3rd Person
[No neighbor in this chapter thanks to Anthony knocking him out in the last chapter!]
Brian and David walked quietly to the first bathroom they saw. David clutched onto his baseball bat like his life depended on it.
"This is BigJigglyPanda and I have good news, over," Crackled Anthony's voice through the walkie talkies.
"What's the news? Over," Brian asked through the walkie talkie.
"Neighbor is knocked out," Anthony said. "Not sure for how long, but we've definitely got a few minutes before we have to worry about him. Over."
"How many people are out of the house? Over," David asked.
"Just two, so far, Bryce and Joe, over," Brock said on the walkie talkie.
"Good, more people to help Evan, over," said Jon.
"How many locks are unlocked? Over," Luke's voice crackled in.
"Three," Said Tyler. "Anthony and I just unlocked the third one. Over."
"Alright, boys, keep going, we're almost there, over," Said Ryan.
The walkie-talkie line went quiet. David and Brian looked at each other before beginning their search for a key.
David checked the drains while Brian looked through each cabinet carefully. There was nothing, so the two moved on.
"Who needs t'is many bat'rooms if t'ey live alone?" Brian said out loud to himself and David.
"A psychopat' who kidnaps kids," David replied.
Brian looked at the small Captain America shield on his arm. He brought it in for protection, but it wouldn't do much. It was just a piece of plastic. Very flimsy plastic, at that.
David looked a little more prepared to fight off Mr. Wilson. He had a foam sword and plastic ax strapped to his back and a decent wooden bat in his hands. Brian just had a little nerf gun and his plastic shield.
It wasn't like they could do anything else, though. They were kids. That's why they were searching bathrooms in the first place.
Months ago, when Evan first disappeared, the kids kept insisting Mr. Wilson had been the one to take Evan. The police obviously hadn't searched long enough to find anything against the guy. The kids doubted they even tried to get a search warrant to do more than a quick walk-through.
Brian opened a medicine cabinet and found exactly what he expected: Medicine.
"Find anyt'ing?" Brian asked David.
"No, not yet," David sighed.
Brian sat down on the closed toilet and looked around for a moment. His eyes scanned the shelf above the tub, which was littered with various bath products. Brian cocked his head and then stood up again.
"What are ye doing?" David asked.
"We never checked the bottles," Brian said, taking the cap off a bottle of shampoo.
Brian and David started to look in soap bottles and medicine containers. They picked through boxes in the bathrooms and kept looking in regular places.
"Brine, Brine, look!" David said happily.
Brian walked over to the other boy and looked at the pill bottle in his hands. Inside the bottle was a shiny metal key.
"We got it!" Brian said happily.
Brian and David ran out of the third bathroom (seriously who needs that many bathrooms when they live alone?). They ran to the door and started trying the key on every lock.
[Coin Flip! Is it the right key? Heads = yes, tails = no] [Result: heads]
Brian jammed the key into a lock and turned it. The two rejoiced over the sound of a *click*. Brian and David ran off quickly, before the neighbor could wake up and get to them. They told their friends that the fourth lock was unlocked and they were a step closer to getting Evan back.
Just a few more locks to go and they'd have Evan back. Just a few more locks and it'd all be over.
