Just Breathe

Chapter six

Virgil

it was getting late, Patton had fallen asleep while watching a movie 'did they let you know anything yet?' I asked logan, he looked at his phone 'not yet' he said, 4 A.M. the clock on my phone showed, I started to get worried. I got up and went upstairs 'virge, why are you still up?' roman asked sleepily when I sat down on the edge of his bed 'they still not back and I'm worried' i said 'maybe they are staying over at one of Thomas's friends, if their not back by noon we'll go look for them and perhaps call the police' he said pulling me closer, making me lay down with him.

the next morning they still weren't home, logan called around to hear if they stayed over somewhere, he eventually walked out and when he came back in he said 'the police are going to look at the school if they can find anything' I hope he doesn't have them, but then again, morgan would do anything so they won't hurt Thomas.... even If it costs her life.

a week went by and Patton got a video sent to him from one of their phones, it showed how 2 masked men were beating morgan. after that we started to get pictures, until one day we got an envelope 'Virgil I think it's for you' Patton called out 'why think?' I asked as he held up the envelope, in big letters there stood Anxiety, my codename. 'be very careful with that envelope, just lay it down on the table' i said, trying not to panic.

as he laid down the envelope, I walked closer, 'Patton can you go find logan, oh and tell him to bring his gloves' i said as I took the gloved out of my sweater pocket and dialed Nate's number 'i don't have much time, morgan has been kidnapped and I just got an envelope sent to my home with my codename on it, she and one of my roommates have been gone for almost a month and I think we don't have much time left' i said hastily 'i heard you, where are you?' he asked 'i live in Gainsville ill send you the address, and talk to the police they have been searching, I'll send a picture of what's in the envelope, someone is coming, see you soon Nate' I said right before hanging up. 'ROMAN!' I called out, as Patton walked in again 'he's coming in a moment' 'what's going on?' I could hear roman calling out, I took out a letter written to me, I handed Patton a set of gloves 'don't touch anything without gloves, can you look if there is anything else in the envelope' I asked him.

logan walked in just in time to catch the fainting Patton 'what's going on?' he asked ' there was an envelope addressed to me and Patton took that out of it before he fainted, but wear gloves if it who I think that sent this, there might be something on it' roman walked into the room 'this happened' I let him read the letter 'remember the guy that was after me, in high school, that at one point followed roman, Patton, and I to your house?' I asked logan 'yes I remember him'  he said 'well he gave me the nickname anxiety, and apparently morgan has a history with him too', I handed him the letter and finally go to look at the picture, in the picture we saw Thomas chained to the ground, still in fairly good shape, but morgan, on the other hand, she looked a lot worse 'alright I'm going to call the police' logan said, he laid down the letter and roman helped Patton who just woke again to the couch, which allowed me to take a picture of the letter and the picture and sent Nathan the address.

about 30 minutes later I got a text from Nate that he was around the corner 'i'm going to the store' I said walking out. I walked up to the black car with tinted windows and got in 'it's been a long time my friend' he said 'yeah it has, how are you?' I asked him 'im good, but well talk later' i nodded and handed him the letter and picture 'the police haven't found anything yet, but about a mile from the school there is an alleyway, there are signs there had been a fight a while back, i think they ran and hid but were found and fought, but were overtaken cause they were with more' he told me 'but this picture shows a lot, there are a few abandoned buildings in the industrial lot, i have sent officer jhon and a group of others to go look' as on queue his phone rang ' if you speak of the devil' i muttered 'i'll put him on speaker' he said 'officer jhon  your on speaker, I'm here with co-leader Virgil ashford of phoenix' he said 'sir, nate we found out in wich building their holding morgan night and thomas sinés, it's in an abandoned lot owned by a man names Roger mondes, he has a recorded and has connections with charles Deceit, the father of dean' he said 'alright, send me the address I'll be there as soon as I can, request backup and an ambulance, we don't know how hurt they are, but from the picture i have here one is almost at the door of death' he said 'roger that' the officer said before hanging up 'he knows of phoenix?' i asked nate 'yes, he was the one who thought me everything I know, to be in the fbi special group, he kinda is my superior, he's the only one who knows' he told me. 'but anyway, I'll give you a call when we got them out' he said I nodded and got out of the car, pulling my hood up and walking further towards the store.
