Chapter 19

What's wrong with all these people and for God sake WHY ME?

Ran watched the movement from the corner of his eyes looking at the youngest son of the old who was staring at him from the door. Ran could not decipher the look pasted on his face, was it pity or was it just how he looks at him? Pity that he will be his father's sacrifice?

If it was a genuine pity then there still hope for him to get out of here. He managed to free from this old man evil clutches once and he will escaped again. If so, he desperately needed to convince the young man who looks not older than him to help him. The only problem is that the rest of the families and that include his owned flesh and blood.

They had moved him from the main bedroom to another room at the basement. He could not overpower the eldest son even if he tried to struggle. It's not like he has the energy to do so now anyway.

Ran now watched intently as the eldest son adjusting the shackle on his leg. Once he satisfied that it was strong enough, he nodded to himself and began to leave calling his younger brother along.

The youngest nodded and asked the brother to leave the room first. When he was sure that the brother is gone he walked slowly and cautiously towards the redhead who was looking at him curiously.

Ran cringed when he saw the young man took out something shiny from his trouser's pocket and show it to him. It was a fork. Now, stay calm. He chided himself.

Think.

The young man glanced briefly at the door again, afraid if his father's guard or worst his father himself will suddenly show up and he will be in a very goddamn big trouble. His father will punished him severely and worst if the punishment will be taken on his old man's bed.

He carefully gets closer to the redhead that was now lying on the bed and quietly passed him the fork.

'This is the only thing I can get to help you. Hide it.'He whispered to Ran with his eyes still glued at the door. 'Quickly' He added.

He hurriedly jerked up when he heard his brother calling him and ran towards the door without glancing back.

Ran swiftly hides the fork under the mattress. He was determined to get out from here. He don't know why the younger son of Tomoe is helping him but that's all he need at the moment.

And when he finally gets out from this mess, he will disappear, he doesn't know where but away from this man and away from Crawford. He had lots to say to Crawford, like how he feels towards the older man and how he wanted so much to confess his feelings. He also wanted to claw Crawford's eyes out of his socket for sleeping with Ken.

He was definitely confused on how he feels now, but at the moment all he wanted is to slice up the old man's face, cut his old swiveling dick off and stuff it in his mouth.

He felt sleepy, he need all the energy to think later but when he wakes up, he has a weapon, though not much, he will improvise.

The door bell was ringing rather assertively. Ignoring the chiming sound, knowing who it will be at a time like this since it's too early for his guests to arrive; Tomoe was choosing his tie rather slowly to match with his tuxedo that he will be wearing for tonight and like an Adonis he checked how he looks in the mirror again and again.

Hmm, not bad for a 50 year old man. He thought and smile. With a strong libido to boost.

He could not help to grin thinking the lucky ass he will impale his libido tonight. Ran has a beautiful set of little ass, porcelain little pouty round ass that scream 'fuck me'. The young man will be in bliss when his big and sturdy cock entering his virgin channel. He had enough taste of his youngest son body, as pretty as Ran and like his mother, his youngest son is a natural redhead but not as beautiful red as Ran have, Ran had straight and silky red while his son is a natural wavy.

Ran really aroused him and taking out his nature of obsessing and possessing.

A real keeper.

His mood still singing and after all he had outsmart those who tried to take away the young man from him. Not even the Tokyo Police Department can find Ran now he had securely placed. Oh, he allowed them to come in, raising eyebrows and when that Yuushi shows him the warrant, he merely look amused but allowed him and his team nevertheless to look around. Of course, nothing is around. Nothing suspicious anyway and they had to go out empty handed.

He did cursed inwardly a little at one of the stupid Takatori's son who somehow had 'defiled' Ran when he was asking his 'help' to retrieve the young man. Stupid

Someone was knocking at his door; he cursed slightly putting down the stripy blue tie he was holding on his bed before sauntering towards the door and opened it, looking directly at one of his security. He raised his eyebrow in question and nodded for the man to talk. Nobody talk to him unless he gave them a specific permission.

"You have uninvited guests." The security man said he showed the mansion CCTV footage to him.

Tomoe could not help but barking a loud laugh as he saw two young men lingering along the tree outside his gate looking somewhat curious or may be searching for something… someone. One of them which he did recognize, a young man with brunette hair, no mistaken the boy that the American had fucked the night he issued the order to take the redhead from the American's home.

'Well.. well.. well, we should not let them linger and be a nuisance to our guests, don't you think so?' He asked the security man and the man nodded in agreement with his Boss. He did not wait for the specific instruction when it comes to intruder, they know what to do.

'What do you want to do with them?'

'Invite them in and put them in one of the room, I will let his owner know that he had one lost kitten and he could come and collect at his own free time.' He laughed, clapping his hand once, 'I have a better idea, why don't I invite him to the party and while he was busy trying to find his lost brunette kitten, I will be fucking the redhead kitten right under his nose. That sounds much better, don't you think?'

The security merely nodded in agreement, leaving the old man laughing to his heart content as he walked down towards the stairs to inform the his fellow security near the entrance of the intrusion.

Crawford was gazing at the road from his car, not particularly looking at anything in specific. His mind is in the mess even if his face doesn't show it. He heaved a huge sigh just before the younger man easing himself at the passenger seat. Both men were silence, both lost in their own thoughts.

What Schuldig could not think of is Aya's motive in poisoning her own brother. When they were in their therapy sessions, Aya never indicates, not even a slightest an ill intention towards Ran. All she did complained is about how scared she was with the outside world and how afraid she was with all the moving vehicles, afraid that it might trample her again, but nothing about holding any grudge on his brother.

Schuldig trying hard to replay in his mind the sessions and any hints but he could find none. And as far as he remember Ran was an obliging son, he took care of his sister, never failed to visit her while he was in coma bringing in her favorite flowers, putting it beside her bed, sitting down, talking to her, reading her story books.

But, all and all, he could not find even a single reason on what had generate the change of heart of the sister that she will do such a thing just to make sure her brother will stay sick. Did she want to vent all her 4 years loss and frustration towards Ran? Wanting the brother to feel like how it feels waking up and being afraid after seeing how the brother are free to move around. If that the cause, then why are the parents and two innocent lives in that house were killed.

Did they know what she had done and that she had to shut their mouth?

But, looking at Aya's size. Schuldig is sure that she can't be that strong to carry her own father and crucified him. She must have someone to help her.

The big who question? She has no friends.

Wait! That her look alike friend, Sakura. She is Tomoe's daughter, she must have her own minions to help her. But, how could a sweet girl turn to be so cruel to turn against her own families. Here comes the big 'WHY' question?.

While he was playing a why question, Crawford is playing a 'what if' question in his mind.

What if he didn't go to his vacation house that night?

What if he was with Ran?

But the most what if that he is afraid of is what if he is too late?

His train of thought was interrupted by a snapping sound of a phone. "What?" He asked.

Schuldig sighed. "Yohji called. He sound pissed. I wonder why" he shrugged at nothing in particular.

'Brad?' Schuldig turned to his friend with his serious look.

'What?'

'You love him don't you?'

Crawford raised his eyebrow at the goldmine question. 'Him?'

'Ran. Schuldig said straight to the point.

Crawford turned and remained silence, not answering the question.

'You can tell me.' He said.

'You are going to use your tactical psychological method on me if I don't answer your question?'

'It's free of charge.' Schuldig let out a little smile and took out a cigarette.

'I thought you quit?'

'I quit only in front of Kudou. Behind him is a different story and did you sees Kudoh around now?'

Crawford snorted and took one for himself, lighting it.

'You do love him. But you seems to be in denial, you are not like that, you always sure what you wanted and have it. I don't know why.'

'Things happened.'

'Like?'

Crawford took a deep puff, released it 'I could use a little vodka now.'

'You are trying to change the subject. It will work on others but not me.'

Crawford remained silence for few minutes before he opened his mouth. 'That night…' he paused and Schuldig merely took another puff of his cigarette without encouraging his friend to continue. Brad will talk only he wants to. He is a shell that hard to crack.

'That night, I shouldn't be at the vacation house. I should be there at home with him.'

'You don't know that it is going to happen Brad. If they don't get him that night, they will get him any other time. You should be thankful that Nagi and Omi are not at home, and Farfello injuries are not lethal. It's not your fault.'

'But still, I could say no to Ken.'

'Ken?' Schuldig began to scratch his head not knowing what Ken had to do with Ran being taken.

'Yes, he said he really needed a vacation and pleaded me to bring him…. And I….'

Schuldig almost dropped his cigarette and stared at the older man. 'Don't tell me!... You slept with Yohji's brother?'

Crawford nodded and took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. He sighed heavily when he heard Schuldig cursing in his mother tongue language.

'You!.. Argh… You…' Schuldig turned his head when he heard a screeching sound and saw Yohji braking haltingly right in front of them. He closed his face with both of his hands and tried to calm himself and get out of the car waiting for the sky to fall.

Yohji get out of the car, almost slamming the door angrily. 'I got stuck with Ken…' He trailed off when he saw Crawford meeting the eyes of the older man coldly. He really wanted to gave Crawford his piece of mind when his phone ringing.

Schuldig saw the blood drained from his lover's face and quickly stand beside his lover when he saw Yohji almost dropped the phone. Crawford get out from his car and could hear Schuldig frantically asking, 'What? What's wrong?' to his lover.

'Ken..' Yohji lost his word.

'What about Ken?' Schuldig asked. 'I thought you said he was safe, he was at the hostel and you leave few policemen there to protect him.'

'I do…' Yohji nodded frantically… 'but the police just called and told me he took off .' Yohji said and he almost collapsed on the granite floor. Schuldig quickly supported his lover when they heard another phone ring.

This time it is Crawford's phone.
