When Night Falls(Pt22)
Phil raced through the house, nearly colliding with Scott and Tiny as they were coming up the stairway. Ignoring their comments of ‘what’s the rush’ he skidded to a halt outside the living room door, slid the door open to hard, making it jump off the tracks and slammed right into Nick as he went through.
“Joe is…”
“…hurt.” Nick finished.
“He’s on his…”
“…way home. I know that too.” Nick smiled slightly. “Philip, why do you find it necessary to tell me these things?”
“I thought you would want to know.”
“You seem to forget that I share a very strong bond with him also.”
“I guess I do.”
“Now, the extent of his injuries…” Nick quickly strolled to the phone that had begun to ring. “…I’m not sure….Joseph.”
“No, it’s Lily.”
“Lily.” Nick breathed a sigh of relief, but concern for all of them still danced at the edge of his voice. “Are you alright?”
“Shaken up, tired, a few cuts and bruises, other than that, I’m fine. Crystal is going to be alright. I had to take her to the hospital before going to the airport.”
“It’s nothing serious is it?” Phil called out.
“She has a concussion, stitches and broken wrist. She was released under my care and will be fine in a few days.”
“Joe, we already know he’s hurt.”
“Um…he is.” On the plane, Lily glanced to where he was lying on the floor, blood slowly oozing from around the wood. “I’ll fill you in on the details when we get home. He has a piece of wood in…in, to the left of his stomach. I don’t know what to do. He refuses to let me pull it out.”
“No, leave it alone!” Nick yelled over the phone. “I’m sorry Lily. I didn’t mean to yell at you. Where is Crystal?”
“She’s resting on the bed and I…I think Joe is asleep too.”
“Good. Listen carefully alright. Get all the bottles on that plane, set them within arms reach of Joe.”
”I’ve already done that.” Lily told him.
“Good. Now I want you to lock yourself in the bedroom with Crystal and don’t come out for anything.”
“OK.” Lily glanced at Joe again. “Um Nick, he…he wont come after us will he? I know what he needs to heal, but…”
”No sweetheart, he won’t. Stay in that room until the plane lands and we can get Joe off. Ask Dan how long before you land.” Nick waited for her to find out.
“Little over an hour.”
Rick strolled into the room. “Did anybody get a feeling fr…”
Phil held up his hand to stop him. “Yes we did.”
“I wasn’t talking about Joe. I knew you would feel him. I meant Sav.”
“Just a fleeting since of arousal.” Phil said.
“Same here, but it didn’t last long, then nothing.”
”OK. Phil and I will meet you there. Now go in the room.” Nick gently hung up the phone.
”He probably blocked it from everyone. He usually does.” Phil glanced toward Nick as he hung up the phone. “What about you?”
“The planes lands in about an hour, we must be there to tend to Joseph and his wounds. Lily and Crystal are banged up but sounds like they will be fine. As for Rick...” Nick caught him self with name usage “…Sav keeps me blocked most of the time. Although…” he frowned, then looked thoughtful. “He didn’t this time. I was concentrating on Joe, when Sav came through. I didn’t really think anything of it.”
“Now that sounds strange coming from you.” Rick commented.
“He’s visiting with an old friend. I didn’t want to intrude.” Nick said with a shrug of his shoulder.
Phil and Rick looked doubtful at each other.
“I find that strange too, Dylan all of a sudden showing up.” Rick continued. “Why didn’t Joe connect with Sav? He would know before we did, would have been in here like lightening if he knew that Joe was injured.”
“Possibly. Joe also knows that Sav will over react about it.”
“True.” Phil and Rick said at the same time.
“We should inform everyone that the girls are alright.”
“Of course.” Nick glanced toward the sliding glass doors. The sky brightened somewhat outside, under the cover of thick dark storm clouds.
“Should we tell Sav where we’re going?”
”No. He’ll know soon enough. Let him enjoy his time with Dylan. Once Joe is back home, Dylan will be invisible to him.”
Phil chuckled. “Just like someone else is.”
“Not hardly.” Nick replied, strolling to the door to look out. “He should be inside by now.” He mumbled and pulled out his cell. “Andre’, have some men search the grounds for Mr. Savage and Mr. Kershaw.” he pushed the door open and stepped out onto the deck.
“W..what is he doing, he can’t go out there?” Rick asked.
Phil grabbed Rick’s arm and dragged him to the door.
“W..we can’t go out there Phil.”
”It’s alright, the sun is to heavily block by the clouds.”
When they stepped out, Nick was already halfway across the lawn. Phil suddenly spun on Rick.
“It just occurred to me. Sav maybe blocking us, but I can’t get a sense for him either.”
Rick glanced around. “I don’t either. You don’t thin…”
”Let’s look inside the house. Nick has it covered out here.” Phil once again grabbed his arm.
Once inside they separated. Phil ran into Tiny and Amber in the all.
“Phil, daddy is hurt.”
”We know about that. Have….”
“Is he alright?”
“He will be when he gets home. Have yo…”
“What happened?” Amber was on the verge of tears.
“He’s going to be fine Amber, its nothing. Have yo..”
“What about Crystal and Lily?”
“They’re fine too. Have you seen Sav?” Phil finally managed to get out.
“Um…not since he went for a walk with Dylan. Why?”
Phil darted down the hall. “I don’t think he’s outside anymore. Sav!”
Amber ran after him. “What do you mean?”
Phil spun on her just inside Sav’s room, grabbing her upper arms. “Can you get a sense for him? What about you Tiny?”
Amber darted her eyes between Phil’s. “No.”
Tiny was already on the move, searching other rooms.
“You don’t think something happened to him, do you?”
“I hope not.” Phil quickly hugged her. They separated and combed the upstairs rooms.
Outside, Nick was going in small circles trying in vain to fix on Sav’s where about, when he failed to make that connection, fear welled up inside him.
Andre’ came to a skidding halt on the damp grass. “I found this.” He said and dropped the white gold ring in Nick’s hand. “His fading scent where I found it, nothing else. The grounds have been thoroughly searched.”
“Rick would never take this off again.” Nick said softly, twirling the ring between his fingers.
“Should we extended the search outside the grounds?”
”No, that will not be necessary.” Nick glanced around. “He’s not here.”
“Nick, I know this families history together, as well as anyone in the Community. Rick would not just take off like this under such dangerous circumstances.”
“No, he wouldn’t.” Nick saw Phil and Rick heading toward them.
“He’s not in the house.” Phil said as they joined them. “I guess you didn’t find him out here either.”
“No, just this.” Nick showed them the ring.
“He wouldn’t….Dylan. I knew something wasn’t right about this.” Rick told them. “Sav is gone and we all know he didn’t go willingly.”
“I saw them walking around, watched for a few minutes, then ambled off somewhere else, to give them a bit of privacy.” Andre’ told them. “No one saw them leave.”
“This was well planned out Nick.” Phil said. “Dylan knew the routine of the guards, knew where the smallest of gaps would be.”
“Sav didn’t put up a fight or we would have felt or heard something.”
“He must have been drugged or something.” Andre’ commented. “It would have been the only way he would have left.”
“Dylan had us all fooled.” Nick said dryly.
“What happens now?” Rick asked.
“We get Joe and the girls from the airport and wait for the next call.” Nick informed them, slipping the ring on his finger for safe keeping. “Not a word about this to Joe.”
“You must be joking.” Rick scoffed. “Sav will be the first person he asks about or runs to when he gets home.”
“If he’s walking. Don’t forget about his injury.” Nick pointed out.
“That will not stop him, you know that.” Phil argued.
”He’s going to know something is wrong and that Sav isn’t here.” Rick told them.
“He’s going to flip out.” Phil mused.
“Dance around his questions. Tell him what he wants to know…anything but the truth.”
“You don’t expect us to lie to him.” Rick shot back. “Hello…Nick…you must be really losing it man. He’s going to know!”
“We’ll get around it.” Nick started. “I’m leaving for the airport…with Tiny. That won’t work. I’ll take Scott instead. Both of you stay here with your mouths shut.”
“Ah…now, what is that suppose to mean?” Rick yelled after him.
“That you will blab the first time he asks.” Nick yelled back.
“Might want some drugs for him too Nick!”
The three men watched Nick disappear into the house.
“I don’t think I would want to be in the house when Mr. Elliott finds out.”
Phil and Rick looked at him.
“Hurt or not, Joe is going to blow the roof off the house.”
“I like your idea Andre’. Think I’ll run out here when Joe gets home and learns that Sav was kidnapped right from under Nick’s arrogant nose.” Rick said and Phil nodded in agreement.
Andre scoffed at them, “That arrogance has been badly shaken since this all began.”
Phil look to the house a moment, “Under different circumstances, I would say it was a good thing, but not these type.”
