Ch. 15


Orlando’s eyes snapped open for what seemed like the tenth time that night. Looking around frantically he realized he was still in the bedroom, still surrounded by Viggo’s warm arms. Just like he had been last time he woke up and the time before that. Letting out a soft sigh, Orlando looked at the clock sitting on the night stand next to him; 4:13. Only forty minutes had gone by since the last time he had awoken. He looked around the dark room once more before relaxing back into Viggo’s arms. He knew he wouldn’t get any sleep tonight which was odd; usually he slept quite peacefully with Viggo holding him, but tonight was different, he couldn’t find any form of rest. He didn’t know what kept waking him up; he didn’t think it was nightmares, he couldn’t remember anything once his eyes opened anyway. Orlando didn’t keep waking up because he was scared, it was more like a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. Like something really bad was about to happen and there wasn’t anything he could do to stop it.

He was safe here, right? Viggo wouldn’t let anything bad happen to him, would he? Viggo had promised. He trusted Viggo, so he could trust Viggo to keep him safe. Safe…Orlando wondered if he ever would feel totally safe again…probably not. Not with Mark and Alex and the others out there free. Not until those four men were locked behind bars… but that wouldn’t ever happen. How can the police arrest themselves? That doesn’t happen.

No, Orlando thought, they will keep looking and looking for me, they won’t give up until they have me again.

“Orlando?” Viggo’s quiet voice broke through his thoughts. “What’s wrong?” Viggo had woken up every time Orlando had; feeling the body in his arms tense up every once in a while alerted Viggo to the fact Orlando had suddenly awoken. Orlando had never said anything and would usually just slip back asleep, so Viggo didn’t say anything either. But this time Orlando hadn’t gone right back to sleep; he had lain still for a few minutes before he started to tremble.

The unexpected sound startled Orlando; he hadn’t realized Viggo was awake. “Nothing just can’t sleep.” Orlando replied softly.

“Do you feel okay?” Viggo asked.

“Yeah, I just feel…off somehow…in my gut…I don’t know, like I’m anxious or something.” Orlando tried to get out around his confused mind.

“About what?”

“I’m not sure…I…I don’t know Viggo.” Orlando sighed.

Viggo hated the sad sigh that came from Orlando but as he didn’t want to make Orlando sadder he didn’t say anything; just started to rub Orlando’s back soothingly.

After a few minutes of silence Orlando whispered, “Sorry I woke you. You can go back to sleep, I won’t bother you, I promise.”

“You’re not bothering me; if you can’t sleep then let’s do something else.” Viggo looked around and spotted his book on the nightstand. “How about we read for a bit until you get sleepy?” Viggo asked with a yawn.

Orlando smiled at the selfless act of Viggo trying to help him get to sleep even though it was plain clear that Viggo was already tired himself. “You don’t have to do that, I’ll be okay.”

“I want to.” Viggo replied as he scooted up higher on the pillows and turned the bedside light on. “Come here.” Viggo lifted his arm up slightly.

Orlando rolled over so his head was resting on Viggo’s chest, one arm thrown around his waist. He liked this, he liked being held gently by Viggo this way. “What are you going to read?”

“Poetry,” Viggo said showing Orlando the cover of the book. “Here is one of my favorites; it’s called “The World’s Most Beautiful”.”

“I’d give anything to see the sun set on the horizon,
I’d do anything to gaze at a full moon in the night sky;
Even a rainbow would make me smile,
And I’d love to swim in crystal clear waters
Of an untouched sea;
Sometimes I’ll see a shooting star,
And try to gaze from afar,
All the diamonds in the night sky;
The mist on the mountains is breathtaking,
As is walking in rainforest;
To see cascading waterfalls I’d do anything for,”

Orlando sighed at the sound of Viggo’s gruff voice. It had a wonderful soothing effect on him and he felt his heart calm and his eyes grow heavy.

“As to stand on the highest peak in the world,
And look at the sights below;
I’d love to soar on wings above the clouds,
Across the bluest skies;
I’d do anything to see
All the beautiful things in the world,
Like a red rose blooming in the Sahara,
Like a river twisting through a dusty land,
All the beautiful things in the world”

Viggo paused and looked down at Orlando. His eyes were closed and Viggo could tell that he finally slept from his steady breathing. Smiling softly Viggo put the book back on the night stand and flicked the light off. He reached out to caress a curl back behind Orlando’s ear and finished reciting the poem he knew by heart.

”But I also know I am looking at
The world’s most beautiful creation,
Every time you smile,
And every time I look into your eyes.”

Viggo gently kissed Orlando’s forehead and whispered “What am I going to do with you Orlando? I can’t very well just let you go, not now that you’ve captured my heart.”

“That’s him?” Tork asked.

“That’s him.” Alex confirmed.

“Well…so that’s the guy.” Harvey stated.

“Yeah.” Mark declared staring at the computer in front of them. “That’s the fucker.”

It had taken them a few days to track him down; the guy had no criminal record, no outstanding parking tickets, nothing to track him down by. It had taken sneaky work on their part, having to make up reasons to go searching through files they wouldn’t normally be able to see. But in the end it had paid off, they had found him and now had all the information they needed.

“So…what are we going to do?” Harvey asked.

“Well I say we go pay the guy a visit.” Tork grumbled.

“Nope, not all of us, we can’t exactly just barge into his house without a reason; I’ll just go check it out.” Alex replied as he got up and grabbed his coat.

“I’m coming.” Mark stated.

“No, you’re not a cop Mark…”

“But it’s my step kid.” Mark interrupted.

“Yeah right! I’m sure the reason you want to find him is out of parental concern.” Alex snorted but gave in anyway. “Let’s go then.”


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Viggo was currently cleaning up their lunch when Sean walked through the kitchen door.

“Hey.”

Viggo looked up slightly surprised, “Hey, you heard of knocking? You seem to have developed this nasty habit of just walking into people’s homes.” Viggo stated dryly.

“Naw, just yours. What are you doing?”

“Cleaning up.”

“Yeah I see, where is Orlando?” Sean asked as he rummaged through the cupboards looking for food.

“He is up in the bedroom, sleeping maybe.” Viggo replied as he finished with the cleaning and turned around to see Sean sitting on the counter with a bag of peanuts in his hand. “You know, with as much as they are paying you at the hospital, you should really be able to afford your own food instead of eating mine all the time.”

Sean looked up confused, “Why? You have enough money to buy yours and mine and probably the whole streets too. Besides I’m never home so it would all just go to waste.” Sean said with a cheeky smile before his face took on a more serious expression. “No really Vig, I’m here because I’m worried about the kid.”

Viggo looked startled, “Why?”

“He hardly leaves the bedroom Vig! He might seem fine when he is around us and physically I think he is but mentally…” Sean waved his hand in the air. “He is still scared shitless of anything that moves or comes near him, it’s not healthy.”

Viggo sighed and looked down at the floor before meeting Sean’s eyes, “What can I do? I can’t get him a therapist yet or take him out of the house! There are four sick fucks after him in case you haven’t noticed!” Viggo was frustrated. He knew Orlando was not at all well, but he didn’t know what to do about it, he was in way over his head. It killed him to see Orlando so scared and helpless all the time. Viggo knew that the more time that went by without Orlando getting some kind of help, the harder it would be to get him accustomed back into a normal life.

“I have noticed...” Sean paused as he looked out the window over Viggo’s shoulder, “I have also noticed that the same police car keeps driving down the road, that’s like the third time I’ve seen it since I’ve been here.”

“What?” Viggo whirled around and looked out the window. He heard Sean jump down and join him. “You don’t think it’s them do you?” He looked over to Sean with some fear in his eyes. “I mean there are a lot of police in LA, right?”

Sean shrugged, “Who knows, but you really want to stick around and find out?”

“What do you have in mind? Take him to your place?”

“Nope, I was thinking more like your ranch in Idaho.”

Viggo turned to Sean at that, “Huh?”

“Think about it Viggo. It gets him out of the city and away from those sick fucks. There he can leave the house and run around the farm. You can take him into town and get him accustomed to being around people again. I doubt that the news cast was played all the way out there, besides hardly anyone has a TV out that way.”

Viggo thought about it and it did sound like a good idea. “Maybe you’re right. It would be good for Orlando.”

“Sure it would.” Sean said with a smile, “I’m always right.”


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Mark turned around again in the seat to look back at the house they had just passed for the third time. The house was nice; it was obvious the man, this Viggo character, had a lot of money. But he would be damned if that stopped him from getting his kid back.

“Well now what?” Mark asked bitterly.

“I’m not quite sure, we don’t even know if he still has Orlando in there.” Alex said as he drove around the corner and pulled over to the side of the road.

“Well the house looked dark, maybe no one is home; we could go look around a bit.” Mark said suggestively.

“No we can’t Mark! We don’t know that he isn’t home, and once again I’m telling you we can’t just break into the man’s house without a reason.” Alex explained somewhat patiently like he was talking to a kid.

“So if you had a reason…you could go inside?”

“Yeah, but we don’t.”

“Ok then lets make a reason.” Mark grinned evilly at Alex.

Alex looked at Mark for a few minutes before a smile slowly started to appear on his face. He pulled the car back onto the road as he headed back to the station. “Ok then.”
