How about love?

Let him go.

1 day later.

Julios pov: the second I get the call that my wife has landed I get in my car and drive straight there. I run up to her embrace as she sinks into my chest. I hurry us back to the car so we can get home and get Charlie home as safely as possible. "Heard anything else from the police?" She says as we start to drive off. "Yes. They said they went to the place they thought he would have been but it was empty. They moved locations." I look up at her tears forming in my eyes. "Hey it's ok we will find their new place we will bring him home." She takes my hand and with her other wipes a tear that has escaped my eye and trickled down to my cheek. I give her a smile and squeeze her hand. "I just don't know what I would do with myself if he was-" I stop. "No don't say that! He won't be! He can't be he's our only boy our child. I won't let it happen." I smile at her but she doesn't smile back. "It's ok my love we will find him and bring him back safely." She says with a soft voice barely above a whisper.

Just like that we are back home. We hop out the car and my driver takes all our bags inside and give them to the maid. Vibrating in my pocket. I pick my phone up. "Hello?" I say.
"Hi Julio spring this is the chief of the police department and I just wanted to inform you that we have someone in custody that we caught trying to escape from the warehouse that we presume to be where they were keeping you son. He isn't talking, could you come in and take a look?" He says. "Yes of course me and my wife are on our way." I hang up. "The police?" She asks. "Yeah they have one of the workers of Luke and they want us to go and see him." I place my phone into my pocket and call the driver to take us to the police station. We drive for about 15 minutes before we arrive.

We walk in and are greeted by the chief. "Hi you must be Julio and Jane spring parents and guardians of Charlie spring." He shakes both our hands. "Yes hi. You said you wanted us to come in."
"Yes we wanted you to take a look at the place we found and also there was only 1 person there when we arrived we caught him but he refuses to talk." He turns around. "If you'll please follow me out back we are going to escort you there and then we can try and crack the guy after if that's ok with you two?" He says whilst walking at a fast pace. "Yes of course we just want our son back home as soon as possible." I say calmly. He leads us to where 2 cars are waiting for us. We get in the 2nd one and start to drive. It's about an hour drive and when we arrive I immediately recognise it. "You ok mr spring?" The chief says taking my wife's hand to help her down from the truck. "Yea. It's just, I used to know this guy and I've been here before." He stands next to me. "Let's go have a look inside." He takes lead and we all follow after him with 2 officers staying behind to keep a look out. We walk through the long narrow hallways until we reach a door which looks like it's been broken down. "We think he was in the last cell." The chief says. We walk down to the last one and they turn the small light on that barely lights up half the room. They gave me a torch and told me to look in the far corner against the large pole. I kneel down next to it and examine the chains on the floor thinking of my baby boy in these things begging to be let out. I soon find my wife at my side and she touches the chains and starts to cry into my arms. "It's ok my love we will find him. The people who did this will pay." I stroke her brown silky hair as she cry's into my shoulder. "Let's get you two back into the station." A police officer pats me on the shoulder.

I slowly start to get myself up from the floor before something catches my eye. "Wait." I kneels back down and pick the dark blue blazer off the floor. I spin around on the spot and hug the blazer as if it was him. It's his. "Is that-" my wife starts to say. She takes it from me. Smells his smell but then pulls back and drops it on the floor with a very loud sob. "What is it?" I say. I pick it back up and examine where she was looking. Blood all over the inside of the blazer. I walk over and show the police and they quickly take us out and they take the blazer off of me and they place it in a plastic bag for further investigation. The chief turns to us. "I'm so sorry. I promise we will do everything we can to bring your son back mr and Mrs spring." He gives a reassuring smiling before helping us get back into the cars. We drive off and my wife falls asleep on my shoulder.
We arrive back to the station and we are brought into the room where their prisoner is being held. He sits in a chair handcuffs on his wrists looking down at them. "You're the one who helped take my son?" I say. I didn't let my wife come into the room as I don't want her in danger. "And what?" He replies which surprises me because the officers had said he wasn't speaking a word to them. "Where is her?" I respond sitting down opposite him. He scoffs. "You know something. So your going to tell me or-"
"Or else what? Go on I'm dying to hear what you have in store for me." I'm taken aback but before responding I realised Luke doesn't hire dumb people so there must be a reason on why. "You wanted to get caught didn't you?" He smiles. "You're smarter than you let on." He says keeping his eyes on me. "My boss wanted me to deliver you a message." He sits up straight in his chair. "Your son may still be alive, but you know this isn't about money you know what he wants and you only have 2 days left time is ticking and when that timer is up.. well let's just say at least you'll have one less problem to deal with." He lays back in his chair again. "Give him back." He smiles. Just then 2 police officers come in and lift him out of his chair and start to exit the room with no fuss from him. "Wait what's your name!!" I yell "Ben hope." He sighs out before he's taken away. I'm left In the room speechless. I know what he wants but I can't give that to him! He can't have it but my son..

I don't know what to do. I only have 2 days to make my choice.
