I'll Stay Through It All

~Chapter 36

No P.O.V.
(Vincent is 7 and ??? Is 12)

Vincent and ???'s parents were sitting on their family couch reading the newspaper after locking their children in the backyard to play with the scarce toys they were allowed to have.
"Oh no, Dr. RedEye just tied those innocent civilians to a ticking bomb!"
Vincent exclaimed after he set the random action figures next to a small, black, circular plastic ball. "Never fear! Captain Hawk is here to save the day!"
??? lifted the figurine into the air to make it look like it was flying down to save them.
"Well if it isn't my old enemy Captain Hawk." cackled Vincent in a shrill voice moving the villain towards our hero.
"You won't get away with this. Power Beam activate!" He pointed the laser at the villainous figure and a red light beamed at him. "Nooooo!" Dr. RedEye slowly fell to his death as the timer on the bomb still ticked.

Mrs. Willow flipped through the pages of the news when she spotted an ad that would be pleasing to her and her husband. "Honey, look." Mr. Willow looked over to see what his wife gasped about.
'Want free money? Do you have something or someone you don't want?
Give it or them to us and we'll give you cash! Come to 33749 Blank Ave.' "That's interesting. What can we give them?" She gave her husband a grin before glancing at the back door.
"I have a little idea."

The two boys were startled when the back door slammed open. "You two, in the car, now!" Their dad barked orders at them which the obeyed, not wanting to make him upset. After buckling up,
??? swapped confused looks with Vincent who shrugged. "Don't peep a sound until we get there or else." Mom calmly said looking out the front mirror. They both nodded then looked out the window as Dad started up the car and drove off.

-Time Skip-

Dad pulled up to an old, rickety shack that looked like it had been torn down decades ago. A light and screech went off from inside the mysterious shack which worried the children.
"W-Why are we h-here?" question Vincent while hiding behind his older brother that took pro-caution of the surroundings.
"Oh shush now come on."
They did as so entering behind their parents. "Hello?" Dad called out, hiding his wife behind him. Lights flickered before turning completely on, revealing what looked like a laboratory
hidden with in the building.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
"We're here about the ad in the paper."
Vincent and ??? took in every word they spoke, questioning what they were talking about.
"Ah yes, did you bring anything for us?" Mom forcefully grabbed Vincent out from behind his brother and threw him in front of them along with ???.
"I must say, they look good for testing especially the little one.~" The mysterious man cooed before leaning down to the child's level of sight.
"Hey there little fella, you look very nice. I'm Evan, what's your name~?" He chuckled while rubbing his arm up and down in a soothing motion.
??? jumped out in front of his scared little brother and growled at the man. "My, looks like we have a feisty one. I know who we're testing on first~" He looked up at Mrs. and Mr. Willow with an ever-lasting grin before retrieving a giant bag with a green money sign printed on the front.
"Here you are, enjoy." They together, nodded then quickly ran off to the car, threw the bag in the back seat, and drove off. "W-What's g-going on?" Vincent whimpered, tears pricking at his eyes and ready to fall.
"Don't worry about that. Enrique! You know what to do!" Evan shouted to the man that had approached them in a white doctor suit and a black breathing mask that the other man wore as well. Before they could react they blacked out from being knocked out with sleeping gas. They dragged them to the back room and chained ??? to the metal table after rolling one of his shirt sleeves up. They chained Vincent to the wall then waited for them to wake up.
"Good job, Enrique. Well, it's 6:35 enjoy your vacation." Evan waved to his friend as he left the shack to his family that never knew what he did for a living. After an hour or so the brothers began to wake up with a little pain in both their wrists.
"Morning sleeping beauties." He chuckled as he flicked the sharp, pointy end of the needle. "What are you gonna do with that?" ??? wiggled and squirmed to get free, but it was no use.
"Get away from my brother!" Vincent shouted as he writhed in the manacles that constrained him.
"Oh this isn't for your brother, it's for you. Just a little something to help you calm down." He chuckled while walking over to little Vinny who whimpered in fear. "Don't touch him you fucker!" ??? tugged on the chains as much as he could, hoping there was a chance to get loose. Evan ignored him and proceeded to pricking Vincent's skin with the needle making him shout in pain. He soon stopped making sounds, slowly drooping down before sliding down against the wall. "What did you do to him?!" One of the rusty loops of the chain wrapped around ???'s left arm broke apart from all the jerking done to the weak chain.
"Ah ah ah, no braking of the chains." Evan replaced the needle he held with a larger needle then edged closer to him before pinning his arm down and injecting him with the needle.
"Let go of me!" "The
