Sure enough Jonah/Jones came up with some reason to keep Cam and Johnny behind.
He would have kept Lexi too but she got up early with Elly.
They left with a lot of the kids before sunrise.
"I really wish you would come with us now." Lexi said as Johnny helped her pack.
"I rather we go separate like this.
So I know your safe.
We'll try and come with my dad." Johnny said as he wrapped his arms around Lexi's waist and pulled her as close as he could with her pregnant belly and kissed her.
Than he made hs way down to her belly.
"You take care of mommy for me." Johnny kissed her belly in two different spots for each baby...
The castle was empty all that remaind were Sebastian, Cam,  Johnny and unfortunately Miles stayed behind.
Even Malachi left with the others along with Smith.
Jonah/Jones seemed upset by this.
"Yeah they were saying they needed to get back early for some reason." Sebastian shrugged.
"Well at least you four didn't sneek off." Jonah/Jones chuckled but they could see the anger behind his eyes.
"So when are you heading back Sebastian?" Jonah/Jones asked.
"Me and the boys were thinking of heading out soon." Sebastian said as he took a mouth full of food.
"You three as well?" Jonah/Jones fake pouted.
"Yeah we wanted to catch up with our dad and than we plan to go next week to catch up with mom." Johnny said nonchalantly.
"Well have a safe journey.
Aggy I'll take my meal in the study." Jonah/Jones said as he got up from the table and left.
Before going to the study he stopped in the bed rooms as if making sure things were in order.
He had an odd smirk as he passed the dining hall and into his study.
"I'm going to go pack." Johnny said as he got up from the table.
"I'll join you.
I sent everything with Kay." Cam smirked.
"I just want to make sure I didn't forget anything.
Close the door." Johnny said as they walked into the room Johnny had been staying in.
"Here for one week and you already have a hiding spot.
So what you steal?" Cam smirked.
"Our files.
I snuck back inhis study last night when I got up to go to the bathroom.
He has every medical record on us from when we were three to our last visit.
Look at this the same doctor signed off after the other docs that cared for us like that time you had the flue and Alex rushed you to the ER because you stopped breathing.
Dr. Mcbeth in italy cared for you but this Dr. Ritz also signed off after giving you a trial injection approved by guardian.
Same for me that time he nearly killed me when Gunter was burglering our home with his friend.
Dr.Lang was the oncall Doc.
But this Dr.Ritz again signed off on a trial injection again approved by guardian.
Cam he's been injecting us with something since we were kids.
I checked it twice we have been injected with this stuff every time except our last Hospital visit.
He didn't even have those files.
But the ones he dose have is weird." Johnny said as he walked over to the bed where Cam was sitting.
"What's...
Man I feel like I just got off a spinning ride." Cam half giggled.
They looked at each other wide eyed and instantly went for the door.
"Its locked!" Johnny yelled as he started coughing he looked around and saw a mist coming out of the vent.
"The hidden passage." Cam sugested.
"Its locked too." Cam coughed as he fell against the wall and slide to the floor.
Johnny tried to catch him but he told just fell with Cam in his arms...
Sebastian was getting a few things together Miles was with him in his room helping as they heard the door slam shut and the room filled with a gas that knocked them out instantly...
Johnny came too in a dark room that literally only he could fit in his wrists were chained together infornt and his ankles were chained to the floor, his shoes were gone and the clothes he wore felt all to familiar.
"Cam!?....
Dad!?...
Miles!?" Johnny called out.
He started to cry when he got no response.
Johnny felt around in the dark the best he could.
When he felt that he could pretty much touch every space he relized how small the space was causing him to start hyperventilating.
It was no bigger than the trunk in adult size.
Johnny couldn't stand it he wanted.
Because of how dark it was he couldn't tell if he was lying down or sitting.
When it sunk in that he was in such a tight space he started crying and screaming slamming his own body against the door trying to break it down.
Jonny stopped when he heard keys unlocking the door.
Two men in hazmat suits reached in Johnny couldn't see who they were their masks were tinted.
"You need to calm down Mr. Black." A man with a strong greman accent said.
"Who are you!?
What's going on!?
Where's my brother!?" Johnny demanded.
"All in good time Mr.Black." A doctor said as she walked down the hallway with a syringe.
Her steal blue eyes were so vivid they almost looked silver.
Instantly Johnny had flashes of this woman.
"No!...
You stay away from me!" Johnny yelled and tried to kick Her.
"Must we do this every time you relapse Johnathan?" Dr.Ritz sighed.
Tears streamed as he was injected.
The room started spinning as he passed out...
Cam came too in a room with two beds the room was white and stirile.
He looked down and saw he was dressed like Johnny was when he was in prison.
Cam ran to the door with a small window and started pounding on it.
A man in a white uniform came to the door.
"Sit down on you bed Mr. Black." Cam looked at him like he was odd.
"Mr. Black please sit down." He demaned this time.
Reluctantly Cam complied.
The man walked in with two trays.
"I hear your brother's time out is up he should be returning soon." The orderly looked tough but he spoke soft and calm.
"Wh...
Where am I?" Cam stuttered he cringed at the fact he stuttered.
The man looked down at him with pitty.
"Your in Kings Way mental hospital where you been since you were ten.
It was after you witnessed the murder of your parents and uncles.
You boys where held by the killer for six months chained to a wall.
Don't you remember?" He looked at Cam as tears filled his eyes.
Cam didn't have an emotion to this it was fake what ever this was isn't real.
"Damon you know the rules feed them but don't talk to them thats my job, you could set back a whole weeks worth of work." Dr.Ritz practically hissed but kept her tone calm.
Cam watched as they laid Johnny gently on the bed.
"Cameron?
Look at me.
Good...
Any issues you noticed when serving him." Dr.Ritz asked Damon as she examined Cam.
"He stuttered a little nothing alarming." Damon shrugged as he left the room.
"Any stuttered is alarming we both know that don't we Cam?
Cam how are you feeling?" Dr.Ritz asked as she still knelt infront of him.
"Fine how did I get here?" Cam said as he kept looking at Johnny.
"I see.
Its okay you two do this from time to time.
So what glorious adventure were you two on again?" Ritz half joked.
Cam chose not to answer.
"Its okay I'll let you enjoy your meal with your brother I better scoot before he wakes we all know how he loves me." Dr.Ritz chuckled as she ruffled Cam's hair like he was a child.
"Cam..." Johnny said as he looked over.
Suddenly Johnny was full aware of his surroundings.
Johnny jumped out of bed and started pounding on the door demanding to be let out.
"This doesn't make sense." Cam whispered.
Johnny looked at Cam who looked lost in thought.
"Cam what happened?
What did she do to you?
Do you know where we are?" Johnny asked as he knelt infront of Cam gripping his sholders.
"We are in Kings Way mental hospital.
Aperntly we been here since we were... Here since we were ten.
After we saw mom, dad and our uncles murdered.
We spent six months with the killer chained to a wall apparently." Cam said absently.
Johnny shook his head.
"No thats bull.
You can't tell me our intire life we lived was fake a crazy imagination.
This is one of Jones' tricks." Johnny stared to tear as he grew angry.
"How do we convince them, their doctors?" Cam cried.
"Cam they were hired by Jones, of course we'll never convince them.
Look we play along.
I'll keep my cool so we don't get seperated again.
Nuts get released when they get better so that's what we'll do get better.
Or well convince them we're better.
Man what did he give me?" Johnny fell back as Cam caught him.
Cam helped Johnny to his bed and gave him his tray of food.
Cam moved the night stand out of the middle and pushed his bed up against Johnny's.
"Yeah that's not gonna convince them we're better." Johnny smirked.
"Better than us curling up in one bed." Cam shrugged.
Damon came back in.
"I snuck these for you two." Damon handed them each a chocolate pudding cup.
"Like what you done with the place.
Don't forget your counselling session with Dr.Ritz is at three, today is the team session." Damon reminded them.
"Thanks Damon." Cam smirked.
Johnny recognized him.
"Hey Damon what dose a guy gotta do to get some apple cider around here?" Johnny smirked he knew it wasn't Seth but it was where he met them.
Damon smirked and nodded his head.
"I'll see what I can do your majesty." Damon winked.
Cam looked shocked.
"Dont you remember Seth introduced us to Damon.
Oh yeah you were being giggled at by those girls." Johnny smirked...
"Okay who wants to start first today?" Dr.Ritz asked.
"I guess I could but first can I ask what that place was you had me chained in?" Johnny inquired.
"It was a memory boost.
Remember you told me Young kept you chained in a box till you couldn't breath.
Another time he put you in a small room with cuffs on your wrists and your ankles chained to the floor.
I was trying to get you to remember that moment again.
Sometimes when you relive the memory your mind forms a tangable remembrance snapping you back into reality, once that happens we can start healing.
Look I will be honest I have been seeing excellent results with these experiments with the two of you.
If we stay on track I might be able to get you out and back home." Dr.Ritz said.
"Okay but to be honest can you not do that to me again I really don't like tight spaces I get how you see its helping but I rather we figure a better way." Johnny half pleaded.
"Understandable.
Now how about we talk about what happened in the bedroom last time you just froze." Dr.Ritz looked at the two of them.
"Nope not ready." Cam shook his head.
"He was a pervert so do the math." Johnny glared.
"Okay yes or no did he..." Dr.Ritz started asking
"No!" Both Cam and Johnny responded.
"Not that no." Cam whispered.
"But he did other things...
I see.
Did he ever have you touch him?" Dr.Ritz watched as the tears streamed down there face.
"Look you boys are the victims here.
You didn't do anything wrong.
I wish they could have found you soon but unfortunately they didn't.
I can only imagine the horrendous nightmare you boys lived those six months.
But you were lucky you both survived, you were kept together.
In most cases victims like you would have been killed.
I know you might not feel lucky its understandable.
No wonder you created that fantasy world it was your minds way to cope to keep being children.
But boys its time to come back into reality." Dr.Ritz calmly spoke as she sat on the desk infront of them.
She was acting motherly to them.
"We get it.
We were just talking about it before our session.
We are ready to put that all in the past and move forward." Johnny said with a shy smirk he was putting on an act but Dr.Ritz didn't notice.
"Good I am very pleased to hear that.
I'll start cutting back your meds and well see how you react if you do good for a month I'll see if I can get you released to your family Archive with supervision of course.
Now I understand it is difficult to speak about what Young did to you.
What he did doesn't make you lees of a man neither of you.
He was a sick man praying on two little boys.
Now I want you to at least try and write it down for me in these note books.
It can be a word that discribes, you can hint if you want I totally understand.
Tell you what here are two more these are your personal ones keep them for yourself.
I nor any of the staff will be permitted to read it." Dr.Ritz wrote their names and Privet on it.
"Go ahead out to the lawn you two need some sun." Dr.Ritz smirked.
"She seems nice." Cam shrugged as they walked on the path.
"So did Jones as he pretended to be Jonah.
Cam what is going on here this doesn't make any sense?" Johnny said as they walked.
"Well last I remember you were showing me those files with Dr.Ritz's signature.
The room got filled with some kind of gas every exit was sealed and we passed out." Cam sighed as he sat on the bench over looking the pond.
"Yep thats what I remember too.
We should have all left with Lexi and mom." Johnny sobbed in his hands as
Cam rubbed his back.
He too was crying silently.
"I hope dad and Miles are okay.." Cam whispered.
"You to better start heading in its getting late." Carson smirked.
He put his finger to his lip for them to not react.
As he led them back he explained everything to them...
