Rescued

Chapter 14

Alex

John was not going to hear the end of this. I walked through that room and immediately broke at seeing Louis. He looked worse than I did when I'd been in the room to long. Looking at Harry he didn't look much better, he looked physically stronger but weaker and broken in every other aspect.

As soon as I said "let's go home" Harry picked up Louis in a fireman carry and we ran for the stairs. As soon as we were about to leave Harry stopped "wait, I've got to go get Liam" he quickly but carefully got Louis down and he leaned on me for support as Harry ran towards a small room on the corner.

It was then I realized all the scars on his back, clear signs of John working him to be a body guard. There was a new gash on his collar bone as well, I remember helping Brad clean himself up sometimes in the few weeks I was here.

He had started teaching Jake how to fight a few weeks ago, now Jake's off at some military academy with Niall. Which that's our next stop after we grab Zayn. Jasen called the academy and had the boys dismissed. So they should be waiting for us when we get there, they've been there maybe only a week.

"Alex how'd you get here? How'd you get away?" Harry asked as we ran through the hallways to get to the kitchen. I smiled "it's a long story, but I promise I'll explain it all later" we get to the kitchen door and I run in and look at all the cooks "Where's Zayn?!" I ask giving them ally best glare.

The one lady in the back points to the old storage room. Oh jeez, poor Zayn. I run over and throw the door open, the smell hits me first but then I see Zayn on his hands and knees scrubbing away at the floor. "You missed a spot" I say trying to catch his attention.

At this point he throws down his brush and gets up "look, if you think you could do any better..." He turns and stops mid sentence. He looks so unbelievably surprised that I don't believe he's breathing "you ready to get out of here Z?" I ask with a smile.

He walks up to me "I would so give you a hug right now, but I'm covered in slime" he says quietly. I just laugh "come on we've got to go get Niall". I walk back out to where Louis is and look over at Liam "you guys ready? Forget anything?"

Liam shakes his head "if we did oh well, but we so need to find Brad before we leave" Harry nods in agreement "we definitely cannot leave him here" I look at the boys in front of me and smile "then let's go find him"

Brad

For the last couple of days I've been kept in one of the cells, cold cement rooms with bars in the very bottom of John's house. I've had hardly anything to eat but that doesn't worry me. I could care less if I died. My only concern is what is happening to Jake right now, I don't even know where he is. I'm not allowed to know anything.

To be honest I was kinda hoping that I'd be killed when I started hearing explosions outside. But to my surprise they all stopped after a while, not long after they'd stopped a large amount of shouting and noise came from the guard room here. Then when the noise stopped Harry showed up in front of my cell with the keys.

I stood up and walked to the door as he opened it "dude how'd you get out?" I ask walking out of the cell "I saved his butt" I turned around at the voice behind me and smiled "Alex your okay!" I exclaimed giving her a big hug. She hugged me back quickly and then she stepped back "We need to get to Jake and Niall, they're in a military academy not to far from here" she says looking at me.

Jake got sent to a military academy? What did I miss?

We all stood still and waited for Alex to lead the way but someone else was coming in. I was waiting for it to be John but to my surprise it was Jasen. Alex gave him a smile and a quick nod before he turned around and walked out. She was quick to follow him, the rest of us shared a confused look before also running after them.

The fresh air felt good in my lungs as we got out to the middle of the field. A giant helicopter was waiting for us and we quickly pulled in. Is it weird that we haven't seen John during this? Jasen got into the pilot seat and put on his headset "I locked John in a storage closet, he won't be getting out for a while!" He shots over the loud noise of the engine.

I couldn't help but laugh at that. Let's go get Jake. Let's go home.
