Neko

Rescued

Phil's POV

There were about five different groups of two or more police officers and cars ready to go out to the farm that day where we decided was the best place to look. This case has blown up in the last week, and while no one knows who Dan is, people definitely know about the case, and that its a big issue.

A lot of people have said that we're wasting our time trying to find him, because he's a Neko, but I just pushed their words away, and kept focusing on Dan and the search.

The cops have been so kind, PJ too, and they keep telling me about how Dan still loves me and wants me to find him. I just hope they're right though.

Dan's POV

I fell asleep that night again, actually sleeping well for the first time in what felt like forever. I had fully laid down for the first time in about a week as well, and curled up around Hiro. He slept really well too, which surprised me. Aren't most babies supposed to cry all the time when they sleep or something?

Anyway, Hiro did start to get fussy because he was hungry sometime in the late morning, but I couldn't do anything about that. I hated to see him so upset and know there was nothing I could do about it.

I really hoped Hiro and I would be rescued soon, but I also didn't want to be rescued. How can I trust anyone now, much less the police who are supposedly going to find me.

Late in the afternoon, I heard sirens and knew we would be saved. But I still was scared, and I guess the father in me took over as I held Hiro close so no one could even do as much as see his face. I tried to find something he could eat quickly, because he had begun to cry, but there was nothing around.

However, in searching for that, I saw my glass shard again. I wanted to do it, so, so badly, and I quickly decided to pick it up. I stashed it away in my pocket so I could take it home, wherever that is now...

"Chris Kendall this is the police, and your grandfather's farm is surrounded. Come outside in the next two minutes or we're coming in." I heard a booming voice yell. It sounded like it was being shouted through a mega phone.

I whimpered, and crawled further into the back of my cage, holding Hiro close to me. Those same fear tingles and feelings of horror were coming back; just like the day I first met Phil. No one can be trusted anymore, though, and I'm sure as hell not letting them even lay as much as a finger tip on Hiro.

"Chris Kendall, come outside in the next thirty seconds or we're coming in." another booming voice shouted.

"It's ok, Hiro, you'll be ok." I rubbed his back as he burdied himself into my chest.

I plugged Hiro's ears when they started again, "Three... Two... One." Then I heard many, many footsteps running everywhere.

Some were going past us, some were running from us, and others were running straight to us.

The door slammed open, and I let a tear slide down my face as I held Hiro close to me, in fear they might take him or something rather. "There he is. Get Phil, and you three need to go help Jones." I heard a man's voice instruct.

A few pairs of feet went running away, but two feet calmly walked in my direction from the barn's front.

"Hey, it's ok. I'm Officer Morgan, but you can just call me Derrick." The same voice that instructed the others had said. I peeked up only slightly, and saw him. He looked kind, but so did Phil when I first saw him, and look where I am now.

"Come on out, I won't hurt you." he said, inching closer and closer to the cage. I winced away, and hugged Hiro even closer to me. I ever so slightly peeked up at him and he asked, "What's that?" And nodded towards Hiro. "My baby boy." I said quietly, then watched as he got closer, and closer, and closer to the cage. "Your baby, huh? I don't know you had a child." He said with a kind smile. "I didn't either." I answered quickly. "So is he blood related then?" "I'm not really sure."

He unlocked the cage, and the door swung open slowly. He put his hands up and walked backwards, "It's ok. Come on out."

I wanted to trust him so, so badly, but I stopped myself from doing so. I looked at the open door, then at him, then back to the open door.

I was about to crawl out when someone with pale skin and black hair ran into the barn. I coiled back up and buried Hiro into my chest as if I was protecting him.

"Dan, look. Phil's here." I heard Derrick say, trying to sound excited and encouraging. I looked up, and sure enough, Phil was standing there with a giant smile on his face.

At the top of my lungs, I screamed my heart out, "Get away from me!"

They both jumped a mile in the air, and Phil's face fell so quickly. I've never seen someone go from that happy to that sad in my entire life.

"D-Dan... it's me. I'm Phil, remember when I rescued you, when I saved you from Leah and Rick, when I fired my best friend for you...?" Phil said sounding desperate as hell. The kind of desperate if someone were to come out of a coma, but can't remember who you are. "Yeah I do, but then you made think I could trust you and you made Chris, Leah and Rick kidnap me, you fucking asshole!" I screamed back.

His eyes went wide, with realization, and I could see him begin to cry. He ran out of the barn, and I could hear him sobbing as he ran away. I did feel slightly bad, but he deserved it.

I'll be honest, though I screamed and yelled at him like that, I wanted nothing more but to run into his arms and cuddle and kiss him and just be together again. But I didn't. I didn't dare do that because I was so scared of everything and everyone in that moment that I lost it.

Yes, Phil, I do remember. I remember when you save me when I was falling down. I planned on killing myself that night but you got there quicker than my sadness and misery could. I do remember when you saved me from Rick and Leah. You were my savior, you were my superman and you saved me again. I do remember when you fired your best friend for me, and you were so sad that for the rest of the day we would cuddle and I'd let you cry on my shoulders.

I remember it all, and I'm sorry, but I can't un-remember what you did the night I was kidnapped. you did the worst thing you could've done... and it was earth shattering.

You did nothing.
