As they escaped through the tunnels James talked with his brother. "What happened to you that day?" James inquired.
Luke took a moment to respond.
He wasn't sure if he wanted to relive that day himself or not.

"I fought till one of their leaders came up behind me and knocked me out cold, when I came too I was in a camp filled with other kids doing actual battles to the death, the survivor was deemed worthy to move up in rank and fought others." Luke explained as he thought on that day.

"Okay this should bring us out at the old mall where our nightmares began." Luke said as he lifted the sewer grate.

"It's different from what I remember, more destroyed or something." James said as he poked his head out after Luke. "It's because no one cares for the place anymore." Felix said as he hoisted James out.

James stood there dumb founded, he didn't recognize the two boys before him, he felt he should know them but nothing about them was familiar.

"It's me, Felix.
Yeah I guess I no longer look scrawny and helpless." The boy laughed.
"I never thought you looked scrawny but I never imagined you looking like a wrestler either." James laughed. "Matty?" James assumed who the other boy was.
The two were inseparable he was like another brother to James.
The boys embraced in a hug.

"Belkamy?!" Miles ran to his brother who wrapped him in a bear hug.
The two sobbed as they hugged.
"Okay, cry babies...
Let's get moving." Luke smirked.
He made sure the boys and girls stayed in the center as he took point, Blake took the back with Miles, Matty and Felix took the outer edge on each side. James walked with Matty telling all about what he learned since they parted.

Luke stopped abruptly, Bellamy made his way to Luke all the while making sure everyone stayed down and quite. "Why are they out here it's to far from their leader?" Bellamy whispered. "They're a different group of N.W.
See that guy there, he's their leader I met him once with ours, they were discussing their entitlement.
Bruce seemed terrified of this guy." Luke explained.

Johnny and Cam joined them they were instantly frightened as was Raven and Mas.
"That's the guy who came through the camp the first night we arived, Gabe said he couldn't see us but I know he did." Raven explained.
"No he sensed your fear.
He's like a blood hound but instead of scent it's emotions one in particular, fear." Luke explained all the while watching the camp.
"Luke we have kids here who are terrified." Bellamy pointed out.
No sooner Bellamy said that the N.W. became aware of their spies.

"You can't blame me!" Bellamy said as Luke looked at him like he was the cause.
"Let's just get out of here." Johnny insisted.
But it was to late they were surrounded. Most of the kids did get away, except James, Luke, Matty, Felix, Mas, Raven, Miles, Bellamy Cam, Johnny, Jerry and his crew.

"What did my pets catch for me today?" The Hood figure sneered.
"Well look who we have, young Lukas, a bit far from your leader and with his prisoners, are they gifts for me?
The identical twins.
Did you think you could get away from him?" He grinned.
"Who is he?" Johnny snapped.
"Your father.
Well maybe not by blood but raised you and trained you.
Making you his.
Trust me boys the harder you fight the worse it will be for all of you." The hooded creature growled.
Luke and his boys stood ready to fight for the boys they just rescued.

"I was mistaken, they are not gifts and you boys are traders." The hooded figure growled as his eyes started to glow and before anyone could react all was black.
Cam and Johnny came too with their hands chained above their heads and their feet chained to the ground.
Johnny looked over at Cam who was hyperventilating staring at a figure in the corner.
"How are my boys?" The fraud Bash spoke.
Johnny stood tall at the sound of his voice.
"Why?" Johnny asked through clenched teeth and angry tears flowing.
"Because I need a sure fore ticket out of the camp and into the city who was going to deny a man with new borne a recently dead wife." The fraud chuckled.
As he stood in front of Johnny.
"What's your real name?" Cam asked.
"Jones...
Now you boys did follow my rules but what happened once on the train?" Jones asked as he pulled Johnny's head back by the back of his hair.
Johnny screamed in pain.
"We don't know a rebel group did it.
They took us to a camp that our real  parents are at." Cam said in a rush.
Jones let go of Johnny and moved to Cam.
"Tell me the name of the lead rebel." Jones ordered.
"Cam don't." Johnny snapped as Jones back handed Johnny in the mouth splitting his lip.
Cam was shaking and tears fell.
As he looked at Johnny who was still pleading with his eyes not to say anything else.
"Cameron Black either you tell me or I get to test out my new toys on your brother and this time I don't care if I kill him." Jones smirked as he looked over at Johnny.
"Aussie his name was Aussie." Johnny cried.
Johnny knew he was talking about testing it out on Cam not him.
"You have gotten smarter son.
Get them down.
Make sure you clean their wounds I don't want them to get an infection Mack." Jones said as he walked away.
"Good to see you again Lint." Mack punched Johnny in the stomach knocking the wind out of him.
"Why did he put us through this?
You obviously told him." Cam half whispered as Mack moved over to Cam.
"Did you say something to me?" Mack grabbed Cam by the throat.
"Mack!
You were told to tend to wounds not add them." Duke yelled as he punched Mack and practically tossed him across the room.
Cam shook as Duke unchained his wrists supported his weight till Cam said he was good.
Once Cam was free and stayed in the spot Duke had him, Duke freed  Johnny who needed the support.
Duke had Cam get the ankle chains while he kept supporting his weight.
Duke took them to an elegant Gothic looking room.
"There are warmer clothes in the wardrobe might be slightly big but it gets drafty here.
There is a bathroom here.
I will return with dinner soon." Duke said as he checked their wounds one last time.
"I'm taking a shower can you two." Johnny said as he got the clothes out.
After showers Duke returned with food.
After they finished and Duke came back to retrieve the empty plates he saw the boys snuggled in bed together.
Duke could see Johnny was the the protector by the way he held Can who in away looked younger and more fragile than Johnny.
Duke made sure they were tucked in and warm before leaving.
"Your poor boys." Duke sighed as he collected the plates that contained a little something to assure they sleep.
"Jones was it necessary to put the herb in their food?" Duke narrowed his eyes at Jones.
"Yes now leave." Jones said as he walked in and gave them each a shot that will keep them docile after the herb wears off.
"You were always good boys when you did as told." Jones said as he moved their bangs.
In away his own way he loved them and was angered when he heard what Mack did to them.
She Jones saw the deep purple bruise that formed on Johnny's side and the scar from when Mack slammed Johnny's head into the train enraged him.
But when he saw the hand print bruise on Cam's neck was the worse and the fact Cam winced in his sleep as Jones gently touched it.
"Duke get an ice pack for them while I go deal with Mack." Jones said as he stormed down to the room Mack was in.
"I told you they were valuable!
I never said you could hurt them!" Jones yelled at make.
"Get over yourself you did much worse than my few bruises." Mack chuckled.
"If I didn't check on them Cam could be at risk of suffocating!" Jones punched Mack in the head.
"You stay away from my boys.
If I see you intimidating them or hurting them or breathing the same air as them I will kill you" Jones was choking Mack giving him the bruise if not worse than Cam.
Jones walked away leaving Mack gasping as he locked him in his room.
"I locked Mack in his room.
I am the only one who will let him out.
How is Cam?" Jones walked over to check his breathing.
"No swelling.
Could be the herb.
I was reading up on it says it will reduce swelling." Duke smirked at his find.
"Just like you youngest.
Are you going to make yourself known to Luke and James?" Jones asked Duke as he sat in the other overstuffed chair.
"I haven't decided.
How do you explain to your boys you abandoned them after their mother died?" Duke sighed as he glanced at Cam and Johnny.
"Simple you had no choice you at least gave Luke a fighting chance.
Its not your fault Bruce got him.
At least he spared his life letting him stay a boy and not become a drone." Jones smirked at his close friend.
"Jones what is your plan for them?
Haven't you put them through enough?" Duke sighed.
"If I had a choice I'd walk them back up to their parents but you know I can't.
He is still looking for them.
But maybe its time to be less harsh and clue them in.
Go make sure the other boys are comfortable." Jones said as he removed the melted ice packs and made sure the boys were warm.
Jones resettled on the chair ready to spend the night.
Duke walked back in with two extra quilts and covered his mentor than got settled himself on the other chair.
