**Jayy P.O.V**

    It's been weeks since Ash and Cam were abducted, but honestly it feels like it's been an eternity. Not a day goes by without one of us calling out for them, but once we realize that they aren't here everyone's mood immediately goes down hill. I honestly can't remember the last time someone in this house smiled, like, and actual genuine smile... And I don't think anyone will crack a smile here anytime soon. God, the thought of losing your daughter is one thing, actually having it happen is truely one of the most unbearable things ever.
    Late one night, I was in the kitchen cleaning and putting up dishes when all of a sudden I heard a rapid, yet soft-ish knock came from the front door. At first I kind of blew it off, but the knocking continued. After a few minutes I finally got sick and tired of it and ran over to the door. Looking out of the peep-hole, I noticed that there was no one there, yet I kept hearing someone knocking. I finally gripped onto the door knob and threw it open.
    Standing in front of me was a small, very malnutricianed toddler. He had dull blue eyes and matted blond hair, his clothes were filthy and torn and he had some kind of letter/paper in his hand. He looked up at me, tears slowly dripping from his eyes and down his cheeks. I felt my eyes widen as I fell to my knees and wrapped my arms around the kid and pulled him close to me.
    "Camden... Cam... Is it really you..?" I whispered as my voice cracked.
    He buried his head into my chest as he gripped onto my jacket. "Un.. Uncle Jayy..," he cried softly, "I-I've mi-missed you...."
    I quickly picked him up and brought him to the kitchen. I gently placed him onto the table and ran to the sink to get a wet, soapy cloth. As I started to wash his face, I noticed that there were some marks that wouldn't come off, as I got a closer look, I saw that they were bruises. Oh my god... What the hell happened to him..?
    "Cam... How did you... What happened to you..?" I asked as I continued to wash his skin.
    He looked at me with fear and pain written all over his face, he stayed quiet for a while until he finally spoke up and said something about bad men doing really bad things to him and his mommy ; but he also said that one of the bad men brought him here and that the man was the one who wrote the letter. He told me about some of the things that they did to him, which are way to painful for me to even imagine. 
    As Cam finished talking, he brought his knees up to his chest and sat there, completely motionless. I sat down in a chair next to him and gently rubbed his back as I took the letter from him and began to read... When I finished, I slipped the paper into my pocket as I gently picked Cam up once again and quietly brought him upstairs. I stepped into Dahvie and I's room and walked to the bathroom. I set Cam down on the toilet seat and started up the bath. As I waited for the tub to fill up, I knelt down in front of Cam and gently started to comb through his hair.
    "Hey, I'm going to give you a quick bath okay? So you can be completely clean, I'll get you some band-aids to put on your boo-boo's. Are you okay with me doing that?" I asked softly as I moved his hair from his face.
    He looked up and slowly nodded. I smiled and gently patted his head. "I'll even get Uncle Dahvie to make you some food, are you hungry?"
    Cam's eyes immediately lit up as his stomach let out a loud growl, and I swear I saw his mouth start to water. I chuckled a little and told him that I'll get Dahvie up and that I'll be back to give him his bath. I stood up and quickly ran out of the bathroom and over to the bed, where Dahvie was sleeping. I knelt down next to him and shook him violently. It didn't take long until he finally rolled over and looked at me with his eyes half-open.
    "Wh... What the hell is it Jayy..?" He muttered as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
    "Cam's here! He's really hungry, you have to go fix him something to eat! Now!" I exclaimed as I pulled him out of bed.
    "Damn it Jayy, it's cold! And what do you mean? Cam is GONE and so is Ash! You know this as well as I, and they are NEVER coming back!" He shouted as he tried to lay back down.
    "NO! Listen, please just do this! I'll explain everything in a bit, just, please do this for me.. Please!" I begged.
    He gritted his teeth as he pulled on some sleep pants as he stumbled out of the room and down the stairs. I let out a sigh of relief and quickly sprinted back to Cam. It took about fifteen minutes to completely bathe, wash his hair, and dry him off. I wrapped a large, warm towel around him as I brought him into my room. I quickly ran to his room, which hasn't been touched since he went missing, and got him some clean PJ's as well as other necessities. Once he was fully dressed, I brought him downstairs and into the kitchen.
    As soon as we stepped through the doorway, Cam was almost attacked by both Dahvie AND Ryan. But I quickly picked him up before they could touch him.
    "Guys, what the hell, can't you see that he's pretty much nothing but a twig now? And Ryan, why are you up?" I asked as I looked at both of them.
    "I... I over heard you and Dahvie talking and I wanted to know if it was true or not... But instead of bothering you, I came down here to help Dahvie..." Ryan said with a slight smile on his face. "But... He's alive... My son's alive! And if he survived, surely Ash is alive too!" He exclaimed, the smile on his face growing larger.
    I smiled and nodded a little as I set Cam down in one of the dining room chairs. Dahvie then placed a plate of food in front of him, which he took absolutely NO time devouring everything in front of him. As he ate, I brought Ryan and Dahvie over a little ways away from Cam, so he couldn't hear us.
    I pulled the letter out of my pocket and handed it over to the guys and had them read over it, as soon as they were done, Ryan immediately pulled out his phone and started to dial 9-1-1, but before he could hit the call button I snatched the phone from his hands.
    "What the... We NEED to call the police! NOW!" He whispered violently as he tried to get his phone back.
    "We can't... Not right now... Let's at least wait until Cam is asleep." I suggested as I gave him his phone back.
    He tried to protest, but I finally managed to get him to calm down and go with my plan... It didn't take long though, Cam finished eating and was obviously tired. Ryan picked him up and brought him up to his room, minutes later he came back down, saying that Cam was out-cold. Now... Now, we save Ash.
    Hopefully we aren't to late.
