Chapter Twenty-Five: APB
A/N: This was a very hard chapter to write guys. I had to take a couple of breaks and walk away before I could even get through it so I'm sure it will be hard for all of you to read. I apologize in advance. :(
AUTHOR'S POV
Detective Duval and Laurent are still at Larry's car...both in a complete world of shock at the footage their eyes just witnessed. It took the detective several moments to pull his eyes away from a visibly shaken Laurent and put them back on the dropped grocery bag with all of its contents broken inside of it. He draws in a breath before slowly releasing it then stands up slowly to walk over to Laurent...
Duval: "Mr. Bourgeois, now that I've seen the footage I'll put out an APB on Todd to capture him. My team and I won't stop until we do and you have my assurance that he will receive the maximum sentence".
Laurent's tears haven't stopped flowing and as he sniffs he softly nods his head before asking...
Laurent: "Can I take my Larry's car"?
Duval: "For now it has to remain here. It's a crime scene and my team has to come down to secure it as such then follow standard procedures but I will arrange to have it brought to you after all protocol is followed".
Laurent: *nods* "Oki", he whispers.
Duval: "Please just go and be with your mom and you'll hear from me often as I update you on our search".
The detective saying "go and be with your mom" literally feels like someone has knocked the wind out of him because he has to break the news to her and he just doesn't know how to do that. Since they've been able to walk or even talk for that matter mama has always told them how they're her world and doesn't remember what life was like before they were born...so to tell her that the other half of her has been taken with no clue as to where is eating away at his heart...but he can't delay it any longer. He has to leave right now and go to her...
Laurent: "Oki. I'll go there now". *pause* "Thank you for all your help detective".
Duval: "You're very welcome", he replies softly.
Laurent turns around and walks to his car...the detective watching his every heartbreaking step. He eventually takes his phone out then looks away to place a call to his team to come down and do everything that needs to be done. Laurent is inside his car now but before he puts key to ignition he lightly crashes his forehead to the steering wheel and bursts into tears again. If ever there was a time where he wished so much for something to be a really bad nightmare this is that moment. Each minute his crying becomes more intense and it's literally shaking his body. He has to take several deep breaths to calm down and bring strength back to his body in order to leave and go to mama...but the tears won't stop for long. The moment he's out of the shopping center they're already back full force and won't be able to stop...
*****
When Laurent pulls up in front of the home and turns the engine off he does a quick mirror check. He isn't surprised at the level of redness in them from crying so much. Driving was surely a task as his mind is running rampant with thoughts of the unknown. Where has Todd taken him and what are his plans? It's already torture to his soul to know that he took him and to see it for himself but he can't imagine what Todd is doing to him now. Just the thought causes a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach just as much as having to go inside and break this news to mama. He's out of his car and taking what has to be the longest walk of his life to the front door. When he walks in he sees mama on the couch with the biggest look of worry on her face. It also looks like she had just stopped crying. Laurent drops his head in despair momentarily then slowly brings it back up to look at her. Once mama notices him and sees his eyes she quickly stands up and walks over. She asks, "what is it"? Laurent sees the panic combined with the tears that are building as she can easily tell by the look on his face something bad happened. Laurent is devastated by the sadness on her face that he can't even bring himself to say the words. It will take mama asking again...
Mama: "Son please. What happened? Where is Larry"?
Laurent lets out a soft cough as his throat is seemingly closing up at what he's about to tell her. His tears also also come back the moment he opens his mouth...
Laurent: "Mama...um". *pause* "Todd took him".
With her eyes wide and the tears uncontrollable now...
Mama: "What"?
Laurent gulps while more of his own tears fall down as he attempts to tell her everything...
Laurent: "When he was at his car Todd covered his mouth and took him away". *pause* "He took him mama and we don't know where he is".
Mama is so in shock that she can't react right away. Then, it happens. She falls forward on Laurent's chest and bursts into tears. Laurent immediately wraps his arms around her as he's now crying as hard as she is...
Mama: "Noooo!! Not my babyyy"!!
Laurent: *sniff* "I'm so sorry mama".
Mama: "Laurent please tell me this is not true"!!!
Laurent: *sniff* "I...I can't do that mama. I'm so sorry".
Mama stays standing as long as she can but in her devastation her legs give out and she begins to slowly sink to the ground. Laurent follows her as he never let his grasp of her go. Now both on the floor and bawling their eyes out Laurent will try to comfort her as much as he can...
Laurent: *sniff* "They will find him mama". *pause* "He will be oki and Todd won't get away with this".
Unable to respond mama just holds onto her other love as tight as she possibly can as they continue to cry together...
~meanwhile~
Todd: "I want us to make love baby. I've missed you so much".
Larry's mouth falls open slightly as if he's going to reply. This is mostly out of shock at Todd's request but...even if he does want to say something Todd will continue speaking prohibiting him from doing so...
Todd: "You remember all the time we spent together? The times you would come over and laugh as we watched TV". *pause* "You also taught me how to cook a few things that I never knew was as easy to cook before". *pause* "Sometimes you would laugh at the way I sliced the vegetables. We used to play video games and you would also laugh whenever you beat me". *pause* "You remember baby"?
*brief pause*
Larry: "Yeah I remember", he replies softly.
Todd: "Then there were the times I made love to you. We made love all over my house. Like the time I had you on the kitchen table as I held your leg back. I looked down at you biting your lower lip as your eyes were closed". *pause* "The times where we wouldn't even pay attention to the TV because I pulled you onto my lap and you would ride me so damn good". *pause* "You remember that rainy day we spent in bed together? You were on your side and I came behind you and kissed your shoulder. You turned your head to me and when I saw those brown eyes looking up at me my heart melted. I started making love to you right where you were and you kept your eyes on me the entire time. I grabbed your face while I kissed it and whenever I kissed your lips you moaned into my mouth. Then you told me that you were about to cum and you said it so soft as you looked into my eyes". *sigh* "I remember it like it was yesterday and it seems like every time I was with you or made love to you I was falling more and more in love with you baby". *pause* "Then you left me and it broke my heart because I thought it was going to be us forever".
Larry isn't really sure what to say or how to feel about everything Todd just said...but what he does know is that he has to keep playing along while he figures out how to get away from him so...
Larry: "I...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you".
Todd: "It's ok baby. I forgive you and we're together now". *pause* "I'll get my forever with you and I want that more than anything else in the world".
Larry's eyes are down but he still manages to muster up the best smile he can. Todd then takes his index and middle finger to softly touch Larry's chin to slowly bring his focus up to him. Once their eyes meet...
Todd: "Let me make love to you now baby. Please".
Larry has to think of a way to get out of this without bringing suspicion to Todd. Then it quickly comes to him...
Larry: "Todd, we...we have time to make love. We can wait until we get away and get settled in us new home". *pause* "You said that you know where we're going right? Let's just wait to get there then we can make love all the time".
Todd gives him a small smile then inches closer to him and resumes caressing Larry's cheek...
Todd: "I know baby but I've been waiting so long to make love to you again and I can't wait anymore". *pause* "I have to be inside of you now".
Larry doesn't have any other options to give. He then has the thought of during Todd's customary undressing of him he does something like kicking him in his coconuts and taking off but...he doesn't know this home at all. He doesn't even know where the front door is and with all of the windows boarded up he's not sure if he can escape him without Todd catching him and it making him angry enough to do something else crazy. He realizes that he will just have to go along with this as much as he detests it. It isn't long before Todd stands him up and starts to kiss on him while unbuckling his pants. The moment they fall to the floor he whispers, "step" so Larry can step out of them. Todd kicks the pants to the side then whispers, "arms up" so he can remove Larry's shirt. Now completely nude Todd licks his lips at the sight of Larry's chest. He then takes his hand to grab Larry's manhood and stroke it all while bringing his face towards Larry to kiss him. He allows his tongue to slither out first and into Larry's mouth. Larry is internally cringing at what's happening now. Although he may have decided against trying to escape the mere touch of Todd's hands on him and kissing him causes him to low key look around again to find a way out of this...but unable to see much other than the sight of the bathroom on the outside of the bedroom Larry has to stomach all of this. Then he hears, "lay down baby" whispered in his ear so Larry slowly sits on the edge of the bed then lays back as he's instructed. Todd hovers over him and as Larry expected started kissing him all over and ultimately ends up securing his mouth around Larry's manhood. Larry shuts his eyes then turns away. He eventually opens them slowly and looks in the direction of the boarded up window in the room...wishing like hell he wasn't feeling this right now. In fact, tears are already falling down. Some down his temple, the other tears gliding over his nose. He really tries to pretend he isn't there at all...but that's impossible and he's never disliked a blowjob so much in his life. Just when he thought he could block this moment out that's when he feels Todd over him which means he's now about to push himself inside. Once he does Todd belts out an "ahh" while Larry's eyes shut tightly again. Todd's sounds switch between panting, moaning and even purring as he moves inside of Larry. Larry even gets a sound of him whimpering in his ear...but then those whimpers turn into sniffs. Is Todd crying? Larry's face lightly scrunches into confusion as he listens. When the sniffs came more frequent he knows that's exactly what he's doing. Todd starts to kiss on his neck then his cheek. He then raises his body up and the moment Larry sees his face the crying is confirmed. Todd's eyes are closed but tears are steadily rolling down his cheeks as he continues to move powerfully. Larry's mouth falls slightly open as he can't believe what he's seeing. Todd eventually brings his body back down to go back to kissing Larry all over. He's even taken his hand to lightly grab Larry's neck...his sniffs becoming stronger which means that his crying is all the more intense...
Todd: "Oh Larry". *sniff* "I've missed this so much". *kiss* "I've missed you so much".
Todd's tears continue and at one point he takes Larry's arms to raise them over his head before sliding his hands down and over his biceps. His speed starts to increase and his moans get louder. Then he realizes Larry's hands aren't placed on his back like they used to be in these moments...
Todd: "Put your hands on my back baby".
Larry hesitates at first but he gulps before doing as Todd requested. Then...
Todd: "Yes baby". *pause* "Ahh you feel so amazing", he whispers.
Several more unnerving moments of this "session" continues then Larry feels himself on the verge of his climax which is the last thing he wants. With as much as he doesn't want to be a part of this his body simply can't stop it no matter how much he wants his mind to and what makes it worse is that Todd senses it so he whispers, "Cum baby". *kiss* "Cum". To expedite Larry's climax Todd increases his speed more and going deeper to ensure he's hitting Larry in the right spot to make his orgasm ooze out. Seconds later it does and what would normally be insane pleasure Larry simply grabs his hair with a tight fist and shuts his eyes at the powerful sensation. Not one noise will he utter. Todd doesn't even notice. In fact, he momentarily stops his rhythm to lean down and lick Larry clean...moaning as if it's the best meal he's ever had. He moves back up to slide right back in with full moaning ensuing. His crying is still visible but coming at a slower rate than before...until he feels his orgasm coming. He increases his speed...loud whimpers resounding from within him and the moment he feels it shooting out two tears stream down his face as he cries out loudly. With such a powerful orgasm over he softly crashes his cheek on Larry's chest to catch his breath. Moments later he brings his head up to look into Larry's eyes and move in for a kiss as well. Larry really doesn't want this kiss at all just as much as he didn't want what just occurred...but since he doesn't have much of a choice he complies. He puckers his lips in the smallest way and allows them to touch Todd's. What a difference everything is. The only bright side to it is that it's over now. Then Todd will say something that Larry isn't necessarily surprised to hear him say. A couple of stray tears fall from his eyes as he whispers, "I love you". Larry is hoping that Todd isn't expecting him to say it back. Todd has told him this before and Larry has never repeated those words because although he did have feelings for him and cared about him he could never say them. He's in for a huge surprise...
Todd: "You're not going to say it back baby"?
*silence*
Todd: "I know you love me. You said you want to go with me so we can be together so tell me you love me". *pause* "I love you Larry".
*brief pause*
Larry: *gulp* "I...I love you too".
Todd smiles even through the residue of tears on his face then leans down to kiss him again. He slowly pulls himself out and Larry assumes he's about to do what he always does after...this...which is go to the bathroom for a quick freshening up. He tells Larry,"I won't be long baby" who softly nods so Todd gets up and makes the few short steps to the bathroom. Larry rolls over on his side and that's when he feels tears building up again and falling out. He expects Todd to be in the bathroom for only a few minutes...but when he hears the shower running he thinks to himself "maybe I can get away now". He waits a few moments to make sure Todd doesn't come back out just in case he forgot a shower essential. When he doesn't Larry stands up as slowly as he can to prevent the bed from squeaking. When he's successful he slips his clothes back on, slides into his shoes then takes the softest of steps towards the bedroom door. Unfortunately he has to walk past the bathroom to investigate a possible way out and the moment he steps in front of it the floor creaks. He makes a silent "shit" face and stops dead in his tracks to listen for the water to stop and Todd coming out just in case he heard it. Roughly one minute passes and the water is still running so Larry continues walking. Each window he passes is boarded up which he expected since the one in the bedroom is the same...but he isn't entirely discouraged because surely there aren't any problems with the front door. The moment he's upon it even from a distance it looks...different. The door knob isn't a typical one but thinking nothing of it he grabs the knob with his shaky hand to turn it...it's locked. His face instantly scrunches into confusion as to why but that doesn't deter him from trying again and he does multiple times. Still nothing. He whispers, "fuck" then turns around and starts darting his eyes everywhere hoping to discover another way. He only becomes more discouraged when he doesn't find anything. Then, he hears the shower turn off. His eyes widen in fear and he hurriedly heads back to the bathroom. Once he sprints across the creaky floor in front of the bathroom he hears...
Todd: "You ok baby"?
Larry: "Uh, yeah. I'm fine".
Todd doesn't reply so Larry merely assumes he believes him so he goes over to the bed. He kicks off his shoes and realizes he doesn't have time to remove his clothes so he just climbs back in the bed. It's a good thing he does because now Todd is coming out of the bathroom. He has a towel wrapped around his waist while he uses another one to dry off his head. When he walks into the bedroom he looks up at Larry and notices him fully clothed. His facial expression instantly changes only Larry can't quite read what it is. Possibly curiosity as to why Larry is suddenly dressed. Possibly anger if he's figured out that Larry just tried to escape. Or both. Then...
Todd: "Why did you get dressed baby"?
Larry: *gulp* "I...I got cold".
Silence falls between them as Larry gazes at him completely unsure if Todd believes him because he still can't figure out that look. Eventually...
Todd: "Oh. Well I'll turn up the heat for you".
Larry nods and when Todd turns around to do as he said Larry blows out a silent exhale of relief. Then he starts to feel extremely sad that he couldn't make his escape so he has to think of another way. Then it comes to him. His cell phone. He's sure it's in his pocket and since Todd will be back any second Larry quickly picks up his pants to search them. To his surprise his phone isn't in either pocket and it really confuses him. He may not remember everything that happened for Todd to get him here but it's very rare that he leaves his phone and he can only think of two reasons why he doesn't have it. He left it in his car or...Todd took it. He will put money on it that Todd took it but how is he supposed to ask him without Todd getting suspicious? After all, he lucked up with Todd believing that he's dressed because he got cold and having no clue of the true reason but...he has to know. Now Todd is back in the bedroom and his method of asking him hits him. It will make his stomach turn at the term of endearment he will use to ask this question...but he figures it's the best way to draw the least amount of suspicion...
Larry: "Um, baby"?
Todd: *smile* "Yes"?
Larry: "When I got dressed I didn't feel my phone in my pocket. Do you know where it is"?
Todd's smile slowly fades and Larry instantly becomes suspicious with his answer...
Todd: "I...I don't know where your phone is baby".
Before Larry can reply Todd quickly changes the subject...
Todd: "You feel the heat yet"?
*brief pause*
Larry: "Yeah I do".
Todd: "Good".
Larry watches Todd get dressed with his eyes full of "I know you're lying" but when Todd turns to face him he quickly softens up. Todd walks over and when he climbs in bed to lay back he pulls Larry into him. He kisses Larry's forehead then whispers, "get some sleep". Larry whispers an"oki" but sleep is the last thing on his mind because it looks like Todd is going to get his wish. They'll be running away together and he's unsure of when he'll ever escape him...if he ever escapes...
~two hours later~
Laurent and mama are still extremely emotional and naturally their fears haven't subsided. Of course they won't be until they receive news about their loved one being safe and unharmed. Laurent made mama some tea to relax her...but much like him relaxation has been very difficult. They've been sitting on the couch and for the most part it's silence between them. Then Laurent's phone rings. He quickly puts his mug down to reach for it and when he looks at the screen he sees that it's detective Duval so he answers in a flash...
Laurent: "Detective you find him"?
Detective: "No Mr. Bourgeois, not yet".
Laurent's eyes close and his head slowly drops...
Detective: "But you should know that my team and I have been working since you left. An APB has already gone out primarily to the airports". *pause* "We will find them and I'm confident that I'll be calling you soon to tell you that".
Laurent: *deep sigh* "Oki. Thank you detective".
When Laurent releases the call he slowly turns to mama. Unable to say anything he just softly shakes his head. He then pulls mama into him because he can just tell that her emotions are building up again...and so are his...
~meanwhile~
Laurent is unaware of this but the detective is on his way to a neighborhood just outside of Paris because a feeling inside of him said to search there. He's familiar with the area and it's mostly known for the least amount of homes and activity going on there...the perfect place for Todd to keep Larry hidden until he feels safe enough to leave the country which he's sure Todd plans on doing and although the airports are notified there's still a possibility of Todd concealing he and Larry's identity so they can get away with no problems. Nonetheless, he parks on a curb with the plan of going door to door. Right away he notices a house at the end of the street that immediately strikes him. Although from the outside it looks like a normal family house something on the inside of him is stirring. He will get to it eventually but for now he begins where he is...
*****
Not everyone is home but he does speak with a few residents. The feeling about the house at the end is still plaguing him and when the next resident answers he'll ask questions about it. He knocks on the door and seconds later a woman answers with a look of confusion...
"Hi. Can I help you"?
"Hi. Detective Duval. Your name"?
"Cynthia".
Duval: "Nice to meet you Cynthia".
Cynthia: "You too".
Duval: "I'm here because there's been an abduction and my team and I have been searching the local area but I feel my presence should be here". *pause* "Is there anything you can tell me about the house at the end"?
Cynthia stretches her neck to look at the house. Then...
Cynthia: "Not really. I haven't paid much attention to it and my husband works during the day so I don't think he's seen much of anything either". *pause* "I just assumed that whoever lives there works long hours so they aren't home very much".
Duval: "I see". *pause* "Well thank you for your time".
Cynthia: "You're welcome detective".
She turns around to go back inside as the detective turns to face the home. He takes a deep breath and begins making the walk over...
*Larry*
Larry surprisingly fell asleep even though he was sure he wouldn't be able to but he and Todd are awake now. Todd cooked them something to eat but Larry doesn't have much of an appetite so he just picks at his food mostly. When Todd notices...
Todd: "Something wrong baby"?
Larry: "I'm just not hungry".
Todd nods then takes his plate from him and places it on the nightstand. Being more concerned with Larry he stops eating and places his plate on top of Larry's. Then he scoots closer to him as he asks, "are you ok"? Larry proceeds to respond but then they hear a knock at the door causing Larry to instantly react. He belts out a scream but Todd quickly covers his mouth with his hand as he harshly whispers, "shhh"!! Larry's body starts shaking because not only does Todd's reaction frighten him but his adrenaline is also pumping because the knock on the door is a possible sign of hope to him. Todd takes the index finger of his other hand, brings it up and places it on his lips to signal for him to be quiet. He then switches which hand is on Larry's mouth so he can reach into the nightstand and pull something out. Larry's eyes widen when he sees a knife and Todd instructs him again to be quiet in another harsh whisper. Larry nods so Todd drops his hand then stands up and tip toes to the front door since he can't look out the windows. Now in front of the door he looks through the peephole and sees who he just knows is a cop. Anger starts to build on the inside of him because he's surprised that a cop is even there but also judging from the look on his face he's sure Larry's scream was heard even if it was only for a second. Nonetheless, he stays quiet even when the detective knocks again. Eventually he walks away and when he's out of sight Todd quickly goes back to the bedroom. As soon as he walks through the door he looks angrily at Larry and asks semi-loudly...
Todd: "Why did you have to scream"?!
Larry: "I...I didn't do it on purpose baby. It just scared me".
Todd blows out a hard sigh of frustration then tells Larry...
Todd: "I have to assume he heard that and I'm not taking any chances of the cops or anyone finding us".
Larry: "What does that mean"?
Todd: "We have to leave very soon".
Larry starts to panic on the inside as Todd walks back over to sit down and look him in the eyes...
Todd: "We'll be out of here in two days. Never to be heard from again".
Larry looks at the intensity in Todd's eyes...clearly seeing how serious he is. Two days he'll be taken to only Todd knows...and there is absolutely nothing he can do about it...
------------------------------
A/N: So, what do you all think? Did the detective hear the scream or is Todd just paranoid? Sound off in the comments! Love you guys. :)
