Chapter Text
"Im going out" Johnnie said with a smile.
It was a wonderful day. It was sunny and slightly windy. Although it wasnt too hot, it was just a perfect temperature. Johnnie didnt usually go outside. He hated to be outside. But today was one of the days he felt much happier than usual. So he decided he would get some vitamin D.
"What!?" Jake was clearly surprised because he knew how much his friend hated the outdoors.
"Im going outside... On the other side of this door..." He pointed towards the front door.
"Well yeah no sh*t." He rolled his eyes. "But YOU want to go OUTSIDE?"
"Uh-... Yeah?" He looked at Jake "i want to go outside"
"Right, what are you planning on doing outside...?" Jake was now getting slightly concerned. Johnnie never went outside. He doesnt want his friend to do something stupid.
"Well i was gonna go to the shops get something random ill never use... Or eat"
"And thats the only thing your gonna do?"
"Yeah-"
"Can i come with you?"
"No i want to go alone"
"Alright but just know that ill be calling you pretty often"
"Yeah yeah whatever, your too protective" he rolled his eyes again as he laid a hand on the door handle "bye".
"Bye!" Jake smiled and waved as his friend walked out if the door.
Johnnie was already down the street. For some reason, he liked this. He enjoyed it very much. Maybe it was better to have someone to talk to along the way but this was fine.
He walked for about 10 minutes before getting a call from Jake. He took his phone out of his pocket and looked at the screen.
"Its only been like 5 minutes" he rolled his eyes and picked up the phone.
"Hey Johnnie! Youve been gone for like 15 minutes already"
"Jake its barely been 5 minutes"
"Nope i counted, its been precisely 15 minutes!"
"What the f*ck" he slightly laughed. "You really are overprotective arent you?"
"Well where are you right now?"
"About... Maybe 5 minutes away from target?"
"Oh alright, stay safe boo-bear"
"Bye"
"Bye"
They ended the call and Johnnie smiled to himself and happily walked into target.
In target, he just wandered around. To be honest, he didn't actually want anything. He got himself a redbull and walked towards the checkout. The self- checkout was closed for some reason but oh well.
As he was paying, the cashier looked around and gave him a small, glass bottle halfway filled with a mysterious blue liquid. Johnnie shook his head.
"No thanks..." He was slightly weirded out but the lady nodded her head.
"Trust me, take it, just dont drink it"
"Okay..."
He took it with him. He wasnt gonna drink it anyway. He was just gonna chuck it out once he got outside.
So he payed and walked out of the shop quickly finishing his redbull and chucking it in the bin and be put the glass bottle into hus back pocket.
He heard an ice-cream truck. He got excited, he loved ice-cream. But he hadnt had it in ages. He wanted some, so he walked up to the truck as it opened.
He put some cash down and asked for a vanilla ice-cream. The man behind the window shook his head and offered him a different ice-cream. But it was still vanilla so he accepted it - and it was also for free! It really was a great day. He licked it as he started to walk off.
Wrong, so wrong. It wasnt a good day. infact, this would be the worst day of his life.
As soon as he licked the ice-cream once, he felt extremely light-headed. He collapsed.

Meanwhile, Jake was at home. He was just watching some tv. He wasnt worried about Johnnie. He seemed so happy this morning, there was nothing to worry about. And the last time he called him, he was even happier. It looked like that man just needed some pure oxygen and fresh air for once.
And so Jake was happy.
He had a monster, gummy worms, popcorn and some microwaved pizza rolls all on a large plate as he watched his movie. Occasionally laughing at a funny scene or word said.
The movie was about an hour long. And when it finished, he got up and washed the plate from any grease that was left after the food. It was getting darker by the time and Jake was starting to get a little bit worried.
Maybe he should call him. Yeah.
He picked up his phone and looked at the time. His eyes widened as he saw what the time was. Usually, Johnnie would already be asleep. He would be in a deep sleep and nothing would be able to wake him. (Apart from Jake's blender).
He quickly unlocked his phone and called Johnnie. It rang, and rang, for at least a minute before it rang no more. So he tried again, maybe he didnt hear the call. Nothing. He tried again. Still, nothing. There was nothing, he didn't even pick up the phone.
"sh*t-" was all he said before he put his shoes on and walked out of the door with only his phone and keys.
While he was walking, he was still trying to call Johnnie to no avail.
He walked faster and faster, as his heart beat faster and faster. His phone location wasnt even on.
But he walked through every store. He even walked through most of a large forest. Okay, not most of it, just some of it. But there was no way he would be there anyway... Right?
He made his eay down to a bridge and all he could hope was that Johnnie wasnt down there.
He sighed and started making his way back to target. He would have one last look before he called the police.
As he walked through the parking lot to try get to target faster, he saw something on the ground.
A black jacket and a phone on top of it.
"What the f*ck!?"
He ran over to it, but didnt pick it up. It wasnt 100% Johnnies and he didn't want to touch it if it wasnt his. But he got an idea. He took his phone out of his pocket and called Johnnie.
He didn't dare look up when he heard a ringing.
"Hes f*cking with me for sure" he mumbled quietly to himself. He stood up.
"JOHNNIE!? IF YOU DON'T COME OUT IM CALLING THE POLICE!"
He shouted quite loud but there was barely anyone around. He didnt want to touch the stuff though. He walked up to it and examined it with his eyes.
"f*cking hell"
He shook his head as he dialed 911.
"911 whats your emergency?"
"Hey uhm, i think something happened, to uh my friend."
"Okay, whats your name?" You could hear her typing on her keyboard.
"My name... Jake. Jake Webber"
"Okay and whats your friends name?"
"Johnnie Guilbert"
"Alright, when was the last time you saw him?"
"Last time i saw him was at home, we live together, about 3 maybe 4 hours ago by now. But i uh- called him maybe about 2 hours ago?"
"And what makes you think something happened?"
"Well he was gone for ages so i went out to look for him. I was very worried mostly because he has depression and im just hoping he didnt do anything stupid. But now im standing here Infront of target and his jacket is on the floor, along with his phone."
"I see... Is he nowhere around?"
"No ive tried calling him"
"And your Infront on Target?"
"Yeah"
"Okay, i think im gonna send the police over to you. Its not far so itll only take around 5 minutes, if you can just stand there for me?"
"Yeah definitely"
"Good... They should be there soon. Do you want to stay on call with me?"
"No... i-...i think ill be fine from here, thank you"
"No problem, stay safe bye"
"Bye"
And so he hung up. He just stood there awkwardly his legs slightly shaking from the nerves.
And the woman behind the phone was right. The police got there exactly 5 minutes later. Jake waved over to them so the knew where he was.
They all quickly ran out if their vehicles over to where he was.
"Jake Webber?"
"Yeah-"
"We're just going straight into the case, we were told you have some of his stuff here?"
"Mhm its just there i- haven't touched it"
"Good, you shouldn't touch it, it could lead us to where he is." He turned away from Jake. "Alright guys, come over."
"God i hope hes okay" he teared up as he watched tge police start collecting any evidence
(GUYS IM NOT A POLICEMAN IDK HOW THIS WORKS 😭)
___
Its been almost 2 hours since the police started their attempt to find Johnnie. And whilst they did that, he was out cold on the floor. Did i mention that was the fourth time he passed out?
It was like hell. Literally. The things that were dont to him were unspeakable, scarring and would probably leave him traumatised. Infact it will leave him traumatised.
And he didnt know how long he would be trapped there, in his kidnappers basem*nt. It was a very empty basem*nt. The only bit of furniture that was there was a bed, king sized, and a small table just in a corner. I think we all know what went on in that room.
He couldn't move. He was covered in bruises. His legs were just unable to work. And his vision was blurry.
He had to breathe through his mouth, the air was thick and he didn't know what to do. He would probably end up dead in that room.
"Well, well, well. Is the pretty boy awake?"
Johnnie looked up only using his eyes and immediately looking back down, a single tear falling from his eye. He couldn't say anything either. It was very painful- physically and emotionally.
"Awh whats wrong? Do your legs hurt? Maybe your head? Do you want some water" he smiled and started laughing as hard as he could.
Soon enough, after he stopped laughing, he walked up to the small boy laying on the cold floor and picked him up harshly, sorry, no, he grabbed him and sat him up.
"Well lets go in for a round two. Or is it three? I cant even remember! God your amazing. Lets get back into it"
He was so weak he couldn't scream or cry anymore. But that didn't matter.
___
Jake was at home, in his bed, crying. He was scared for his friends life. He didn't know where he was and what was happening. Was he even alive?
Suddenly he got a phone call. He sat up as fast as he can and answered th phone- it was the police, again.
"Any good news this time? This is already the fifth time you guys are calling me"
"Yes, actually, we know where he is, well, kind of"
"What do you mean 'kind of'?"
"We dont know the exact address"
"Well how fo you find the exact adress?"
"We dont know how, were just gonna have to go around and question people"
"Alright, well, do i get to come along?"
"I suppose so, we'll pair you up with one of the armed officers"
"Alright"
"Okay ill come pick you up, while the others begin tge investigation"
"Okay, bye" He quickly hung up and ran outside waiting to get picked up, he looked like such a mess but whatever.
___
Johnnie was out again. But nothing could prevent that. He was naked on the floor, covered in all sorts of liquids.
His kidnapper stood up and laughed as he walked away.
And there was a knock on his door. He wnt to open it.
"Hello?"
"This is the police and we're here for some questioning"
"How come?"
"Thats not important right now. Can i come in?"
"W-well, why cant we talk here?"
"Because we're also doing a search. But dont worry about it, its happening to everyone in your area"
"Why is everyone getting searched?"
The officer sighed.
"Its because there is a missing person/ they were kidnapped and our detectives all agree they're in this area."
"Right...well, theres no one here"
"Great!, then you shouldnt mind if i have a search around your house!"
"Your not coming in..."
"Yes i will"
The officer stormed into the house. Jake was with a different policeman at the time so he was quite bored, just walking around peoples houses.
Anyway, as soon as the officer walked in, he could tell something was off. He spoke into his radio.
"I need backup, i think ive found the house"
He put the radio back as he slowly started walking around the house. There was nothing but the basem*nt left.
And so he walked down there. And there he was. Tge policeman ran up to him and checked his pulse. It was there. He spoke into his radio again.
"I also need an ambulance, im at house 69, corny way"
Jake heard this from someone else's radio and ran up to them.
"An ambulance?" He was shocked, scared, he had mixed feelings to be honest. He dodnt know what to think. This whole thing was terrifying to him.
