Janus covered half of his face that was hurt by whatever the hell was that noise, he still had the drive to keep fighting and he covered his eye with one hand turned around.

Roman had turned on the tea kettle which causes steam to burn off a bit of Janus' face.

Roman and Virgil both looked horrified of what they saw when Janus turned around and found this as a chance to run to find Patton.

Janus leaned on the counter. 'Shit..' He felt as if the steam never left.

He grabbed his phone from his pocket and saw the messages from Remus.

He tried to open up his phone but got too weak, his face was bleeding, and he couldn't see with one eye.

'The servants must have left..' Janus thought while trying to open up his phone with too much difficulty.

He then dialed Remus.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Remus sighed, the father and son duo had ordered and were waiting. But Remus was still looking at his phone.

"Is Father okay?" Logan inquired.

"Y-yeah! Why wouldn't he be? It's not like he got ran over, or in a car crash, dead, blood everywhere.." Remus imagined the worst.

Logan looked up confused. "There was barely any traffic, and also adding to the fact that father is a careful driver."

Remus sighed heavily. It was almost 3 hours.

He heard his phone go off and saw who it was and picked it up "Janus! Where are you?!"

"Mansion got under attack.. I got injured." Janus said bluntly but also trying not to have a strain of a pain in his voice.

Remus jumped out of the booth "Logan we need to go now."

"But I thought-"

"NOW." Remus yelled while calling over their personal driver.

Logan was surprised by his dad's strict attitude but obliged.

Nobody was picking up so Remus found an app and ordering a taxi to their place. He paid them extra just to get their sooner.

The taxi arrived due to the mall being a popular location.

They both jumped in. Logan wanted to ask questions but didn't want to get his dad more upset.

Remus was on the brink of tears and tried to keep them in. His husband could be dead at the very second, who will be there for Logan? Remus can't remarry, he's Remus! Janus is the only one who's ever liked him really.

"Where the hell is this kid at?" Virgil exclaimed while looking in room after room.

"I'm not sure, my Darling. Just know that we will find him if our life depends on it, and I shall protect you from-" Roman began a whole monologue but to be honest Virgil wasn't paying attention to that.

"This one!" Virgil yelled while seeing a door with numerous locks.

"Ah! Mi amor you never cease to amaze me!" Roman exclaimed while unlocking the door with Virgil.

Patton jumped up excited for L to appear, he went next to the door where the light didn't hit and he hid, ready to surprise him.

Two men in white tuxedo's appeared.

"Kid? Patton?" The purple tied called out softly.

"Oh sweet innocent child! We shall save you from these horrid beasts!" The red tied man exclaimed.

Patton got terrified at the fact they knew his name, the left the door wide open and he ran as fast as he could.

Roman examined the chair "Well they definitely did have a captive here."

"No shit sherlock." Virgil said while looking around the room.

"I love you too." Roman said sarcastically while looking around too.

atton ran down the stairs 'I-I have to leave!' He thought.

He heard coughing and got concerned. The coughing got worse and soon he felt bad for the person, the mansion was torn and practically destroyed.

He ran over to the source of the coughing and saw a man who had on a black and yellow shirt with black pants.

Patton couldn't recognize him with his scar and gasped loudly.

The man looked up and saw the bright colored boy. "You need to get out of here, there are men in white suits that are trying to take you away, we need you to leave now before they hurt you."

"B-but what about you?" Patton asked, deeply concerned.

Janus held his hand to his face that was still bleeding. "I'll be fine, just go."

Patton frowned, "I need your phone!"

"Wha- Why-"

"I just need it!"

"Fine, here" Janus gave him his phone and Patton pushed the emergency calling button and called 911.

Patton talked on the phone for a bit then put it back on the counter.

"What?"

"I called an ambulance, you can tell them you were attacked, and then report all of this to the police!" Patton explained.

Janus was shocked by the boy's bravery, but nodded. "Thank you, now you have to leave."

"Not a chance. Plus I don't know how far I am from home.." Patton replied embarrassingly.

Janus looked around. "Come on, let's go to the garage so they don't find us." He replied while speed walking to the room.

Patton followed, then grabbed one of Janus' hands to guide him, as if a son was doing to his elderly father.

They both made their way to the garage, they must've missed this room since it wasn't vandalized yet.

Patton looked around and tried to not hit the expensive name brand cars and saw a door. "Where would that take us?" He asked

"Outside, the side of the garden, theres a door to the front from there." Janus explained.

"Alright! Let's go!" Patton replied while guiding Janus.

They made their way to the garden. 'Wow! So pretty!' Patton thought and opened up a door near a metal gate.

Janus and Patton made their way outside and heard sirens, Janus was still covering his face.

Janus and Patton waited for a bit before the ambulance picked up Janus, and were hesitant to bring Patton.

"Please! I-I'm his.." Patton thought for a moment, he couldn't just say that he was kidnapped. "Son! I'm his son."

The medics were nervous but brought him anyways.

On their way to the hospital they were asking how this happened.

Janus explained in a well thought out lie that he was making tea and got distracted and let the steam out.

The medics applied something to his wound and wrapped his face in a wrapping bandage. He could barely see and soon they were at the hospital.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as they arrived at their mansion, Remus jumped out the car and busted into the mansion. He yelled at Logan to stay in the car.

"JANUS!" He yelled loudly, unable to find his husband, running past the tattered furniture and floor.

He checked the dining room and saw the broken chairs and looked into the kitchen hall and saw blood on the floor. "Janus?! Janus?!"

Then he heard something behind him, a creak, he turned quickly behind him and his eyes widened.

"Hello, brother." Roman said waving.
