Pitch smiled as he took in Jack's limp form from the back seat in the rear view mirror. Everything had gone perfectly, and now he had Jack. Jack was now going to be at Pitch's mercy, and that's exactly how Pitch had always wanted it.

He thought back to when he first saw Jack. He and his girlfriend (yes, he was straight back then) had been zooming down the streets in his old convertible, drinking and smoking away. Pitch hadn't seen Jack crossing the street as his car zoomed around the corner. Without guilt, he and his girlfriend took Jack to a nearby lake and threw him in. He remembered seeing the water turn red from the blood, his leg sticking out at an odd angle, obviously broken. But he didn't think twice about it. He was the son of a druglord. Things like this didn't bother him.

Pitch had told his father what he'd done, and his father just waved it off. But then Jack was found and they were able to save his life. Eugene was furious to find out Jack was the son of the married couple who just paid back the money he lent them for another relative's final expenses. He immediately offered to pay the bills and told them to take their time on paying him back. Pitch was infuriated that his father was being so kind to that family. And that was why he had his father killed.

Pitch took over, being the rightful heir through blood. He immediately beat down on the Bennett family, saying Jack was the one to pay the expenses, and they weren't allowed to help him in any way. But when Pitch met Jack face to face for the first time, he noticed he felt infatuated by the boy.

It was hard for him to imagine that this albino weirdo, Jackson Frost Bennett, was able to turn the great druglord Pitch Black gay. He got rid of his girlfriend and started working on gaining complete control over Jack. He knew he'd needed to keep Jack under debt so he had an excuse to keep seeing him. That's why he used anything Jack did that he didn't like to add money. He beat Jack and had his men beat Jack to make sure the boy knew how much power Pitch had. And the one time he had Jack all to himself, he made sure Jack knew that he wouldn't hesitate to take him.

Now all he had to do was keep everyone at bay from finding them. He wasn't going to lose. Not now.

It was hard for the Guardians to watch Mr. and Mrs. Bennett as they explained to Jamie and Sophie the situation at hand. Sophie didn't understand the concept of kidnapping and only cried because her brother was gone. Jamie got mad and demanded to know why Pitch had taken Jack. But he was too young to understand the sexual aspects of anything.

The group finally had to leave so the police could talk to the family in private. They all retreated to Tooth's house, where Tooth made her soothing green tea with some wheat crackers. None of them touched the crackers however. They all just sipped on their tea in silence.

"Poor kid," Bunny finally said. "It's all my fault."

"Bunny, it's not-"

"If I hadn't said all those things to him, Tooth, maybe he would've opened up sooner!" Bunny growled. "Maybe we could've protected him from anything Pitch was planning. Who knows what that freak is doing to Jack right now!"

Bunny felt two little hands one of his and looked to see Sandy look at him with sad eyes. The little boy lifted his hands and signed.

The police looked through Jack's phone. He had a message from Pitch saying if he told us, it would cost him more than money.

"Pitch would've gone after his family," North said. "He was trying to protect his family."

"Well, we can't just sit here and talk about it, can we?" Bunny said, setting town his tea and standing up. "Let's see if we can convince the principal to spend tomorrow out searching through the woods."

"You think Mr. Moon will let us?" Tooth asked in shock. "I mean, this is a druglord we're dealing with here."

"We've gotta try," Bunny smiled to Tooth. "Have hope, Toothy."

"Holler if you see anything!" Mr Moon. stood in front of his student body, which was gathered all together outside the school grounds. "And do not walk off alone. Keep track of your time; we'll meet back here at 11:30 for lunch. Set off, troops!"

There were four large groups with their own section to search. A teacher and one of the Guardians was in charge of each group. Tooth, Bunny, and Sandy found nothing with their group. They prayed North found something. When the school met back together for lunch time, they observed what they saw.

"Well," North explained. "We found Pitch's car, but it was abandoned. It was still on, too, as if he'd left in a hurry."

"Jack must've been trying to escape," Tooth sighed desperately. "And Pitch must've ditched the car to chase after him."

"We also found this," North said, holding out a gun. "It's says property of Frank Bennett on the handle."

"Well, at least we know he doesn't have a gun on Jack anymore," Bunny said shakily. "Where to now?"

"We all go back to car," North nodded. "Some of us will search car again, others will go in every direction possible to see if we can find a trace of where Jack and Pitch went."

"We better get the police in on this, too," Mr. Moon said, pulling out his cell phone. "I'll call for a paramedic to stand by, just in case. We'll set off when they get here."

"Let's pray we don't need that paramedic," North said worryingly under his breath.
