The Stolen Brothers

Chapter 12: A Father's Fight for His Children

Dad's Pov

I looked at my phone and then at the tall building. Guess this is it. I'm coming, kids. I clicked the ear piece and I heard Eli's voice. "Can you hear me?" Eli asked me. "Yeah I can hear you." I said, and he chuckled. I then turned on the tiny camera that was on my black sunglasses so Eli could see what I'm seeing.

I got out of the car and looked around. I saw kids being lined up and some dude ordering them around. I then heard a door being opened. I turned to see a man walking down the large steps and he held his hand out for me to shake. I shook it and he smiled.

"Hi I'm Danny the owner." He said, and I nodded. "I'm James." I introduced myself, and he nodded. "I already know." He said, then guided me inside.

There was a black grand staircase and lots of statues and paintings. He opened the door to his right and I saw a lot of guys in uniforms smoking and playing cards.

"Guys this is James Harrison." Danny told them, and they all looked at me and I gave them a small smile. They didn't return it, instead they went back to what they were doing.

"You're in charge of the third floor, make sure there are no kids acting out, breaking the rules, if they so much look at you the wrong way you're allowed to punish them. Group the kids to do their chores after lunch. If you feel like sending them to the treasure room you do so. " He told me, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I couldn't speak cause if I spoke I'd be fired and I won't be able to get Noah or Milo. So I just nodded.

"Off you go then here's your uniform." He then handed me some clothes and a baton. "For the kids." He said, as he smirked.

I went to the nearest bathroom and changed. I quickly got out and Eli began talking to me. "Remember what I told you, whatever they say you do it but don't actually do it." He told me, and I nodded.

I began walking upstairs looking around for Milo and Noah as I did so. I heard some screaming and yelling. "Ignore it if they see you trying to help a kid out then you're out of there." Eli told me, I nodded but felt guilty as I walked away.

I finally got to the third floor. It was an empty hallway filled with metal doors. I saw two other guards standing at each corner.

"You must be the newbie." One of them said, and I nodded. "I'm Korbin and he's Max." Korbin said, as he pointed to Max. I nodded and he told me to go to the other corner.

"Guess what? I fucking told Dominic to fucking polish my damn shoes and what does he do throws them in the fucking mud." Korbin said, as his face grew red in anger. "I bet he got what he deserved." Max said, and Korbin nodded then chuckled.

"That kid won't be fucking walking for about a month." Korbin laughed, and I felt like throwing up. Poor kid.

I saw a boy walking out of his room with some books in his hand as he passed Max. The man shoved the books out of the boy's hands. The boy didn't say anything but pick the books back up and walk away.

"That's not the worst you'll see so you gotta stay strong." Eli said, and I nodded. "Get your fucking hands off of me or so help me I'll kill you motherfucker!" I heard a boy shout.

Korben and Max began running. I ran after them. I saw some boy with blonde hair kicking and punching at a different guard.

Max hit the kid in the back with his baton but the kid didn't stop fighting the guard. Then Korbin began punching the kid until he blacked out. "I fucking hate kids they're like annoying bugs." Max said, as Korbin dragged the kid by his feet, a trail of blood followed behind them.

"Where are they taking him?" I asked Eli. "Isolation room." Eli said, and I shuddered. I began walking back to my spot when I saw a familiar face. Milo?
