the whole house slept peacefully, each persons chest slowly rising and falling with each soft breath.
CRASH
tommy bolted upright, he was a very light sleeper and was also nearest to the crash coming from the downstairs window.
he looked around, unsure what has woken him up at first.
BANG
tommy gulped, 'probably just something fell.' he mumbled, trying to reassure himself. he stood up, 'i'm a big man i can do this.' he said faking confidence and leaving his bedroom.
he walked downstairs, his legs shaking. he looked around once he reached the bottom. seeing nothing out of the ordinary he breathed a sigh of relief and went to turn around, as he did so someone grabbed him from behind.
'AHHHHHH.' tommy screamed.
'TOMMY?' wilbur shouted from upstairs.
he heard footsteps and soon wil techno and phil were all at the bottom of the stairs.
phil flicked the light on.
in front of the three of them was tommy, a man was covering his mouth and restraining him while another held a bat. tommy looked terrified and his eyes were filled with tears.
'GET OFF HIM.' techno yelled.
'come any closer and i'll hit him with the bat.' one of the men said, both of them where wearing balaclavas, hiding their identity.
'now do as we say unless you want him to get hurt.' he said in a gravely tone.
'walk out the house and shut the door. don't come back in until we leave. any words leave your mouth and he'll never open his again.' he said smirking and gesturing to tommy, tommy whimpered.
the three of them left, techno immediately called the police to alert them to come quickly.
the man holding tommy let go of him, hitting him on the leg with his bat. not enough to injure him badly, but enough so that tommy was no longer standing.
the other man pulled the balaclava off of his head and put it over tommys, covering his eyes so the poor boy could no longer see.
the two men grabbed technology and expensive items, absolutely trashing the house.
tommy sobbed quietly in a corner, terrified of what they might do to him.
'LEAVE THE HOUSE WITH YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR.' a megaphone from outside bleared.
the police had arrived and realised this was a hostage situation.
the two men cursed, stupidly forgetting that the three they had sent outside could easily call the police.
'Plan C.' tommy heard one of the men mutter angrily. he then felt one of the men roughly grab his arm and then pull him to his feet. he heard a tap running and before he could process what was going on he felt the man shove him, hard, into a bath of water.
the man removed tommys balaclava. 'cant have you giving away our identities can we now? we'll have to dispose of you.' the man laughed maniacally and placed something really heavy on tommys chest. meaning that no matter how hard tommy tried to come up for air he couldn't.
the man smirked and stalked off.
tommy panicked, he had been without air for almost 30 seconds now and was struggling to keep his body from passing out. he was drowning.
'TOMMY?'he heard a muffled shout.
he felt someone grab him and move the heavy object off his chest.
'TOMMY!' wilbur shouted. he patted tommy's back,
trying to get tommy to cough up the water he had potentially swallowed.
tommy gasped and began crying. 'i'm so sorry, it's okay bud you're safe now.' wilbur said reassuring him.
he picked up tommy and carried him to the lounge where the police where asking phil and techno questions.
'TOMMY.' phil shouted, running over. 'why's he soaked wilbur?' he asked worriedly.
'they tried to drown him.' wilbur replied, 'i assume because they wanted to make sure no one could get a description of their identity?' he added, looking at one of the officers.
'yeah definitely. our officers have caught them, they almost got away but they forgot we had people surrounding the house so they will both be prosecuted don't worry' he sighed, 'we've got a hotel for you, we can't let you stay at a crime scene and we need you to be near the police station anyway.' he gestured for the 4 of them to follow him.
they got into the police car which drove them to the hotel, they checked in and entered their room.
'tommy c'mere.' wilbur said softly.
tommy came and sat next to him, wilbur wrapped his arms around tommy, who was shaking still.
'it's okay tommy, you're safe now.' he whispered.
