Collin's Crew III

Chapter 14

Mason's POV

The third day Nick was gone I felt obligated to tell my parents that he isn't to be located. I was shit scared and honestly Blu was due soon. This was the worst time for it to happen.

Blu finding out wasn't ideal. Her doing her own investigating wasnt ideal either because she was almost 9 months pregnant. If Collin did not see her at that bar talking to Ryan we wouldn't even know. Cleo and I went to get her as Nick would want us to make sure she was fine. Besides, we cared about her safety I guess? She was what made my little brother happy so I put our differences asides a while back.

We fed her and kept checking in with her eventhough she literally became like a zombie.

"Hi mom." I say walking into the house. Mom sat in her pyjamas on the couch covered in paper and her laptop was on the floor. "Hey dad." I say looking at him as he walked into the livingroom. "Hey son." He says patting my shoulder. "Justin is finally asleep. After 30 stories." He says and I chuckle. It was 10 oclock.

"So whats up." My mom says and I sit down.

"We cant find Nick." I say and my mom stops going through her papers and looks at me. "Huh? What do you mean?" My dad asks

"Well... eh. So.."

"Has he left again? What happened? Is he okay? Mentally?"

"No he is kind of kidnapped." I say scratching the back of my head. "What?" My parents say at the same time. "What do you mean kidnapped?"

"He's alive. But we just don't know where. I promise though we're on it. We'll find him as soon as we can. We kind of got a lead."

"Mason- youre serious? We have to do something. We need to call the police."

"Mom you cant. You know that will just get them to arrest us." I say and she sighs. "What the hell." My father says. "What are we supposed to? Just wait for him to return?"

"Trust me that I'm going to bring him home safe." I say

"Trust you. Mason you and your friends are the ones who dragged Nick into that world of yours. How many times did we talk."

"So you think Nick wouldn't be in fucking jail for murder by now without me keeping him busy?"

"Busy with what!" She says as she starts crying. "I can't do this. I cannot go through this."

"Mom whats up?" I ask as I walk into the kitchen. There was construction going on. Pool was being build and an extension to the house creating 3 more rooms and a pool house.

"Hey." She says as she sat down. She had the same shirt on I saw her with 5 days ago. Her hair was a mess and she wore just socks. No pants. "You got a hangover?" I ask and she shakes her head. "No." She lies.

"Okay." I say not poking the bear. "Nick is gone all night. He comes home with blood on his shirt and drugs in his pocket." She says. "I went through this with you a year ago Mason." She says and I sigh siting down. I knew she was going to shout at me. "What are you doing with your life sweety. You could do so much more. This will get you in jail or will get you killed."

"Mom relax. Has Nick been in trouble the last 2 months since he started hanging out with me? Any police officers bringing him home? Any fights? Any school expulsions?"
