(Warning: swearing, talking about what went on while D was in capitivity, blood)

      (Third person)
Roman hadn't left Virgil's room for days except to eat. The group caught up while they waited for the police to show up so Damian could give the report. "De, what the actual fuck are you wearing?" Remy asked, just realizing Damian's weird attire. "Oh uh, the guy that took me had this weird fantasy. Ill explain it to the police." Remy nodded, still holding his husband close as if he'd disappear if he let go.

Soon enough, the authorities came in. "Alright Damian, explain to us what happened." Damian nodded and sat up. "Well after I was kidnapped, I found myself strapped to a chair by zip ties. No bruising caused due to these gloves." He heald up his hands to show bright yellow gloves. "I didn't know why he changed my clothing until the dreams." The officer raised an eyebrow. "Dreams?" De nodded. "He drugged me and it would send me into these drug highs. I had these dreams that I was another person, but I wasn't a person. I was a personality." The officer quickly wrote down the information. "How did he drug you?" De looked around at his friends cautiously before turning his neck to reveal several small, round, and slightly infected scabs where a syringe had entered.

There were a few gasps as the officer examined the wounds. "Make sure to clean these. Was your friend Virgil there?" Damian nodded. "Got there a couple days after I did. Got it worst though. Virgil didn't go down without a fight most of the times. He wasn't so lucky to get gloves, but he still fought his restraints. Finally snapped them one day then cut me free with a pocket knife he had. That was the day I escaped." De explained, growing more worried the more he talked about his friend. "When he tackled the man to help me escape... He told me to run. Run as fast as I could. He screamed it as he was being attacked so I did. I ran and ran with the sound of my friend's screams sounding in my ear..." Damian lowered his head, slightly hearing the pained screams of Virgil.

The officer only nodded slilently. "Thank you Damian. I have a question. Do you happen to know where you were heald captive?" Eyes widened as De shot his head up. "Yes! Oh my god! It was near our old high school! I know because I passed it on the way!" Damian grew excited, he could save his friend. "Come with us, we need you to take us to the place." The officer quickly stood amd said something into his walkie talkie. De stood, kissing his husband deeply before following the officer outside.

While Damian and the officer made their way to the place, Patton went and knocked on Virgil's door. "Roman! Open up!" He heard a groan then a fiddle with the lock before the door swung open. Roman looked terrible. "De remembers where he and Virgil were heald captive! He's taking an officer there now to save V!" Roman went wide eyed, jaw dropped. "They're going to save Virgil?!" He shouted, starting to smile. He quickly tackled the father figure in a hug, squealing loudly. Patton giggled, happy to see his creative son happy.

Damian lead the officers to the hoise where he was heald, nodding when they pulled into a driveway. Several police cars pulled up after them and a couple of the authorities arrested Jackyl. "Tell us sir. Where is Virgil Anx?" Jackyl visibly trembled. Before he could explain, there was a shout from another officer. "Get down here!" They yelled from the basement. They had flipped on the light in the basement to find dried blood on the ground, two chairs in the corner, and a chain running from the wall. No sign of Virgil. "Where is the boy?!" The officer asked Jackyl again, growing impatient. "I uh... I got mad at him and attacked him.. Hit him a bit to hard and he... Died. He's dead." Jackyl whimpered, feeling guilt push down on him. The officer tensed, nodding. "Take him to the station. I have something I got to do." The man left the house and rejoined Damian in the car. "So? Where is Virgil?"

The officer glanced at Damian. "Son... He's beem murdured..." De froze, tears immidietly coming to his eyes. "Wh-what...?" The officer pulled oit of the driveway. "We have to inform your friends.."

The rest of the car ride was complete silence other than the cries of Damian. The officer parked the car ascorted De into Virgil's house. "Gather everyone in the living room please." Damian nodded, doing as he was told.

The adults sat anxiously awaiting in the living room, thinking that this was going to be the moment they saw Virgil again. Damian stayed silent, not making eye contact with anyone. The officer came in and sat down, earning confused looks. "When we got to the scene, we arrested the culprit, but it came with bad news." Roman gripped the hand closest to him, so happened to be Logan's. "I regret to inform you that Virgil Anx had been murdured last night..." Roman's world went silent. He didn't hear the cries and shouts from his friends, only silence. He stared at the ground harshly, ignoring the hugs his friends tried to give him. His love was murdured and he couldnt stop it.

The officer stood. "My fellow officers are picking up the body as we speak. I will be remaining here with you until the body is found." Everyone nodded, but Roman.

AAAH

Dont worry. If you read the last chapter, you know Virgil's not really dead.
