'Guys, it's Joe. Can I come in?'
Brian looks at Ben questioningly.
The latter nods.
'Come on in Joe.' Brian says.
Joe enters with the package Ben's father had in his hand. 'Hey. Uhm, I don't want to upset you any more, but you need to see what's in this package.' He says as soon as he has closed the door behind him.
Brian sees tears in Joe's eyes.
Ben wipes away his tears and takes the package from Joe. As he unfolds the box, Brian looks over his shoulder to see what's inside. Once the contents of the box are revealed, Brian gasps.
The box contains a knife and a letter.
Ben takes the letter out of the box with trembling hands. The message in the letter is written in the colour of blood. Although Ben isn't a hundred percent sure it's just the colour of blood and not just real blood. He reads the letter in a trembling voice.Hi Ben.
Too bad for you I'm free again. Maybe you could use my present to punish yourself? It would be a shame if I had to do it. The blood of this letter is not the only blood that will flow then.
Much hate, your old friend Corey.Ps. No police, or I know where to find you and your friends.
The three look at each other in shock.
Joe walks over to the bed and sits on the other side of Ben. He puts his arm around Ben, who is still shaking all over.
But Ben pushes Joe's arm away and gets up. 'I have to leave. I'm only putting you guys in danger.' He says determined.
Brian and Joe look at him in pity.
'Ben, don't be silly. We will help you. We'll just take this to the police and then we'll have evidence against Corey.' Joe says. He can feel a panic attack coming up, but resists it. This is not about him. He has to be there for his best friend.
'I'm going to the hotel. I have to think.' Ben says before he grabs his bag and his phone for a taxi.
As soon as Ben has left the trailer, Joe looks at Brian in a panic. 'Brian, he- he....-' Tears start to come back to Joe's eyes. 'He took the knife with him.' He whispers.
And although Brian always knows what to say to calm people down, he now remains remarkably quiet. 'I'm sorry Joe. I just don't know how we can help him now.' Brian looks defeated.
Joe shakes his head. 'I'm not going to leave him alone. Especially now that he has that knife with him.'
Brian nods in agreement. 'Let's go to the others. They will probably wonder what is going on.'
Joe nods, wipes his tears, and walks with Brian towards the room where the others are sitting.'Guys what's going on? We just saw Ben leave with tears in his eyes.' Rami says, getting up as soon as he sees the two coming.
'What is all happening here? Where is my son?' Ben's father looks at them confused.
'I'm sorry to say this sir, but your son is afraid of you.' Brian says carefully.
'Can't blame him.' Mr. Jones mumbles.
'Look, It's really bad timing now sir. Maybe you can come back another day to talk to your son?' Joe asks.
Mr. Jones nods. 'That's okay, I'll come back another day. Thanks anyway for your help today. I really appreciate that.' The man says to Joe.
The latter nods and gives the man a small smile.
When the man is gone Joe turns to the others. After briefly explaining what's going on to Roger, Rami and Gwil, he sits desperately on the couch. 'I'm so scared that he again......with that knife.' The ginger can feel the tears come back.
'I'm gonna go to him. Last time talking helped him, so maybe it does now.' Roger gets up and looks in his pockets for his car keys.
Brian gives him a small nod. 'Please let us know if anything is wrong or if he's feeling a little better Rog?' Brian asks.
Roger takes a deep breath, nods, and sets off for the hotel.
Joe sits bent over with his head in his hands. 'I just don't get it. Ben doesn't want to go to the police. But if he waits any longer, Corey will come after him.'
Gwil slides over to Joe, putting his arm around him to comfort him. 'He's just really scared. Then people sometimes make illogical choices. It is going to be okay, really.'
Rami also moves a little closer to Joe. 'And he is not alone. We are going to help him.' He adds.~~~
Soon, Roger arrives at the boys' hotel. He takes the lift to the floor of Ben's hotel room, and walks towards Ben's room.
Once arrived at the door, he's doubting whether to just go in or knock first. Maybe Ben will lock the door when he hears Roger is there. So Roger decides to enter Ben's room code and just enter. Luckily Joe forwarded the number to Roger before he left.
The drummer steps into the room and closes the door behind him. 'Ben? It's me, Roger.' When he doesn't get any response, Roger walks further into the room. His heart starts beating in his throat when he sees Ben's position. 'Fuck.' Roger mumbles.___________________
