Bruce gingerly held his sister's arm, pulling her along to the car. Bruce was acting as calmly as he possibly could, but he knew something wasn't right with Ryan and could tell Ryan was not just emotionally abusing his little sister...
Bruce could barely contain his anger, it was definitely rising more and more inside of him, but he couldn't let it show to his sister. He didn't want Bee to think anything was suspicious.

He told Bridget he was going to take her home, and he was, but what Bridget did not know is that Bruce wouldn't be letting her stay long. He would have her pack her things while Bruce got to have a little discussion with that scum bag, Ryan.

Bee was too much in her own world of panicking, that she could not tell her brother was angry, or that she was acting in such a nervous behavior.

Bridget had hives up and down her slim body, they were along her shin bones and down her spine. She had worked herself up, just thinking about leaving Ryan. She knew she wouldn't be able to do that, even though that's what she thought was for the best earlier that day. Bridget knew now, it just wasn't that simple.. She couldn't just leave.. Right? She thought in her crazy, whirlwind of thoughts in her mind..
What would he do if I left him?
Would he even let me go?
Will he hurt my family?
The last question made her shiver and also made her hives flare up even more, so she scratched and scratched until her shins were lightly bleeding. Bridget, however, didn't even notice. She could barely catch her breath from how fast her heart was pounding, and her body felt like she may burst into flames because of how warm her internal body heat had become, while small droplets of sweat rolled down her forehead, gliding down to her cheeks, that were becoming a brighter pink with each second that passed.

Bridget didn't know what in the world to do.. However, the thought of asking her big brother for help did cross her mind, but she did not want him to know exactly what had happened because Bridget couldn't risk the fact that someone could get hurt. Bridget knew how angry Bruce could get and she couldn't stand the thought of someone getting hurt. Just the thought made her stomach kirtle... Little did she know that Bruce and the family had been putting the pieces together, while she was in her state of troublesome and nervousness, Bee barely payed any attention to what was exactly happening before her eyes. 

"Why are you taking me home in mom's car?" Bridget dazedly asked.

"Because, Monica needs to go home and put the kids to bed and she needs some rest herself." Bruce replied closing the passenger door after Bridget got in.

Bruce had thought his new plan over and over, realizing if Ryan knew Bruce would be taking Bridget away from him, he may go berserk and come to Elisha and Julian's house. So, Bruce had to tell his father to go on lock down; every light had to be off in the house, and absolutely no noise. They couldn't risk anything... If Ryan were so horrible to hurt his sister and be such a weird boy, who knows what he's fully capable of doing. Bruce would do his best to keep Ryan at his house while Bruce had his own little chat with him, but just in case, Bruce wanted his family to be on lock down...

"Just in case..." Bruce mumbled to himself under his breath, while he swiped the back of his hand over his forehead from sweat.

Before he got into the car, he had to find his father to give him this information.

Monica came running out of the house, looking more concerned then ever before. She was scared something terrible was going to happen, and she knew Bruce was going to do this all on his own. Monica was worried for more than just that, she just had a bad sensation in her gut. Monica didn't want her husband or sister in law to get hurt, and she didn't even want Ryan to get hurt... It would all be pinned on Bruce if something were to happen. When Bruce got this upset, Monica knew there was no way to convince him to go about it any other way. Bruce's mind was set on whatever he had planned... and that scared Monica.
