Little Louis

Part 20

Louis wakes and he's still in little headspace, he's in a dark room and his body hurts, he whimpers

"Daddy" Louis calls but he gets no answer,

The tears come then, he's so scared and has no idea where his daddies are. He begins to panic, he feels unsafe. He gets up shakily and nearly falls over, he's only three and he can't really comprehend what's going on, he doesn't know what to do other than cry and call for his daddies.

The basement door opens at Louis calls and Troy walks in. He's drunk and has a smirk on his face. He's in ratty old jeans and a jumper and looks and smells awful. Louis gasps and his breathing picks up.

"I'd shut the fuck up if I were you" Troy says darkly.

Louis stops his yelling instantly.

"Where my daddies?" Louis asks brokenly.

"Your daddies?" Troy mocks.

Louis nods his head.

"Your daddies don't want you any more, they hate you and think you're nothing but a little shit so they gave you back to me" Troy says.

Louis doesn't understand, his daddies love him. Louis looks at Troy shattered.

"They've replaced you, you're nothing do you understand" Troy says.

Louis holds back a sob, his daddies hate him, he must of made too much of a mess at home.

"Now that you belong to me again, there will be none of this 'little' shit, do you remember what happens when you're a little?" Troy asks venomously.

Louis has never been little like this around Troy but his words trigger flashbacks of beatings.

"That's right Louis, I'm going to beat it out of you" Troy says.

Louis backs up scared out of his mind as Troy approaches him. Troy grabs Louis arm tightly so he can't escape and he starts his assault, he backhands him across the face and Louis falls to the ground. It takes five minutes of abuse for Louis to slip out of headspace, when he does he cries out in agony.

"Stop please, Troy stop" Louis yells.

Troy bends down and pulls Louis hair back, looking him straight in the eyes.

"Don't you ever slip again you fucked up faggot, understand" he snarls.

Louis nods his head and Troy pushes Louis harshly to the ground.

"Fucking fag" He spits as he leaves the basement and locks the door behind him.

Louis loses it then and sobs his eyes out, he tries to remember what happened, he fits a few pieces together but his head is so sore. Louis crawls over to the corner where he throws up continuously. He's sick and warn out, so, so tired. He doesn't know what to do other than let his body fall into darkness hoping to get some relief from the pain.

Troy continues his assault on Louis for three days, Louis is kept cold, alone and without food or water in the basement. Louis has stopped himself from slipping so many times it's warn him out completely, he's getting sicker and sicker the more he denies himself and it's becoming extremely dangerous. Troys taunts and abuse add to the danger and mess with Louis emotions, he's being emotionally abused as well, which can do more harm to a little than anything physical.

Meanwhile Harry and Edward are beside themselves, they haven't slept much and just want Louis back. The police and social services have been working tirelessly around the clock to find Louis, having Edward so high up in the ranks is helping everything push forward faster. Harry can't get the fear in Louis eyes when Troy grabbed him out of his mind, He just wants his boy back, just wants to hold him in his arms and kiss him and protect him.

"We're going to find him baby I promise" Edward tells Harry kissing his head.

He's been telling Harry that for three days and Edward knows the more days that pass Louis chances become less and less. Harry is beside himself and Edward isn't much better but they are both trying to be strong for each other.

The call comes in on day four, the black van has been spotted by a neighbour at a house in Redfern, the dodgy part of town.

"Let's go boys" Edward says as he gathers everything he needs.

"I'm coming too" Harry says.

"Bring your kit H, god knows what we are going to find" Edward chokes.

Harry swallows thickly at that but never the less grabs his kit. They make their way to Edwards squad car and he and the other six cars speed off towards the address, hoping to God they find Louis Alive and okay.

They pull up to a run down shit hole, it's falling apart and the police waste no time before they are going in guns blazing inside the house. Harry and the other ambulance officers stay back until they get the all clear. Harry bites his nails in anxiousness, he needs to get to his boy.

Edward follows the squad inside guns drawn, it's quiet inside the house and it smells disgusting, there is food and filth everywhere the house is so dirty. Edward has his heart in his Throat as they check every room. There is no sign of Louis anywhere. They make their way into the lounge room where they find Troy on the couch.

"Suspect found unconscious, send in paramedics" Drew radios in.

Harry wastes no time at that and follows the two ambulance officers into the house, holding in his disgust at the place. He reaches Edward and sees Troy on the couch, he's Blue around the mouth and it's no surprise that the ambulance pronounce him dead.

"No pulse, drug overdose by the looks of these track marks" Lucy the ambulance officer says.

"How longs he been dead for?" Drew asks.

"Not sure, 10 hours maybe" Lucy says.

"Where the fuck is Louis" Edward asks the room.

"Boss" Edward hears Jax yell from behind him, down in the basement.

Harry and Edward look at each other and bolt for the basement, hoping to God their boy is okay, they race down the steps with four officers behind them, they meet Jax in the basement, he's kneeling on the ground and Harry and Edward nearly lose it at the sight.
