tapped on the windows calmly.
as soon as he saw their figures disappear behind the trees he ran.

into the Kaspbrak main house, where things were just as quiet. it was one of those moments, when you know that everything is about to hit and it weighs heavily like a brick on your chest.  As Richie bursts into the living room, soaked in rain water and a look of panic on his face, that feeling settles in.

Frank sat on the couch reading some papers, and as soon as he saw the way Richie looked at him he knew. it finally happened. "where?"

"we were in the driveway, i couldn't see who it was but they had a gun and Eddie went with them." Richie paused to catch his breath, "they went into the woods"

Frank set his paper aside and looked at Sonia who already knew what to do as she picked up the landline. he walks past Richie, "go to the Denbroughs, tell them i'm ready."

Richie raises an eyebrow but gets no further explanation as Frank leaves. He follows orders and goes back out to the mustang, speeding out of the driveway. he picks up the phone in the center console and again, dials the only number he knows

"Hello?"

"Stan, it's Richie. I..." he trails off, not even knowing where to start. the thought that Eddie could be in danger or hurt right now makes him emotional.

"is something wrong? where are you?"

Richie sighs and struggles to drive and think, "Eddie was taken and i'm going to Bills, Frank told me to," he sees Bills house in the distance, "i need help, meet me there please." he hangs up the phone just as he pulls up to their house.

The lights inside are still on and the porch lite shines a beam down on Bill, who stands outside smoking a cigarette. he cocks his head as Richie quickly approaches him, "you l-look like hell."

Richie nervously runs his fingers through his hair, "are you parents home?"

Bill takes a puff and shakes his head, offering Richie the cig, "ever since G-georgie d-died they've b-been focused on the drug trafficking-ing." he huffs out a laugh as Richie flicks the cigarette into the yard, "don't know where their at."

"Someone took Eddie and Frank told me to tell them he's ready." Richie sees the expression on Bills face and has to sit down.

Bill stares at him with wide eyes, "what?! l-let's go—" he starts to walk to the mustang but Richie stops him

"damn it Bill i have to call your parents or something. Frank will kill me if i don't get this done after i let his son get kidnapped!" Richie felt hot tears drop down his face and sniffles, "i need him back and if Frank thinks they can help then i need to tell them. Bill... i need him back.."

Bill sympathetically nods and leads him inside to use the landline. he dials a number for him and hands him the phone, "i'll help you, but we are going out th-there to find him." Richie takes the phone and holds it to his ear.
