Otis's Phone Call

Dante's Pov

I am completely stressed out right now, and not to mention very sleep deprived. Me and the others were up all night. Trying to figure out what just happened last night. Let me recap on what happened for those of you who don't remember. Someone got ahold of my number, and told us he had Milo. And I say he because the voice sounded like a man. And his name was Otis, so that's definitely a male we were speaking to. When we didn't believe him, we then heard faintly heard a voice in the call. Although faint, it sounded exactly like Milo. Before we could ask any more questions, he hung up. Sounding panicked, not wanting him to know that he called us. And before you say anything about Milo being hurt. This Otis man, clearly stated that he wasn't hurting Milo. Or had any intentions of hurting him at all.

But what's worrying me most is how long that he had Milo for. And how frantic he sounded when Milos voice came out in the background. Like, he didn't want him to see he was talking to us. Even lying about how his boss was chewing him out. Something is off...and I can feel it. Before I could even think about anything else. My phone starts to ring, I instantly pick it up.

It was that number again.

Otis Pov

"Ok, Otis. Calm down, you can do this" I then told myself as I held my phone to my ear. As well as my breath, I was so nervous I forgot how to breathe. It took a while, but then someone answered the phone. "Hello" someone then says. "Hello, is this Dante again" I then asked. "Yes this is him. Are you Otis" he then asked. "Yes, this is him speaking" I then said "how are you doing today". "Not doing any better, unfortunately" I then said "but I wanna be straight to the point. How is Milo doing". "He's doing great, he's sick. But he's doing very well on the most part..." I then said. "How is he sick. What kind of sickness dose he have" Dante said, sounding very worried. "Don't worry, he just had the flu. I've been giving him medication for it. As well as soup and lots of fluids" I then said, reassuring him "so you don't have to worry, Dante. I'm taking very good care of him". I hear a sigh of relief, before he spoke again. "Alrighy...that sounds good" he then says "but, has he been okay mentally". I paused for a moment. Wondering if I should tell him about how much pain Milo is in. "I...I'm not sure if I should tell you" I then said. Bad idea, since he let out a low growl.

"Look Here" he then exclaimed "I don't care if you don't want to tell me yet. Nor I don't care if you think you have the right to hold secrets from me. But this my boyfriend were talking about. So is his other boyfriends that are sick and worried about him. So either you tell me how he's doing. Or I swear to god I'll rip your head right off your neck". "Look, I know your upset and wanna know where the whereabouts of your boyfriend. But if I tell you, he's gonna know something is up. Once I tell a secret, it's hard for me not to look like I have told a secret. I look guilty, too guilty for me to hide the fact that I told someone's secret. Especially Milos. Who knows what he'll do or how he'll react to the fact I told him I talked to you or his other two boyfriends..." I then tried to explain. But in the middle of my sentence. He let out a growl of frustration. Before...letting out a couple of sobs.

"Please...a...I just wanna know how he is" he then sobbed out "please...we just can't stand a day longer without knowing his current state". I went silent, hearing his cries made me realize how bad his mental state is. And how bad this situation really messed things up for Dante and the other two. I sighed , before telling him the truth. "Listen, he's not mentally ok. He's broken, constantly crying at night. Wishing he could see you guys again. He thinks that I don't know, but I do. And I just can't bare seeing him like that everyday. It just breaks my heart" I then explained "last night, when I called you. He was crying, sounding more heartbroken than ever".

He was silent again, before he let out a long sigh. "Shit..." he then said "do you know how long he's been like that". "I'm not sure, it's kinda hard to tell" I then said "but, maybe a couple of weeks or so". "You sure" he then asked "you sure you truly don't know". "Yes sir, I truly don't know. All I know is how he ended up here and the situation that put him here" I then said "but I do know that he misses you. Even though he says that he thinks that you're happy without him. I know you're not, and he feels the same". "That's why I want him home" he then says "I want him back in my arms so bad". We were silent again. I was trying to find my words and gather them into a sentence that would be more helpful for him.

But he seems to beat me to it. "So...we're are you right now" he then asked. "I'm at work, I'm not busy right now. So, I thought it would be a great time to call you" I then said "I didn't want him to know that I was calling you. So I don't scare him to another country. That was why I hang up when he walked in last night". "Yeah, heard him in the background. God it's been so long since I've heard his sweet voice of his" he then says "and I just want to shove my arms through this screen to just pull him through and give him a big hug". "I know, I know how you feel" I then say "even though I haven't been in a relationship yet. I know how it feels missing someone".

I hear a knock on my door. I turned to see who it was. Since my door at my job has this glass window. It was one of my employees. Motioning me that I had to come with them. I held up one finger to say that I needed a minute. They nodded before walking away. "Hey, I gotta go. I need to do something" I then said "I'll talk to you when I get the chance". "Alright, goodbye" he then says, before I hanged up.

Dante's Pov

"Who were you on the phone with" I then hear a voice say. Startling me a bit, I looked up. It was Alex. "Jesus Christ, Alex" I then exclaimed "don't scare me like that". "Whatever...who were you talking to" he then asked "who was that". "Jesus, calm down and let me talk" I then said "it was that Otis guy. "Really" he then exclaimed "what did he say. Where's Milo. Where...". "MY GOD" I then yelled out "SHUT UP AND LET ME TALK". He went silent, before I then started to explain the situation to him.

One Hour Later

"HES ALL THE WAY IN NORWAY" I yelled out "WHAT IS HE DOING OUT THERE". "I'm not sure Dante. I questioned him myself. He said it was the furthest he could go" I then said. "But it's freezing cold over there at this time of year, isn't it" I then asked "he could freeze to death". "I assure you, he isn't gonna freeze. But he is gonna keep getting sick in this weather" Otis then said. Before I could speak again. My phone was snatched away from my hands. I looked to see who took my phone. It was Garrett, looking emotionally desperate to say something. "Otis...it would mean the world to me if you could let me and the others see him. So please, tell me where he is so we can see him again" Garrett then says "please, I'm begging you. Where is he staying. Where is he...". Before he could finish, I took my phone back. But, he was right. We were all desperate to see his face again. To hold him in our arms and kiss him again.

He was silent for a while. Before he spoke the words that made his jump from our seats. "Ok, follow my instructions. You're gonna need it. Land in Oslo international airport in Gardermoen. Then drive straight to Bærums Verk. And meet me at my mechanics office" he then says "when we see him, please take it slowly. I don't wanna scare him". I don't know how many times I thanked him. Before hanging up. Then the next thing you know. We're immediately up and packing our things. And getting three tickets to Norway which had planes going out today.
