Chapter 35
Jerome POV

These sewers smelt like someone died in them. Heck someone probably did! But I just trudged along with the group following the path of sickly brown and green water.

"Up ahead!" Vikk called out. I looked up and he was at the end of the tunnel motioning us to hurry. Doesn't he understand how hard is it to walk on slippery ground while carrying another person? Idiot.

Anyways. When we rounded the corner I was shocked to see one of those exit pipes that usually lead to a lake or something. I was even more shocked to see Quentin trying to wedge it open.

"Fish!" Jason hollered and Quentin huffed motioning us closer.

"My fin. It's stuck under the bar, I can't lift it." He wheezed pushing against the grate with all his strength. "If it closes any further it'll break my foot."

" Jerome this is your kind of job." Ty mumbled, "Hand me Adam." I gave him a look. "I can carry his lard ass give me my boyfriend."

Ty was crazy but I handed over Adam; but he was managing to hold him up. I could faintly hear him grumbling about a diet plan and chuckled hurrying over to the gate.

I jumped up next to Quentin the rushing water dampening my pant legs and soaking my shoes. I pressed my back into the grate and pushed hard.

"You can do this fluffy!" Tyler called for encouragement. I closed my eyes and pressed hard until a small creeking sound filled the air. I heaved for air.

"Go on threw and hold it up from the other side!" I ordered my grip starting to slip. Quentin, who was now free, wedged himself under the grate and grabbed it. Vikk opted to join him and slid into the water and under the grate.

The weight was lifted off me slightly but we kept it open enough so the others could get threw and lower the injured through first.

First Ian, then Nooch, then Adam. Followed by Ty, Jason, and Tyler. Noah mouthed a thank you and ducked under the grate; which made me notice the mini Seto clinging onto his headset.

"You guys got it?" I huffed. Vikk, Quentin and now Noah held the gate up, "I'm gonna let go and slip threw alright?"

"Go for it." I sucked in a breathe and released the gate dropping down to my knees and sliding under it. Once I was clear it slammed shut.

"We're out." I mumbled as Vikk pulled me to my feet. We could see the sun again, and there were no fences around this area.

"We're on the right side just outside the walls. Our vans should be just around the corner." Vikk exclaimed walking up the small hill and peering over the edge, "The police are here!"

"What?! Are they like good police?" Tyler asked panicked, "They can do the whole good cop bad cop...just without the bad cop part." Jason thumped him on the head.

"Be quiet Tyler." He murmured. Vikk held up a hand.

"There talking to Lachlan and Woofless. I think...I think these guys are here to help us. Let me go out first." He looked at us expecting someone to object but no one did. If it had been someone else in the group I might have, but we didn't really know Vikk.

So he disappeared over the hill in a rush and towards the cops. We waited there and just listened. Everyone was nervous at the idea of all this but stayed calm.

Tyler was clutching onto Jason and Jason was smoothing his hair down and whispering softly Into his ear.

Noah was talking softly to one of the people we had saved, none of the others seemed to really be into speaking to any of us. Ty was sitting on the muck keeping Adams head in his lap. Quentin was rubbing his fin.

Suddenly footsteps grew closer quickly and ten armed men appeared at the top of the hill.

"We've got em." One murmured into his radio placing it back on his hip, "Come on you guys were taking you back to your friends."

Mitch POV

I was surprised that they managed to get a hold of my parents; but wasn't surprised when they refused to let me come home. They simply told the officer that I belonged here and was no longer a sun to them. Needless to say I cried into Preston's shoulder for half an hour.

Preston never objected and just ran his fingers threw my hair and allow me to sob. I pulled away sniffling and Preston wrapped his arm around me tightly.

"Don't worry about it Mitch. What ever happens to you is gonna happen to Nooch and I. Us three are orphans in this, Adam too, maybe they'll stick us all in the same adoption center or foster home. I snorted a laugh at the thought and placed my head on the table.

"Excuse me?" A voice said tapping my shoulder. I lifted my head and smiled softly. "Have you seen Ty?" It was Ty's mom, come to pick her son up like a good parent.

"He went with the group to the other Mental Hospital." Her eyes widened slightly. They had told everyone that a group had left and was being recovered but not who was with them. Plus I think she would notice when her son disappeared from home. "Adam was there, that's why he went."

She smiled tiredly and patted my shoulder.

"Did Jerome go too?" I nodded sadly, "They'll come back alright, don't you worry. I've known those boys for years and they screw up but always fix it." She patted my head and went back to talking to other parents.

"Ty's mom seems nice." Preston admitted, "Nicer than my mom anyways." I laughed and leaned against him closing my eyes tiredly.

"She's been great, and she loves Ty almost as much as Adam does." I yawned, "Besides it was his dad's idea to send him here. His mom just wanted to get him a councilor."

"Councillors are stupid." I nodded my head in agreement. We stayed quiet for a long time just waiting and wondering about the group.

"There back!" Someone hollered causing me to jump up and almost fall smack on my ass. But Preston caught me around the waist and pulled me towards the doorway that a few parents were waiting at.

Adam and Ty came in first; Ty was clutching Adam managing to keep him standing. They were followed by Tyler and Jason who sprinted to Tyler's mom the minute they spotted her.

A bunch of random kids came in lead by Noah; then Ian stumbled in with support from Seto who looked a bit shorter than normal.

Last but not least came Jerome helped Nooch to stand. They came over to us and I threw myself at him hugging him around the torso tightly. He released Nooch who clung to Preston; and hugged me tightly.

"Thank Notch your alright." I mumbled against his neck. I felt his lips brush my forehead.

"I wasn't gonna leave you alone now was I? I smiled and looked up at him.

"I love you Jerome." I said softly. He leaned down so our foreheads touched.

"I love you too Mitch."

Then we shared a kiss.
