Date: Mon, 10 May 2021 22:52:19 +0000 (UTC) From: Knight Timothy Subject: Matties new life chapter 13 First off I want to apologize to all my readers about the last posting of chapter 13. I recently broke up with my Boyfriend after I caught him making out with another boy at school. I made a big scene in the cafeteria at lunch time that embarrassed him. I caught Covid19 from my teacher. After two weeks in the hospital I have gotten well enough for the doctors to let me come back home. I discovered that my ex went into my email account and rewrote the chapter I was working on. He literally destroyed all my characters in chapter 13. I have asked nifty to pull that chapter so I can post the chapter as I wanted to write it. So here's chapter 13 of Matties new life Prints had been lifted from the cabin that ended up proving that Ryan Duncan had been there. Ryan's parents had entered all their children into a nationwide data base program that photographed and finger printed them when they first started school. Matties and Tommy's fingerprints weren't on any database so they were unable to tell if any of the other prints belonged to either of them. The police also made plaster cast of four different sets of tire tracks. Two of the cast matched tires normally belonging to those that come standard on ATVs. Another cast matched tires from a pull behind ATV cart. The last cast matched a set of tires size 17R285 that usually are standard on trucks. A sheet with cum was removed from one of the beds at the cabin along with a total of 6 different sets of finger prints. The police checked with the city and got the office of public records to see who owned the cabin on the property. After a thorough search, no records could be found. The dogs tracked the boys scents right to the truck tire tracks. After that the scent was lost. It was determined that more than likely the boys had been kidnapped as there were signs of a struggle. They searched over by the thickets where they also found more signs of a struggle. Lying under a thicket bush just five feet from where the police stopped looking, lay a cell phone. Evidence was collected and sent off to the Kettle Falls police forensics division to be analysed. -------------- A ringing was heard coming from the Duncan's livingroom phone. "Hello, Mr Duncan speaking" The police started a trace. A disguised voice stated that he had Ryan Duncan and that he'd call back later with instructions for him to follow if he ever wished to see his son again. Click The police got a trace but could only pinb point the call within a 5 mile radius. The family huddled together in a group hug. It hadn't been good news but at least it gave them some hope. ------------- Nanny got a call from sheriff Booth. It was about the phone call that the Duncan's just received. It was from a mysterious caller who stated that he had Ryan. The trace they ran only put the boy somewhere in Kettle Falls township. Nanny asked about Mattie and Tommy. Sheriff Booth told her that there was no indication that the boys are together as there was no mention of them. "Don't worry yourself Nanny" "Mattie and Tommy are very resilient young boys. If they're in any danger, I'm sure they will figure out a way to get us a message" ------------ Larry Betz Jr delivered two ziplock bags to Kyle and Lyle. Inside them were 20 ten dollar baggies of crack cocaine each.. Larry instructed the two that they were to split up the baggies between them give them away. "This is to bait the boys into trying it" "Then when they come back to get more as this drug is highly addictive" "They will beg, borrow and steal to get another hit" "You may even be able to get them to do some of our higher risk jobs and then you can pay them off in crack" "Cool" Kyle said. "But under no circumstances are either of you to smoke this drug" "Is that clear" "You can count on us Larry" Kyle said. "Good" "Meet me back here on Friday to pick up another baggie" "Cause by this weekend you'll be having all your little middle school friends tracking you down for more" Larry got back on his scooter and headed over to meet up with his father as he had something important for him to do. ---------------- The boys were looking around the room when Tommy saw a familiar symbol. He nudged Mattie with his elbow and pointed it out to him. This bought a smile to both boys. They started to get up when they heard someone outside the door. Keys were heard jiggling. It sounded like the locks were being opened Suddenly the door swung opened and there stood the man who kidnapped them. Well look here. I see you managed to get yourselves untied. "Yes we did and why are you holding us?" Tommy wanted to know. "Well the two of you were just a bonus" "I was only after the Asian boy" "Owen there screwed up, so he's in with you three now" "I just stopped by to let you know that I called your daddy" "He's going to do me a few favors in order to get you back" "If he doesn't, let's just say there are many tunnels down here that little boys like you four would never be found in. Ryan got scared and started to tear up. Tommy got up and went over to his cot and sat down next to him. "It's going to be alright Ryan" "It will only be okay if your dad does what he's told, otherwise you four will never be found" The man reached out and grabbed Owen. "Quit struggling and come with me" Owen went with the man. The door was closed and latched. Mattie and Tommy quietly went over to the wall where they saw the design. They both reached behind the cabinet and tried to move it. But it wouldnt budge. Whispering "Ryan can you give us a hand" All three of them together were able to slide the cabinet out just enough to see that there was a grated drain under it. Outside "Okay boy spill the beans" "What have they said?" "Nothing, they are just wondering why you took them" "How did you all get untied?" "Mattie and Tommy were able to manuever themselves to get the tape off their mouths" "Then they worked together to get the ropes off" "Well there's a bag of sandwiches and some bottles of water in there" "Just keep me posted and you'll be back home with your foster mom in two days time" The door opened again and the man tossed Owen back inside. He hit the floor hard and tried not to cry. As he picked himselve up off of the floor the other three boys heard three locks being closed on the other side of the door. "What did he want?" "He wanted information about what your planning" "What did you say" "Just told him you got free of the ropes and tape" "Anything else" "Yes" "What" "He wants me to tell him everything you three say" "Anything else" "No Mattie, I promise" "Well in that case" "Who wants to get out of here?" "We do" the three other boys sounded off. ---------------- Kyle and Lyle had just finished splitting up the drugs into 20 baggies a piece when they heard Daniel and Kevin yell up to the tree house to see if they were there. "Yes were here", come on up they said. Once up the ladder and sitting down Kyle tossed each of the boy one of the baggies. "Whats this" "Its like the pot we smoked with you last week but way better" "So we use the pipe you gave us" "Yes" "Just sprinkle some on top of the pot we gave you" "I don't know Kyle" "I got my butt whipped pretty bad by my dad last week" "Well you don't need to worry about that with this stuff" "It doesn't smell" "No I think we should just go" "Tell you what" "Just take it and try it out" "No charge" Daniel and Kevin still weren't sure but didn't want to get beat up by these two bully boys. So they put the baggie in their pants pocket and went back down the ladder and left. "Kyle are you sure that we should be doing this" "What do we care" "We're not going to be doing any" "I know that but our classmates will be" "They could get sick or hurt really bad" "Quit being so scared Lyle" "Oh shit, I didn't rezlize that was the time" "I've gotta go Kyle or my pa is going to kill me" "Okay but make sure you give all that away and meet me back here Friday" Lyle didn't reply back but got out of there fast. He needed to go somewhere to think. ----------- Nicolas and Gary were sleeping while thickly diapered. The two boys still hadn't said how they felt about each other but everyone around them already knew. The two of them were sleeping soundly after staying awake most of the night helping give out coffee and sandwiches to the volunteers at the search command post. Now that it was official that Ryan wasn't missing but actually kidnapped, the police stepped in and made a call to the State Police for assistance. But the volunteers were still searching for Mattie and Tommy. ---------- Lee was with Trent out searching for clues to Mattie and Tommys where abouts. They were both riding on their bikes when they came across Leon and Nelson just coming out of the parks back bathroom. "Hey you guys" Trent said "Sorry we haven't been able to help with the search for Mattie, Tommy and that other kid but we've been pretty busy" Nelson said back. "That's cool, were actually out looking for clues of them now" "Want to join us" "Yeah sure" "Just let us get our bikes around back" Lee and Trent followed Leon and Nelson around back to get their bikes. "Where to" Leon asked. "Lee thought we should check out the back entrance to Kettle Falls" Trent said. "Sounds good" The four boys rode until they came to the fork in the path. Lee knew the way quite well. They all turned on to the dirt path and headed for Kettle Falls which they could hear off in the distance. -------------- Larry Betz Sr had just dropped off the last of the drug deliveries to two of the cities officials. Unknown by these men, Larry's son, Larry Betz Jr was in the distance taking pictures and recording the transactions. His last stop was to his friend Coach Willis. He was babysitting his neighbors son Vincent who was presently away caring for her sister. Knocking on the front door. "Come in Larry" "Here's your supply" "Just don't do anything stupid with it" "So you have some information for me" Larry asked the coach. "Your not going to like it" "Your older brother Bill signed over his guardianship rights to Nanny Marie" "What do you mean guardianship rights" "You were never legally Gary's guardian" "It was your older brother Bill who your younger brother Samuel and his wife had in their will to take care of Gary if anything happened to them" Once the paperwork was notarized by the state and the judge signed off on it, Gary became Nanny Marie's charge" Larry was furious. Coach Willis tried to calm Larry down but with no luck. Larry finally calmed down and headed for the Streetcar Bar and Grill. If he couldn't have Gary then he'd make sure no one would. ---------------- Mattie and Tommy felt that they had waited long enough to make their escape. The boys got up to move the cabinet that was sitting on top of the grate. It took the help of all four of them to move it over in front of the rooms entrance door. They figured since the door opened inward it would be harder for the man to get into the room if he happened to come back before they made their escape. Ryan and Owen were confused about how they were going to get the drain cover in the floor opened. They had no tools of any sort. The man had taken all the boys wallets and phones as well as any jewelry. But he failed to check the boys shoes. Mattie and Tommy took off one of their shoes. On the inside they had cut a slit in the padding of the sole. With a little effort they pulled out two strange looking keys. "What are those Mattie". "These are our way out guys" "See that design above that slot" "Yes" "Well it matches the design on our keys" Tommy put the key in the slot and turned it easily. A click was heard and a small panel opened above the drain grate. But the drain wouldn't budge. Looking at the panel. They saw that same sign but no slot to put the key into. Owen got a closer look. He noticed three dials with the numbers 395 on them. He shouted. "I know what we need to do" "What is that Owen" "Outside above this door are the numbers 404" "I think if we move those three dails to match those numbers it will do something" "Well go ahead and try it" "Are you sure" "Ill probably just mess it up" "Owen you figured it out and should have the honors of doing it" Tommy said Owen never had anyone be nice to him before without wanting something from him in return. "Are you sure" Mattie went over to Owen and took his hand. He raised his hand to the first dail. Then he stepped back. "Go on Owen" "There's nothing to be afraid of" "Were all right here and have your back" Ryan from his angle saw a single tear escape Owen's eye and roll down his cheek. "Go on Owen" "You got this easy" Ryan said in support. Owen turned the first dail but it wouldnt move. Then he tried the other direction and it moved. Okay 4. Then 0 and last 4 A pop was followed by a slot appearing. Mattie stepped up and used his key. He turned it to the right and all the boys watched the drain cover spring open. Tommy was the first to climb down the ladder followed by Owen and then Ryan. Mattie stayed and moved the cots over against the wall. Then he wedged them against the cabinet. This would make it nearly impossible for anyone to open up the door. Tommy noticed a key slot under the frame after he went through. "Mattie give me one of those keys" Mattie took the one from the panel but the drain grate closed instantly. "No Mattie put that one back and try the other one" So Mattie did what Tommy suggested and it stayed open this time. Tommy inserted the key and turned it. The boys all heard a loud click. "Mattie you might want to turn the dials back again" Owen suggested. "I think that we shouldn't do that" "Just in case we have to come back this way" "Your probably right" "It was a dumb idea anyway" Tommy had heard enough. "Owen stop that" A stunned Owen turned and looked at Tommy with fear on his face. "Your not stupid" "It wasn't a dumb idea" "It was brilliant" "It made us think about what is the best thing to do" "Remember it was you that figured how to get out of here in the first place" "We all need to voice our opinions cause it could be the answer to saving us all" "We all must trust each other and listen" "Cause only together can we succeed" Mattie removed the panel key and heard a whinning sound followed by a serious of clicks. "Hurry Mattie and get down here" Tommy said. Mattie at last thought to grabbed the food and drink bags and tossed them down the opened grate before he jumped to the ladder. Just as his hand cleared the grate it snapped shut. "Aaaaahhhh" Mattie cried. Together the boys helped Mattie to the bottom of the ladder. "Let me take a look" Tommy said. Tommy ripped off a piece of his shirt and used it to wrapped around his boyfriends fingers that got hit by the grate as it slammed closed. "You should be okay" Tommy said before he went back up the ladder. He turned back the key to hear a latching sound. He then pulled out the key and put it in his pocket as he watched Mattie do the same. It was darker down in this tunnel and no one had any means of light. So it was discussed amongst the boys how to go forward from here. They settled on the best way to was to crawl and keep ahold of the pant leg in front of them. Mattie volunteered to go first. They would rotate every time they took a break. The boys started out crawling for about an hour it seemed when they came upon a split in the tunnel. It was decided that this would be a good place to take a break. They had two bologna sandwiches and three bottles of water left. Each boy took a big swallow of water and a bite from one of the sandwichs. "Aaaahhh, that breeze feels good" Ryan said. "Where from Ryan" "Over here" The boys all crawled over to Ryans position and sure enough there was a very slight breeze. It was a unanimous decision to go that way. Ryan took the next lead. After about another hour, the breeze was getting stronger and finally some light was shinning ahead of them in the far distance. As they kept getting closer to the light a roaring sound started to become the dominant noise. A light water mist was also felt. This was a relief as all the boys were soaking wet from sweating as well as being extremely tired. Another two breaks and two more lead changes later the light vanished and darkness overtook the tunnel that they had been crawling in all day. So they stopped for the night and decided it was best to finish the last of the sandwich as it was getting very wet. They also shared the rest of the last bottle of water before the boys all cuddled up together to go to sleep. --------------- Lyle had stashed his stuff he had gotten from Larry in the back yard of his house before going inside for the day. "Where have you been young man"? "We've been trying to call you all day" "I was with my friend Kyle" "Why didn't you answer your phone" "It was dead this morning cause I forgot to charge it and left it home so it could change" "Okay that explains that " "Your mother is at the hospital with your sister" "Is she alright daddy" "Grab your coat and let's go" Lyle grabbed his hoodie and phone before he followed his dad out the front door. The ride was silent for the first 5 minutes. "Lyle your sister had an overdose" Lyle instantly started crying. "Mom called before you got home and the doctors said that Sally should be alright" "I want you to be honest with me Lyle" "Do you know where your sister got that crack cocaine from" Lyle stared at his daddy like a deer in headlights. "No daddy" "I don't do any drugs" "Okay, I'll take you at your word" They pulled up and parked the car before going inside. After checking in with admissions, they headed up to Sallys room. Entering her room,, Lyle saw Sally laying there and got scared from all the tubes coming out of her arms and chest. He sat down and started to cry. His mom came over and comforted him. They stayed for another hour before Lyle Sr told his wife to take Lyle and go home. He would stay the night with her. And call immediately if any changes happened. ---------- Will had just left to go home and change to head into work after spending the night babysitting Andy while Neil worked the graveyard shift. "How's it going Andy" "Good daddy" "Are you going straight to sleep" "No, I thought I would take my boy to school today" "How long until your ready" "Give me ten minutes" "Okay I'll get your protein shake made" Andy hurried upstairs to his room to grab his backpack with his books and homework in it before heading back downstairs to get his protein shake from his daddy. "Here you go sport" "Thanks daddy" Andy and his daddy got into their personal vehicle, a four door jeep sport wrangler. "So what do you think of Will" "Hes nice daddy" "We had fun last night" "Hes pretty good at Mortal Combat" "He also baked some cookies for us" "What would you think if I asked Will to move in with us" "Like a roommate daddy" "I need to be honest with you son" "I had a friend I experimented with when I was your age". "But then my father caught us and forbid me to see my friend ever again" "I then met your mom and after high school married her" "I guess you could say I'm bi" "Are you in love with him" "I am" "Is that a problem?" "No daddy" "I think its great news" "You deserve someone to love you too" "Thanks buddy" "It was very important to me that this is alright with you" "It is daddy" Neil pulled up to the middle school and dropped off Andy "Have a good day" "You to daddy" ----------- Ring ring ring Police started the trace. Synthetic voice "Mr Duncan if you don't want anything to happen to your son" "Today at the schools introduction of your position, your going to announce to forgo appointing any new board members and just keep the ones already their in place" "Otherwise it will be your son who gets hurt" Click. "Sheriff the trace came from pay phone outside of Snoopys Hot Dogs" "Dispatch send vehicles to Snoopys right away" "Block off all roads within a four block radius" Sirens were heard blaring all around downtown as the state police force jumped into action. Police arrived at the phone booth and after securing the immediate area, it was discovered that a time delayed prerecorded tape player was found duct taped under the phones shelf. It was wired into the phone to play the message at a certain time. Area cameras were checked and at 12:30am, 7 hours earlier a lady was seen putting something in that phone booth. Close up pictures of her showed she was wearing a scarf and hat that partially blocked what she looked like. Painstakingly the detectives watch the video from other videos around the area. They canvassed and were able to get the make and model of the vehicle she got into. --------- Coach Willis went down to his playroom after Larry had left. He did some cleaning before going into the back room to check on Vincent. Tonight was going to be the night. When he opened the door and turned on the light, he panicked. Vincent wasn't there. He rushed back upstairs to check his monitors to discover that the boy had used one of the bed slats to pry open the window and crawled out of it. The time stamp showed he had been gone since 8pm. It was now 10pm. --------------- Officer O'Connell and Officer O'Henry were out patrolling the neighborhood by the middle school. They saw this young boy about 10 years old wearing only a tshirt and a diaper with no shoes on walking around aimlessly. They pulled over and got out of their patrol car and approached him. He was covered in bruises and was crying. The boy was unresponsive when they tried to question him. They called in to dispatch to let them know that they found a young boy and were taking him to Kettle Falls Emergency Room to get him checked out. Dispatch asked for a picture of the boy to be emailed to headquarters. Dispatch said they would have child services meet them there. -------------- Andy walked into home room and noticed that most of his classmates didn't come to school today. He saw the teachers assistant Flint at his side desk and asked him why hardly no one was at school today. He told him that today there was going to be a special announcement happening at noon and that classes were not being held today. But I could earn extra credit if I stayed and helped set up the auditorium. Andy ask Flint what he needed him to do. "Wait here with me until Mr. Preston returns with the decorations" "Then he will give us our jobs" "Okay" ‐----------- Lyle got up early the next morning and got ready for school. He cut through the back yard and grabbed the baggie he had hid out their the night before. After he slipped it into his sock he rushed back out front but had just missed the school bus. Cursing himself at missing the bus, Lyle took off running through the rose garden. He managed to get to his friend Owen's house to try to catch a ride with. But he was informed by Owen's foster mom that he hasn't been home for two days. "Please if you see Owen, tell him to come straight home" "I will bring him here myself if I see him" Lyle figured he could cut though the park and still make the first bell. When he got to the park he saw several kids he went to school with. "Hey guys why aren't you heading to school" "No classes cause of the event at the middle school today" "Cool" Lyle said. Now he only had one problem to deal with. "Why don't you come hang with us" "We got something from your friend Kyle" "Let me see what you got" "Follow us" The two boys and Lyle went behind the parks maintenance building. When they got there the one boy pulled out a small baggie with two small white shards in it. This pissed Lyle off more than he thought it would. Lyle grabbed the baggie out of the boys hand. He opened it and dumped the contents out on the concrete walkway. Then he smashed it to dust with the soul of his shoe. "What did you do that for" "My sister had an overdose yesterday from that poison" "She's presently in the hospital with tubes coming out of her" "I didn't realize that it was dangerous" "Kyle said its better than any weed going around" "I figured that you would already know since you two are best friends Lyle was infuriated by that comment" "Not anymore were not" That statement stunned the two boys. Lyle and Kyle had been friends and next door neighbors their whole lifes. Lyle did an about face and headed straight towards the front entrance of the park. I spotted what he was looking for and went up to the entrance. I opened the door and walked inside. Good morning, how can I help you today. Lyle took his back pack off and set it on the floor in front of him. He bent down and pulled up his pant leg. He reached inside his sock and pulled out his baggie. Lyle then stood back up and placed his closed hand palm down on the table. When he opened it and pulled his hand away. The man looked down and saw the sandwich baggie with a good amount of small baggies inside it. He lifted his head and looked at the boy. "Where did you found this at boy" Lyle had tears running down his face. "Relax boy" "Your not in any trouble yet" "I'm officer O'Henry and this is my partner officer O'Connell" "Can you tell me where you got this" "Ill get in real bad trouble if I tell you " "Were the police son" "We will keep you safe" "You can't" "He will find out" "Who will find out" "The Lieutenant" "Do you mean Lt. Connors son" "Yes" "There is no need to son" "He has been suspended from the police department" "What about vice principal Potter" "How is he involved" "He helps the bully boys at the middle school" "I'm a newly recruited bully boy but I don't want to be" Interesting the officers thought. "Whats your name son" "Lyle" I'm going to call my boss and have him come here to talk with you" "Hes like us, the good guys" "Okay" Why don't you go with officer O'Henry and he will get you something to eat and drink until the sheriff shows up" Officer O'Connell photographed the evidence, bagged it and put it in the safe. He pulled out his phone and called the sheriff. Yes officer O'Connell" "Sir, we have a boy who about 30 minutes ago walk in our park substation and handed over 20 $10 baggies of crack cocaine" "He's presently with Officer O'Henry having a sandwich and drink" "Hes really scared to talk to the police" "Apparently Lt Connors is involved with this as is vice principle Potter at the middle school" "Good work officer" "Ill be right there" -------------- Gary opened his eyes and saw that he was hugging Nicolas close to his body. It felt good to him. He's been having conflicting thoughts about Nicolas ever since he first saw him. He had never really thought about it before but he never had a girlfriend. Am I gay he thought to himself. Just then Nicolas rolled over and his nose hit the tip of Gary's nose. Still half asleep Nicolas gave Gary a quick kiss on his lips. Nicolas opened his eyes and realized what and who he had just kissed. Having to pee really bad as his face turned red Nicolas jumped out of bed holding his dick and ran to the bathroom. Gary still slightly shocked from what just happened smiled. He got out of bed and joined Nicolas in the bathroom. "Nicolas were wearing diapers" "I know that but I'm about to leak and didn't want to mess up our bed" Gary realized what Nicolas just sad, our bed. The boys stripped off their soaking wet diapers and stepped into the shower to get cleaned up. Gary had gotten over his nsjex shyness around Nicolas. Now it didn't phase him to be in the shower with him. The boys helped wash each other and then got out to dry off. They brushed their teeth and combed there hair. It was Monday but since the boys disappearance Nanny told them they didn't have to go to school today. The boys opt to wear their new designer silky lace underwear that Leon dropped off last week. Then each put on a pair of short shorts that just barely showed the lace of the underwear. They pulled on matching hello kitty tye dyed tshirts and went downstairs to see if any new news about Mattie, Tommy or Ryan has been heard. --------------- Lee, Trent, Leon and Nelson arrived at the back entrance of Kettle Falls Park. There was yellow police tape all around the cabin where Ryans prints were found. The boys searched all around the cabin when Lee spotted several of kid size foot prints. They followed them into the thickets and got scratches all over there arms and legs. Beep beep Beeo beep "Quiet guys" Beep beep Beep beep "I found it" "I got another one over here" "Damit there both dead" "Here let me see if my battery will fit" "No it doesn't" "Here Trent, try mine" "Perfect fit" "Its booting up" "Its Matties phone" "He sent a message but it didn't go through" "Theres a picture attached" "I know that boy" "Its Dillion Connors" "Hes bad news" Trent said. ---------- Riniging "Hello Lee" "Nanny we found Matties phone" "Anything on it" "Yes, he tried to send a message but it didn't go through" "Must have been out of range" "Also there's a picture of Dillon Connors" "Boys stop what your doing and come straight home" "Keep that phone safe" "We also found another phone but its dead" "Keep that one safe as well" "Okay Nanny were on our way" Nanny turned around and saw Gary and Nicolas coming downstairs after just waking up from sleeping half the day away. "Morning you two "Morning Nanny" "Any news about Mattie or Tommy yetç "Actually Lee just called and said he found Matties phone with another phone over by the cabin" "He and Trent are on their way here now". Gary heard something slammed outside by thd back of the house. Manny went out front and saw Mrs Duncan sitting on the front steps and sat down with her. Gary and Nicolas followed behind Nanny and stepped out on to the porch. They could see there were people outside still very intent on finding the missing boys. ------------ Ryan awoke with a start. Which caused a chain reaction that awaken the other three boys. "Ouch Mattie" "Quit kicking me" "Sorry, I didn't mean it" "Hey guys, look over there We all got up and stretched out our muscles. We walked about twenty feet and came to a steel walkway grate. We went another thirty feet and came to a door. Upon opening it and stepping out Tommy and Mattie had a Dejavue moment. "This is the same landing we were on last time" "Hey follow us you two" "Mattie and I know where we're at" Tommy used his key to open the grate that went down into the tunnel system. Once everyone went down. Mattie locked the grate on the other side. They started walking back by way of the cart rails. After an hour of walking they came to another closed door. Tommy used his key and opened it. Mattie went through and found the light switch and turned it on. The whole area was flooded with light. Ryan and Owen were slightly shocked by what they saw. "Where are we at" they both asked. "Its kind of hard to believe but were under our house" "You mean The Brownstone" "Come on its this way" The boys walked over to the otherside of the room and climbed into the dumb waiter. Two at a time they went up. They got out at the basement level. "Were going go out the cellar doors over there and then try and make it to the front of the house" "Were all very sore, weak , thirsty and tired" "I want you two not to tell anyone about these secret tunnels" "Do we have your word" "Yes" The boys went out thd cellar doors and started walking around the front way. --------- Ryans mother was sitting with Nanny on the steps of the Brownstone when she thought she heard something. She turned her head and screamed. "RYAN" She got up and ran to her boy as he collapsed into her arms. The screaming caused everyone to turn their heads. Owen couldn't walk anymore and collapsed on the spot. Mattie and Tommy sat down where Owen was and helped him to stand again. Paramedics on the scene came running over to give aid to all the boys. --------- Mr Duncan had arrived at the middle school to be introduced as thd new Kettle Falls Superintendent and High School principle when his phones caller ID showed his wife was calling. "Yes honey" "Robert our boy is back" "I'm coming home" "I'll be right there" "Okay I'll see you soon" Excuse me but a very important development has happened in the kidnapping of my son Ryan. I need to head straight home. --------- Leon and Nelson split off from Lee and Trent and headed to there house. They were tired and dirty and wanted to take a shower before Leon's brother stopped by to pick him up. ----------- Lee and Trent rode up and saw alot of action taking place. Then they spotted Mattie and Tommy lying down on cots set up on the porch. They were getting cared for by the Paramedics. They jumped off their bikes and bolted up the stairs. Nanny stopped them and told them to let the paramedics do there job. Please donate to nifty archives. Help keep the site free. Sorry for the longer then normal wait for this new chapter.
