the way, Luke called. Wanted to talk to you so you might want to call him before he calls for the sixth time." he said looking up at me.

I sometimes wondered how we were even siblings. Noah was a brat at moments, having his sweaty friends over here twenty four seven, one of which tried to flirt with me and I told him to bug off before I had ants on him. I looked away when Noah said his name. I hadn't talked to Luke since he said I was becoming a monster for trying to find Chip, and now, he was spamming my phone with voicemails and texts, it was driving me crazy.

"Thanks Noah, hey, I'm going to go upstairs." I said, taking the hot dog from him just as he was about to take a bit.

"Hey! I was going to eat that!" He yelled out.

"Put a shirt on!" I yelled out, laughing as I took a bit of the hot dog, pulling out my cell phone.

As soon as it turned on, it showed yet another voice mail. Luke, I'm so going to hurt you. I hit the button and soon Luke's voice filled up my room.

"Hey Skyler-um- I know you're most likely going to ignore this like the others but with your brother telling you I called, I'm sure you'll listen to this, at least I hope so." He laughed a little to himself. "Look Skyler, I know your mad at me, I just want to talk it out, I hate it when you ignore me, it's like you're slowly trying to make me beg for my forgiveness. I just wanted to tell you that I still love you, that I care about you and that crazy mind of yours, I just-just can't lose you again. I've already lost Izzy and I can't lose you. I just don't want something to happen and the next thing I know, you're gone too." There was a long pause and I thought the voicemail was down but it wasn't. "If you're still mad, I want you to know this. Even if you give me the Sky bomb, not talk to me, and ignore everything, I just want you to know, I still love you, even if you don't. I want to know you forgive me so please, just know, I'm here, looking at my phone, waiting, for you. Bye Skyler." With that, a beep took place and I just looked at the object I had picked up, blinking away the tears that were trying to escape. Looking at my phone, I slowly walked over to it, picking it up, my thumb hovering over the call back button. Taking an easy breath, I press it, putting it to my ear, hearing the ringing. It rang five times before it went to his voice mail. "Hey, this is Luke. Sorry I didn't get to you sooner, just leave your name and number and I'll call back as soon as I can." A ding soon followed behind his voice.

"Hey Luke, I-I just wanted to call back and tell you I got your voice mail and that-" I stopped when I heard something smash from downstairs. Was Noah playing football inside again? It was silent before I went back to the voice mail. "I just wanted to say I got it, and that

it-" I heard someone calling my name from downstairs, making me glancing towards the door. Forgetting that I was still on voicemail, I opened my door and looked towards the stairs, wondering if this was one of Noah's pranks.

"Noah, I swear, if you're playing with me, I'm so going to cook you.' I called out, no one responding. I looked around and slowly made my way towards the stairs, my phone still in my hand, the voicemail recording everything of this.

"Noah?" I called out again, as I got to the bottom of the stairs, looking around. Everything looked fine.

I slowly made my way towards the kitchen, looking towards the back door, to see it was shattered. What the heck? I walked into the kitchen, looking around until I froze in place, seeing my brother being held up against someone's chest, his nose bloody as his body shack out of control. I looked towards the figure who had my brother, my heart taking a leap seeing that they had had a gun placed to the side of his head. Noah swallowed as he looked at me, his left hand covered in blood.

"Sky-" The figure cut him off with a harsh tone.

"Shut it." They hissed. They then spoke up, pushing Noah forward as they walked forward, letting me see his face. His black hair a little messed up, but it was his eyes that brought me on, they shined like the moon.

"Can we do this the easy way or the hard way?" He asked, making a whistle, and I looked around to see three men step out, each of them different, blocking any escape that I might of took, I looked back towards the figure, seeing that Noah looked like he was going to wet himself any minute now.

"What do you want?" I hissed, trying to hide the fear.

He just smiled, his eyes sparkling.

"You, Skyler Oaks."
