Missing in Miami

Chapter 15

Blake and I went back to the station, the hospital promised to call if there was any change in Jesse’s condition. We already had a guard posted outside his room, so that he couldn’t leave should he wake up, but also, we didn’t want to risk anyone sneaking in to finish the beating they had started.

Blake asked, “do you think they might go after Tyler?”

I nodded, “yeah, that thought has crossed my mind. Do you have any bright ideas on how to find him?”

Blake shook his head, “nope.”

Ollie was still going through the list of homeowners on the suspected properties.

I asked, “any luck, Ollie?”

He replied, “not yet, Howard Edwards doesn’t own any of these houses, so far, all these places are owned by fine upstanding citizens. There are still a couple I haven’t got tracked down yet.”

Blake said, “keep checking Ollie, you’re on the right track.”

Blake logged onto his email, he said, “hey, I got an email from Wayne Harding.”

I stood behind him and asked, “what does he say?”

Blake opened the email, “he attached a copy of the lease for the top floor of the Regency.”

He opened the attachment, the leaser was a company called Diamond D Holdings Inc.

Blake looked over his shoulder at me and asked, “who the hell is Diamond D Holdings?”

I shrugged, “shit, I don’t know, does it list any other names on the lease?”

We printed the lease out and read the entire document, it had no other names listed. We got to the last page and found the signature, it was just a scribble, we couldn’t make out a single letter. Blake and I were going back over the lease to see if we missed anything.

Ollied jumped up, “wait, what did you say the name on that lease was?”

I said, “Diamond D Holdings, why?”

He pointed to one of the properties he was looking at in the country, “this one, this house right here is owned by Diamond D Holdings.”

We looked at the picture he was pointing to, Blake said, “and the location of the pool matches what we saw in those videos.”

I was already calling for the search warrant, the captain walked in, he asked, “what’s all the excitement?”

I hung up the phone, “We think we have the house where at least one of our missing guys is being held, I just called for a warrant.”

He said, “I’ll notify the breach team to meet you at the main road, you guys get going, you can brief them there. I’ll get the warrant from the courthouse and be right behind you. Wait for me before you do anything, just stay out of sight of the house.”

Half an hour later I was filling the breach team on the all the details. Ollie had brought a printout of the property. We were making an entry plan with the team leader as the captain pulled up with the warrant, he agreed with our plan. We surrounded the entire property and slowly began to move in toward the house.

Rob and Alex were sitting away from the rest of the guys in the house, they were talking about what had happened over the last few days. Alex told Rob about his experience with the prince.

Alex said, “I know it probably sounds stupid, but I think I may have feelings for Omar.”

Rob shook his head, “it does sound stupid at all, I knew I had feelings for Cory after the first time we were together.”

Alex asked, “really? And you still have feelings for him?”

Rob nodded, “yes, even though we had a fight the night I ended up here. In fact, even after what I have done here, I think my feelings have increased. I just hope that he still feels the same about me if I ever get out of here.”

Alex said, “I’m sure he does, how did you guys meet?”

Rob smiled, “we were at a party when we were still in college, he smiled at me as soon as he walked into the room. I had no idea if he was gay or not, but I immediately walked over to him and introduced myself. We spent the rest of the night sitting together talking, neither of us had any idea when the friends that we had come to the party with left. Once we noticed that the crowd was thinning, we decided to leave. He never even asked me to go to his place, I just followed him, we started to kiss as soon as we walked in the door. We shed our clothes as we made our way to his bedroom, we fell onto the bed as soon as we were both naked. We only quit kissing and stroking each other’s cocks to move into a sixty-nine, he has an amazing dick, I can taste it, even now. Cory started to play with my ass, it really felt good. Up until this point, I had only made out and did oral with a few guys, no one had ever touched my ass. Cory asked if it was ok, I quickly told him yes, but take it easy, it was my first time. He slowly replaced his fingers with his tongue, Jesus, it was the most incredible thing I had ever felt. I rolled onto my back and pulled my legs up and then he really went to work on my hole. I was putty in his hands, he could have done anything he wanted to me at this point. Cory gave my nuts and cock one more lick, then kissed his way up my chest. We started to make out as he slowly sank his hard cock into my hole. He was so gentle, he gave me all the time I needed to adjust, the slight discomfort only lasted seconds. The pleasure was flooding my entire body as he was fucking me as we kept our lips locked together. I took one of his incredible ass cheeks in each of my hands and pulled him in as tight as I could. I felt Cory’s cock swell to its full hardness and fill my insides with his cum. A second later my dick exploded, and I glued our chests together with my jizz.”

Alex adjusted his hard cock, “wow, that was incredible I wish I could meet someone like that.”

Rob also adjusted his dick, “yeah, Cory is great, I can’t believe we had a fight.” Alex saw a tear roll down his cheek.

Alex put his arm around Rob, “it will be ok, we’ll get out of here soon.”

Rob wiped the tear away, “yeah, I hope so.”

They were both startled when the thug that was out on the front porch came running inside. He said, “there are cops all over out there!”

***

After we had the house surrounded, I yelled, “this is the Miami Police Department, we have the house surrounded, come out with your hands up.”

***

Chuck yelled, “you two, go to the windows and if they move any closer, start shooting.”

All ten guys were now huddling together, out of the line of sight of all the windows.

The second man was looking out the back door, he said, “holy shit Chuck, there are at least 10 of them back here too, there is no way we can shoot our way out of here.”

Chuck was looking out the front door, “don’t be such a fucking pussy, they aren’t going to shoot back with all these guys in here.”

The first guy was looking out to the front of the house, he yelled back, “fuck you Chuck, you ain’t paying us enough for this shit.”

Chuck turned back to him, “if you know what’s good for you, you will do as you’re told.”

The second guy came up and stood next the other thug, “he’s right Chuck, we ain’t got a chance.”

Chuck pointed his gun at the two thugs, they quickly rushed him and threw him down on the floor. Thug number one pulled open the front door and threw his gun out, he yelled, “don’t shoot we’re coming out.” He put his hands up and walked out the door and was followed by the second man. Chuck scrambled to his feet and grabbed his gun, he saw his thugs had given themselves up. He turned back to the ten wide eyed hostages, he quickly grabbed Alex and walked toward the door.

***

We heard some yelling and the door opened, a gun flew out and we heard a man say he was coming out. He held his arms up as he walked across the porch, he was followed by another man. Our nearest officers quickly pulled them off the porch and took them into custody. The officer that took the first guys yelled back to us, “Chuck is still in there and he still has a gun.”

We held our positions, I yelled again for Chuck to give himself up. The door flew open, and Chuck appeared in the doorway, he was holding a gun on the young man that he had his arm wrapped around. I looked closer and realized it was Alex.

I yelled, “hold your fire.”

Chuck yelled, “you are going to let me get in my vehicle and drive away, or I start shooting, this one gets it first.”

I yelled back, “we can’t do that Chuck, now don’t do anything stupid. You know you can’t get away, let the kid go.”

***

The remaining boys stood there as Chuck dragged Alex with him as he walked to the door. Rob looked out the back door, he could see the police that were surrounding the house. He looked back to the front door, While Chuck was busy yelling, he whispered to the others, “come on, everyone out the back door.” Rob waved his hands to the cops in the backyard, as he opened the door, the others ran to the door as the officers pulled them behind some trees. Once the last guy was out the door, Rob turned back to the front door, an officer had gotten close to the back door, he whispered to Rob, “come on, you too.”

Rob shook his head, “no, I have to help Alex.”

The cop started to run into the house to grab Rob, but Rob had already started to run to the front door. As soon as the cop yelled for him to stop, Rob was already out the door, and he dove across the porch at Chuck.

***

In my earpiece, I heard the officers in the back yard say that the rest of the boys were coming out the backdoor and were safe. I was trying to talk to Chuck to get him to release Alex, I heard a commotion in the house. I panicked as soon as I saw Rob running out the door, he dove across the porch and landed right on top of Chuck. The gun went flying as Rob, Alex and Chuck came tumbling down the steps. Blake, Ollie and I ran to the porch, I jumped on top of Chuck as Blake grabbed Rob and Ollie grabbed Alex. Another officer ran up and helped me get my handcuffs on Chuck. Two more officers helped pull Chuck to his feet and put him in the back of a squad car. The other two thugs had already been loaded in two other cars.

I went to Rob, “that was the stupidest thing I have ever seen anyone do.”

He shrugged, “I couldn’t let him hurt Alex.”

I nodded, “it was also the bravest thing I have ever seen, but I promise, we weren’t going to let him hurt Alex.”

The adrenaline must have worn off, Rob just looked at me, then at Alex, he then started to shake and fell to his knees. Alex ran to him and fell beside him, “thanks Rob, I owe you one.” They embraced as they both broke down in tears.

I knelt beside them, and asked, “are you guys hurt?”

They shook their heads as I waved the paramedics over to check them out. The rest of the boys came walking around the house with the officers from the back. More officers were in the house making sure there was no one else inside. We gave the ten boys a few minutes to calm down, they were all sitting on the steps of the porch.

Ollie and Blake were taking everyone’s name and confirming that none of them were hurt with the help of the paramedics. I talked to the captain for a few minutes and walked over to the porch to join Blake and Ollie talking to the boys.

I held up a picture of Joey as I looked at all of them and said, “Joey Morris, do any of you know Joey Morris?”

They all shook their heads, “Alex said, “sorry detective, we’ve never seen or heard of him.”

***

Joey and Dylan had spent most of the day cuddled together on the couch watching movies and talking about their hopes and dreams. Dylan had never had any real friends or people in his life that he could talk to about things like this. He wasn’t sure why it was so easy to talk to Joey, but the more they talked the more comfortable he was telling Joey his deepest, darkest secrets.

Joey was just as comfortable talking to Dylan, he was also sharing things with Dylan that he hadn’t shared with anyone else, not even his parents.

Dylan went to the fridge to get them each a soda, he closed the door, “Mr. Edwards needs to come by soon, these are the last two sodas.”

***

We took all the boys to St. Joeseph’s Hospital to be checked over, thankfully they were all just fine, physically. I was hoping they were the same, mentally. The only real injuries were a couple of bruises that Rob and Alex sustained in their tumble down the steps.

While I was waiting, I slipped away to go to the lab to see Lucas. He smiled as I walked into the lab.

He gave me a quick kiss, “wow, my Drake has sure been busy today, rescuing young men and busting drug dealers.”

I squinted my eyes, “busting drug dealers? What are you talking about?”

He said, “we got a visit from your narcotics squad this morning. The new pharmacy assistant that was hired a few months ago has been stealing drugs and selling them on the street. He was dumb enough to use those bottles that you noticed.”

I said, “wow, I’ll have to talk to the narc guys when I get back to the station, I’ll have them ask their guy if he sold to Jesse Snyder.”

Lucas asked, “so are the boys, ok? Did you find all three of them?”

I shook my head, “yeah, they are all fine, but we still have one to find.”

He took my hand, “don’t worry, you’ll find him.”

I gave him a kiss, “thanks, babe, I’ll see you at home.”

Once the hospital released all the guys, we took them back to the station. We called Cory and Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox to let them know that Rob was safe, and they could come to the station to get him. I also called Claire so she could come get Alex, those were the best calls to make. I still had to call Mr. and Mrs. Morris to tell them that I still had no news about Joey.

I went to the narcotics room and got an update on their case, I was able to talk to the guy that had they arrested and confirmed that he sold the drugs to Jesse. He had taken the job at hospital a couple of months ago, with sole purpose of steeling drugs from the pharmacy to sell them on the street. He wasn’t involved in the abductions, he just supplied the pills, he said that he had no idea what Jesse was using the drugs for.

The boys were in the interview rooms, we were starting to get statements from all of them. Captain caught me in the hall, he asked, “what is your plan with all these guys?”

I asked, “what do you mean? We’ll get their statements, just like we do with all our victims.”

He said, “yeah, I know that part, but other than Rob and Alex, none of these guys have a place to live now.”

I paused, “shit, you’re right.”

The captain nodded, “yeah, I know I’m right. Do you have any bright ideas?”

I held up my finger, “maybe, give me a minute.”

I went to my office and made a phone call, I met the captain in the hall and smiled, “it’s all taken care of.” We walked to the interview rooms that the guys were in.

I said, “ok guys, it’s getting late, and I am sure that you are all tired, I have made arrangements with Wayne Harding. We will take you all to the Regency Hotel and each of you has a room for tonight and the hotel is preparing you a meal. We will pick you up again in the morning to finish getting your statements. We will keep several officers in the hotel for your protection.”
