The Trackers

Together Again

Chapter 3

Layne's POV

I hear crying from down stairs, then a crash. The crying stoped for a moment the started again only louder.

"God, SHUT UP" I heard Aaron scream, the crying didnt stop. I moaned and roled over to my left side facing the wall. I shoved a pillow over my head to drowned out the crying and screams from Aaron telling the kid to shut up. I closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep.

It wasnt ten minutes later when my door swang open, banging against the wall. "Get up" Aaron said in a tired and angry voice. "The kid wont shut up and she wont eat anything at all. She just keeps crying and screaming" I ignored him and with a grunt i closed my eyes again. "GET. UP." He yelled, I had forgotten how easily he was to anger. He throw something at my back, not to hard but hard enough.

I grunted again and rolled to the end of my bed rubbing the sleep from my eyes with the back of my hands. There was a shoe at my feet, kicking it out of the way I sat up and pushed off the bed and stumbled to my dresser. Picking up a random shirt and a pair of shorts, i then walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower.

I stepped out of the cold water and changed into my clothes, drying my dark hair with my towel. I tossed the towel in to the hamper, shoving past Aaron and walked out of the room. I jogged down the steps, followed by him and into the living room which now had an old crib for the kid. She was crying when she looked up and saw us. Her eyes were red from the crying and she had tear streaks down her face, her hair was messy and matted to her forehead.

"I WHA MY SISSY, I WHA HUR" she cried.

"If I put you with your sister will you shut up" she nodded and wiped her face. I walked over and picker up, putting my handsnh under her sholders and held her arms length away from my body. "Grab the blanket" I said to Aaron. He picked up the blanket along with some type of food and followed behind me. It was green and chunky, I was guessing it was peas.

I carried the kid down into the basement and walked over to her sister. She sat up immediately, and then put a hand to her head. I laughed, her head must still hurt from hitting the concrete last night. Aaron tossed the blanket to the ground and handed Ashton the bowl of mushed peas. "Feed her" Aaron said coldly, I could tell he was still annoyed about the kid. She nodded and sat the bowl beside her and fixed the baby blanket so that is was flat on the ground and laying right in front of her.

I sat the kid down on the blanket. I still wasn't sure of her name, not that I cared we just needed them for information. She grabed the blanket and crawled into her sisters lap, throwing her armes arond her neck. Ashton held her tighly, rubing her back and repeatedly kissing her forehead and cheek. She took her sister's head in her hands and pulled her away, wipping the hair out of her eyes and checking her for any bruises. She probably did this because of the screaming and crying she'd heard from up stairs.

"Oh god, we didnt hurt the kid, she just wouldnt shut up" Aaron said as he turned and walked up the stairs. The door slamed causing Ashton and her sister to jump. They were huging each other again like they have been seperated for a month instead of a day. Ashton was rocking her sister when she looked up at me.

"Can she just stay down here with me.." she trailed off and looked at her surroundings, then continued. "..or can i stay up there with her?"

I looked between the two. She was still rocking her and was rubbing her back rhythmically. Why did she act like this, sure shes scared for her but, we made a deal that we wouldnt hurt her. Unless she scews up, but still i didnt know why shes so protective. Maybe because she grow up without a father, its like she fills that hole in her heart with her sister. Her father... I wonder how she would react if she found out he had...

"Ca..can i?" she asked again interrupting my thoughts.

"No, not now, but maybe soon. It all depends" I said, her face fell and confusion washed over her features.

"What all depends?" She asked. I sighed and looked into her pleading eyes.

"It all depends on the information you give us." I said flatly "You have 2 hours" I turned and left.

Ashton's POV

What information? What did they want to know? I didnt know anything important.

"Sissy? Cun we go home no?" She mumbled into my neck. I smiled at the way she spoke, it reminded me of home. I shook my head and kissed her cheek.

"No sweet heart, we can't, not yet." I aswered, she pulled back and looked up at me, even though her eyes always seemed to made her look happy, they didnt now. Her eyes began to water and a tear fell down her cheek. I wiped it away with my hand.

"bu, I wanna see mama an daddy" Her voice quivered. I huged her tight and she burried her head in my shoulder.

"I know baby, I know, we'll go home soon." I said, picking up the bowl. "Now can you eat for sissy?" I asked. She looked at the bowl and slowly nodded. I took the spoon and fed her a small bite. She chewed slowly before swallowing and looked up at me. "Nummys" she said and rubbed her stomach with a smile. 

"Thats good" I fed her a few more bites then she insisted she feed herself. " Like a biiiig gurl like you, sissy" She said with a smile.

She finished and my stomach growld. As if on que, the door upstairs was unlocked and then three guys came down. Layne was carrying a pizza box and my stomach growled again. Two men stood behind him, one i had never seen before, although he looked oddly familiar. The other man was his friend, I still didnt now his name.

Layne but the pizza box in front of me, but i was destracted with the other man. His eyes were a light green and he had the same black choppy hair cuts as the rest of them. He was much taller than the other men, and if i stood up he would still be a good 2 feet taller than my 5.2 inches.

I tore my gaze away from his familiar features and opened the box of pizza. It had about one fouth of the pizza left so it was obvious that they had already eaten. I picked up the peice and took a bite, My thoughts were still on the man. I finished the pizza quickly and started on another. Lilly crawled back into my lap, facing the men and leaning against my chest.

"Whas you names?" she asked.

Layne answered her "My name is layne, this is Aaron" he said pointing to his friend." and this is Mike. He is the boss, you must listen to him." He pointed to the other man standing at the bottom of the stairs. He was clearly telling me this.

"Ohw" My sister said, I looked up at 'Mike' as i finished my second peice of pizza. He stared back at me and smiled darkly. Then the memorize came flooding back to me all at once. His smile had reminded me who he was. I wrapped my sister in my arms and pulled her even closer to me, protectively. He was the man that was holding my sister that night. He was the one that had taken her out of my arms. He had planed this all along. Mike come closer and all three men sat on the floor, one foot away from me and my sister.

"We need to ask you some questions" He said flatly.
